Patton’s on Main Closes in Marble Falls

Just a few short months ago, Marble Falls was buzzing with high-end culinary activity. Then, 909 closed on short notice. And stunningly, less than a month later, Patton’s on Main (and for a time an occupant in our Top 20) closed. Just like that, the two best restaurants in Marble Falls gone!

The official reason for Patton’s closing is that the chef got an offer he couldn’t refuse to go back and work for his former employer Wolfgang Puck. My hunch though is that the offer was a lot easier to accept given the preponderance of unoccupied tables on many nights. Whatever the reason, I will miss Patton’s on Main. This was a great story: local boy goes off and conquers the culinary world and the returns home to amaze and dazzle his home town. Too bad that story couldn’t have had a few more chapters.
