    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!!!

    Another exquisite visit to Uchi. The service was fabulous from the moment we walked in. We let our server Jessica give us some guidance on our menu for the evening, and her recommendations did not disappoint. The sake tom kha was delicious, with a flavor packed tom kha reduction. We also had an ocean trout nigiri on special that was so delicious, we ordered seconds. We’ll be back!
