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.

    Our server Colin was an absolute joy. The food and drinks exceeded my expectations! And I will be thinking about that bread service for a very long time.

    Amazing food, service and experience. Definitely an old school, classic steakhouse vibe. Not going to sugar coat it, the bill was quite big, but I have no regrets. Worth every penny.

    To the entire Jeffrey's team, with a million thanks for making my son's 18th birthday, back in our hometown after SO many years on the road, feel like a return to people and place that we both will remember forEVER. Last night each detail came to us with such organic and yet intentional grace, from the handwritten birthday message for my son on a Jeffrey's postcard, resting against a lovely bouquet of locally sourced flora, to Sergio's completely unscripted and genuine exchange with us throughout the meal. The menu is still everything we love about Jeffrey's (elevated, nuanced with surprising and meaningful flavor notes), and the ambiance was upbeat and full of energy and joy without being overbearing or a deterrent to intimate conversation at the table. We did note that we lost our primary server, Sterling, during the course of our experience, but Sergio made up for this absence with such gusto and charm that we both gave him a big hug upon our departure and will remember to request time with him when we return, which will be quite soon now that we are back home. My professionial efforts, as a lux and super lux hospitality consultant and quality professional, working with teams, leaders, hoteliers, collections and brands globally, puts me in close proximity to so many incredible products and programs in this dynamic world of ours, and with my boy by my side for all, it has amounted to countless sensoriial touchpoints and cullinary magic over many, many years. That my son and I both left last night's experience with such joy in our hearts and appreciation for Jeffery's and the entire team with a huge pronouncement from my son at the end of the evening that: there is NOWHERE on earth he would rather be, means a great deal coming from him. And I am one happy Mama, too. Thank you, all, for everything you do day in and day out to bring the energy and creativity to our town and to each and every guest who gets to experience time with you all. We are so proud of you.

    Food and service was very good but the wine prices were over the top. My wife had a California carneros chardonney at $34 for a 6 oz pour and I had a sauvignon blanc at $32 or $33 for a 6 oz pour. I would love to know what Jeffrey's pays for both bottles. Even if they pay $40/bottle that is probably a 5 times mark up. Jeffrey's should be satisfied with a 3 times mark up. Excellent Austin restaurants like Jeffrey's are getting carried away with their wine prices.

    Wonderful evening. Great service. Wonderful food! What more could you ask for! Only teeny little detail missed is a chilled glass for my martini. It makes a huge difference. Other than that it was excellent.
