About this restaurant

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

    Everything was spectacular! Expensive, but worth it! Huge hit to celebrate my wife’s birthday with our daughter and friends. We will definitely be back!

    The service and waitress were absolutely fantastic! The bread and sides were incredible too! The only thing I could have wished for was a bit more flavor in the steak. It was cooked to the perfect temperature and looked absolutely delicious, but it just lacked a bit of punch. Oh, and I should mention that it was cooked on a wood fire, which gave it a smoky flavor, but it was a bit too woody for our taste.

    Update: The restaurant did reach out to us to apologize and gave us a partial refund, so that was appreciated. It’s a beautiful restaurant and I’m sure our experience is not a typical experience. For the amount of money we spent here, we should have had a 5 star experience but sadly that was not the case. $28 for a half glass of wine? No thanks. Had the snapper and filet. Food was just okay. My husband was served his lobster bisque without a spoon? We were seated in a dark corner and it was very warm. The restaurant was full so it was very noisy. Wouldn’t come back.

    We believe the waiter forgot to put our order in the kitchen. (Derek) We waited over an hour for our entrees to arrive. We were never offered more drinks or provided an explanation of the menu. Diners around us arrived after us and enjoyed a full meal before our entrees ever arrived. Very disappointed in the service for a restaurant with this reputation.
