STEPH JUDGEMENT: Well-heeled bar in a beautiful historic hotel…read more A friend had recommended their martinis, and they sure sounded great after a dusty 7 mile hike! The bar was beautifully maintained, like the rest of the hotel, and luckily they must be used to weary, wind-whipped hikers rolling in, because the bartender didn't bat an eye and treated us very courteously despite our disheveled appearance. The said martinis were excellent, and we ended up getting some food as well: Sandia salad (watermelon, arugula, queso) fresco--very refreshing) and caramelized Brussels sprouts (tasty, but a bit over-oily). Prices are in line with what you'd expect at a fancy hotel, but it was a wonderful reward after a long day out in the park.

We have not crossed Death Valley for at least 15 years. We arrived at Furnace Creek Ranch, finding a slick international tourist destination. The dining room of old was gone, we found nothing in our drive through that bespoke "Dining Room." If one does not bring victuals or eat at a Death Valley property, or have a large supply of personal water, it is a long journey between the Lone Pine-Olancha megalopolis and Shoshone, Beatty, or Pahrump. The Timbisha Shoshone have inhabited the Valley and surrounding region for centuries. That is another story. Looking for a place to stop we found "The Inn at Death Valley, formerly Fyrnace Creek, a unit of The Oasis at Death Valley on the grade out of The Valley. The Timbisha lodged here first, along a creek. A date farm followed, then a Fine Hotel. It is Fine. It has clearly marked dining, with dining hours posted. It also has a golf course, creek fed pool, etc. The Inn is a 20th century tourism classic. Architecture, is Spanish SW modern, original adobe, Shoshone-made. The beamed lobby and dining room are floored with saltillo tile spaced with small talavera tile beauties, maintained, gleaming, perfect. Do you enjoy the art and photography of 19th and 20th century Western Art? The Inn at Death Valley is a gallery of the early west's best jnown artists, plus a guide sheet for Bierstadt, Russell,Remington, Miller, Dixon and many more. We arrived in the dining room about 1:30, 30 minutes before dining room closing. The staff were all helpful, many modern "Harvey Girls" interns from university hospitality programs or hired through Xanterra's web page. Our food. Three Sisters soup - corn, beans, squash, seasonings. It was fine. A visitor from Europe or Far East might savor it. I suggest Xanterra send a chef on an internship among Southwest Pueblos or hire a Native American Chef. AmericanRails.com writes, "The (Harvey) houses were designed to appeal to all classes of society, with breakfast, lunch, and dinner being served at set times. Meals were prepared using fresh, locally sourced produce,..." The Timbisha people could provide great tips in local foods, including mesquite, pinon pine nuts, some atriplex (spinach cousins) etc. We split a burger - double patty house special cheeseburger. We requested no cheese. It arrived with cheese. We ordered the celebrated sweet potato fries. First, regarding local food products; the region has a few stellar cattle ranches. Xanterra I encourage you to send a chef to Phoenix's 5th Avenue Cafe to learn what excellent sweet potato fries are all about, them move on to Hamburger Works or My Mother's restaurant, Bobby Q's or even Longhorn Steakhouse to create a flavorful, grilled, thoughtful hamburger. I favor desserts. With coffee. Coffee excellent. Flourless chocolate cake, decent. Hotel 5 Architecture and art, 5 Food - good enough, not great.

I have idyllic memories of this store from my childhood where starting in 1974 we would stop here…read moreto pick up necessities while visiting my Grandparents who lived in the 'big white house' on Farm Rd. Back then we nicknamed it 'the M & M store' because we were always treated to M & M's. There were inexpensive toys for purchase that we always looked forward to getting during our shopping excursions to help us pass the time. Neighbors relied on this store to get fresh milk and produce and it was a lifesaver as my Grandparents only went to Vegas once a month to shop at a full size grocery store. Over the years I continued to return to this store as an adult when I'd visit the Amargosa, and after my Grandparents died I would visit with Marta Becket in DVJ and get my supplies here. Sunny is a delight and it's been so heartwarming to see this formerly very rough little store turn into a very inviting shop & restaurant. I don't know when it first opened under the original ownership but the fact that it's remained a vital Amargosa Valley market these past 54 years for me is precious. Thank you Martell's for being a constant treasure in my life.

Walking inside the gas station it's sectioned off to the left. They do seem to have a fly issue on the gas station as some had said. Hopefully that Is something they will rectify. However, its hard to find good Indian food these days. Especially in such a remote area such as this, and I found the food here was actually really delightful. Sometimes you have to go to a hole in the wall, that lacks the sparkle and refinement visually to get the flavor you have been searching for. The cashier was polite as he took our order. We got the butter chicken, mango lassi, and a potato stuffed paratha bread. It was perfect to share between two people. The meat was tender and flavorful, and I loved that there were nuts in the sauce and the spices were more complex. I find a lot of Indian places dont add those touches in the states. Rice was fluffy and fragrant, the bread was so delicious! Warm and layered with that soft potatoes filling. It was great to dip into the butter chicken sauce. They also had a side of yogurt and a chutney. The chutney was not my favorite thing in the world, it tasted perfumey. We got the food mild incase our child wanted any, but they do offer spice levels. The mango lassi was divine! Bursting with flavor and not to thick. If flies were not attacking me this would have been 5 stars. I didn't experience not feeling welcome in any way because I am not the same ethnicity as the workers like some had mentioned. I just thought that was important to mention. If you want yummy food and a place to stretch your legs its a great alternative to the less than stellar cuisune you often find on this route to tahoe in the smaller towns.

We grabbed menus and sat ourselves. Someone came to check on us immediately, but we weren't ready to order (we had just sat down!) so we asked for a few minutes. That turned into almost 10min, and I had to flag them down to start us off with waters. After ordering food, we were never checked on again until the check. We had two flatbreads and a caesar salad to share. The BBQ chicken flatbread was quite sweet, and normally I'm a fan of BBQ pizza. The pepperoni was basic, but good. Same with the salad. There are also clean restrooms inside. Overall, a decent place to get out of the heat and enjoy a meal.
