He treats both staff and customers with respect and believes that a happy staff makes for a superior dining experience. Staff members are regularly included in tasting new menu items and wines, as are a core of regular customers, many of whom have been coming in two or three times a week for years. On more than one pleasant Carlsbad afternoon, I've enjoyed lunch on the terrace overlooking the 18th hole. A nice selection of wines is available by the glass. Perhaps the late afternoon is one of the nicest times to relax on the Argyle's terrace.
Children are welcome.
The Argyle provides them with a masterfully done educational coloring book on the flora and fauna of Batiquitos Lagoon and a special Four Seasons bib, if needed. The Argyle is available for special events such as baby showers, weddings and private parties, which can be scheduled in their library, on the terrace or even, for crowds of no more than 20, on the green. The Four Seasons Resort Aviara is at 7100 Four Seasons Point. Lynn Alley is a Carlsbad-based writer.
