We had a wonderful experience at Jeffrey's! The staff was friendly and accommodating--we had a last-minute addition to our party, and they graciously made it work. We arrived early, so the atmosphere was quiet, and service was prompt and attentive. Serena and her shadow trainee took great care of us, along with at least three others who served food, cleared dishes, wiped the tablecloth, and kept our drinks filled. The highlight for me was the freshly baked popover with honey butter--absolutely delicious! The diver scallop wasn't my favorite, and there were mixed reviews on the crispy oysters. The Caesar salad (with anchovies) was tasty, but we've had better. However, the truffle deviled eggs, ham & gruyere croquettes, and crab beignets were all hits at our table. We were glad to revisit after a long time, and a couple of first-timers in our group had a great time. Looking forward to coming back for happy hour! Parking is easy in the neighborhood if you don't mind a short walk, and there's free valet. Rideshare is a good option if you want to avoid the search for a spot. -- Will be back!
One of the best steakhouses I've ever been to. Starting with the popovers, which were exceptional! Why is everyone else charging for bread? We then tried the gulf fried oysters which were so flavorful. The rib eye was cooked perfectly and served with as many sauces as I wanted! Other steakhouses need to take notice: treat people like this and they will keep coming back. The wine list was all encompassing and had several modestly priced (relatively) options. Finished with chocolate souffle, which is a must. I'd give it 6 stars if possible.
You walk in and instantly get the vibe. It's intimate and special. Everyone in the place looks great with their uniforms, especially the red details. The dishes are all insta worthy and packed with flavor. I chose the fish and loved the presentation. For cocktails, I recommend the Jeffrey's sour, and of course my favorite an espresso martini with gin. The price point i would say is about $200 person, for a spot that will definitely impress you and whoever you are with. There was nothing wrong with the service we received.
I haven't been to Jeffrey's in over a decade, but have great memories. So, I'm not qualified to rate now.
Fine dining with amazing service. We ordered the hamachi carpaccio, Prime Beef Tenderloin Tartare, crab cake, scallops, tomahawk pork, braised beef ribs, beef mignon, garlic broccoli, steak fries,& crispy Brussel sprouts. The hamachi was fresh and paired really well with the green apples. The appetizer scallop dish was not well balanced and was our least favorite dish. Scallops were cooked well but didn't pair well with the grapefruit and the endive. The complimentary bread was delicious. I wish they put more honey on the ricotta cheese. The garlic broccoli was good. The crispy brussel sprout was our table favorite. Seriously this is the best Brussel sprout I've ever had. Perfectly fried where the Brussel sprouts were not oily and the sauce paired so well! The steak fries were not crispy and the aioli was bland. The tomahawk pork steak was cooked perfectly but it was under seasoned. The beef mignon was perfectly seasoned and melted in your mouth! Sooo good! The braise beef ribs was a bit fatty and was super rich. I wasn't a fan of this dish. Beef tartare was on point. Crab cakes you can see and taste the lumps of crabs which was delicious! Service was definitely and on par with fine dining. Food came out hot. The timing on the food took a little bit. Put reservation was 6:15pm and we needed to leave 8pm. We had all of our appetizers by 7:40pm and got worried we haven't received our entrees yet so we had to flag our waiter down to let him know we had to leave for a show at 8pm. Our entrees and sides got there 8pm and we had to rush eat to leave 8:10pm. Do i recommend this place? Yes, great place to go to for a special occasion. Totally recommend the mignon, Brussel sprouts, hamachi, beef tartare
Top notch dinner experience and wonderfully delicious food and drinks!! The service was incredible from start to finish. The vibe inside is dark, romantic, and cozy yet classy. There are lots and lots of wine options, with the menu being on an iPad. For apps, we ordered the beef tartare and the scallops. Both were amazing and full of flavor, the tartare coming with just two bites per order. I had never tried tartare before and really enjoyed this take on it. For our main we ordered an 8 oz filet with the onion ring, béarnaise sauce, roasted garlic, and garlic butter. The roasted garlic was the best side and the star of our second course. Was possibly my favorite part of the meal. When you order any steak you get to choose as many steak accompaniments as you want. Can order all of them if you wanted! We also ordered the creamed spinach as a side that was equally as magnificent. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate soufflé and was also brought out a birthday dessert for my friend's birthday. The soufflé takes a little time to prepare and was taking longer than usual so our waiter brought us out a complementary crème brûlée while we waited, so nice! The brûlée ended up being my favorite dessert of the three!
Wow everything from food quality to service was phenomenal! I came here to celebrate a birthday and they even brought out a complimentary confetti cake for us! The complimentary bread at the beginning was also so soft, warm and crispy on the outside that we had to ask for a refill. My filet was so tender and juicy. The Japanese wagyu was somewhat fatty and I really enjoyed that as well. Not a big fan of the fried onion. The Brussels sprouts were one of the best I have had! Perfect sweet and savory flavor. Nice romantic ambiance with low lighting inside, perfect for an intimate dinner. Excellent service. Everyone was so kind and attentive. Our table was cleared very quickly as soon as a course was finished. Look forward to coming back!
I've been so excited to come to Jeffrey's, and then when I saw it recently named one of the best steakhouses in America, I was worried my expecations would be too high and I would be disappointed. I am happy to say this is one of the rare occasions I was absolutely blown away by a restaurant experience. It was such a delightful evening. Ambiance, service, food, vibe, drinks. I like the area - one of those charming little Austin areas and pulled up - valet guys were super nice and had a good convo with one about celsius beverages. The restaurant itself - not just a big open space, but separate rooms; tastefully decorated: like you can tell it's a high end experience, but not stuffy and not like over the top steakhouse vibe - like a fantastic date night type restaurant. Our server captain, Harold was great. He was super nice, knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive. One of my favorite thing about the menu was the different ranches you can get your steak from - had a good convo with Harold about it. I obviously wanted to make sure I hit the Texas ranch and was okay with a "northwest ranch" once I knew that would also entail Texas and cool places like Montana. But backing up - I'm sure many others have commented on the bread - it was like a flaky croissant like dinner roll - incredible. Appetizers and such were almost impossible to pick because there are so many I want to try but we had to show restraint. After all, this night was really about one thing: CARNE! We went with the scallops and I've never had such a wonderful scallop in my life. I'm not a mushroom guy but the mushrooms in the dish were delicious. Now, on to the steak - we went with the Texas ranch ribeye and the Northwest ranch filet. I think my reaction was something of saying "My god do I love Texas." Only in Texas can you get such an incredible steak with a hint of Texas magic bbq flavoring on the crust! (Also have to say the sauces were really good and fun, and happy they didn't nickel and dime for them. Caveat: obviously they weren't used for the steak). Now, if I have to choose, I would go with the ribeye again over the filet (which was actually cheaper). When you have one bite of the filet and then the ribeye, while both being wonderful..that Texas ribeye was a different level. Good wines by the glass (and a crazy bottle selection). Again, Harold and his staff were great and just elevated the entire evening. Yes, the restaurant is very expensive. But we walked out of there thinking we had such a wonderful evening, were talking about how he wanted to come back and maybe even sit at the bar and just have a drink and some of their apps. From now on, if someone wants a nice experience in Austin, I am recommending Jeffrey's and can't wait to go back and would absolutely love to take friends/family visiting. I really love Texas, and experiences like Jeffrey's only reinforce that view. I rank it right up there as a top restaurant I've ever been to.
Aside from the lovely ambiance ~ moody, inviting as you could be in someone's study with comfy chairs , booths plus pillows for us gals who need a back support ~ We sat in the bar , our server Caleb was skilled in addressing each of us (not just my husband!) then acknowledging us. He knew the menu and was willing to make recommendations of food, drinks & wine if needed. We enjoyed the deviled eggs & ham & cheese croquettes along with cocktails a Ketel 1 martini and the "MOST" delisssh Milk Punch I HAVE EVER HAD So DELISSH I ordered another Dinner was shared the Little Gem Caesar Salad + the HALIBUT Seriously both these choices are worthy of "licking the plate " each well ' balanced & seasoned perfectly We have been to Jeffrey's b4, in the dining room so we knew what to expect & we were NOT DISAPPOINTED Austin is a foodie town, Jeffries is possibly THE BEST food we had here
