    Loved our dinner at Stokes Adobe. We sat in the library room and the ambiance was charming and cozy. The appetizers were great and the butternut squash soup was delicious. We had the bolognese, Chicken Milanese, and tagliolini…the Milanese was the showstopper. Also a shoutout to the handmade pappardelle ribbons, which were lovely. Top-notch service throughout.
