Best Authentic Restaurants in Crown Ridge

Happened upon the outside posted menu of the restaurant while visiting the German Village and was intrigued. Got a same day reservation. The experience was no less than brilliant. The ambiance expertly crafted. The staff exquisitely attentive and as a cook myself, the food was jealously fantastic. Hope I can visit Cento again soon!

We had a wonderful valentines dinner! Ever thought it was louder than normal due to being extra busy it was great dinner. The steak I had was amazing and my husbands go to the pepperoni pizza was also super delish. We dine here often and we will def be back!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cilantro for Valentine’s Day, and it was such a fantastic experience! This place really stands out with its unique Latin fusion cooking—it's as authentic as Venezuelan food gets, fresh and absolutely delicious. Unlike many other Latin fusion spots, this one doesn't just serve a Mexican take; it offers something truly different. The decor was lovely—understated yet elegant and warm, creating a perfect atmosphere for the evening. The live music really added to the ambiance, making it feel even more special. I loved how they decorated for Valentine’s with single roses hanging from the ceiling among the green wall decor; it was such a nice touch! For our dinner, we enjoyed a special five-course tasting menu paired with a tropical cocktail, all at a surprisingly reasonable price—definitely a welcome change from the pretense of other top chef-inspired places. A big shout-out to our charming waitress, Alexandra, who was fantastic at explaining each course and checking in on us throughout the night. Overall, Cilantro made for a truly magical Valentine’s dinner. I highly recommend it!

Amazing food and great service! We were a little bummed it was a limited menu for Valentines Day, but understood why. Excited to go back and try the full menu

What a wonderful place! Beautiful and deliciously crafted food that’s fairly priced, calm ambiance with low lighting, and super thoughtful and kind staff. Definitely try this amazing restaurant!
