Vegetarian or meat eater, Wildseed is such a special restaurant. High-end vegetarian food that I think can satisfy many a meat lover. The space is beautiful. The dishes are so delicious. I had something called neatball masala and it was so flavorful, filling, and reasonably priced. My friend loved her impossible burger. The staff is very nice, but they seem understaffed and just a little too busy to pay close attention to each table. This is not the fault of the staff who are working so hard, but the restaurant could hire a few more servers. Even so, I already look forward to my return to Wildseed.
