Very nice ambiance in the dining room. Service was excellent. Food was good but pricey. Main courses were served in bowls. For their price point, my expectation was a little more. Menu selection was limited but we managed to get something for everyone in our party of four

Food was incredible. Full flavors that were complex and thoughtful. Beautiful decor that felt new and old all wrapped into one adobe house. Will definitely add this to the return list.

This was our visit to Stokes Adobe. This was one of the best meals I have ever had. The Cavatelli was unbelievable. My boyfriend had the steak and it was delicious. The whole dinner was a great experience, we will be back.

Outstanding experience. Beautiful space inside, multi-level and feels like a redone colonial home. Food was delicious- small menu so food was served quickly and hot. Brought our 3 year old and felt totally welcome there. 10/10.

Good service and lovely location let down by a very unusual menu of limited options and less than good food service. The Duck Liver Mouse appetiser was a chunky piece of toast with a thin scraping of Mousse. The Cavatelli with Italian Sausage was a rich green sauce which missed the Italian sausage- two of our party left it pretty much untouched. Great location, good service, a real shame…

This restaurant has a wonderfully friendly staff (thanks Shane) housed in a nice atmospheric adobe building. The bar is located in its own anteroom and serves up delicious cocktails and wine by the glass. The food is nicely crafted and very tasty. We particularly enjoyed the green salad with beemster cheese and the yellowtail crudo to start. There is a nice choice of entrees that will please most tastebuds. Definitely worth a visit.
