    Yes. All kinds of yes. Food and service were excellent, just like last time. I had the buttermilk fried chicken, which is delicious. Get extra gravy, you're welcome in advance. My boyfriend got the cheeseburger, which he enjoyed, and the red pepper bisque was also very good. We ended with the butter cake, which was as crazy amazing as I remembered. 10/10, would recommend. See you next time we're in town, Nick's!

    We were looking for a spot for dinner on our last night in Carlsbad and found Wildland on Open Table. It turned out to be a great decision. The staff was very accommodating and managed to find a table for us inside even though we had booked an outside table as that was all that was available when I made the reservation. The menu is a little different, but everything we ordered was amazing from pizza to pasta and they have great cocktails. Highly recommend.

    I was so excited to find out that we have a new little restaurant in Carlsbad, and that it is Peruvian! My friend and I had a wonderful dinner with appetizers and drinks (they have delicious Pisco cocktails) on the charming patio. Our server Corley was a gem. The owner and most of the staff are Peruvian. Highly recommend this little spot!
