Stokes Adobe Restaurant 500 Hartnell Street, Monterey, CA 93940

"Solid food, overall romantic, & nice staff. I tried looking for the perfect place for our anniversary. There are just so many to choose from in the Monterey/Pacific Grove/Carmel area. I settled with this one because it had the highest ratings, some history, & was consistently suggested by others online. We were satisfied with our choice. We started with the crispy potatoes. The flavour wasn’t over powerful & the sauce/cream it came with was perfect with it. I got the Wagyu steak. I wasnt extremely hungry & always wanted to try austrailian wagyu, so i was okay with a 7 oz steak. It was. Ore chewy than I thought it would be for a medium rare, but I understand why its only 7 oz. It was rich with flavour & I was satisfied with the amount I had. My wife got the mushroom pizza which was also really good. The dough was perfect & the asparagus topping was surprisingly good. Staff were all professional & actually read the notes we put in our online reservation because they all constantly said “happy anniversary” to us. That was a cool touch. Im glad we went here, maybe we’ll be back some day"

"Excellent dinner, we had the yellowtail crudo apetizer and halibut, pappardelle bolognese. All were delicious. Excellent service, she brought a slice of bread, no charge. We had the lemon cake with berries!!!"

"Been twice, once for cocktails and snacks at the bar, once for dinner. Food is all around excellent. Very tasty, well presented. And, the chocolate budino is one of those rare desserts that I actually am looking forward to eating a 3rd time."

"Every time we go to Stokes Adobe, we are blown away. They have such great food, service, and location. The caviar halos melt in your mouth, the duck confit and roasted chicken were amazing, and we got the rich, smooth chocolate budino for dessert. I highly recommend this venue if you're looking to have a memorable evening. Also, this restaurant is dog and kid friendly, which is always a plus for my family."

"One of my favorite places in Monterey! I enjoyed their delicious food, beautiful interior, and friendly service. I went there to celebrate my anniversary with my 3-year-old son. We were seated in a cozy booth seat. I was happy that my little one was also welcomed in such a quiet and beautiful place. We even received complimentary sparkling wine. I will definitely go there again if we have a special occasion someday in the near future!"
