That was a blessing in disguise. This cute place is a bodega, deli, and wine shop. We ordered two oven-fired pizzas for takeout so we could hang out with our canine at the local dog park: + Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza (we requested the honey on the side in case my oldest didn't like it, but she did) + Chicken Pesto Pizza Total = $41.09 The pizza were cooked nicely. Not overdone. Took only about 12 minutes to be ready even at a busy time of the Sunday afternoon. They also sell dips and herb breads, sandwiches, salads, drinks, dog treats, candy, & merchandise. Some advance orders are necessary, but they also offer: Charcuterie boards, frozen bake-at-home pizzas, lasagnas, King Ranch casseroles, and cookies. Delivery is available. Great service. Easy parking. Indoor and outdoor dining. We're fans! RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 5 | Service: 5 | Ambiance: 4 | Price: 4

First off- the vibes/ ambience as the sun sets is unreal! I loved the views from the restaurant and really gave the Texas vibes we were looking for. Service was pleasant and timely which is always appreciated. I got a glass of wine and my husband got a beer. Food wise, I got the steak bites and absolutely loved them! So good. My husband got the Spicewood Philly and some wings. He enjoyed his food, as well. If you're in the area, I'd definitely suggest you stop by for a meal!

The pie crust was perfect - buttery and flaky. No dryness at all. And the filling was scrumptious. The coconut cookies were baked perfectly, with a slight crisp on the edges but thoroughly chewy. We were surprised to see so many highly rated food spots in a small town, but after driving through Alpine, we could see it's more than just a map dot. We will make time to visit Alpine next time we go to BBNP.

Tiny, colorful, clean inside and simple. But don't let that deter you. Freshly made sandwiches, soup of the day, hand pies, salads, cookies, and some novel extras. We got the tuna wrap, roast beef sandwich, pimento cheese w/chips and chocolate chip cookies. All very fresh and delicious, and exactly what we needed. Thought it might be the type of place where you sit and order. But it's a grab-and-go type of place. They have outdoor seating in case you're looking to eat there. The pimento cheese was amazing!

La Venture is one of my favorite restaurants in these United States. The atmosphere is gorgeous,…read morewith art lining the walls and beautiful booths and tables in an intimate setting. The waitstaff is terrific, from the friendly bartender (you can purchase almost the entire menu for 1/2 price at the bar!), to the professional waiters. The food choices are diverse and international. I love the dumplings and the bao; they transport you right to China. The glazed shrimp appetizer is to die for, and the pizza, best in Marfa. But the real piece de resistance is the steak, especially ribeye special. It's huge, and cooked just right (I love mine medium rare). Shout out to the ramen, unlike any you've ever had, and the wide variety of drink specials provide a number of whimsical choices that should please every taste bud. The chef here is terrific, as is the service. You can eat here 5 times and never have the same international fare. It's shocking in West Texas to discover a restaurant so accommodating, and the prices mean the entire family can enjoy the experience. Don't miss this incredible restaurant!

We started with the salad, which was a solid opener--fresh, generous portion, and overall enjoyable. Nothing that really stood out, but definitely not a miss. The pizza was... okay. You can tell it's fire oven cooked, which is usually a win, but ours came out a bit too toasty--borderline burnt on one side. It also wasn't cut properly, which made things a little awkward. Some slices weren't cut through at all (had to ask for a knife), and others were uneven--ranging from oversized wedges to tiny slivers. Service was a little scattered, but to be fair, we came in toward the end of the night and our server mentioned it had been a hectic evening. No real complaints there--just felt a bit rushed and disorganized. A couple of downsides: they close at 9:30, which isn't ideal if you're looking for a late-night bite or drink, and there's no room service--you have to head down to order. Overall, it's a convenient spot if you're staying at the hotel and need something easy, but it's not necessarily a destination meal. Convenient? Yes. Notable? Meh.
