   We made reservations and still had to wait an additional 15 minutes. Food and drinks took forever to get to us. 20 minutes alone to get our drinks and another 10-15 minutes to get our appetizers. Food menu was subpar from last time which was great even though it was during the end of the pandemic time. Not sure I would go back again and the cocktails were not good at all.

   The entire Stone Team did an excellent job in accommodating our large group. Food was hot, delicious and delivered promptly. Staff was friendly, responsive and knowledgeable. And beer.... need we say more?!? We had a couple outliers who tried tha Jalapeno/Pineapple Marg and a Pomegranate Soda - both beautiful, refreshing and delicious! As an Escondido resident with several traveling guests, I am so proud of this hometown gem! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

   We get it, orders on the app and all but please read the notes in the order! The kitchen does *not* look at the details on the order. We asked for no mustard on my sons burger and no habanero on hubbys tacos. Our waiter never came back so husband suffered through the spiciness of the habanero pepper he asked to leave out - on Father’s Day, just no fun for him with a mouth full of fire the beer didn’t help wash out. The drink I wanted was on the paper menu but not on the app and with server never coming back to check on us I had to walk up to the bar to ask if it was just out. I settled on a Prosecco - $15 ok fine it’s a brewery but unreasonably pricey for a glass of not top shelf bubbles. I want to love this place but come on. The one good thing was they had more food options this time and my steel head trout was delicious. I hope someone convinces me to go back…

   Thank you for the feedback Suzie, I definitely understand the frustrations with the ordering system and what gets lost in translation, it is certainly not a perfect system and there is definitely a lot of room for improvement. We are hiring and staffing up with the goal of moving away from the QR code app system so we can have our staff at tables who can make sure those details are executed by the kitchen. I apologize for the lack of service and I hope to have that remedied soon.

    Ordering system, level of service, friendliness of staff were all pretty horrible during our visit on June 19th. It was to the extent that it made my wife and I think if we should ever invite folks to join us here again. Didn't impress my parents - order system and service were so poor. It's fine for a party of 1 or 2, but for anything larger than a party of two, this was a total miss and let down. Too bad, I've been a big fan of the gardens for many years, but this isn't sustainable in a post-covid world.

    Thank you for the feedback Eric, we definitely understand your frustrations, and we are working to get enough staff to do away with the QR system and get back to traditional style service.

    The menu has changed and even the size of the plates has changed. The sides come small condiment bowls (we ordered a side of potatoes and there were 5 small bites of potato in the bowl). I miss the days of the old Stone Brewery - it was perfect the way it was before the pandemic. Bring back the old menu (including the brownie sundae). We were very disappointed. Also recommend getting the liquor license for margaritas, etc. The saving grace was the kind employees - they were great.

    Stone Brewing World Bistro & GardensResponded on June 16, 2022

    Thank you for the feedback MaryAnn, I apologize that the food wasn't up to standard to what you are used to. We're always trying out new dishes to keep things fresh and fun, but I also miss a lot of those old menu items, I will be sure to let the Chef know! We'll be addressing the portion size of the sides as well, it's been an issue and we can absolutely do better.

    Poor internet service and unable to use the ordering app. Waited 20 minutes before server talked to us.. Food came out before the drinks did. We had to eat our food cold as we waited for our drinks. I have never seen this in my life.

    Stone Brewing World Bistro & GardensResponded on June 16, 2022

    I'm so sorry about your experience here Oscar, staffing is something we have been struggling with and is a top priority, and I apologize it so negatively affected your visit. We are hiring as fast as possible with the goal of moving away from the phone ordering entirely and returning to traditional service, in the meantime please feel welcome to request traditional service from the host stand and we're happy to provide!

    Everything was wonderful! My husband is a home brewer and huge fan of Stone Brewing so we knew we had to make time to visit on our vacation. Food was excellent, weather on the patio was fantastic, service was great (even when my 10 yo son gave our server a toothpick that was in his mouth to throw away - I’m mortified). My kids enjoyed the WiFi — sometimes parents on vacation with kids need a respite from the crazy and table screen time is okay. 😊Would definitely come back if ever in the area. It was a great last stop before heading back home to Texas. PS - LOVE the online ordering system!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    We had a great spot outside due to reservations (make sure you reserve in advance) the wait for a table was around an hour if you don’t. Service was good at first, then our server took a break and our replacement was subpar. Took at least 20 minutes after we finished our meal to get the check. We even switched tables to get out of the sun while waiting for it.

    Ordering system is confusing and leads to less interactions from wait staff. Food took a long time to come, and seemed to come at different times or didn’t include everything we ordered. We had to ask for any drink refills or order them in the mobile app. Just go back to traditional food ordering and get rid of the mobile ordering. Otherwise food and environment were great.

    Thank you for the feedback Jaclyn, and we hear you about the phone ordering, we've been hiring up for the last couple months with the goal of getting back to full traditional service and had some great luck recently with some awesome staff. We'll implement that as soon as we can!

    PROS: Ambiance, beer and improved service. The outdoor ambiance was very nice as usual although it was a bit noisy with the water sound by the koi pond. They told us that they were gradually coming back to the pre-covid service, meaning that we would still order with the app but more humans would be checking on us. The different servers came by and checked on us and that was nice. They were definitely trying hard to improve the service that they really dropped during covid. Beer is always good. My husband who drinks lagar says the salt & lime lagar is drinkable. CONS: Menu needs some help… We used to order flat bread and craft burger but both of our faves are gone and we don’t know what to order from the current heavily Asian-inspired menu. Don’t get me wrong, I love Asian food!! So far, I tried Katsu chicken salad and kung pao brussel sprouts but they were disappointing. They need a bit more than just some teriyaki-like sauces. I order them without sauces now. I am disappointed with the simplified interpretation of Asian food on the menu. The burger department is sad now without the gourmet Craft Burger. Please bring back Craft Burger!! Pretzel Burger is not even comparable. When the app doesn’t ask us how we want the burger cooked, we know what we are getting… pre-cooked patty?? My husband loves burgers but after ordering pretzel burger a couple of times, he wanted to try taco freight for the first time. That says a lot… We will return anyway since we love this place, but if the current menu continues, soon we will be going just for a drink in the garden.

    Thank you for the feedback Mindy and I really appreciate you sticking with us for so long! You're not the only one who misses that True Craft Burger, it was one of my favorites as well, and I'll be sure to pass it along to Chef!
