点评:My wife and I had the opportunity to spend some time in the charming small West Texas town of Marfa over the weekend. My mother's family is from the area(Ft. Davis) but I hadn't done much other than stop for gas in Marfa on my way to the Big Bend National Park over the years. What a surprise to discover Cochineal! The online reservation process was painless, although disappointing as we had waited to long to make a reservation for the prix fixe menu experience. We arrived promptly for our reservation, which was at the bar, and asked if there was any way to get on the prix fixe menu for tonight as well as sit at a table inside or outside. The staff was incredibly kind and asked for us to stand by for a few minutes. The chef was there and we had a wonderful conversation about the space, the building, the courtyard etc. Shortly after we were seated and from there, it was amazing. I wouldn't call my wife or I foodies but we enjoy good food and drink when we can. I would rate our experience at Cochineal well above many of locations we have visited around the western hemisphere. And the staff was amazing! Especially Chef Alexandra Gates, she spoke with us on several occasions during our time there and it was awesome. My wife and I will definitely be back.
翻译:周末,我和妻子有机会在德克萨斯州西部迷人的小镇马尔法度过一段时光。我母亲的家人来自该地区(戴维斯堡),但多年来,除了在前往大弯国家公园的途中在马尔法停下来加油外,我并没有做太多事情。发现 Cochineal 真是太意外了!在线预订过程很轻松,尽管令人失望,因为我们等了太久才预订了固定套餐菜单。我们准时到达了预订地点,预订地点在酒吧,我们询问是否有办法获得今晚的固定套餐菜单,以及坐在室内或室外的桌子。工作人员非常友好,要求我们等几分钟。厨师在那里,我们进行了一次关于空间、建筑、庭院等的精彩交谈。我们坐下后不久,那里的景色令人惊叹。我不会称我和妻子为美食家,但我们尽可能享受美食和美酒。我认为我们在 Cochineal 的体验远高于我们在西半球参观过的许多地方。员工也很棒!尤其是厨师 Alexandra Gates,在我们在那里的时候,她多次和我们交谈,这真是太棒了。我和妻子一定会再来的。
