- RBRoBoVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •22 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoFood was imaginative, of excellent quality and professionally served. Strangely, staff was inclined to remove plates before everyone had finished, and seems surprised when asked otherwise. Noise level was a bit high, hampering conversation. On balance, however, the experience was as good as it was in the past, and we will certainly return.More infoStokes Adobe RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Californian• Monterey•4.7
- AAndreaCalifornia Central Coast •5 reviews5.0Dined on 24 Aug 2024I didn’t realize that it’s actually within the Doubletree hotel if that’s the hotel at the Prune Yard. No one was there. According to two servers, they didn’t have our reservation or at least there wasn’t a manager to confirm. We were the only customers until later in the evening. They looked like hotel customers were coming in, sitting at the bar and the outside fire pit so we had the servers to ourselves. They were very personable, helpful & friendly. The food was excellent and the prices were reasonable. I was with three other people. We had a really nice time and it was for my birthday last month, but getting together with friends to celebrate.More infoPY Kitchen + Wine GardenPrice: Moderate• Latin American• Campbell•4.2
