The Pink Adobe has been a fixture in Santa Fe lore for many decades now, and understandably so. Its clientele has included heads of state and movie stars, whose pictures are hung on the walls of the entry foyer. Once inside the restaurant, which is a converted 300-year-old adobe residence (hence the name), the ambiance is created by candlelit tables and fireside chairs. The wine list is extensive, in contrast to the menu, which focuses on a few dishes that they do extremely well. The Steak Dunigan is their signature--a New York Strip topped with sauteed mushrooms and green chiles and served with a browned potato. Simply amazing. Appetizers include lobster cakes and cold artichokes, among others. Desserts are as amazing as the main courses--"The Pink" is famous for its apple pie.
This restaurant may be pricey, but it is well worth the cost for the food alone, not to mention the atmosphere and experience. The Pink Adobe's "Dragon Bar" has been voted one of the ten best bars in the country, and is a favorite hangout of locals and visitors alike.
