    Jeffrey’s is the finest overall dining experience in Austin for classic beautiful food, outstanding service, and an incredible wine selection (albeit a pricey but outstanding selection). Each offering is well prepared and well presented. The pork belly duck rillettes are little bites of luscious tasty apps, the escargot was delightful and not the classic thick butter garlic but a fresh presentation of the seafood tidbit with fresh herbs on puff pastry. We had the venison, which was delicious and perfectly medium to dark pink, and a lighter not gamey taste with a perfect sauce and red cabbage as in old world game. Potatoes were yummy but the Brussels sprouts were possibly the best we ever had: perfectly crisp and light in the center. Service was exceptional-attentive, professional yet friendly, knowledgeable and just delightful. Thanks! This why we keep coming back!!!

    I am convinced this is the best restaurant in Austin. We have been here twice and both times nothing missed at all. The food is prepared at 3 star Michelin level, and the chef is brave enough to tie food groups together that you would have never expected to be compliments of each other. The waiters are in another league of their own whenever compared to other wait staffs. They are incredibly knowledgeable of their menu, they are prompt, and most importantly they make you feel comfortable in their restaurant. It’s clear that the entire staff has a passion for the restaurant and serving people the most amazing food possible.
