    This place was all around fantastic. We got a quick reservation for four people and then expanded to 5 people with a toddler. They pushed some tables together for us, gave us quick service, and accommodated everyone. They even gave the toddler some drawing materials. Furthermore, the food was incredible. I got the lobster risotto and demolished all of it without question. Everyone’s dish was great. Highly recommend and I’ll definitely return when visiting Santa Fe.

    The Pink Adobe is FANTASTIC! I got the duck, I’ve never tried duck before but it was possibly the best thing I’ve ever eaten. Our waiter, Fernando, had amazing recommendations and really made the whole experience. Make sure to make a reservation, they will book up. I couldn’t recommend this place more!!!

    Outstanding from walking through the door until the last bite of dessert. Nice cozy waiting area by the fireplace to enjoy a drink until our table was ready, we were a little early and the table was ready before our drinks could be prepared. We had appetizers, salads,all versions of the steak and then desserts bread pudding and the crème brûlée. The seasoning and char on the steaks were fabulous. We enjoyed every bite!
