| - I finally made it into Stoke!
The ambiance was a great place for a girls night out. The restaurant wasn't too loud so we could chat and hear each other perfectly, the decor was clean and open with a trendy vibe, the seating was very comfortable and great for large groups.
Our waitress was attentive and honest - especially when we were selecting our cocktails. She talked through the flavors and gave suggestions. They were all delicious (especially the mojito).
The food can be shared or single meals. We had the octopus, short ribs, potatoes, peppers, and deviled eggs to share. I can't say that the main food blew my mind or was something I'll come back for, but it was good. I was comparing it to Good Food on Montford since the prices are similar, but the textures just aren't quite there. That being said, the potatoes were surprisingly good - crispy, easy to share, great sauce, well seasoned.
Why we came: for the one pound, made-to-order donut. It was SO worth every last calorie. If I had just had cocktails and this donut, my review would be 5+ stars! The donut is a warm sugar donut with cream on top. It was easy to share and was so much fun. I love that you can add as much cream to your bite as you want (rather than it being hidden inside). Yum!
