    Eat outside on the patio! This is THE place.  Ps...start out with a drink next door at the Dragon Room before dinner.
    Mike H.

    Trying a recommendation from a friend in the art business in SFE, and The Pink Adobe didn't disappoint. Service staff was on the ball for a Saturday night on the popular patio...busy, busy, busy! Ordering a bottle of Rosé, the wine steward knew the assignment...good knowledge and training! Our server asked the right questions and seemed very well-versed in menu items, descriptions and starter recommendations. I had a Beet Salad-wonderfully sweet, creamy and acidic. My companions had Shishitos Locos and Clams Lucifer---both excellent with spiciness and richness--to stimulate taste buds. For entrees, we had a Plato Mexicano with Carne Asada, an Enchilada Bar with Chicken Tinga, and I had a Jumbo Lump Crab Cake for my entree. All were presented well, cooked perfectly and full of flavor. To finish off the night, we selected the Raspberry Tres Leches Cake, Chocolate Lava Cake and a Cappuccino for the lady. All the finishers were rich, decadent and masterfully presented. We will be back...with friends...to perfect patio at The Pink Adobe!

    Won't return - I do NOT like lying. Location: 4 Ambience: 4 Food: 2 Service: 0 First, their front desk was un-manned at 5:09. A couple before us was waiting. We waited for a little while, I then went in to look for a hostess. Shortly a woman with a ponytail, and a man with eye glasses showed up to work. Don't believe the front desk hostess's claim that "that table is reserved". 5pm on a Tuesday, the out door section is empty (inside isn't packed either). When she sat us under the sun, I asked immediately that can we please have a table under the shade, like that one under the umbrella. "Oh that table is reserved." When I made reservation, I only indicated outdoor, not sure they've a place for the dinner to indicate exactly which table. Sitting under the sun is uncomfortable, so I got up and asked one more time, for a table before a lovely tile mosaic with tiny fountain. "Oh that table is reserved." When we about to leave, she offered the first table I pointed at. Shortly after, a couple was seated at the table before tile mosaic with tiny fountain. To be accurate, I did ask them if they've reserved this specific table. "No." Why would she lie: despise Irene which is totally ok, or Chinese or people of color (I've experienced this a few times prior...) which is... let's stop here. They use Riedel glasses, which is nice - seems everyone in Santa Fe uses Riedel. I've Frog's Leap Sauvignon Blanc - the vineyard we visited in 2015 - it's as usual, very good. Food - we've - duck: on the sweet side - Jetty Jack: like the crispy fried skin Both entries look chunky, large portion, homey, nothing 'fine' about it. They claim themselves as New Mexican, whichever that means, but I need to add salt and pepper to add some tastes for both entries. I grew up knowing, so did Joy Luck Club, (both book and movie) that adding soy sauce to a dish is the ultimate insult. I'll stop here. By the time we leave, the outdoor section is only 40% occupied. I did tell to the man with glasses who's at front also, that lying isn't cool.

    Excellent Fine dining in old Santa Fe. Ambiance, service and food were all impeccable. We had a great expensive from start to finish. Fernando waited on us and could not possibly have been better. We'd come back.

    Clams Lucifer
    Alex Z.

    we got a reservation in the outdoor seating which is nice with live band playing until around 8pm. but we were told that we can't order bar menu in the garden but if we sit at the bar table we can order food from bar menu and restaurant menu too. which is strange doesnt make sense they are literally 5 ft away in the same courtyard. The service was good, staffs are friendly but they seem overwhelmed by the amount of customers. sometimes slow in refilling water, but overall took really good care of us. The clam lucifer is such a surprised. no wonder it's award winning, it's a chowder that i had never tasted before, it's pretty spicy with a good amount of shell on clams in it. the baguettes are toasted perfectly with good flavor to dip in the chowder. for main i had the duck confit , which is basically a duck Enchiladas with red mole on top . it's flavorful but i wish i knew its presented as enchilada. There are some really good cocktails here too. 4-6pm Tuesday to Sunday are happy hour , 15% food discount and some wine and beer special price too.

    Homemade cornbread
    Lisa S.

    Food was incredible!! Service impeccable and ambiance was an upscale, authentic southwest. The homemade cornbread was mouthwatering. Serious self- control is needed to not eat 6 pieces and have no room left for any additional food. The elote was delicious and the cheese enchilada was devine. We were so pleasantly stuffed from the glorious food up to this point that we had no room to even split dessert. This is truly a gem in Santa Fe!

    Drinks

    Absolutely forgot to take food pictures because it was too yummy to not dive in! The drinks were also amazing, very well balanced and we love some Dos Hombres mezcal. The service was amazing and super quick. Always on top of our water and food. I ordered the lamb shank and it was so tender that it was falling off the bone. I can't have dairy and they accommodated my needs so well! The spot is a super cute small place with lush lighting. Will definitely be back to try more yummies!

    Plato Mexicano! Just awesome.
    Scott J.

    Been awhile since our last visit to The Pink Adobe Still a charming restaurant, well staffed and ready to tempt your senses. But not until 5pm....doors are locked until then. Menu has changed somewhat, still serving enchiladas, rellenos and carne asada but with a different Santa Fe/New Mexican flare...leaning more Mexico with Mole...kinda Everything was delicious. Plato Mexicano was terrific from start to finish Grilled Salmon And stuffed Relleno with Calabacitas were both great All were a "take" on Mexican food, definitely not expected Crab cake...yep delicious Pinion cornbread delivered warm with butter...loved it Pink Adobe is doing it right yet very different than the usual Santa Fe fare....all enjoyed Hours: 5-9. Parking: do your best Definitely cozy dining at its best with multiple kiva fireplaces going during winter months Doesn't get much better than this.

    Braised lamb

    Enchiladas were delicious, French chicken was great- more fried than baked. The braised lamb was sub-par. All desserts were excellent! Service was great.

I was greeted and seated as soon as I walked in and allowed to pick my own table. My server was nice and showed me how they handle the boils as it relates to prices and what comes with the boils. They have some premade combos or create your own. I created my own. The flavor options were limited to two and 3 spice levels. None of the boil bags came with boiled eggs as this was not an option on their menu at all. I was quite sad about that as most seafood boil places offer eggs. The lemons were not included but instead were a side option unless you wanted the small complimentary side of them. When the food was brought out, there was only one clear bag it was held in which caused the oil and sauce to later seep through the bag and get on my table. The crab leg clusters were plentiful as well as the muscles. I only wish you could get less than a pound of crab leg clusters and less than a pound of other options instead of being forced into picking a pound. All in all, not a bad place for this seafood boil connoisseur. It was a little more on the pricey side compared to what I would pay at other places.

Perfectly seasoned, crispy, and you get a generous portion, which makes the price feel like a steal. My husband's grilled catfish salad was huge and genuinely delicious, not an afterthought like it can be elsewhere. Sides were a bit mixed. The mac and cheese was overdone, but the red beans and rice were excellent, full of flavor and exactly what you want alongside that fish. Only real drawback is the hours. We found ourselves wishing they were open more often because it is the kind of place you want in regular rotation. Overall, great food, strong portions, and real value. We will absolutely be back.

    I love Cajun food normally but I'll be honest this really wasn't it…read more The gumbo had a weird pasty chalky taste. It wasn't like a soup how we are used to, it was sort of thick and slimy, the flavor was a little too different. 1 star dish to be honest. We threw it in the trash. The jambalaya was a little better, but it still wasn't great. It actually made it to like a 3.5 star quality dish; it was good enough to eat, so we ate this. The fried oysters were pretty good, especially when dipped in their spicy tartar sauce, 4 stars for this dish. I might actually crave this once in a blue moon. Their Mac and cheese had so much potential. It was thick and creamy how I like it, burned cheese on it was great, they attempted to put som cajun seasoning in it that you can barely taste, but the part that docked them points the most was the Mac was overcooked probably sat on a heat lamp for a very long time. The fries were soggy after only a 5 minute drive. They also use styrofoam, which I personally don't like eating from due to the forever chemicals that leach into the food when it's hot. Also after spending $40 and asking for an extra sauce I got charged a dollar. I mean okay I don't thin the side sauce was worth the dollar but also the sauce that came with it was only filled half way. I mentioned that am still I was charged the buck. The lady up front had an alright demeanor, the lady cooking in the back seemed really sweet and asked me how i found them, had a smile etc. I think they should have someone like that cashiering.
