Pink Adobe Review

Rosalea Murphy opened this restaurant in 1944, and the place still reflects a time when fewer than 20,000 people lived here. The intimate, rambling rooms of this late-17th-century house have fireplaces and artwork and are filled with conversation made over special-occasion meals. The ambience of the restaurant, rather than the mediocre food and spotty service, accounts for its popularity. The steak Dunigan, smothered in green chile sauce and mushrooms, the lobster, crab, and shrimp enchiladas in green chile lobster bisque, and the Southern fried chicken are among the eclectic dishes served. The apple pie drenched in rum sauce is a favorite. Excellent, top-shelf margaritas are mixed in the adjacent Dragon Room bar.
