Stokes Adobe Restaurant

"Named after a former owner with a checkered reputation, today this graceful historical residence wards off any hint of reproach with ample charm and warm hospitality. Beyond the accommodating service and handsome setting (which includes outdoor firepits ideal for enjoying well-made cocktails), diners here will be disarmed by the flavorful cooking that opts for substance over style.The small, ingredient-driven menu draws upon French and Italian elements, seen in hearty, satisfying dishes like the maltagliati pasta in prosciutto-parmesan broth, or duck confit with roasted apples and quince agrodolce. Comforting desserts, like an apple-pear crumble with vanilla ice cream, are a great excuse to linger—while sipping from a tempting array of after-dinner drinks." - Michelin Inspector

"Stokes Adobe is cozy and homey in the way that your chicest, most fabulous friend’s house is: floor-to-ceiling bay windows, an enormous bar, big leather booths, and a built-in bookshelf filled with books. The menu is short but thoughtful, with dishes that feel both pleasingly familiar and new, like the yellowtail crudo, layered over thick yogurt and topped with smoked trout roe, chili oil, black lime, satsuma mandarin supremes, and a shower of fresh dill. You can’t go wrong with the handmade pastas, especially the hand-rolled cavatelli tossed with kale pistou. End the night outside by one of the many stone-encased firepits with a bourbon and hachiya persimmon honey cocktail." - allison green, gabi moskowitz
