About this restaurant

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

    My wife and I had our fourth excellent meal at Jeffrey's, this time celebrating our 12th wedding anniversary. The food was fantastic and the service impeccable, as always. We absolutely love this restaurant.

    This was a unique experience I would say come for the main dish and sides… leave everything else alone. Tried three appetizers Deviled Eggs (4.25/5) delicious but it’s technically just one egg split in two but the truffle is what you’re paying for. Fried Oysters (1/5) they’re too sweet not savory at all and there’s an apple cider vinegar component that smells bad and lacking in flavor. Diver Scallops (2/5) The dish is too busy. The scallops could be perfect if the dish weren’t so preoccupied with multiple additional ingredients. Main Course Got the 32 day dry aged bone in NY Strip. (8.75/10) delicious all around incredible flavor excellent presentation. Not a huge fan of sauces but being given four options was a nice touch. Creamed spinach (8/10) slightly spicy very flavor forward not too creamy. Brussels Sprouts (8/10) good flavor nice crunch a little too sweet but good.

    Every single dish was absolutely remarkable. We had the deviled eggs, scallops, short rib, mashed potatoes, broccolini, and brussel sprouts. The whole thing was an EXPERIENCE. Delicious flavors and perfectly cooked. Service was outstanding! Highly highly recommend!!!

    Due to no fault of the restaurant, our experience tonight was marred by a table of rude and loud women, who continued to disturb others even after being asked to speak more quietly. Very unusual at Jeffrey’s!
