Jeffrey's Restaurant & Bar has been an Austin fine dining institution since 1975. In 2012 the restaurant closed for a major renovation and was reopened by McGuire Moorman Lambert Hospitality. The legendary restaurant, nestled in the Clarksville neighborhood just west of downtown, features a lively bar and three distinct dining rooms. The menus, from executive chef Mark McCain, features dry-aged prime steaks, updated classic fine dining, and locally sourced produce. The award-winning wine list, one of the largest and most diverse in Texas, features highly-sought after vintages from Old and New World producers. Private dining in the Napoleon Room and The Apartment is available for special events. Valet service is offered.

The charming neighborhood location, old world service & multiple private dining options make Jeffrey's a true Austin gem. Jeffrey's was named “Top 10 Best New Restaurants” in the country by Bon Appetit magazine in 2013.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Mark McCain

From the OpenTable editors: Woodfired steaks, caviar service, and martini carts set the stage at this legendary restaurant that’s been an Austin mainstay since 1975. A James Beard semifinalist nod and a spot on the coveted World's 101 Best Steak Restaurants list in 2024 has only reinforced how good this stunner remains decades on. Settle in for a memorable evening in one of the three different dining rooms, each with their own vibe from red leather booths to a taxidermied antelope head.

    Brought my bf here for Xmas dinner He enjoyed his sirloin I don't eat red meat, got the snapper extremely small portion for 56 bucks. They bought it out in a paper machete soupy mess. The sides are "family style" but are enough for one person. Chocolate souffle was good and overall the staff was great As far as food I was disappointed and still hungry lol

    Unbelievable. Every moment was special and every flavor built upon the last. Having celiac, they made the experience seamless and I felt perfect after. Very full and perfect. Loved the deviled eggs, beef tartare, lobster bisque, Caesar, wagyu filet, the chocolate dessert, and the crème brûlée 🍮 Thank you for impeccable service and care.

    Great food and wine selection . Service very slow and we had to keep asking for bread and our salad that was ready in the kitchen but never delivered . Anyway worth the experience of a very good restaurant .

    We frequent Jeffrey’s and always enjoy the experience whether for an event or just the two of us. This time, in an effort to be more conscious of what I put in my body, I asked about the use of seed oil and was informed the salad dressings, including Caesar, contained canola oil. I was surprised that such a high end kitchen would use such a cheap industrial oil. I expected to hear all about the beautiful olive oil that is specially sourced. Disappointing and perhaps indicative of other ingredients?

    The cocktails and food were excellent and the service at Jeffrey’s is second to none in Austin. The scallops, and lobster bisque were exceptional. However, the NY strip I ordered was disappointing. The steak had little to no salt and there was a large knot running through the whole length of the steak making 1/3 of the cut impossible to chew. My wife ordered the filet and it was significantly better.

    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!!!
