Stadium (Encinitas): Review #2

LOVE the Stadium in Encinitas. Went with CH and ST tonight after trying it a few months ago.

All the plusses:
--kids' play room

--monitors at your table to see your child in the playroom so you can relax (we didn't even know about this kind of table last time, so one of us had always been left alone at the table while the other watched him; this was way better)

--surprisingly great food for a sports bar/burger place. I enjoyed seared ahi sliders with sweet potato french fries; ST had standard m&c that also came with fresh carrot and celery sticks and tater tots; CH had a chicken teriyaki bowl he liked (he decided to give the Stadium another try tonight and order something different even though he had a tummyache last time - hopefully it was a one time thing and he'll be fine tonight).

--great selection of beer on tap (I hardly drank any but enjoyed some tastes of the Stadium Honey beer)

--super-friendly servers: all the young women and men who work there are very nice and family-friendly

--hip-ish atmosphere and comfy seating. I'm not even into the big screens b/c I don't need to watch the game, but it lends the place a buzzy atmosphere.

Looking forward to going again. Super toddler-friendly and mom- and dad-friendly place (it almost felt like a date while we were sitting on our own, chatting, while watching him on the monitor playing hide and seek with the camera :)).
