good food and quaint atmosphere. my significant other and i often dine at the wild olive in crestview, which means at least once or twice weekly and we are continually surprised by occasional negative hit and run comments about this exquisite dining experience. in fact, if the wild olive were in atlanta, birmingham, or miami those same make-believe food critics would be raving about the ambience, the food preparation and presentation and attentive wait staff. frankly, i would even go so far as to suggest most of those who complain about the wild olive wouldn't have a clue how to unfold their napkin in a place like alinea, in chicago. and i say this as someone who can honestly claim to have dined in six of the highest rated restaurants in the united states. quite simply, the food in the wild olive is some of the best in the southeastern united states. the only drawback in the menu is fairly limited, and there is nowinelist, but apart from those minor annoyances the food is superbly prepared and served by competent wait staff. and it is not a fast food place, so sit back relax, and enjoy a culinary experience that will shock you. the only question you should leave with is how does a dinky little town like crestview deserve a restaurant with such high standards?
