LaVenture

“Best dinner yet here in Marfa. Really recommend LaVenture. Great Crispy, Crunchy Chicken Schnitzel. Wonderful savory Ramen. Marfa Tomato salad sweet and flavorful. Mushroom dumplings were great. The Berry cobbler and Creme brulee were excellent. Will come back here every trip!”

“LaVenture is back with a new chef and amazing food! We had the shrimp appetizer, the wood oven cheese bread, the lobster ravioli and the meatballs. Some of the items are the same, some the same with a twist, and some completely new. The shrimp appetizer is pretty much the same with a different breading. Still amazing. The ravioli, though! Normally, when you order lobster ravioli, you get a hint of lobster inside some cheese, surrounded by too-thick pasta. This was AMAZING! This was nothing but lobster inside house-made ravioli, served with lemon butter and roasted summer squash. It's a must-have.”

“Ordered the Italian sausage/broccolini wood fired pizza and local tomato salad. The pizza was good, but would have been perfect with a house-made, hot honey drizzle. It needed a bit of a punchy spice addition. The tomato salad was perfectly balanced with fresh dill, torn mint, olive oil, sea salt and breadcrumb. The Chihuahuan sunset (prickly pear, tequila, lime) was tart and refreshing. Not overly sweet for a variation on the margarita.”

“Worst meal we had in Marfa. And that’s saying something because we had Angel’s for lunch. 3 words to describe it? Overpriced, over-hyped, over-cooked. We ordered the Ahi and got an overdone tuna steak, paid $15 for a plate of chopped tomatoes with wilted herbs. We took two bites and went to Dairy Queen to actually eat. Don’t recommend and won’t be trying it again.”

“This was one of the worst experiences I have had at a restaurant in awhile. We got there right when they opened and.were seated rigjt away. Thr restaurant only had a couple of tables at this time. The waitress came to take our order and while I ordered my drink, my family was still looking at the menu. The waitress asked so you need more time, then asked "are you going to get food?" Weird question to ask when they literally just got there. It took about 15-20 minutes for my drink. She finally comes with my drink and then to take our order. My family ordered their drinks and when we went to order our food, the first thing we order shes like oh we are out of that. Considering we have been waiting about 30 minutes to order at this time, I feel like we should've been told this already. Well, 3 of us were ordering the same thing so we had to quickly figure out what else to order. So the server leaves, and we wait for the rest of the drinks which we finally get 35ish minutes later. This whole time the waitress never checked on us. We see her again when she brings the food. And then shes gone. Now the table behind us who came in after us, she was at their table a lot. She was rubbing the child's head so I assume she knew them, but the amount of service they got compared to us was ridiculous. In total, we were at this restaurant for 2 hrs. I can not tell you the last time I've been at a restaurant for 2 hrs. Way to long! Honestly will never eat here again. Oh, and my parents $40 steak wasn't even good. The was grey and mid, not worth $40. The pizza was the only good thing about this entire experience.”
