Best Carlsbad Restaurants to Try
"Dry-aged steaks and hearty meat entrees are a big draw at this steakhouse but the restaurant’s detail to service will make your meal one to remember. The restaurant’s commitment to farm-to-table shines in the veggie side dishes (seasonal ingredients are harvested from its private farm nearby), and seafood dishes like the Chilean sea bass are just as delicious as the meats. Insider tip: Daily happy hour 4:30-6:30 PM"
