Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Encinitas

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.

Al=ways an excellent experience. We really appreciate that Vaga provides so many Gluton and Dairy Free choices on the menu.

A wonderful experience! Went with my wife to Valentine’s Day. She was immediately charmed by the relaxed ambience and then blown away by the five-course meal. The ingredients and taste combinations were delicious. I don’t drink so they paired each course with perfect no-alcoholic drinks . My wife’s food was paired with very interesting alcoholic beverages which enhanced her courses. Staff was excellent: smart, down-to-earth and attentive. Highly Recommended!

Our server, Alejandro made our experience phenomenal. We had one of the best tables in the house and the chef’s special was a great value for me and my dining partner. Ambiance, sunset views, and delicious food and drinks.

Absolutely outstanding!! My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate our anniversary, it was our first time dining here and we were floored. Our server, Jillian, guided us through the menu and gave us amazing recommendations! From the 1st course to the last, she made everything special. We ended with a small beignet tree and the house made cookies, along with a super thoughtful anniversary card. Yes it is pricey, but so worth it. The food, service, and ambience were beyond exemplary. Thank you Jillian and Steak 48!
