Ohhhhhh boy. This place was a DREAM - from the charming Marfa-like decor to the unbelievably unique selection of food to the plating designs. Not to mention, my bestie and I were blown away with the incredibly personable service by Kasey with a "K" ;) and the overall epic ambiance.LOOK at the pics I attached, and tell me that doesn't look beautiful and delish? We got the pickled appetizer, the sardines, the shrimp and beans, and the homemade vanilla ice cream (which was my personal favorite - I've never tasted such a unique flavor in my LIFE).Please don't think twice about going here - every bite was divine, and I would go back there 4 nights in a row over all the other restaurants in Marfa if we knew how good the experience would've been from the very beginning of our trip! :)

My husband and I went here for a casual afternoon lunch. And it turns out this place was suuuuper casual. There was basically one guy at a grill making street tacos, and another guy bartending inside. We ordered the tacos, and they were amazing! We also had a couple cocktails which were good. This place was so chill. I felt like I was hanging out in a nice backyard. I'd definitely go there again. It's a perfect lunch spot for a quiet, relaxing weekend.

To be honest, when my friend and I sat down at Capri the first night we were in town, we took one look at the slightly pretentious food menu (a small piece of cardstock, compared to the giant bar menu on a sheet of 8.5x11" paper) and at the people around us eating off of wooden slabs, and we left. We were not in that kind of mood after driving 6+ hours, and while I felt bad about it, we were able to make it to Capri a different night of our trip, and absolutely enjoyed our experience there.For one, the service was lovely. We were seated immediately without a reservation, our waiter was attentive and very polite, and the food was out quickly. Secondly, the ambiance is also lovely: the newness (built in 2014, I think?) really shows here, with the modern building, tall ceilings, wall of windows, gilded bar. And most importantly, the food was delicious. I had the duck confit with lentils and it was the perfect amount of food. While the menu isn't that great for vegetarians, the kitchen was very helpful with identifying potential food allergies for our party and recommended compliant dishes. I just think you really have to be in the mood for a place like this.

Really enjoyed everything about this place despite the less than attentive server. We weren't in any hurry so it didn't inhibit the experience much.Got a wonderful cheese plate and hibiscus margarita that was amazing! My girlfriend says the duck dish with huitlacoche was one of the most interesting and delicious things she's ever tasted. We loved the eclectic choices and wish we were able to dine here more often! Beautiful place and menu.

Marfa gets fancy! I'm going to give them 5 stars because of my experience and the location. My morning started out with a 6 hour hike up and down Guadalupe Peak, followed by a 2.5 hour drive to Marfa, then a fiasco checking into my motel. Once all that was straight, we planned to go to Pizza Foundation because we were dirty, sweaty, hungry bums but they were closed for Easter break. We drove down 90 and didn't see much open but Capri seemed to be poppin. We walked in and felt a little out of place as everyone was dressed pretty decent. We asked to be seated outside and they gave us one of the picnic tables located on their awesome patio. The waiter brought us a menu that at 1st glance was a little fru-fru bordering on pretentious. The waiter then brought us a basket of complimentary bread with strange flowery tasting olive oil. The menu was hard to read as it had several words in Spanish and even the English words I had to Google. We started off with drinks. My lady friend got a Hibiscus Margarita which was dark purple in color, not sweet at all and just slightly bitter. I got a Germaine which was a Bourbon cocktail with citrus juices. Tarty goodness. The lady friend and I split an entrée which ended up being half a smoky chicken with a spicy ragu on the side to dip in. It came with a garlic potato hash cake that was delicious! I could have eaten 4-5 of these alone. The real star of the meal was the dessert. We got a mesquite vanilla bean sorbet. It tasted as it sounds and may have been the best ice cream I have ever had. It doesn't sound like those flavors go together but they do!!!Thanks Capri for being a cool place that was actually open who allowed 4 people who probably smelled as if they had slept under an overpass for 3 weeks and sorry to the peeps who may have sat at the table behind us.

Tasted a little bit of a handful of items on the menu. Drinks seemed pretty good (although I only had a sip of friends') and I liked the outdoor atmosphere and seating. Come for drinks and sitting around with your friends but don't count on this as a dinner spot. The food took very long to come out though and the bartender didn't seem very service oriented. Apparently "that's the way it is" in Marfa but it doesn't make it acceptable especially if you expect to be a tourist spot. We had to pay for our food upfront by giving the card first which was weird especially since my friends said to keep the tab open since we weren't sure if we were done ordering yet. Also flies in the indoor bar area which were annoying. When you first show up - literally no one greets you and there are no signs on where to be seated or anything, I guess you just sit at the bar and wait and hope they come up to you. If you sat outside, I'm not sure how that even works. Breads came with great olive oil but the bread was just average. Pricey for what it is . Shrimp Chicharronnes are like shrimp chips basically, they did not taste bad but are overpriced.Grilled Avocado was exactly what it sounds like - goes good with the bread Beef Carpaccio - tasted good Yucca Blossom Tempura - good but I expected more of it for the price paid Duck Confit - good Moscovy duck breast - good taste but a little chewy and seemed too fatty.

Went to Marfa for a bachelorette party. You never know what to expect with a small town and I set my expectations low, but I was pleasantly surprised with Capri Lounge. We stayed at the Thunderbird, arrived to town absolutely STARVING and was super grateful this place was open. The two servers were initially a little unprepared (no pen and paper between the two of them), but were on top of everything the remainder of the time and constantly checked up on us.We ordered almost everything off the menu but my personal favorites were:- Guacamole (more tostones necessary or a bunch of tortilla chips)- Roast chicken and potatoes (potatoes might slightly edge out the chicken ;)- Prosciutto and another slightly spicy meat from the charcuterie board There was a nice ambiance both inside and out. The garden was really cute! All the food was nicely plated/presented. I had a cocktail and while it was good, I regretted not getting Blanton's. I stopped by the following evening for a nightcap, but they were closing. :(

I loved loved loved the decor and ambiance of this place!! The drinks were good! I had the spicy chihuahua and my friend got the Mexican old fashioned. We shared the ancho relleno which was delicious! It had a delicious mix and turkey and beans inside topped with a melted slice of cheese and on a bed of mole sauce. It was pretty good! It's a cute upscale restaurant in a small town.

This is a special place with exceptional food, atmosphere, and service. While reservations are a good idea at many upscale restaurants in this area, Capri does not appear to take reservations, and instead greeted us warmly and found a table for our party. I could not resist the elegant but easy design of the dining room and bar (see pic). Our server was friendly and informative without being intrusive. We started with hibiscus margaritas that were served, like the water, in a charming pair of hand-etched glasses. (Presentation was lovely across the board. See more pics.) The white anchovies were delicious, although the olive and spicy pepper served with them weren't my favorite. The marinated watermelon radishes were served to look like a giant bloom, and had a wonderful flavor. Neither of these was a very filling item, of course, so we also had the tempura yucca blossoms, which was my favorite item. They were served in a cone made from the Capri menu with a dipping sauce. I cannot recommend them more highly. We also had the chapulines tacos, which were nice with a very strong smokey flavor. Chocolate ice cream was served with small wooden spoons and Vietnamese cinnamon, and was the perfect finish. Afterward, we wandered around in the garden outside. We sat down at one of the fire pits, and a friendly man (maybe an owner or manager?) came up and offered to take our group's picture (we had a camera out) and added some kindling to the fire. The garden also has hammocks, a water fixture, and an assortment of flora. After the perfect tasting meal and cocktails, we enjoyed sitting and talking in the outdoor space. My friend and I were in town on vacation during the week, so I don't know what the weekend scene would be like at Capri. Dinner here was a standout to a fantastic trip, and I hope I have the chance to return someday.

The most ridiculous priced drinks in Texas. Not long ago this place was great & probably because the drinks were half the price they are now. Don't fall for this nonsense $14-$20 a drink is hot garbage. Marfa thinks it's a resort, but it lacks the ocean & everything else that comes with cool places to be.
