Had a very uncomfortable experience here…read more Two of my male friends had their IDs checked very quickly, primarily by verifying their dates of birth. When it was my turn, the employee subjected my ID to significantly more scrutiny. She rubbed the card, examined it closely, and even used a small table lamp to inspect it. She then asked me to state the address on my ID. I had recently moved and had just received a new ID, so I wasn't certain which address was printed on it. I explained that I had recently moved and had multiple addresses. She then told our group to leave. I understand that a bar has the right to thoroughly check IDs and refuse entry if they have concerns about an ID. My concern was the significant difference in how my ID was handled compared with my two male friends' IDs and how the situation was handled afterward. When we were leaving, the employee put her hands on my husband's shoulders and lightly pushed/shoved him toward the exit. I also felt that I was being physically moved out rather than simply being asked to leave. The entire interaction felt unnecessary and uncomfortable. I can't speak to the employee's intentions, but the difference in treatment was noticeable, and the physical contact while removing us from the establishment was particularly concerning. I hope management reviews what happened and ensures that customers are treated consistently and respectfully.

If you're an Amex Platinum cardholder looking to burn Resy credits in Monterey, this Mexican restaurant is worth a try -- but manage your expectations. We had a reservation and were seated right away, which was a plus. Started with chips and guac and a couple of drinks, then ordered the chicken enchiladas and the skirt steak and arugula salad, adding shrimp to the salad. The food was fine, the atmosphere was fine, the service was fine -- nothing memorable, nothing bad. The real issue is price. Adding shrimp to a salad cost about $15, and our total with tip came out to around $140 for two people. For that price point in Monterey, I expected more from the food and overall experience. Would I come back? Probably not at full price. But if you have the Amex Platinum and quarterly Resy dining credits to use, it softens the blow enough to make it worth trying once.

The pizza was also tasty, although it was way too salty for my taste, probably because of the cheeses they used. We also ordered a rice dish that came with an egg on top.

The staff seemed a little cold and didn't really check on our table to see if we needed anything. I wanted ketchup for my sandwich the entire time, but no one came by, so I ended up using the small amount of ketchup that came with the fries.

Stokes Adobe was a truly memorable culinary experience. Visiting for the first time, I was impressed by both the food and the rich history of the location. Originally a home, it has since changed hands many times--legend has it that a former owner was a doctor with a dark past. But let's focus on what really matters: the food, which was absolutely worth the visit. I ordered the Cavatelli, a beautifully crafted dish featuring handmade pasta, kale pistou, Italian sausage, Calabrian chili, Meyer lemon, and breadcrumbs. The lemon added just the right amount of brightness without being overpowering, and the vibrant green pesto sauce complemented the dish perfectly. The Italian sausage brought everything together for a well-balanced bite. I also tried the Tagliatelle Bolognese, made with handmade pasta, beef, pancetta, tomato, sofrito, and parmesan. While just as delicious, it's definitely a heavier option for dinner. For appetizers, I started with the Crispy Potatoes, fried fingerling potatoes topped with brown butter, chives, and a lemon truffle crema. The combination of crispy texture and rich crema made this dish a standout. I also sampled the Duck Liver Mousse Toast, which featured caramelized onion, chives, Luxardo cherry, and sherry vinegar. While not my personal favorite, those with a more adventurous palate would likely enjoy it. Dessert was a treat in itself. I tried the Affogato Captain + Stoker, made with espresso, vanilla gelato, caramel, and amaretti cookie crumble--an absolute delight for coffee lovers. I finished with the Dulce De Leche Beignets, served with whipped mascarpone, which were the perfect sweet ending to the meal. Stokes Adobe also offers a great selection of alcoholic beverages and soft drinks. The outdoor seating area, complete with a fireplace, makes for a cozy dining experience on colder nights. The servers were attentive and truly enhanced the experience. Street parking is available, making it convenient to visit. I'll definitely be returning to explore more of their menu! read more

I went here for a birthday dinner with my boyfriend and I had a fantastic time. It was very quiet and intimate and the food and service were amazing. Our waiter was very attentive without being overbearing. We started with the seared scallops which were delicious, they were cooked perfectly and the lemony sauce was perfect. For the main course we decided to split the bistecca alla fiorentina, but our waiter informed us that the chef was having a special tonight and replacing the normal porterhouse with an aged ribeye cause they were testing it to possibility add to the menu. It was one of the best stakes I have ever had, and the potatoes and broccolini were also phenomenal. I hope they add it to the menu so everyone can enjoy it! I feel very lucky that we happened to go on the night it was being served. Highly recommend! read more

This restaurant offers excellent food paired with an inviting atmosphere, making it a hidden gem in Monterey. Unlike many other establishments in the area, it stands out for both its appealing setting and high-quality cuisine, suggesting that the restaurant values the well-being of its kitchen staff.

On returning I found that wine is only sold by the full bottle and that there is a $35 corkage fee if you bring you own wine to get a bottle that has aged a bit instead of a wine bottled one to two years ago. It is now off our list for ourselves and for out of town guests. read more
