My husband and I had not been to Jeffery’s in many years so decided on it for our date night. First, if you want to eat at Jeffery’s (between 6-830pm) you’ll need to make a reservation several weeks in advance. I don’t know if it’s that popular or if they hold tables back for walk-ins. The service was great, attentive but not overly bothersome. However, very single person who approached our table (probably 4 different people) spoke so quietly that I could barely hear what they were saying. There is music but it’s a perfect level; I just think the staff is very soft spoken. The food was delicious; every single thing we ate was amazing. We shared the deviled eggs, Ceasar salad, hamachi, ribeye, pomme puree, and the basked Alaska. I would have gotten the chocolate soufflé but I wasn’t aware of it until it was too late (in the evening). The basked Alaska was our least favorite item but every other item was just perfect. The pomme puree was probably the best potato I’ve ever eaten!!! We would love to go to Jeffery’s weekly but it’s SO expensive. Plan on a dinner for two bring $300-400 plus gratuity. We will save Jeffery’s for special occasions only.
