"The first thing you’ll notice about Jeffrey’s is that it feels remarkably cozy. A wood-paneled hallway leads to an open but intimate dining room filled with long rows of red leather booths, decorated with dark green walls and stacks of old books. Start with truffled deviled eggs and fried gulf oysters, order a dry-aged steak to share, then finish with a chocolate soufflé. They take about 20 minutes, which will give you plenty of time to treat yourself to a digestif or one last drink off the martini cart—a by-request, tableside cocktail experience with definite James Bond vibes. A table at Jeffrey’s isn’t too difficult to get if you’re OK with dining early or late, but if you want to secure a prime time spot on a Friday or a Saturday night, you’ll want to plan a solid two months in advance when reservations get released. You can also usually grab a seat at the bar if you show up early, where you’ll also unlock access to the bar menu, which includes a very good pan-seared steak." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"This Clarksville restaurant is a classic for a reason — every detail feels considered, right down to the show-stopping desserts. Along with steaks, martinis, and a lengthy wine list, the kitchen takes souffles seriously, with seasonal variations worth the wait. Occasionally, a baked Alaska appears on the menu, flambeed tableside with layers like blood orange thyme sorbet and Grand Marnier — rich, dramatic, and a must-order. Inside, the dining room and bar both exude timeless luxury." - Darcie Duttweiler
"A cornerstone of Austin’s fine dining scene, Jeffrey’s in Clarksville is known for its impeccable service, elegant ambiance, and expertly prepared steaks and seafood. For private events, the restaurant offers two distinct and equally refined settings. The Wine Cellar, an intimate space with wood-paneled walls and its wine stash, is great for small, formal dinners. Upstairs, the Apartment feels like a luxurious in-town flat with plush furnishings, artful lighting, and space for larger family-style events — all with steakhouse-level cuisine and top-tier service." - Darcie Duttweiler
"Risotto, caviar, and high-quality steaks are highlights of the fine-dining menu at this upscale Clarksville restaurant, which is open until 11 p.m. Bonus: there’s an all-night happy hour on Mondays, too, which includes 25 percent off bar food and wine glasses in the swanky lounge. For those indulging in the dining room, save room (and time) for a soufflé dessert." - Darcie Duttweiler
"Jeffrey’s is a swanky steakhouse that feels like it could have been the backdrop to that Great Gatsby meme where Leonardo DiCaprio is giving you a personal toast. It’s the type of place where you’ll see caviar, truffles, and foie gras peppered across the menu, and where you’ll also find a martini cart rolling through the dining room for tableside fanfare. Finish off a celebratory meal with one, or just pop by the bar and order one of the 11 variations off the dedicated martini menu to pretend like you’re Leo." - nicolai mccrary
