    My family went for a much delayed mothers day dinner. My wife and I both had the pasta wheel. My son had the Alfredo. Everything was excellent from the wedding soup and salads to the sourdough bread to the mains through dessert. However the best part was Stokes! A highly knowledgeable entertaining and attentive server. He made a fine meal into an experience to remember

    We had a wonderful dinner! The mixed specialty drinks were delicious: Lemoncello Spritz and a Bluberry Sprtiz (forget the name of it)…so good. We shared a beet salad that was out of this world! My pasta bolognese was fabulous and my husbands Cabernera was delicious as well! Our waitress was very good and friendly! It was such an enjoyable night!
