Restaurant Cochineal Marfa Reviews
Hard pass! Every time I go there it continues to get worse
Hard pass! Every time I go there it continues to get worse and worse. Not sure why I even go back! The staff literally go out of their way to be rude and snotty.. Not a vibe. Rather go to DQ () across the street..
Terrible experience and awful service.
Waited over 25 mins to be greeted once sat at our table. Waiter in our section, kept serving tables around us but skipping ours. The hostess came over and said she would grab our drink order. We ordered drinks, a bottle of wine and bread. Another 15
AVOID zero stars.
Ignored and treated like we were invisible. Same sentiment from table next to us.
Was an amazing way to spend my birthday ! Thanks for the
Was an amazing way to spend my birthday ! Thanks for the delicious cupcake it was such a nice surprise!
SOOOOOO DISAPPOINTING 😞...
I am a well-traveled, well-educated, born/raised New Yorker I have had a very prestigious and privileged upbringing and I have eaten at the most reputable and upscale restaurants on the planet. This place tries waaaaaay toooooo hard to be a 5-star es
What a fabulous experience! My son and I arrived in Marfa
What a fabulous experience! My son and I arrived in Marfa at 9:30pm and were told all restaurants were closed. We found Cochineal and they said they would absolutely take care of of us. The food was outstanding and the staff was engaging and welcomin
Phenomenal!
We had the chef's menu and every course was outstanding - antelope tartar, gulf shrimp, quail, boar, bison...Chef Gates is amazing. Love the intimate setting and decor of this place. Worth every penny. We will be back!
Hidden Gem!
This is not the most obvious place in Marfa. In fact, it was a little hard to find (and considering the size of the town of Marfa, that might be hard to believe!) But, it’s well worth looking for! The food was ALL amazing….from the fresh bread
Visited here in March 2024 and thought I left a review.
We really enjoyed our meal. This is definitely on the higher end of offerings in terms of Marfa dining. I'm not certain why the lower reviews -- at worst our service may have been a tad slow but why do you also want to be rushed for dinner?? My
Service was horrible.
Multiple people looking around asking for their server. Food was mid.

We read reviews that the tasting menu could take a really long time, and some reviewers said it had improved. Unfortunately, our experience was it didn't improve. We asked the waitress, how long it would take and she said it would take 1.5 hou

Food was acceptable for what was charged, but the service was horrible. Robert would disappear for 10 minutes at a time. It was very strange. We were left without water and tea for so long I had to ask a girl wandering around for a refill. Then the c
Had an awful dining experience here with my wife and son.
The service was NOT good. It took 15 minutes for drinks to come out. The server was absolutely clueless. I will say that our salad was delicious but the portions for my main (spaetzle) and my son's main (scallopini) left us starving just 30 minu
Fine Dining in Rural West Texas
We celebrated my birthday at Cochineal during a week-long stay in Marfa. We'd intended to dine inside but given the serenity of the courtyard--in contrast to the thumping music in the dining room--we elected to dine al fresco. Based on reviews
Well, it looks nice
Reservations were made for us so I didn’t research Cochineal. Now that I’m reading the reviews, I can see I wouldn’t have bothered eating there July 4th. Cool looking place. And the young man who seated us was pleasant. The positives end th
Food was ok though not as good as I anticipated.
Indoor atmosphere was nice but the table spacing (or lack of) really ruins the dining experience. When we arrived at 6 pm, they sat us next to the other two occupied tables (a few other two-tops were available and same wait staff for all so not sure
Food terrific, service largely absent.
Really cool restaurant. Arrived at 6:30pm, little early. Servers were great, very welcoming. Will jump to conclusion…while every course of chefs menu was excellent…the inattentiveness and 20-30 minute intervals between courses was pretty extreme
Ate here last week and was hugely disappointed.
I received an invitation via email to rate my experience; expressed my disappointment and expected them to perhaps contact me about it. But since they haven't, I'll relate our experience here. Good news: the mezze plate was huge as amazing - easily
An Unexpected Experience
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 N
Grateful for the dining experience
The food was exceptional, and we are grateful for the dining experience at Marfa. The simple salad, the grilled trout, and more were well prepared. My partner had a meat dish and raved. But we mentioned that it took an inordinately long time for two
Fun tasting menu, pretty pricey for what it was.
Interesting assortment we wouldn't have ordered a la cart. Glad we tried. The escargot was great.
I will say first off that the food here was very good.
Besides my steak being too rare, everything they served was amazing. However, as another reviewer mentioned, we arrived on time for our reservation but were told to wait in an adjacent "gallery" area where we were ignored for 30 minutes unt

We will never go back to Cochineal.

Horrible horrible service avoid at all costs.

place is tiny with tables way too close.
wife and I felt like the tables next to us were part of our party. service was sketchy at best as was food. thn to top it off they added a 20% gratuity on a to top! I am a generous tipper when I receive good service but the amount of my tip should
Horrible experience.
What a disappointment!, we saw the reviews. Wife and I go try it out. First off you are packed in like a sardine as tables are literally on top of each other. Service was slow. Finally got our food and it was not good. To top it off waiter brings

One of the best places in Marfa to get fresh coffee and a bite to eat. The have local and freshly baked goods that are super clean ingredients! Overall, great chill vibe and has outdoor space if you are looking for some vitamin D.
I've been here before so my expectations were very high.
Again, Cochineal met the challenge. This is my favorite restaurant in Marfa. I could have eaten the bread all night long; the butter and oil accompaniments were very flavorful. The vegetable fritters balanced well with the aoli mustard sauce. The

Seek it out and watch the culinary experience unfold! Simple a gift!
Crazy great food- highly recommend. We ate at the bar and the bartender was an off the chart mixologist! We had the best 7 course meal - each item was amazing! Probably one of my top 10 top restaurants off all time! Music so fun… it was simple an
Amazing Experience
We enjoy fine dining, and Cochineal served up one of the best meals we've ever had. We did the prix fixe menu, and it was exceptional. They use local ingredients in an upscale way. Highlights were the mushroom croquettes, the tartare, the bread p

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Restaurant Cochineal Marfa at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Restaurant Cochineal Marfa page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Restaurant Cochineal Marfa to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Restaurant Cochineal Marfa!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
