A lot of reviewers of Reata comment that it is the best in Alpine (faint praise, possibly). But it would be a great restaurant no matter where it were located. The tortilla pasta was superb and unique and the various appetizers for our large group were all tasty. I had not eaten there in several years but the place is... more

While poor service seems to be an area-wide restaurant theme you will not experience that here; in fact, the wait staff is stellar, well-trained and accomodating. It is also one of the few places in the area with a full bar, if you want an alcoholic mixed drink with lunch or dinner. On the down-side, the wine list is pathetic,... more

The "nicest" restaurant in Alpine. Full bar, excellent service. We had a tamale appetizer that was somewhat disappointing...dry. The steak was terrific. The high end margaritas were unremarkable. They do offer discounts if you stay at various hotels but we were told by our service that the restaurant had discontinued our hotel's participation. When we told the manager at the... more

The Reata in Alpine is simply the best. The food is wonderful. While going to college there, my girlfriends and I would eat there atleast once a week for lunch. Now that I have moved away and have a family, I still love to go back there. It is a great place for girlfriends to meet for lunch, or a... more

Reata at Alpine is simply the best....period. I'd heard of it for years. Finally made it there this weekend. It was a 240 mile drive. We were staying at Ft. Davis, so we had to make it to Reata. It did not disappoint. I had there signature dish, the Carne Asada topped with Reata Cheese Enchiladas. Wife had the special,... more

Reata is good, but not great. I found this somewhat unexpected, considering the costs of the entrees ($15 - 40). The portions are huge - one chicken fried steak dinner could feed 4 people. The appetizers, including the salads, soups, and shrimp, were good. Wine list is short, and multiple wines were unavailable. My overall impression of Reata is quantity... more

Over the past few years, my husband and I have eaten here a few times. We used to love the bread and fireplaces, mostly. Our last visit was little disappointing, though It was too hot for a fire and the bread was not as good as we remember. One thing we DID NOT remember were the HIGH prices. The food... more

This restaurant is overrated and the prices are outrageous. My husband and I ate here while we were in Alpine, after a friend recommended it to us. The food was awful and definitely not worth the high prices. more

This is probably the only fine dining restaurant in Alpine. It's pretty good, we often go here for dinner. Great steaks, burritos and calf fries! more
