This Stokes Adobe was a wonderful way to celebrate my friend's 60th birthday. The waiting staff was accommodating and attentive. Our waitress, Concetta, was knowledgable about the drinks and menu. Concetta made sure we were well taken care of. The drinks were innovating and wonderful. The appetizer, main entrees, and desserts were outstanding. Thank you to the Stokes Adobe for a memorable dining experience.

Excellent meal. Our first time here and won’t be the last. We’ve recently moved into the area. We’ve been unimpressed with most of the local restaurants. Their food was ok but nothing above average. We’ve been trying different restaurants. What a plenty surprise to find Adorable French bakery and bistro. Food was well prepared. Ample tasty portions. Duck confit and eggplant tart melted in your mouth. Delicious apple tart dessert. First time in a long time where we had espresso which wasn’t bitter. Very pleasant and entertaining conversation with the individual who seemed to function as a one man show…manager/ Barman/ waiter. A little disappointed that some menu items were not available but what we ordered proved that we missed nothing.
