Jeffrey's opened in 1975 in Austin's Clarksville neighborhood, founded by Ron and Peggy Weiss and Jeff Weinberger as a simple neighborhood café. MML Hospitality reimagined and renovated the space in 2013, and under Executive Chef Mark McCain it grew into a full fine-dining operation with multiple dining rooms, a bar and lounge, and private dining spaces — including the Napoleon Room, set inside the wine cellar, and The Apartment, a residential-style room above the main dining room.
The kitchen centers on wood-fired dry-aged steaks alongside French-American classics and seasonal specialties. Popovers, mousseline, creamed spinach, Dover sole, Brussels sprouts, and duck are among the dishes regularly mentioned by diners, with a Meyer lemon cake among the dessert options. The restaurant is known for one of the state's deepest wine lists.
Michelin has included Jeffrey's on its Selected list each year from 2024 through 2026, and the restaurant was a James Beard Foundation Outstanding Service semifinalist in 2008.
