Station Tavern (South Park)

Was very psyched to try Station Tavern. Artisan burgers! Beer! Sandbox for the kids! Thought it was the most brilliant concept ever...was practically ready to invest in it. Had a playdate with MuseumGirl and her clan tonight...thought we would drink and the kids would play. Would be the best place ever!

RESULT: Meh.....

Service: Friendly but overwhelmed, so not very efficient. Did a lot of service ourselves (got our own napkins, changed out our own ketchup bottles, etc etc).

Atmosphere: Tons of pebbles everywhere. I suppose this is fun for the kids but TruckBoy didn't really want to go in the designated "sandbox" and instead wanted to dig/throw rocks near the table. He was a little overwhelmed by all the kids and was being clingy instead. I left covered with dust. Plus it was unexpectedly freezing on the patio and we needed to send ABW to an overpriced organic cotton shop to buy us sweatshirts.

Oh and the Food? It was ok, but nothing cravable. Liked the chickpea veggie burger. Sweet potato fries: ok. Tater tots: ok. Salad: ok. Beers were tasty.

No need to go again...oh well!
