What People Are Saying About Jeffrey's Restaurant

In Short – A dim, cozy and clubby interior houses an upscale clientele. Regular patrons are greeted at the door by name by the friendly, efficiently unobtrusive staff. On any given night, you might dine a few tables over from Geena Davis, Henry Kissinger or George W. Bush. Starters include sesame-mushroom crepes and crispy oysters on yucca-root chips with habanero-honey aioli. There's also tender veal osso buco and beef tenderloin with mustard-peppercorn sauce.

Gourmet Romance

by penelopem at Citysearch

I went to Jeffrey's on a date. Despite how busy the restaurant was, we still felt an intimate atmosphere. Every small plate and entree sounded delicious, but, alas, we didn't have enough room in our stomachs for everything. We ordered with the five-course tasting menu (short ribs, endive salad, scallops, veal, and chocolate temperance), crab cake, steak tartare, oysters octavia, and red snapper. All of the dishes were quite tasty, but my favorites are the red snapper (hands down), endive salad and short ribs. My boyfriend loves the steak tartare & its wonderfully paired herb salad. We definitely reccomend Jeffrey's for foodies, and especially romantic evenings!

  • Pros: intricately tasty dishes
  • Cons: dishes were not always explained thoroughly upon delivery

Portions way too small

by ygs6 at Citysearch

While I found the atmosphere above average and the food delicious, the portions are tiny and not worth the price. I would be happy to pay above average prices if I felt that the portions were adequate. We were with a group party and some of people were going to stop and pick up a burger on the way home. At $65 price tag per person no one should have left hungry!!

  • Pros: ambiance
  • Cons: portion size
