Reata’s legacy is deeply rooted in the spirit of the wide-open West, symbolized by the ranch in the epic 1950s film “Giant.” This legendary movie, starring James Dean, Rock Hudson, and Elizabeth Taylor, embodies the strength, spirit, and excitement of those bygone days.
The story of Reata Restaurant began when Al Micallef, owner of the CF Ranch, joined forces with Fort Worth businessman Mike Evans in 1995 to create the first Reata Restaurant in Alpine, Texas. From that humble beginning grew the nationally renowned original Fort Worth location, including the acclaimed Reata at Sundance in downtown Fort Worth, which opened in May 2002.
For over two decades, Reata has been delighting patrons in Alpine and Fort Worth with its exceptional cuisine and warm hospitality. The journey that began with a rancher’s craving for great food has blossomed into a culinary legend that continues to thrive, offering unforgettable dining experiences.
As “The Texas Bucket List” shines a spotlight on Reata Alpine this weekend, viewers are invited to savor the legendary flavors and spirit of the Old West that define this remarkable culinary destination. It’s a celebration of Southwestern cuisine, history, and hospitality that truly captures the heart and soul of Texas.
