HISTORY IN PLAIN SIGHT

VIGILUCCIS.COM

The Land & Water Company has reclaimed the Victorian Queen Anne home located in the center of the city of Carlsbad.

Not only is it the landmark the city deserves but eight months after opening was ranked one of the top 10 best new restaurants in San Diego. The Land & Water Company is quietly leading the nation not only with its cuisine but also with conservation. It works with the U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA, and South West Fisheries Science Center helping to source new sustainable seafood options for the United States.

All of their beef, pork, lamb, and chicken are part of a program that only 2 percent of the United States utilizes. Our proteins are always all natural, humanely raised, with no antibiotics or hormones. We also compost our organic waste, reclaim all of our waste water, and recycle everything that comes out of the restaurant. The building, the cuisine, and the care, has all derived from the hands of our chefs. www.landandwaterco.com
