    Wildland will be one of our go to restaurants in Carlsbad. The food is unique with the mix of superior spices, presentation, and excellent quality. Corinna was exceptionally knowledgeable, pleasant, and friendly. She guided us as she described the dishes and provided an opening to the expected experience. Without a doubt we will return again, and again, and again.
