everything was delicious, hearty and wholesome. while it was healthy feeling food it still has so much flavor. lastly their brunch menu is great and dont forget to try a mocktail or two Updated from previous review on 2026-03-01
I’ve been a huge fan of the place and regularly order take out 2-3x a week for dinner. They recently changed the takeout box for the spicy yellow curry to be one box (vs separate ones for the rice & curry). This ruins the rice texture and they are also skimping on the curry proportion - sad to see & hope they fix it
Seversl times here and loved my food.

Upon arrival messed up seating and moved us from one table to squeeze 5 adults into a 4 top. When asked about a 5 top that was empty they stated it was for a party of 7, even though it could not fit 7. A few minutes later 4 people were seated there. White wine served barely chilled had to ask for ice. Lame. Fries came cold, reordered came a tiny bit warmer. Fries with burger cold too. Busy night at restaurant but several things not related to busyness just no attention to detail. For the price not worth it.

I visited with a friend today and we felt so unwelcome from the moment we walked in. The host was unpleasant to talk to, but we got on the waitlist and were figuring out if we even wanted to go back. But we returned and sat down while our server attended other tables. We waited fifteen minutes before even receiving water, which had food particles in it. The server apologized for the wait but throughout our meal we felt ignored and unwanted. Another note was that the restaurant wasn’t busy. It got a bit busier toward the end when we had to go up to the host stand once again because our server didn’t collect payment. The food was decent, at least. We work in the service industry and understand being understaffed and/or off days, but having the sense of being unwelcome is an awful feeling. Left our 20% tip and all, but we don’t want other people feeling like this.

I think this place just recently changed management because based on older reviews, service was part of an excellent experience. When we arrived, nobody greeted or cared to sit us. The bar tender had to come out and guide us to our table. Once seated multiple servers roamed and made eye contact with us and decided to ignore us. Not until I reached out to someone who looked like management, helped us out and not with the best attitude
The food is another story. Great flavors and I’d definitely come back for the food. Not the service or management
High on my vegan restaurant list.
A must go to.

Cold Fries returned - the cook put them back in the fryer, now double greasy - Gross! I ordered the veggie burger and it was service on a cold untoasted thin bun. $24 for this?!?!

Food was ok. Some of the dishes felt quite small and a little under seasoned. Cocktails were good. The restaurant was quite loud and cacophonous, making conversation a bit difficult.

My partner took me here to celebrate Valentine’s Day and we had a wonderful time. The food and service were fantastic and we especially enjoyed the butternut squash ravioli.
However, the many of the chairs did not interact with the tables in a way that I would consider correct. we were sitting across from a 4 top table with a booth on one side, and two chairs on the other. and one of the chairs was more crooked than the other chair. And the table had one pillar instead of 4 legs, so then one of the chairs had one of its legs on the base of pillar and therefore was not correctly positioned with 4 legs on the ground, so it was quite distracting.
Altogether though, we had a great experience at this restaurant even though the table-chair interaction situation wasn’t ideal

Hope a team of scientists could find out:
- How is it possible for Wildseed to produce food so bland and so utterly tasteless (truly a skill).
- How do they convince people to spend their time and money eating it anyway
I may never know the answers to these questions.

I’ve tried to give Wildseed multiple chances because I want to support plant based restaurants, but every single meal here has been disappointing and this last visit pushed me over the edge.
I left feeling sick after eating, which is especially frustrating because this place markets itself as “healthy.” The cheesecake clearly had gluten or serious cross contamination, and if you’re sensitive I would not trust the labeling.
As a lifetime vegetarian, I’m honestly confused who this restaurant is for. It’s not for people who love vegetables, and it’s not for people who care about thoughtful vegan cooking. The menu leans heavily on ultra processed substitutes like Impossible meat instead of showcasing actual produce, seasonality, or any real point of view.
The food is consistently bland. The pasta tastes like it was salted as an afterthought. The pizza is dry and cardboard like. The burger is just another forgettable Impossible patty with no care or craft behind it. Nothing feels fresh or intentional, and several dishes taste like they’re built from frozen components.
What’s most disappointing is the lack of identity. A vegan restaurant should celebrate vegetables, local ingredients, and flavor. Instead, this feels like a concept built around processed products and watered down recipes.
If you want a great gluten free pizza, go to Joyride. If you want a genuinely good vegan burger, Roam actually makes a house patty with flavor. Wildseed just doesn’t seem to make anything memorable.
I truly don’t understand the hype.

The brunch dishes are delicious with lots of good drink options both alcoholic and non alcoholic. I would love even more brunch options! Dinner options are ok.

My friends and I had an absolutely lovely experience. When making our reservation, we mentioned that we were celebrating a special celebration, and we felt that we were treated specially when we arrived. Our table was in a lovely location, and our server was excellent! We were a group of 5, and we each felt that we were taken care of :) Our food was delicious, the smash burger was scrumptious, and the herb garden aioli with the fries was to die for! Wildseed was a lovely experience, and we will definitely be back.
