Restaurant guide

To all of our valued guests and friends...we will be closed for dinner in order to host a private event (a rehearsal dinner for a lovely young couple) on Friday March 22nd. We apologize to all who might have wanted to join us that evening but assure you that we will be open our usual hours the remainder of the weekend! Please do come and join us!

Our peppercorn crusted Niman Ranch 12 oz. ribeye from our special Valentine’s menu last night! A number of guests said it was the best steak they’ve ever had! Our team rocked it last night and our guests were a joy to serve, and thank you to Cesar Gomez for his beautiful guitar playing that set the mood!

One of our wonderful hand made entrees from last night... a lobster and crab ravioli! We have a few orders that we will be serving all weekend until we run out, also a beautiful Chilean Sea Bass! Treat yourself right and enjoy our beautiful outdoor decks with the music of Jim Mayer!

How about a coeur a la creme to top off a romantic dinner! Jess has gone overboard with her amazing Valentine’s desserts... come share the love!

Valentine’s prix fixe menu 2019... We’re super excited about our menu and hope that you and your special someone will join us for an evening of great food and wine and the pleasure of allowing us to spoil you! You deserve it!

...just had our annual Food Establishment inspection today, received another ‘A’!... Same ever since we opened! Thank you chef Tomas, our kitchen team and my wife Jess who keeps it all buttoned down all the time! We do try to do it right!

Chef Tomas has come up with a dish to warm and replenish you... a Cioppino of clams, mussels, scallops, mahi and shrimp over fettuccini! Pair that with a good Sauvignon Blanc and your weekend will suddenly feel like the start of all those good resolutions! Join us at Jobell, we’d love to spoil you!

Our new neon sign on Ranch Road 12...now it’s even easier to find great locally sourced and handcrafted cuisine in Wimberley! @ Jobell Cafe & Bistro

...pictured are some of the wonderful dishes from tonight’s prix fixe New Year’s menu! ... a filet mignon with a truffle oil risotto and a cherry and red wine reduction...a deep fried soft shell crab with home fries and a lemon butter...a duck l’orange with roasted fingerlings and sautéed kale and spinach... and a portobello Wellington with eggplant, zucchini and a red pepper coulis with a rice pilaf and one of two dazzling desserts by Jess; a white chocolate champagne cheesecake trifle! I want to thank my truly amazing wife and partner, Jess, our head chef Tomas Gaitan and our entire kitchen team for bringing yet another amazing culinary creation to life! I have been stung by some really overly personal negative online reviews recently, and despite the overwhelming number of great reviews we receive and the love and appreciation for what we are attempting here in Wimberley, I want to say we are here, we are trying every day to make the best dining experience that we can, and we will continue to strive, to improve, to be creative and not bound by anyone’s negativity. We are Jobell. Happy 2019 to all our lovely friends and neighbors and blessing to all, even those that see fit to try and bring us down. Love, David

Bird is the word!...Thanksgiving and Jobell 2018! ...we are going to be open our usual hours on the 22nd and in addition to serving our new menu we'll be serving a 3 course Thanksgiving dinner. Bring the family, avoid the dishes, and the shopping, and the cooking...we're here for you and want to treat you like a part of our extended Wimberley family! Lots for us all to be thankful for!

Tonight a jerk seasoned seared Ahi tuna over mixed greens and a Caribbean dressing to fight the chill... what are you waitin’ for?! Also the classical guitar of Cesar Gomez every Saturday evening! Come soothe your soul!

...come beat the July heat on our decks with a cool glass of wine, some wonderful, tasty treats from our smashing Summer menu all enjoyed under our newly installed misting system! High pressure mist cools the air and keeps flying critters away! Why stay locked in with the air conditioner when you can enjoy beautiful Hill Country atmosphere (and our cuisine) without the sweat!
