Our second visit to Stoke was similar to the first - mediocre service and hits and misses on the food. Both visits, friendly service, but inattentive and WAY unprofessional. Our server tonight was too busy sharing her experience of whatever to inquire why I hadn't eaten much of my dinner (it was TOO salty!). Both visits I got the avocado toast, both times the avocado had too many brown spots. Ordered the shrimp and clams, the broth was so salty, I sent it back and ordered a salad which came around when all of my dining companions had finished their meals. We love the chef, he used to cook at The Asbury, although we have not seen him at the restaurant. If the chef or the manager were overseeing the restaurant, these issues would not have happened twice.
