   Beautiful ambiance in the garden patio. Menu a bit limited, service was good but somehow our first order attempt thru their app didn't work, so had to reorder... result was a very long wait for food. Carnitas taco plate excellent, charred chicken was, well, charred/overcooked. Beer was excellent & desert was good.

   Food is so great. Big improvement from when they first opened. Three tacos, eggplant, pastor and fish. Tasty and small tortillas but tons of meaty filling. Fruity Goat salad was loved. Service is super friendly and attentive. They really have their service down to a science. Sitting outside is beautiful. The gardens are so refreshing.

    Haven't been here in awhile, easily 5 - 10 years and it did not disappoint. It felt like a hidden treasure with great ambiance and definitely improved food. We ordered the ahi nachos and brussells sprouts and main course was the salmon. I would definitely recommend for a special occasion or a casual meal. The prices were very reasonable.

    The ambience and food is soothing and magnificent. The food is innovative and delicious. The beer selection is great. We loved the Brussels sprouts with kun pao sauce and peanuts. The gardens are vibrant the outdoor seating is magical. It’s the perfect place to hang with friends and business meetings. Love it. Can’t wait to go back

    Decent place and it’s grown over the years. Low on stsff so they do the best they can but the food was sub par. If you stick to bar food…burgers etc… it’s ok but entrees left a lot to be desired. Still smell like garlic noodles two days later and three showers.

    Stone Brewing World Bistro & GardensResponded 5 days ago

    Thanks for coming by! Those Garlic Noodles are pretty heavy on the Garlic, I say the more the merrier, but I always have mints available. We're still staffing up, things should only get smoother from here!

    Two girlfriends celebrating both of our birthdays together! First off, even though they had just opened, they were out of ginger beer, essential to make a Moscow Mule. So we ordered their signature grapefruit cocktail. I was so disappointed! It was so sour I couldn’t drink it. I asked for some simple syrup to sweeten it up but the waiter just brought more grapefruit juice! The simple syrup? They didn’t have any.. which seemed odd as that was an ingredient in the drink! We then ordered wine which took 15 minutes to arrive, and we had already finished our meal. I’d give more allowance if they had been short staffed, but they had lots of servers.. too many perhaps! I think the problem is poor communication amongst the staff, and lack of desire to truly please the customer. I know it wasn’t intentional, but disappointing, since it was our birthdays and I’d made reservations ahead of time.

    Stone Brewing World Bistro & GardensResponded 6 days ago

    Thank you for the feedback and I apologize for the poor communication to start with. Our Cocktails are made in batches multiple times throughout the day, and we make the simple syrup when we're making the recipe, so unfortunately we don't have any on hand behind the bar. As for the wine taking 15 minutes that is unacceptable and it should take no more than 5 minutes from time of order before it hits your table, that long without a drink is a big problem and we'll look into why that happened.

    Thank you for the feedback Becky, and I apologize for the long waits, its definitely something we have been working on and is a top priority, 40 minutes is way too long to wait for food and it needs to be faster.

    Reasons to visit: Beer? Yes. Customer service & food? No. Look elsewhere. The staff managing registration told us we were, “not having it” because we decided to wait for a table that was away from the prime heat of the sun, even after we made reservations for seating. I’d say we’re pretty calm cats when it comes to customer service, but once we were seated there was a sense of retaliation in the air for something pretty small (us just asking and waiting for a seating area that wasn’t the hot bar that was in direct sunlight). Food felt intentionally over-salted, cups were visibly dirty with food chunks in it, and the tall glass to pour water was chipped and cracked from the rim. The gal checking up on us was awesome, but the experience outside of her was not okay. I truly do feel for people who work in this industry. Especially to those that are overwhelmed and stressed, but we’re the same as you! I feel for you, and I hope things get better, we are human after all! :) Would only recommend for low cost beer! PB&J tasted exactly as you’d expect, which was cool!!

    Food was delicious. Service was slow and sever kept making excuses that everything was the kitchen and bars fault and the drinks were warm when we got them since it took a while to get them out. The restaurant itself is beautiful and so peaceful. They had live music that day down in the garden area. That always makes up for any bad service.

    The food was delicious, lots of ingredients locally sourced, staff was friendly, restaurant both indoors and out feels like like an oasis from everyday life. Did I mention the flight of beer? Only drawback is that you have to order and pay through an app because they are still short staffed like many businesses are. The servers are friendly and attentive, but it's not quite the same. They're not there to check on you. We had to wave someone down just to get more water. Nobody's fault, just the time we're in. I look forward to going back next time we're passing through. Love, love, love!

    Thanks Holly, we're getting back to traditional service here at the end of the month, we're excited to get that personal touch back!

    Disappointed. Stone Brewery was The Beer to have during during the heady craft beer days of mid 2000s. Loved the Sublime Self Righteous. But it’s gone Disney. Just a tourist attraction now. Vibe at the Brewery was TGIF-like, literally enter thru the gift shop, selling craft beer as a brand. Too many different brews with minute changes, seems to get you buy different types. Still, Stone IPA is industry standard and good wherever. So, skip this corporate Disney brewery, pick up some Stone at BevMo and enjoy the beer, not the brand.

    Stone Brewing World Bistro & GardensResponded 6 days ago

    Hi Jay thank you for writing in and I apologize for the lack of variety that you're used to. We try to keep many styles of IPAs and of beers in general on so there is something for everyone. We actually recently did a special release of the Sublimely Self Righteous and we currently have on the Liberty Station 9th Anniversary Black IPA that is Whiskey blended and Double dry hopped, definitely worth a try!

    We were seated next to the bar where patrons lined up to get drinks. Unfortunately, we were a family of four with 2 small children. The host (or us) should have been a little more choosey about sitting us there. It was not a very pleasant spot to sit a family and there appeared to be a lot of other tables. Stone garden can definitely be a good place for a family lunch, just make sure you get seating distanced from the indoor/outdoor bar.

    Thank you for joining us Ryan, and I apologize we weren't more accommodating with the seating. We're staffing up so we can make things better and smoother for our guests going into summer!

    Our server said they are going to get back to real people serving and taking orders soon instead of scanning a code. I've had the fish tacos a couple of times now, this time they were a little dry. Atmosphere is always great. Even if it's chilly outside they have heaters. The the beer is good. Make a reservation even if it's a week night.

    Ambience was fantastic, however, while the new app based ordering system allows guests to order when they want, it doesn't enable guests to connect with servers and know if it's the servers or Stone that guests are tipping. The food was good but very rich. The dishes need some acid or sweetness to cut through the richness, especially the pretzel burger. Additionally, I noticed there were plenty of open tables and staff mentioned there was a two hour wait. It seems the long wait is due to short staffing not a full house. Keep in mind, you'll want a reservation if you'd like to sit and enjoy a meal instead of fighting for a bar seat. Overall, tasty food, great ambience. Service could be better.
