Best Contemporary French American Restaurants in Downtown

I have never had a bad meal at Wink, and I'm sure I never will! Every course was impeccable - fresh, tasty, and interesting. The service is always wonderful and the wine list is stellar! No better place in Austin to go for a quick bit or to celebrate a special event.

To the entire Jeffrey's team, with a million thanks for making my son's 18th birthday, back in our hometown after SO many years on the road, feel like a return to people and place that we both will remember forEVER. Last night each detail came to us with such organic and yet intentional grace, from the handwritten birthday message for my son on a Jeffrey's postcard, resting against a lovely bouquet of locally sourced flora, to Sergio's completely unscripted and genuine exchange with us throughout the meal. The menu is still everything we love about Jeffrey's (elevated, nuanced with surprising and meaningful flavor notes), and the ambiance was upbeat and full of energy and joy without being overbearing or a deterrent to intimate conversation at the table. We did note that we lost our primary server, Sterling, during the course of our experience, but Sergio made up for this absence with such gusto and charm that we both gave him a big hug upon our departure and will remember to request time with him when we return, which will be quite soon now that we are back home. My professionial efforts, as a lux and super lux hospitality consultant and quality professional, working with teams, leaders, hoteliers, collections and brands globally, puts me in close proximity to so many incredible products and programs in this dynamic world of ours, and with my boy by my side for all, it has amounted to countless sensoriial touchpoints and cullinary magic over many, many years. That my son and I both left last night's experience with such joy in our hearts and appreciation for Jeffery's and the entire team with a huge pronouncement from my son at the end of the evening that: there is NOWHERE on earth he would rather be, means a great deal coming from him. And I am one happy Mama, too. Thank you, all, for everything you do day in and day out to bring the energy and creativity to our town and to each and every guest who gets to experience time with you all. We are so proud of you.

Love this place for business or pleasure ! Nice that they have breakfast lunch and dinner.

When we first arrived there was no one to greet us, we stood there for 12 mins without a peep. I really think the staff that passed by could have stopped and said hello welcome in, someone will be with you shortly. The menu was easy to read and flowed well. The coffee was great, the pancakes were amazing, bacon was cooked perfectly. Our waiter was pleasant and made great recommendations.

An amazing culinary experience! It was a one of a kind experience being so close to chef Anthony. His artistic abilities with flavors is second to none.
