Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens - Escondido

Great location with easy access and parking. Beautiful interior seating, some with views of the brewery. Great outdoor seating too. Very friendly and helpful employees. Extensive beer selections, many made on site. The food selections were so good that it was difficult to select something. My wife ordered Stone Tangerine Express Hazy IPA and Blackened Salmon which she described as "buttery". I selected Stone Delicious Double IPA and Fish and Chips which is just right breaded. They also have beer that is fermented in a manner that breaks down and removes gluten, rendering gluten levels so significantly that the beer qualifies as a “gluten-reduced” ale per the FDA. We were given a taste, and want to try it the next time that we are in Escondido.

This is a beautiful brewery. While visiting my family in San Diego I had the pleasure of coming here with them. My family truly enjoyed their meal, as did I but I will say they have literally three gluten free items on the menu which feels sub par. I’m not a beer drinker so cannot say how much gf beer they may or may not have. But again to have such an awesome menus with such a small choice of GF is sad. (I was honestly surprised that most places in SD aren’t even up to par with GF options as MANY other cities) I did get their only GF taco option and was very pleased so I don’t want to not say something regarding the choice I made.

This should be a 4.8 out of 5. The service is excellent. The ambiance is charming. My only qualm is the limited amount of gluten-free options, but it's a brewing company: I cannot fault them for showcasing their specialty. It's just difficult to figure out what to eat. Thankfully, the server Jesus was super understanding and helpful. Totally worth the limited options. Also, the chocolate marquise cake is so good; 10/10 would recommend.
