About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
  • Great for fine wines
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.

    This is the best restaurant I have been to in Austin. We had Escargot, Tomato Martinis, Crème Brûlée, Ribeye, Snapper, and a few other things and every single thing was perfect. The service was incredible too. We loved the decor and the vibe. I cannot wait to go back :)

    Everything was absolutely perfect - the service as top notch and the food was fantastic. This is one of the best restaurants in the country, in my humble opinion.

    Jeffrey’s never disappoints! The service and attention to detail are always top-notch. My husband had the filet prepared “Pittsburgh” style, and it was cooked to perfection. Our pre-dinner cocktails were also absolutely delicious.

    Carlos and Zack were so brilliant! Carlos was the perfect host from start to finish, offering suggestions and making our experience special. He really went above and beyond and was so easy to talk to. I took my gf here to celebrate her film being selected for a film festival and they made sure to make it feel like a celebration. The food and ambiance are always top tier. You can tell every single aspect of the place is carefully curated. I love the candlelight and comfortable seating. And the extensive wine list (even tho I always just get bubbles lol) I’ve come here for my birthday before. Also a great place for a solo date. Safe to say it’s one of my favorite places. I wish the croquettes came with at least 4 cause they are so good. I could eat 10 of them. Lol Besides that everything is worth every penny. Also the music is always so nice. It’s like they have my playlist. Immaculate. Truly. I’ll be back soon. (:
