Think of the dining experience here as being akin to a party in a private home with 30 of your closest friends. The chef-owners welcome you to their open kitchen, where ingredients from their garden and a network of suppliers will determine what might appear on several weekly-changing prix-fixe menus. Expect simple ingredients, clean flavors, and creative presentation. You'll be able to choose from a comprehensive wine list (about 250 varieties) that represent the chefs' personal recommendations. Food allergies and dietary preferences are willingly accommodated with prior notice.

The urbane restaurant just off the lobby at Marfa's design-driven Hotel Saint George wouldn't feel out of place in Austin or Brooklyn, its softly illuminated brick walls hung with bold contemporary local art. The seasonal, market-inspired cuisine, from lighter wood-fired pizzas and cheese-charcuterie boards to more substantial plates of grass-fed bone-in rib eye and pappardelle pasta with garlic-fennel sausage, is accompanied by a well-curated wine list and first-rate cocktails. Earlier in the day, drop in for Belgian waffles, Cuban sandwiches, and other tasty breakfast and lunch fare. A few feet away, Bar Saint George offers a simpler menu and serves food and drinks later into the evening.
