There is definitely rest for the weary at the lovely Inn at Dos Brisas, set in the picturesque Texas countryside. This peaceful place reminds visitors that rustic relaxation doesn’t have to come without sophisticated comforts, and gourmet dining at the Inn's restaurant is one of the highlights of a visit. Others come simply for dinner, where the chef prepares masterful creations, many sourced from the Inn’s own organic gardens. The haute cuisine is a little bit French and a little bit country, with dishes such as poached pheasant with black-eyed pea cassoulet and chilled lobster with Texas Rio-star grapefruit. The extensive wine list includes more than 3,500 different vintages.
