It has since closed. I ate there once or twice a year. It was a creative menu. Well prepared and fine service. Just seemed lightly out of date. read more

This place is a great find in the Wimberley area. It's cute outside with the trees, the ponds and the night lights, cute inside, and the food is excellent. We had a wonderful mussel appetizer with a creamy wine sauce. Then I followed with a great bavette steak diane, perfectly cooked and with a really great sauce, accompanied by succulent carrots from the garden and some fries. At $34, that steak was actually very fairly priced for the quality, as long as you know what to expect for bavette (on the stronger beef side, not the most tender cut, but still very enjoyable when cooked medium rare). My wife and daughter both got the chilean seabass and it appeared that they were quite pleased with it. It looked very flaky and buttery, like that type of fish is supposed to be. Finally, we shared an also delicious peach cobbler, with a unique ginger ice cream topping. Really classy food, well done! All that in a cozy room, with excellent and attentive service. read more

We came for brunch and wanted to sit outside, but it was unavailable at the time. Service was pretty slow, but food and coffee was good! I suggest getting a reservation for the patio for an optimal experience read more

I had high hopes...let me start with this: Restaurant owners, can we teach our staff to remove the word "just" from their vocabulary? Stop with the "Just one?" Like solo diners are not good enough! She didn't ask if I wanted in or out and just seated me, immediately asking what I wanted to drink. My bum hadn't even touched the seat yet. I asked for more time and started to peruse the menu. I ordered the soup, 1/2 sandwich combo. Let me start with that the soup was tasty AF. Dang that jalapeño tomato soup was bomb. It was a very very small cup though, not sure it even measured 8 oz. The 1/2 grilled cheese with tomato and avocado was so so sad. Barely melted and just no flavor. Meanwhile the moment I put my napkin down, here comes my waitress asking if I was ready for the check. Mind you I still had more than 1/2 of my $13 glass of wine to finish. This was not an experience, this was a bomb ass soup in a fast food environment, not at all what I had hoped for. I left hungry and sad Ambience was good, would have preferred outside seating PS the soup moved this up to 2 stars read more

Jobell exceeded our expectations! The food was great. Everything was seasoned nicely. The presentation was pleasant and everything came out fresh. The restaurant had an eclectic comfortable feel. Set back off the road in the trees with a gravel parking lot. Loved it for our date night. Service could be more attentive, our drinks sat empty on multiple occasions for a restaurant that was not at capacity. Everything is priced very well for the quality. Overall, we would recommend and would return on our next trip! read more

A lovely intimate spot. It's tucked away with a rocky parking lot, so be prepared for that. There's a small water feature in front that really sets the tone. The vibe is elegant but cozy with cleanliness and lowlighting all over the place. Service is friendly, it was great for us because the restaurant was practically empty when we went. All that being said, the food is just fine. It was actually disappointing to come here after the delicious food we had previously. I got the acorn squash and it could have had more seasoning. Any bite I took without the cheese on top was incredibly bland. There aren't many vegetarian/vegan options so I'd skip this place if you have either of those restrictions. I wouldn't come back, but I get the appeal. They say get a reservation, and it wouldn't hurt, but also stop in if you're around and if the lot isn't full, go on a give it a try. read more

This place is amazing! Service and food were the best ever! The lovely scene around the entrance is very inviting. I will be very sad to see you leave when i have only just found you! read more

Wonderful brunch discovery... generous portions, chill vibes, and fantastic crepes (savory and sweet). chicken & waffles were A+! lots of veggies and whole grains on the menu as well, if you're looking to keep it healthy. tons of parking, no drama, good coffee read more

It's good. Nothing on the menu is spectacular or unique. Service was a bit slow - only two other tables were occupied while we dined. The ambiance is nice for a relaxing meal. Server was nice and prices were great. read more

I LOVE JOBELL!!! My boyfriend brought me here for my birthday with my best friend, and oh my goodness the food is amazing! The seating is very cute, the outdoor area is beautiful, highly exceeded my expectations! The staff was knowledgeable and prompt, food came up quickly, drinks were good, and overall everything was good! I can't wait to come back here and get wine and try the charcuterie board, and all of the other things on their menu! So glad we found this little gem, it will definitely be a date night spot and a quiet hang out for a couple of close friends! Make sure to make a reservation so that you can get in on the weekends if that's when you're planning to go, they fill up fast because they are so awesome! P.S. They're garlic truffle mashed potatoes are to DIE FOR!!!! read more

I can't believe this place closed. We are coming back for an anniversary trip and I was looking forward to eating here again. Chef and staff were so pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable. Food was excellent. Beautiful interior and design. Hope they are doing well in their next chapter. read more

Wow. What a hidden gem. My husband and I went here for my birthday and were blown away. The charcuterie board pleasantly surprised us, given the more than reasonable pricing. It was one of the best boards I've ever had - you can tell they really care about quality. The server was quick and relaxed, which aligns with the atmosphere of Jobell. Our main courses were duck and steak... WOW! So, so good. I couldn't imagine a better birthday dinner. If you're debating on places to go near Wimberley, go here! read more

Food was outstanding. I've never tasted better Onion Soup. The Duck and the reduction sauce was really special also. The service is a little spotty but they try and have probably received very little training. The prices they charge are extremely high, possibly a white tablecloth would have been nice. This out of the way restaurant has fantastic food. read more

Super place to eat. A cute quiet small location nestle among the trees. We had dinner there while in Wimberly for a family reunion. The staff was very friendly and accommodating(since we did not have a reservation). The food was spectacular. I had the Jobell salad and the sea bass. Very good. We all shared the fried Brie and it too was wonderful. We enjoyed our meal so much we went back Sunday for brunch. If you are ever in Wimberly and have the time, I nightly suggest you stop it. I don't think you will be disappointed. I know, when I'm back near the area, I will be eating at Jobell's again. read more

What a pleasant last minute find. We've been in Wimberley for a long weekend and while there are a few amazing spots to eat, there are only a few and we've hit them already. On this particular night, it was Sunday at 7:45 pm and we were finding that not many places were open and if they were, they closed at 8. After expanding our search outside the city center, this little gem caught our eye and proved to be the EXACT match for our expectations. It is our 19th anniversary and this place is not only romantic, but it is cozy, has impeccable service and high quality cuisine. Our server, Haley, went above and beyond to ensure we got everything we wanted. We started w a bottle of wine (after tasting a few). The next course was clams and muscles, which were over-the-top delicious. We considered trying a few other apps, but decided instead on 2 mains. Scott got the LAST Sheppard's pie because that's just not something you can fInd everywhere and on this chilly winter night, we couldn't resist. It was rich with lamb, peas, and mashed potatoes, topped with a puff pastry. Only recommendation here is that there was more lamb and less potatoes. Several guests that arrived after us wanted to order the pie, but we had last one. Maybe that's why the lamb/potato proportion was off. I got the duck because that is another thing you can't get just anywhere. I substituted the baby potatoes with the garlic truffle mashed potatoes and it was out of this world. The duck was cut thick and tasted a bit like ham. The proportion was large. I had to have help finishing it. The only recommendation on this dish is that I would have liked the fatty portion of the duck to have been seared a little more to add that crispy flair. Overall, all this quaint family owned converted home is an amazing find. The ambiance is perfect. The decor is trendy and simple but not blah. Service is spot on. Food is high-end and unique. Don't miss the last item on the menu, bottom right in beverages. Buy your kitchen staff a beer for $2 each. They definitely deserve it. read more

A star off for the prices for most items. But the dishes were presented well and were overall tasty. The bone marrow appetizer didn't have much bone marrow and was a bit too jellied but still good. The bread served was excellent. The star of the dishes on the table was the lobster tail. While I was still hungry after eating it, it was a flavor bomb with parmesan crisp, purée of carrot, bacon, and romanesco broccoli. It's worth the price, in my opinion. The ribeye was also good even if it was very peppery with the peppercorns. The steak frites were not as good since the meat was a bit tougher to chew. The steak Diane was the same kind of meat as the steak frites. The Chilean sea bass was another dish that excelled in the evening but my vote still goes with the lobster. For dessert, the chocolate cake was huge but a bit too dry for my liking. The skillet rye chocolate chip cookie was tastier and more popular despite the smaller portion. This is a nice place to eat in Wimberley and I wouldn't mind returning. read more

We just had dinner at Jobell, and it was wonderful as always! What a treat to have here in Wimberley. I had the crab cake as my meal, along with sides of mash potatoes and asparagus. My husband had the Steak Diane and a cup of the onion soup. Also, all delicious. And our waitress, Zoe, was so friendly and a delight. I asked for her recommendation for a red wine, and she nailed it. The chasing lion pinot noir was lovely. We will be back. read more

My wife decided to treat us here on my birthday while we were on a little romantic vacation. We sat outside, really cool atmosphere...we ordered some wine and a charcuterie board...both were excellent! Our waiter was pretty down to earth, he was new, but polite. Next we ordered the steak Diane and the Jobell house salad. The salad was okay, seemed to be trying too hard for me ‍ The steak was HORRIBLE, almost inedible, the fries were pretty good I guess. The food was expensive and to be honest it just wasn't that good. Cool place for maybe some apps and drinks, but diner? Mehhhh read more

Very pretentious outlet for such a beautiful yet modest small town. The food is overpriced. For example, I paid $20 for what amounted to a "charcuterie board" of 2 slices of aged cheese, and aged sausage that smelled like dirty feet. There were three delectable slices of bread and a handful of old, limp greens. For us dumb, unpolished hicks, a "charcuterie board" is a piece of wood with a few bitter tasting cold cuts smartly arranged on said wood. The food isn't the point for there is no substance. You benighted people are paying for the presentation. Furthermore, it took the kitchen approximately 45 minutes to deliver this sad slop to my table. read more

The restaurant came highly recommended by our air bnb hosts so we decided to give it a try on our first night. We are here on a cold night in December. The outside looks like it would be a wonderful place to eat if the weather were a little warmer. We were immediately greeted by the friendly hostess and taken to our table. The ambiance was nice. The dining area had slightly dim lighting with candles on the table. Our server greeted us in a timely manner and was very attentive, even when the dining area got busy. Selection of adult beverages included beer and wine. We would've liked to see spirits on the menu, especially for an after dinner drink. The Brussels sprouts came highly recommended and did not disappoint. The portion was generous. They had a sweet but spicy flavor and were delicious. We also ordered the bone marrow appetizer. The addition of roasted garlic made this stand out from any other bone marrow we've ordered at other restaurants. The soup of the day was loaded baked potato soup. It hit the spot in this cold evening. We ordered pork belly as an entree. In our opinion, it needed a little more seasoning. The goat cheese topping on the pasta portion of the dish was a good addition as it made it stand out. We were so full but decided to try a dessert. The bourbon bread pudding came out warm. It is enough for at least 2-3 people to share. It was the perfect ending to our meal! read more

My mom and I came on a Saturday at 12:00 pm and it was super chill since there was only one other table being serviced. So we got special attention from our server Maddie, who was super sweet and accommodating. We ordered an appetizer, two entrees, and two desserts to equal out to roughly $67. So kinda pricey in our opinion, but we are from out of town and on vacation so it was one of those YOLO moments. Thanks Maddie for being a great server! read more

So, we go to Jobelle Cafe & Bistro once in awhile and are never disappointed, but today was a particularly spectacular dining experience. My wife had the duck with polenta and broccolini with an orange red wine reduction, while I had the Chilean Sea Bass with asparagus puree and black japonica rice, bok choy and a lemon pepper cream sauce. My good Lord, this was fantastic. The clams and mussel appetizer set our main course up perfectly and the Chilean Savignon Blanc was a great pair with both the appetizer and the Sea Bass. Dessert was Creme Brulee with a cappuccino and hit the spot after a fabulous meal. David (the owner who comes by to check on you) and his fabulous waitstaff were more than accommodating, and very attentive especially with all of the COVID-19 precautions that were taken. Great job David and Paige. Thanks for an amazing experience right here in Wimberley. read more

What a great experience! My sister and I were visiting from out of town & our host (Collective Retreats) recommended this restaurant. We were not disappointed. Between the service, the food (ahi tuna salad, onion soup and harvest salad)& wine selection, you just can't go wrong! Highly recommend this place - it's a nice change from the downtown Wimberley feel (& plenty of parking)! read more

What a lovely surprise in hill country! Just needed to eat and have been wowed. The setting is gorgeous and relaxing. The food was unexpectedly gastronomic and amazingly tasty. The baked brie with Fig preserves was terrific as was the salad to start us off. The baked squash with quinoa stuffing was good tho it could have been cooked a few min longer and a touch if honey or maple syrup would've made it were phenomenal. The sweet potato fries were perfect, not greasy and very thin cut. PS Chef, ketchup as a dip? Really? Seems lazy. Another nontomato choice would've been welcome. Creme Brule was amazing! Overall terrific surprise, marvelous dinner! Service very good. read more
