    We go to Montrio at least once a year. They did not disappoint again. The crab-cakes were excellent, as usual. The house salad was spectacular, both tasty and beautifully presented. The french onion soup was not too salty, like many restaurants. Both fish dishes, including an ice hunch of halibut, were perfectly cooked, moist and flavorful. Service was a problem last year, but no issues this time.

    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.
