We stopped by to grab a few drinks from their happy hour since it was really hot that day. Super friendly staff and they specialize in oysters and they have wines, draft and craft beers as well. Ambience was chill and lovely the homie feel and esthetics of the rustic bar. Highly recommend! read more

Ordered: Cortado (~$6) Fresser Platter (~$78): smoked trout & salmon, house-cured gravlax, whitefish, scrambled eggs w caviar, tomato, capers, red onion, chive cream cheese, latkes, bagels & toast Pancakes (~$22): strawberries, whipped cream, maple syrup Hot Lobster Roll (~$39): with fries, ketchup, & herb mayo Aya's take: Brunch in NYC has become less worthwhile in my opinion but ever since I came across the Fresser Platter at Jeffrey's Grocery, I knew I had to try it. I was able to snag a reservation for our party of 5 and I highly recommend doing so since there isn't too much seating inside and the seating outside is really only practical when the weather is nice. Service was pretty slow throughout brunch which I couldn't figure out why considering it wasn't super busy. Anyway, onto the food! The Fresser Platter was incredible. The NYC brunch spread of my dreams! I was impressed with the quality and taste of the various fish - none of which were overly fishy. The vegetable toppings were a perfect fresh element that complimented the cream cheese and fish. I appreciated that the bagels & toast were warm & pre-toasted. The scrambled eggs & caviar were delicious and the latkes paired well with each bite! They say this is for 2 people but honestly 4 people can comfortably share this. The Pancakes were a nice add-on just to have a sweet dish on the table. They won't blow you away but were solid. the Hot Lobster Roll had good flavor but totally not worth the ~$39 price tag considering the amount of lobster was abysmal. All in all, so glad I finally got to try the Fresser Platter and highly recommend that for brunch! read more

My second time at Jeffrey's Grocery, and it definitely won't be my last! Reservations can be a little tough to get, especially on weekends, but it's absolutely worth the effort. I came back specifically for the lobster spaghetti, and it was just as amazing as I remembered. It's incredibly flavorful with generous chunks of lobster in every bite--something you don't often find at this price point. The sweet tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, crunchy breadcrumbs, and olive oil come together beautifully. I also love that it's light and doesn't rely on a heavy cream sauce. On my first visit, I ordered the crab dip as my app which was also outstanding. Honestly, I'd come back just for the lobster spaghetti. Unlike many restaurants that are stingy with the lobster meat, this dish is loaded with it, making it an excellent value and one of the best lobster pastas I've had. For dessert, I had the chocolate pot de crème which is a very rich chocolate, all mouse with bits of chocolate chip pieces. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, so reservations are highly recommended. Seating is limited, and the tables are fairly close together, making it feel a bit tight during busy times. Still, the food more than makes up for the cozy space. read more

On the weekend, it was the brunch menu. It was extremely warm though inside so we required a lot of ice water. The staff was very attentive. We started off with the razorclam special of the day which was very lovely. It was bright, fresh, chewy, and refreshing. The fresser platter ($78) is what we really loved and would come back to order again. It's basically deconstructed lox, whitefish, capers, tomato, sour cream, cream cheese, red onions, latkes, scrambled eggs with caviar, smoked trout, salmon, several pieces of sourdough bread and bagel. It was all fresh and lovely to pair as we wanted. It was aesthetically pleasing and seems to be a favorite amongst the diners. They said this is for two people but we found it was more ideal for 3-4 people. latkes were crunchy. the whitefish was our favorite- clean, not fishy, and overall delicious. The sourdough was so good too- very airy and soft. We loved the pancakes ($20). The 3 pancakes were fluffy. The strawberries, whipped cream, and maple syrup was probably our second favorite dish. We finished it completely. It was quality syrup and the whipped cream was so light and airy. The strawberries were sweet. It all paired well together. We also ordered the lobster roll with chips ($39). The lobster was the star of the dish so it worked really well. The old bay fries were delicious. The JG Burger ($28) was interesting. It was cooked perfectly at medium rare. The bacon jam made the flavor interesting. The chips were perfectly fried and light. The old bay crab melt ($23) was probably the least interesting and we wouldn't order it again but the old bay fries were delicious. The crispy chicken sandwich ($24) had good flavor. We wouldn't get a side of salad again. read more

Just WOW! We were able to snag a reservation for three at 5:30 at the bar but when we got there, it was such a nice day outside and we kindly asked if we could sit outside and the staff was super kind and got us a nice table outside. And then we were pushing our luck and asked our waiter if we could still do the happy hour menu considering it was 5:29 when we sat down and again the staff was super kind and accommodating and got us our happy hour drinks. We paired that with the Caesar salad, the crab dip and the fish and chips which is a must in my opinion. If you're looking for a popping summer spot, look no further! read more

I haven't been to Jeffrey's Grocery in years and it is still as good as I remember. I was able to get a Saturday night reservation and the place was packed both inside and outside. We started with a couple glasses of wine and Le Duchess seafood plateau. It came with oysters, shrimp, clams, smoked mussels, and albacore conserva to share for two people. The smoked mussels were my favorite, but the whole platter was great. We also split the mussels and lobster spaghetti. The spaghetti came with a good amount of lobster meat mixed in the tomato sauce. The mussels were so flavorful in the broth. I'll definitely be back soon, especially on a nice summer day. read more

I had a weekday dinner reservation here and loved my experience! The weather was nice so there were plenty of people sitting outside. We had a table indoors right by the window so it was perfect. The interior is nautical themed which was a nice touch. Our waiter was hilarious and we loved his vibe. Service was attentive and quick. My group ordered a bunch of things to share. Oysters: 8/10 so fresh! Crab dip and whitefish dip: 8/10 Honestly they felt pretty similar to me, I'd just get one next time. But both were delicious and creamy Tuna tartare: 8.5/10 this is served with the house potato chip which was a delicious combination. Light and refreshing Lobster roll: 8/10 this wasn't too heavy which I appreciated. Good amount of lobster. We got one with the potato chips and one with the fries, but I'd just get the fries next time The cocktails we got were also very good. I can't remember the name of the one I got, but it had tequila, coconut, and soursop and it was incredible! I enjoyed this visit and would come back. read more

From a happy hour perspective, this place is absolutely delicious, with oysters price at $1.50, you cannot complain. I was absolutely happy with the overall oyster experience, had to order two dozen. You have to wait exactly until the happy hour time hits, you cannot be seen before to benefit from the happy hour pricing. I was a bit confused because the wine was $10 but I was pointed to the $10 section anyway so there is nothing happy about that. However, I was so happy about the discounted oysters. It was delicious overall. The service was pretty good, it can get pretty busy, in the kitchen is small, so it is recommended that you just order everything upfront. This didn't take away from the whole New York City experience, where you absolutely have to sit outside, and enjoy the street view of the west side. Absolutely enjoyed my experience here and still dream of those oysters. read more

This is a great restaurant for an imitate dinner! The interior js dark and moody with a classy dive bar feel. They are known for seafood, and the seafood tower did not disappoint. Service was friendly and warm. Make sure to make a reservation ahead of time, because there were no empty tables. Also, I absolutely loved the decor behind the bar area seating, and if you didn't make a reservation, try to scan for open seating here. And if you've watched the Materialists, you can see the outside of this restaurant in the opening scene :) read more

Jeffrey's is a quaint restaurant with a lively atmosphere. Was seated promptly and server was informative on specials. Ordered the tuna tartare appetizer, le prince seafood, and the lobster roll with fries. They have an extensive drinks list as well. The tuna came first, and this was one of my favorites. Nice temperature dipped with chips. Chips are also good alone. The seafood dish I ordered came with 10 oysters, 4 little neck clams, 4 shrimp and a crab salad. It was okay, don't think I would order it again. There wasn't one thing that stood out on there. Lobster roll came with fries but it is extra. It was hot, and buttery. It is pricey here but you do get what you pay for. Nice to try if you are in the area and have a reservation or be prepared to wait or sit at the bar seats which are limited. read more

Made a reservation on open table for this restaurant. Our server was great. Good food, the chef even went out of his way to get Tabasco for my husband for the oysters. We also got Cesar salad and lobster roll. The lobster roll probably would have been better with heated bread. I was impressed that the Cesar salad was a high degree of lettuce I think young kale. Cute place with limited seating there is outside but nobody was wanting to sit there as it was so cold the day we visited. Tip make a reservation on open table because there is very limited seating inside, they do have a covered patio and uncovered patio as well read more

I was in the area and stopped in Jeffrey's for a drink. While the place was packed, I was able to be seated at a table immediately. Service was quick and polite and atmosphere is open and lively. Looking forward to coming back to try the menu. read more

Perfect for seafood lovers. The true highlight here is the staff. The restaurant was running behind and the manager, Natalie was kind enough to cover the first round. I ordered the Velvet Island (vacation in a class). We ordered the Le Prince to share-loved the oysters and shrimp cocktail, could have done without the clams and crab salad(lacked flavor). For our mains, we got the lobster spaghetti, lobster roll and steak frites. My friends really enjoyed their mains. Again the lobster roll was just okay. Natalie was kind enough to off the Caesar salad and it was delicious. I'd def get that and the shrimp cocktail again. I want to go back for brunch. read more

A cute spot for a seafood brunch tucked away in West Village -- they have a ton of great outdoor seating, waiters were very nice.

Stopped in for lunch on my daughter's recommendation of places to eat while visiting NYC. It's a very small and quaint location on the corner. Really nice inside and my server was Roden and he did an excellent job! I ordered the lobster roll which I was told is a house favorite. I also added the French fries for $4 and I'm glad I did. Lobster roll was a good size portion and was very tasty. The fries were light and crispy. An absolute perfect combination! read more

Excellent little spot in the west village. Had to wait for a table but it was only 15 minutes. While this is a seafood heavy place they have a few vegetarian options. I mostly just wanted a martini and my friend wanted oysters. She said the oysters were delicious! I got the kale Caesar and some fries. Loved the setting outside and the staff were some of the friendliest! read more

Really good options of seafood in their menu. We were in a group of 4 people and got oysters (3 types), burrata, and salad. All very tasteful, especially the oysters. Server was very attentive and friendly. Place has both outside and inside tables and is a very nice environment. read more

This is such a good "pop in" spot for a strong martini (extra dirty) and a shared bite. The crab dip with Ritz crackers hit all the salty umami notes I was craving with my drink. The vibe was a little loud for chatting with my date, but that's to be expected on the last Saturday night before the polar vortex fell upon us. read more

My daughter and I met for dinner tonight. It was on both of our bucket lists and neither of us knew. Ya know how a server can make or break the dining experience? It felt like the whole place was happy, energetic, lively. The lobster roll was ALL lobster and no filler, no celery, nothing. It was hefty and filling. The fries came with two dipping sauces. Omg the happy hour $1.50 oysters with garlic and vinegar sauce was just so good. There was no pressure to leave even as they got busier. Rodin was our excellent server who was so pleasant and attentive. He made a great night even greater. Go! And treat yourself to the olive oil mochi cake. You won't regret any indulgence! read more

Sunday brunch - we got lucky with such good weather that we had an option to sit outdoors or indoors , both equally appealing . We opted and sat right by the window in the front which is the perfect place . The place is small , cozy , well decorated and within theme - seafood . Their brunch menu has so many great options and since I've had my mind set on the lobster roll , that's what I got with a the chips . I'm glad I didn't have a change of heart as it was delicious , just the right amount of lobster in the traditional bread doused with butter and lemon on the side . We shared some oysters and my friends both had the lobster omelette which they seemed to have enjoyed as well , both plates were polished off. I normally have an alcoholic beverage with brunch and the lobster roll would pair nicely with a glass of white or bubbles but being under the weather , orange juice sufficed . I would love to come back for dinner and explore the menu which I expect to be equally as delectable. Service was exceptional, helpful , friendly , attentive and the pacing and timing was on point . read more

Yes, GREAT. Had a super quick 36-hour trip back to NYC and was eager to get in a seafood meal. My niece was able to snag a reservation at Jeffrey's Grocery which I knew of but never had a chance to try before leaving New York 5 years ago. And again, yes, this was a GREAT meal. We began with a half dozen West Coast Oysters. No idea what they specifically were, but a nice medium size with a buttery finish. We also shared the crab dip (delicious) and olives. The tuna tartare with homemade BBQ potato chips were a delight. The best tartare I have had in a while, and a large enough portion that along with the apps, was more than enough as a main dish. Rest of the family had the lobster roll and spaghetti with lobster. The food tasted fresh, everything was seasoned to perfection, and portion sizes seemed just right. Plates were cleaned and the service really could not have been any better. Truly a service with a smile establishment. I shall return! read more

Service was warm and genuinely attentive without being try-hard. Our server did an amazing job walking us through the oysters, explaining the flavor profiles. The crab dip was a standout -- warm, rich, and perfectly snacky with Ritz crackers. Comfort food done right. Mains were strong across the board. The steak au poivre was perfectly cooked and came with old-bay seasoned fries -- slightly light on the Old Bay for my taste, but they had a great crisp. The lobster spaghetti came out piping hot and was absolutely delicious. Favorite moment of the night: the "Toddy with a Body." On a cold winter evening, it was perfect. It tasted like spiced mulled wine and came in mismatched mugs, which somehow perfectly matched the homey, nautical vibe of the space. Desserts on the regular menu looked tempting, but we went for the bagel bread pudding special. It was fine, but not a repeat order -- could've been warmer and a bit less dry. Minor miss in an otherwise excellent meal. Overall, Jeffery's Grocery is a fantastic spot for a date night or a dinner with friends. Exactly the kind of place you want to keep in your rotation. read more

Super cute spot to catch up with a friend over a drink and bites!! While we chose to sit outside and enjoy a cool summer evening, the interior was nautical-themed. We each chose a cocktail, I got the espresso martini (with pistachio flavoring) while my friend got a margarita which had a hint of habanero. Both were delicious! Food-wise, we shared a Caesar salad, crab dip, and lobster roll. The bagel flavoring and chips added a fun and unique element to the salad. We also enjoyed the Ritz paired with the crab dip (in addition to the big portion!). Lobster roll was good, it was New England style so cold with mayo. While I typically skew more Connecticut style (hot w/ butter) for lobster rolls, I thoroughly enjoyed it at Jeffrey's Grocery!! We were able to sub out the chips for fries which had a delightful old bay seasoning... and yes we did keep the crab dip to dip some of the fries in! Our server was really friendly and fun, and we didn't feel rushed at all. I really appreciated that since we had a lot to catch up on from the last few months! Jeffrey's Grocery was the perfect place for a gal dinner on a summer evening. Looking forward to returning! read more

Back again to Jeffrey's Grocery and it did not disappoint. This time I brought my nephew - a real foodie. Cocktails were excellent and our server was knowledgeable on the tequila's they offer - my preference. We started with the crab dip and fried artichokes- both delicious! While I consumed mussels my nephew chose steak frites and we were both happy. My only criticism was the bread pudding, which in my opinion was too much bread and not enough pudding. (See photo below) Try another dessert if you are in the mood. The place was packed, but we were still able to have a conversation and our server was delightful. Overall, a great place to celebrate the holidays or any other occasion. read more

I would say 3.5 stars but since my girlfriend liked her meal so much I'm giving the extra half. We started with the crab dip. I thought it was ok but lacked flavor. My gf really liked it. For mains, she ordered the lobster pasta. We both thought it was excellent. Nice flavor, a fair amount of lobster and the bread crumbs on top really finished it nicely. I ordered the lobster roll. Thought it was only fair. Not much flavor and a very small portion. It was cooked well but just average imo. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate mousse tote dessert and the olive oil cake. The chocolate dessert was ok but very rich. The olive oil cake was horrible! We took two bites and that was all we could take. Tasted like old stale cake with oil on it. Our server was very nice and took very good care of us. I only wish I liked my food as much as my gf. Food was overpriced for the portion size also. read more

I love, love Joseph Leonard's, but when I was unable to get a reservation, I tried Jeffrey's (across the street and owned by the same people). The menu is similar-ish to Joseph Leonard's, but with a "fish flair."

I've come here twice in the last month and love how friendly and personable the staff is. They are all so attentive and sweet! My first stop in I sat at the bar and got a great gin martini. It's true what they say, this was one of the best martinis I've had in the city. Our second trip we sat outside in the shade and got the espresso martini with tequila and the old fashion. They were so perfectly made yet simple- I loved them. The shrimp cocktail had this nice seasoning on it and their crab dip was fantastic, not a cheesy milky mess like a lot of crab dips I've tried. read more

Came to get some dinner with a friend. Absolutely loved the crab dip and watermelon salad. So simple but so fresh. This was also a really good lobster roll. The roll itself was on the smaller side but was stuffed nicely with meat. I also liked that this lobster salad version had some creamy bits but also some texture and chunky pieces. I don't have a wide range of experience when it comes to mussels but I did really enjoy these and their accompanied sauce. For some reason when we dined in the restaurant itself was quite hot, I'm not sure if the A/C wasn't working or on that day so it was slightly stuffy in here. Overall the atmosphere is quite cute though and I thought the service was nice and helpful. read more

This place is cute. It was surprisingly empty on a Sunday at noon, and the reservation wasn't too difficult to make. The inside isn't too large but they offer outdoor seating as well. The interior has a strong nautical sense, which is understandable, given their extensive raw bar. I had their burger for brunch, and it was decent. It wasn't the best burger I've ever had. It was definitely on the saltier side, but the portion size was good, the fries were crispy, and I enjoyed the sauce it came with. I am a huge hot sauce fan, so I liked their green and red hot sauces that were on every table. Everyone was very nice here as well! I enjoyed my experience overall. read more
