Everything we had to eat was truly incredible…and we are spoiled little foodies! Scallops so good we had to order another plate. Pasta out of this world. Gorgeous setting. You could propose to someone here.

We are self proclaimed foodies and appreciate great food and service. Our experience at Stokes Adobe was outstanding! We started with the mushroom bisque and broccoli cheddar salad, both were delicious. The mushroom bisque was simple but packed with delicate mushroom flavor and the broccoli salad was crave worthy with its creamy, lemony dressing and generous amount of salty Parmesan and crispy bread crumbs on top.. so good! Then came the entrees, which included the most tender, juicy pork chop I've ever tasted and (drum roll please) the BOLOGNESE... omg... it was life changing!! Literally the most delicious pasta dish on the planet. We saved just enough room to enjoy the beignets for dessert and they were worth it. Light, airy, and tossed in cinnamon sugar... the perfect end to a 5 star meal! We cannot wait to return to Stokes Adobe.

Great ambience, the food was wonderful, the cocktails were spectacular. My husband asked if any entrees could be modified to be plant-based and the server produced a menu of vegan options, which, although not extensive, was a welcome surprise. We'll be back!

Love the room we were seated in. Fireplace (with fire!!), like a small library, very calm and conducive to conversation. Music a little weird. Excellent citrus salad, delicious pastas, great wine list.

Made dinner reservations for three to celebrate our granddaughters sweet 16th birthday. Such a welcoming atmosphere. Great drinks and service. Conner took good care of us upstairs. I enjoyed the Shaved Broccoli Salad and my husband ate every last bite of his pork chop. Our granddaughter ordered the Tagliatelle Bolognese and said it was as good as it was filling! I highly recommend this spot. And don’t go without ordering the bread service!!!! Yummmmm
