The food is surprisingly good for bar food and the diet coke is diet coke. Bartenders are pretty cool and remember your order after a couple times. There's always something going on there, lots of live music, chess club, various meetups. It's a cool old restored hotel with a dog friendly patio and friendly people. Somehow there's always an old man in a cowboy hat standing around the porch outside welcoming you in. I approve.

The pancakes had crispy griddle edges and were light and fluffy, the bacon was thick and cooked perfectly, and the biscuits were flaky and buttery. It was a little overpriced, but considering the limited options and remote location it was probably fair market for the area. The staff were great - they were short staffed due to the holiday week (Thanksgiving) but were helpful with requests and quite friendly. The mural in the dining room told an excellent history of Fort Davis, and the view through the big windows made for a gorgeous experience. The ambiance is truly next level!

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.

The Blues couldn't pull up the transaction, no idea why? I guess she felt it was okay to leave herself a HUGE $100 tip. When confronted about the situation, she just tried to kick him out of the bar. I've heard from so many people of this behavior from her when she worked at the Crystal Bar and I find it very sad and unfortunate it's continuing at a different bar in town. It's a small community we live in, this kind of shit isn't okay. So, if she's working, I recommend people look at their receipts when closing out, don't leave your card, and just be aware. Theft is illegal.

At least stop by for an Instagram-worthy photo of their orange-painted Marfa mural. Free street parking all around.
