Jett's Grill

I made a birthday reservation at this restaurant a month in advance and received a confirmation text the day before my reservation. When I arrived with my party, we were told the restaurant had decided that day to close to give employees the day off. While I understand businesses sometimes need to close, what was extremely disappointing was that no one contacted me to cancel the reservation — even though they clearly had my information and had just confirmed it the day before. I hope the restaurant improves its communication so other customers don’t experience the same situation. If you are looking for an upscale, delicious dinner in Marfa there are so many fantastic options with a much better track record than Jett’s Grill seems to have.

Amazing patio with shade and live music on Friday is worth more than the minimum, but... Waitress took 30 minutes between visits, so you have to order WELL before you want something, we ended up going to the bar inside to order drinks (and previous order was sitting at ethe end if the bar waiting to go to the table), Manager said they'd check if they could make gravy without jalapenos, waitress said they could, but gravy was still served spicy, 2 steaks were both ordered medium-rare, one was served medium and the other rare, and after sending it back it came back still rare (pics & video are AFTER the steak was returned "cooked more"). Overall, the service wasn't good and the kitchen wasn't good, but it is a great atmosphere.

Paired with the historic Hotel Paisano, Jett's doesn't quite rise to the occasion. Striving for the refined rustic setting of the hotel, the restaurant's ambience feels more dated than decorative. The staff is friendly, but twice during our dinner the host interrupted our group's conversation with incidental small talk. The host also took photos of our table for the "night manager to see how busy we are". The host did this without asking for permission. Our server was more engaged than intrusive, friendly and helpful. The kitchen and bar were on the slow side, and unfortunately the food/drinks were not exceptional enough to offset the delays. Though remote, Marfa has an eclectic food scene, and there's better options that Jett's.

This restaurant is not upscale as it leads you to think. The bartender was on it! Good! The server was new, but trying. We changed our minds about ordering a steaks here. Went with the burger and it was good. The ambiance needs attention.

They were super nice and made me a vegetarian dinner of multiple vegetables and rice. I appreciate the extra effort to make something that I could enjoy. My husband also had a spicy margarita that he enjoyed. It was good and spicy, just how he likes it. They also have a tv if you want to watch sports.
