   Food was fantastic but service leaves much to be desired. Everything from lack of TP in the bathrooms to mishearing responses or not hearing us call as they passed by. Repeatedly slow, forgetful , or neglectful service . Hope they get their act together (and lower the volume of the music so that staff can hear) as Carlsbad needs more great restaurants with great food.

   It was my birthday. I received acknowledgement from the front desk person who accepted us as we entered the restaurant for it, but the waiter showed no knowledge of this. I was offered no dessert or anything. The place got pretty busy and our waiter disappeared and seemed to lose interest over us. We had to tell him we wanted to order dessert. After we ordered, we sat and waited for a while just for the desserts which made no sense since we ordered them to go. I was a little irritated that 1) I had to order a dessert and 2) I had to wait for it to be delivered to go. The restaurant did not make me feel special on this day. I thought the restaurant was very pretty. The food was good, and the coffee and the bread were excellent! Parking was on the street and I had to park down the street to get a spot. Which can be a problem for elderly or disabled. Which we had both in my party.

   unfortunately, it was a scattershot of hit and misses. the cocktails were excellent. the fish platter was decent, with the yellowtail being underwhelming. there wasn’t enough bread for the fish, but more bread was a bit too much. the nduja pizza was very good, however the bucatini was one of the worst dishes i’ve ever tasted in my life. the pasta was lifeless and way overcooked, and lacked any flavor other than lemon. the bucatini was so overcooked it turned in to linguini.

   Third time at Wildland and it was just as delicious. We have officially tried every item on the menu and are big fans.

   We celebrated my wife’s birthday with family and friends. Jefferson was our server and he was great. Thank you to all the staff and management. We had a great evening. One we’ll remember for a long time. Thank you, Yrigoyen Family

   We had high hopes and the place was packed on Friday evening. Food was pedestrian and kitchen was overwhelmed - server was kind and let us know that but it took over 30 min after our main should have arrived to get our food. We had wanted to try dessert but opted to leave. Both of us preferred the untoasted sourdough to thebtoasted version that came with butter. We had the fish plate with steelhead gravlax (trout), smoked salmon (good), and the yellowtail - we thought this would come sashimi style but it comes like cooked mild tunafish with thin meyer lemon slices. The fish plate does comes with sliced red onions and capers, but it comes with yougurt vs. whipped cream cheese so just be aware. My clams pasta was way overcooked to the point it was mushy and when you tried to separate the pasta the whole clump raised up. All the sauce was underneath and was super oily and none of it had been mixed into the pasta. I did it the clams which I believe were manila clams and cooked well although bland as the sauce hadn’t blended with it sufficiently either. We also ordered a margarita pizza - it was ok pizza dough but not truly Neapolitan style with the marbling crust and ingredients were clean tasting but just ok. Usually you would expect everything to ”pop” in the mouth with this style of pizza. A few other things to note. We sat outside and they have quite a few heat lamps which was great. Bring a sweater/jacket too as it was breezy. Noise level was ok outside but inside was REALLY loud. And note there is NO parking so street parking and come early if you are trying to park near the train station as it was overflowing with cars looking for spots. The place was buzzing and feels trendy. Casual atmosphere.

   We had a great time. Pizza was incredible, pasta from scratch was so good but the promos pasta was a bit too lemon-y for me. Jefferson was a great server! Chicken was bomb as well as the mushroom app and cabbage salad.

    Great tasting food. Jefferson was awesome as our server. Music a bit loud but I was sitting under the speaker. Nice place.
