    Truffled Deviled Egg
    Raecheal T.

    The best steak of our lives and we have eaten our fair share! Combine that with impeccable service and a wine list to die for and the evening was absolute perfection.

    Popovers
    Jennifer D.

    Wow! It's been a month since I was there and I'm still salivating. What a truly great experience we had at Jeffrey's. It was for my, and my friend's, birthday. I'm going to start with the bad... parking suuucckksss. They do offer valet, though. Now into the good. From the hors d'oeuvres, to the dinner, the cocktails and dessert. The amount of care and detail they put into not only making delicious food, but how It's presented on the plate. Our waiter was freaking amazing and of course I'm terrible with names but I hope he's still there next time! We ordered so many different hors d'oeuvres. We almost tried them all. With the truffle deviled eggs and ham & Gruyere Croquettes being my pick. I had the Dean & Peeler (Based in Texas) 8 oz filet and it was perfectly prepared. And let me tell you right now, those seared mushrooms are literally the best mushrooms I've had anywhere. Highly recommend them! I didn't get a pic because I tried one and then forgot all about my fellow Yelpers at that moment. My favorite cocktail was the English Milk Punch. Shout out to Finn and his fellow cocktail magicians. For my "dessert" I ordered a glass of the Seppeltsfield 2002 Tawny. Holy crap, the flavor was amazing. It's definitely sweet so if you're not into that... then that leaves more for me! It gave me maple syrup vibes. Those Australians know what's up. Too bad one can't find a bottle anywhere to have at home. I could probably go on but hands down the best dining experience we've had in a very long time.

    Chocolate Soufflé

    An amazing dinner that is worth trying at least once! The service was spectacular and the ambience is chill and romantic. They have free valet parking! The complimentary popovers were DELICIOUS! Drink: Highly recommend the English milk punch it's a smooth and super sweet drink. The blood orange fizz was also good, but not my favorite of the two drinks hors d'oeuvres: The HAM & GRUYÈRE CROQUETTES melt in your mouth! The PORK BELLY & DUCK RILLETTES were so yummy and my favorite of all the appetizers. The CRAB & SESAME BEIGNETS are also a MUST try! Appetizers: The Scallop dish was fresh, citrusy, and the melon bites were a great combination Entree: If you want a fish dish then the DOVER SOLE AMANDINE is the one you should try! It was spectacular. It was a flavor bomb in my mouth! Dessert: I really enjoyed the chocolate soufflé with the cherry ice cream

    I don't know why it's taken me so long to go here, but boy am I glad I finally went. Jeffrey's is tucked away on a quiet and unassuming street. When you walk in, first thing you'll notice is that the restaurant is deceptively large. The bar is beautiful, and the rest of the restaurant will remind you of an old school Italian mobster restaurant (in a good way!) The service was phenomenal. Multiple people came to service our table for water, bread, food, cleaning the table, etc. The food was amazing, but I'm going to give you the secret star of the show: the rack of lamb. Honestly may be the best lamb that I've had in Austin (and I've tried a bunch of different places!). We will for sure be back. Thank you for making our anniversary celebrations memorable!

    Jeffreys, a meal so complete, that it can be described by one word; immaculate. What an amazing establishment that is an EXPERIENCE in fine dining, yet still maintains a classy yet not snobby Austin charm. Food - I very rarely find restaurants executing in all phases but there was not a single menu item that wasn't perfectly seasoned, and delicious. Nothing felt like it was mediocre. From the appetizers (the greatest deviled eggs) to the entree and sides (the sides were not an afterthought!) everything was amazing. I had the Mishima Ribeye. Such a perfectly cooked medium rare, no hard gray band. Just a perfect cook. The butter flavor with herb and garlic was also perfection. Perfectly salted and a great crust. Truly mind blowing creamed spinach, delicious mushrooms and the desserts had a depth of flavor that was out of this world. Service - The waiter was fantastic. Playful and witty, rolled with my groups terrible dad jokes and everyone who helped was on top of drinks, picking up items, and keeping the table neat. Jeffreys is a MEMORABLE Meal.

    Tortellini.
    john g.

    Reservations are pretty much required. Food is mostly legit at a hefty price tag. The popup bread is complementary and amazing. I need to learn how to make this. We got 2 different steaks. The 6oz mishima tenderloin filet - this was the best steak hands down I've ever had. I don't eat at top steakhouses often, but this is hands down the best steak by far anywhere. Well worth the $95. Great feature, perfect temperature, Melted in your mouth. Great Smokey flavor. Amazing. Absolutely zero need to use any of their sauces. The 12oz mishima ny strip was good, but honestly for the price point, I'm not sure it's justified. This weighed in at a whopping $120. It was good, but didn't knock my socks off like the tenderloin did. After the filet, I was a bit disappointed here. We also for the tortellini - amazing. So many unique flavors in a bit. The fries, while stacked in a jenga block set look, were aweful. It tasted like yucca. Service - A+. I came here with a friend, but lots of couples as it did have a romantic vibe inside.

    Spectacular restaurant, what a special treat. I truly loved this dining experience. The service top-notch as well, our server Sergio, enthusiastically described, in detail, every item on the menu. Helping us navigate and decide what to order. The food was fantastic, everything we ordered was fresh and well prepared. I would highly recommend this restaurant next time you find yourself in Austin, Texas.

    Croquettes and beef tartare
    Cayley V.

    Such a pleasure every time I come here. The staff is always so friendly and attentive and can we talk about the food!! I came for a late birthday light dinner, I will always recommend the tortellini, croquettes, truffled deviled eggs, and beef tartare for starters. I also split a ribeye either my partner. We sat in the lounge which was dimly lit and lively but we were still able to have great conversations. I ran into an issue with the tortellini being a little too salty this time and it was immediately replaced with new bites. Impeccable service and impeccable restaurant 10/10 if you're in Austin co

    Pekin duck breast au poivre
    Maria S.

    First visit to Jeffrey's to celebrate my birthday, and the experience lived up to the great reputation of this 50-year-old Austin institution. Standouts were the popovers, truffled deviled eggs, lobster bisque, steak (of course), and dessert. 5 out of 5 Appetizers -Complimentary popcorn - just okay. -Complimentary popovers with house-made ricotta - I love popovers, and these did not disappoint. -Truffled deviled eggs (2 per order) - a standout! Intensely flavorful and very rich; one per person was more than enough. -Fried frog legs (2 per order - new menu addition) - served on a mousse, deep fried with the bone exposed for easy eating. Tastes similar to fried chicken wings and was a fun, bite-sized app to try. -Lobster bisque - tender Maine lobster chunks topped with rich sherried cream and parsley were served inside a vol-au-vent (a light, hollow French puff pastry). The bisque is poured tableside, which was a nice presentation touch. You can also ask to split this portion for two. Mains -16oz ribeye from Dean & Peeler Farm - delicious, juicy, and nicely fatty. -Pekin duck breast au poivre - pepper-crusted duck breast was cooked rare, and served with roasted broccoli rabe, Le Puy lentils, fennel, and caramelized figs. It was a good balance of sweet, bitter, and rich, fatty flavors. -Side of steak fries - perfectly fried and crispy, served with chimichurri aioli and ketchup. Desserts -Cranberry tartlette. I wanted the baked Alaska with eggnog ice cream and spiced persimmon (flambéed tableside), but due to allergies had to opt for the cranberry tartlette instead - and thankfully it was a standout as well. The perfectly baked tartlette was topped with tart but not sour cranberries and citrus jello pieces made from Buddha hand lemon. The Pinot Noir ice cream genuinely tasted like faint wine, and the light cheese custard accents had a cheesecake-like texture that balanced everything well. -Birthday cake! Our server brought out a complimentary birthday cake ice cream sandwich with a candle - it's a sugar-cookie-style cake enveloping a block of ice cream. I found it to be a nice more traditional birthday dessert that contrasted nicely with the tartlette. Service: Very attentive and thoughtful, especially regarding my allergies. Ambience: Intimate, warm, and classy, with enough separation between tables to feel private without feeling stiff.

    Creamed Spinach
    Elle K.

    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!

    Perhaps the best restaurant in Austin. Curated steaks are severed perfectly in a romantic and intimate room filled with 2 and 4 tops -- and an obvious aversion to groups Appetizers and salads are all perfected worthy of the old "let's get one more order of those!" Dessert was serviceable

    THE BIG: Small wine bar/restaurant off of E 7th street in East Austin. When I mean small, it's…read moresmall. Probably 1200 sq ft, but it overdelivers on wine and food. Parking is in the garage. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I came here to catch up with a buddy that enjoys wine as much as I do. Starting off, we got a glass of Aubry brut 1er cru glass. Nice, acidic, and bubbly. What I expect out of champagne. We got a philippe jouan (aka pinot noir) bottle which was so delicious. For food, we got the baguette and a egg confit dish that was divine. Then wrapping up, we got a single glass of produttori del barbaresco and capellano barolo. These were super old wines from the 80s and boy were they screaming tertiary notes. Awesome experience. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall, we spent around $270 for a bottle of pinot noir, two glasses of really old wine and a sneak peek bite of their tasting menu. Will be back to try more wines and food.

    Apt 115 is located in an apartment, which is so aptly named for such a delightful restaurant! It is…read morelocated near the east sixth street area, which makes it a perfect place to have some lovely wine and delicious food before a night out! The restaurant is small, but has a ton of character! I highly recommend getting a reservation. We started off with kanpachi crudo which had a delicous ponzu sauce and some extra sweetness from the melon balls! We then had the Vichyssoise, which I would say was my favorite bite of the evening! The Scarlett crab was soo good and added the perfect amount of saltiness and sweetness to the comforting soup! For our mains, we got the duck which had a delicious hoisin sauce. While I enjoyed the bok choy I felt it could have a better accompaniment. We also got the salmon which had a smaller portion, but was unique in its taste and execution. Overall, I would definitely recommend this spot, but do be aware that the menu is small when ordering ala carte but each item is executed thoroughly well!

I felt the vibe instantly, like as soon as I put one foot in the door. Magical, sophisticated, worldly, wonderful and more were the feelings that spontaneously hit me. The dark and elegant decor, lighting, design, & layout made me feel as though I were in a high-end Tokyo cocktail lounge. The front room as I mentioned is an intimate bar and lounge area with artwork adorning the walls. It's a modern, minimalist, and sleek space. The artwork is ever-changing (every couple of months or so) and the cocktail menu changes right long with it. Note: artwork is available for purchase. What an absolutely glorious way of combining different mediums (liquid art vs physical art). The craft cocktails & mocktails are the epitome of works of art. I've had great cocktails and mocktails elsewhere but honestly I'd be hard pressed to find anything on this level. You're taken into an entirely different realm just watching the genius of mixologists. It's mesmerizing watching them hone their craft. In the back of the lounge is an enclave of eclectic art and other pieces that then leads you to Konbini, the sushi bar. It's an industrial, warehouse vibe with a long counter that screams hip, Tokyo inspired, late-night eatery. Service is impeccable and welcoming at this cosmopolitan venue. It's truly an amazing experience.

    Bear and Anthony at the bar were great. Bear informed me of the art and menu being cohesive and…read morethat they change ever so often. And that the menu is curated to tie with the art/artist so you never know what will be on the menu. A regular arrived to the bar and mentioned the edition of the menu. 005. So this is the fifth menu since opening? How fun! Tried the Key Lime drink which was too damn delicious. Tasted like a damn dessert and went down too easy. Only food I tried was the Tofu Chip which was delicious as well. Also got the Milky drink and it went down just as smoothly. All in all great place, just popped in for my second time in the past three days. The vibe was chill and laid back. Dim lighting and good music.
