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.

    We had a great Anniversary Dinner at Jeffrey’s. The service at the bar and with our server, Natalie, was outstanding and made for a great evening.

    The steak was better in the past. I found the bone in ribeye to be over salted and tougher than I would expect for the price. Service was poor: it was a romantic birthday dinner for my girlfriend and the server never asked about the occasion and did not make the night special. Most irritating was that at the end of the night when we were deep in conversation, no fewer than five different servers interrupted us to ask if they could clear our plates when we were clearly still eating. It was obnoxious and killed the mood. It was never our actual server who did it, just random bus boys. It was so bad that I felt like making a sign saying “go away.”

    The truffle deviled eggs were melt in your mouth. Tartare, hamachi, bibb salad and bar steak all phenomenal.

    One of the best dining experiences I have had in the Austin area. The food was exceptional, drinks were perfection - classic and well made, and the service and ambience were delightful. An incredible way to spend a birthday!
