Jeffrey's Austin Reviews
I've been so excited to come to Jeffrey's, and then when I
I've been so excited to come to Jeffrey's, and then when I saw it recently named one of the best steakhouses in America, I was worried my expecations would be too high and I would be disappointed. I am happy to say this is one of the rare occasions I was absolutely blown away by a restaurant experience. It was such a delightful evening. Ambiance, service, food, vibe, drinks. I like the area - one of those charming little Austin areas and pulled up - valet guys were super nice and had a good convo with one about celsius beverages. The restaurant itself - not just a big open space, but separate rooms; tastefully decorated: like you can tell it's a high end experience, but not stuffy and not like over the top steakhouse vibe - like a fantastic date night type restaurant. Our server captain, Harold was great. He was super nice, knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive. One of my favorite thing about the menu was the different ranches you can get your steak from - had a good convo with Harold about it. I obviously wanted to make sure I hit the Texas ranch and was okay with a "northwest ranch" once I knew that would also entail Texas and cool places like Montana. But backing up - I'm sure many others have commented on the bread - it was like a flaky croissant like dinner roll - incredible. Appetizers and such were almost impossible to pick because there are so many I want to try but we had to show restraint. After all, this night was really about one thing: CARNE! We went with the scallops and I've never had such a wonderful scallop in my life. I'm not a mushroom guy but the mushrooms in the dish were delicious. Now, on to the steak - we went with the Texas ranch ribeye and the Northwest ranch filet. I think my reaction was something of saying "My god do I love Texas." Only in Texas can you get such an incredible steak with a hint of Texas magic bbq flavoring on the crust! (Also have to say the sauces were really good and fun, and happy they didn't nickel and dime for them. Caveat: obviously they weren't used for the steak). Now, if I have to choose, I would go with the ribeye again over the filet (which was actually cheaper). When you have one bite of the filet and then the ribeye, while both being wonderful..that Texas ribeye was a different level. Good wines by the glass (and a crazy bottle selection). Again, Harold and his staff were great and just elevated the entire evening. Yes, the restaurant is very expensive. But we walked out of there thinking we had such a wonderful evening, were talking about how he wanted to come back and maybe even sit at the bar and just have a drink and some of their apps. From now on, if someone wants a nice experience in Austin, I am recommending Jeffrey's and can't wait to go back and would absolutely love to take friends/family visiting. I really love Texas, and experiences like Jeffrey's only reinforce that view. I rank it right up there as a top restaurant I've ever been to.
Jeffrey's is a very well-managed restaurant with excellent
Jeffrey's is a very well-managed restaurant with excellent food. The decor is pleasant and welcoming. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to please. All of this comes at a rather frightful price. Two small crab and sesame beignets are $16. I had duck breast for $58. The only other thing on the plate other than the huckleberry-pepper sauce was a smear of celery root. My wife had snapper in papillote. Again, not much there other than the fish for $54. Bottom line? This is a very good restaurant with imaginative food, but it's hard not to feel that the prices are wildly inflated.
Jeffrey's was one of the best steakhouses I have ever had
Jeffrey's was one of the best steakhouses I have ever had the pleasure of eating at, I came with my boyfriend to celebrate his birthday and it was wonderful. The service was on point from beginning to end as we were greeted upon arrival and had our own waiter for the stay. They start with a nice warm bread and butter, which was a nice way to start the meal. My boyfriend picked one of the ribeyes for his entree with bΓ©arnaise sauce and I picked the duck breast. His steak was excellently cooked and my duck was suburb, I love duck but this was probably the best I ever had. My mouth is watering just writing this now. We then had the chocolate soufflΓ© to finish off the meal. The whole dinner was exceptional from start to finish and the restaurant offered an intimate, sweet space for a special meal.
4 of us had dinner for the first time tonight at Jeffrey's
4 of us had dinner for the first time tonight at Jeffrey's and it became clear why they made #25 of the top 100 steakhouses in the WORLD. It did not disappoint. I had the "perfect" martini it was wonderful. Followed by the English milk tea which had such a great flavor but was sweet enough to where only one would be needed. Most notable must haves - the truffled deviled eggs, they come two per order and we ended up getting 4 orders. The tarts of beef tartare had an amazing flavor. The little gem Caesar salad was incredible with a zesty flavor along with some cracked pepper, I've never had another Caesar salad like it. I got the 12oz New York strip, 2 others ordered the 16oz ribeyes and the other person ordered the 8oz filet. All steaks were cooked to perfection and definitely didn't need sauce add ons, however our server so kindly gave us a complimentary order of each sauce due to them not having the original steak we wanted to order (42oz porterhouse) they had just sold the last one of the evening by the time we ordered. But the chimichurri and garlic confit sauce were amazing! My husband really enjoyed the Jeffrey's steak sauce and we would definitely order them at our next visit to pair with our steaks. What unexpectedly stole the show for me was the creamed spinach. I couldn't eaten the whole serving by myself. The flavor was out of this world and was by far our favorite side dish. We also ordered the Yukon gold pomme purre, they were creamy and delicious, steak fries were good but nothing super special. For dessert we had the chocolate soufflΓ© and the ice cream that came with it had such a unique and delicious flavor. We also had the Baked Alaska and wow, that was the definitely the winner and was an amazing take on a banana foster like dessert. We also had a latte with our dessert that was just another cherry on top of the whole dinner experience. It was truly the best meal we've ever had and we are Austin natives. Spend your money here! The food quality and service is well worth it. Shout out to our amazing server Becca who made the whole evening the best experience we could've had. We will definitely make many more memories at Jeffrey's!
4.5:5 We had a great dinner here. It was our first visit
4.5:5 We had a great dinner here. It was our first visit despite living here for 16 years. I like the multi-room setup rather than the typical large loud open spaces most places nowadays have. The service was really mindful--they checked up on you but weren't intrusive. We had the hamachi carpaciao which was good but not great. The hazelnut was a nice complement but it wasn't anything special. Their filet and pork chop were fantastic and cooked to perfection. We got a variety of sauces (Jeffrey's, bernaise, chimichurri, garlic aioli) but the meat was seasoned well enough to not really need sauces. We had a mango guava jelly and chocolate caramel to end the meal and both of those were fantastic. I'd recommend Jeffrey's for a fancy dinner out!
Jeffreys is not messing around when it comes to an
Jeffreys is not messing around when it comes to an exquisite dining experience. Very nice steak house with an attentive staff. Probably the best service I've ever had. Trust me when I say you will not be running out of water ever, they're attentively checking each table to make sure everyone is having a good experience, change plates and cutlery after every dish, and super helpful with questions. Food was really good. Never had truffled deviled eggs before and they smacked. Steak also was seasoned really well and had this crazy smoky flavor that I've never experienced before. I recommend adding one of their many sauces to choose from! We did garlic confit and rosemary butter and chimichurri sauce which did not disappoint. We also ordered scallops which had incredible flavor. Immaculate vibes. Thanks again for an experience I won't forget and my wallet won't forget either haha
Ate there Monday night.
Food was fabulous and service great. Great way to celebrate our anniversary.
We recently dined at Jeffrey's to celebrate our 40th
We recently dined at Jeffrey's to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. We savored the entire Jeffrey's experience - atmosphere, food, service and even surrounding fellow diners with whom we shared laughs. There was one minor snafu. Yet, how the Jeffery's management/leadership team responded - swiftly, genuinely, thoughtfully and generously - has been over whelming. A standing ovation to Jovana, David and the team they lead. Very much looking forward to our next visit there. Cheers!
We just had the most excellent dining experience at
We just had the most excellent dining experience at Jeffries tonight. The food was all superb! Best filet ever, wonderful wine, great appetizers, salads and vegetables. And out of this world chocolate souffle and bananas foster baked Alaska! The service was impeccable, and the restaurant was beautiful, and packed, very lovely and lively. Best dining we've gad in a long time and we will definitely be back. Special thanks to the kitchen, our server Josh, and especially to Lou, Laura and Lucy for gifting this wonderful 50th Aniversary Dinner to us! We are big Jeffries fans now!
Aside from the lovely ambiance ~ moody, inviting as you
Aside from the lovely ambiance ~ moody, inviting as you could be in someone's study with comfy chairs , booths plus pillows for us gals who need a back support ~ We sat in the bar , our server Caleb was skilled in addressing each of us (not just my husband!) then acknowledging us. He knew the menu and was willing to make recommendations of food, drinks & wine if needed. We enjoyed the deviled eggs & ham & cheese croquettes along with cocktails a Ketel 1 martini and the "MOST" delisssh Milk Punch I HAVE EVER HAD So DELISSH I ordered another Dinner was shared the Little Gem Caesar Salad + the HALIBUT Seriously both these choices are worthy of "licking the plate " each well ' balanced & seasoned perfectly We have been to Jeffrey's b4, in the dining room so we knew what to expect & we were NOT DISAPPOINTED Austin is a foodie town, Jeffries is possibly THE BEST food we had here
A close friend and I decided to give Jeddery's a try after
A close friend and I decided to give Jeddery's a try after enjoying other nearby steak and seafood options. My friend ordered a seafood appetizer that he loved. The ambience was very nice and it felt like we were dining in someone's cozy home. The service was outstanding and there were multiple waiters assisting us! Be sure not to fill up on their delicious home cooked bread, it was addictive! For our main courses I selected the New York strip and the smoked flavor was outstanding and one of the best steaks that I've ever had. My friend went with the Rib Eye and he also loved it! Jeffrey's has a fantastic wine menu and we enjoyed a nice cabernet with our meal. I highly recommend Jeffrey's, it is one of our new favs!
The service was insanely good! The food was great too! We
The service was insanely good! The food was great too! We got the crab beignets, bottle of wine, steak fries, lobster bisque, and 14 ounce ribeye. Everything was great! I would try the Brussels sprouts instead of the fries next time tho. The ambiance is beautiful but extremely dark lol
My partner and I came here for our anniversary and enjoyed
My partner and I came here for our anniversary and enjoyed the experience. The service at Jeffrey's was incredible and detail-oriented. Our server was so kind and enthusiastic about our visit and took the time to explain things on the menu to us. I tried escargot for the first time which did not disappoint and omgosh their table bread is so fluffy and good! The restaurant's ambiance is fancy and the interior decor was lovely.
I have been going to Jeffrey's for more than 20 years.
Every time I have been taken away by the taste
love sitting at the bar here.
great food and ambience. And exceptional service by Lindsey!
The ambiance is romantic.
The dining room is dimly lit. I enjoyed the scallops for an appetizer. They were perfectly cooked. I had the 8 oz center cut tenderloin filet with Yukon gold potatoes and creamed spinach. The side portion of potatoes was rather small to share. The steak and garlic butter were delicious. It paired well with Cabernet Sauvignon. The servers were attentive and friendly. I would recommend eating at Jeffrey's for a romantic date night or celebratory dinner.
This place is a bit pricey, but the food is amazing and you
This place is a bit pricey, but the food is amazing and you definitely get high quality service.
Hands down the best restaurant in Austin.
Came here for our anniversary once and it is now a tradition every year. They never disappoint!
Cozy little spot with dim lights and a fireplace.
We sat at the bar which was perfect for the two of us. Ordered the himachi which was incredible. Split the bar steak which was cooked to perfection and finished dinner off with the baked Alaska. So good! Christian was fantastic and made us feel welcome and took great care of us. Definitely recommend
Top notch service, probably the best I've ever had.
The food is amazing and you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Excellent place to splurge and indulge.
Very good, but.....
excellent food and service....however, noise and closeness of tables detracted from the experience. complimentary valet service was a nice touch.
Overrated and Overpriced
Went to Jeffrey's for my husband's birthday. We hadn't been in many years, and the last time there, we were celebrating our anniversary. For what should be a Special Occasion restaurant, I was surprised by the number of people (including women) with jeans on. Certainly didn't see that at the top notch restaurants we had just visited in Atlanta. Overall, I give this restaurant 3.5 stars. It is Very Overpriced for what you get. The appetizer selection was disappointing, but we ordered the fried oysters. They were surprisingly light for being fried, but also small, plus they had a sauce on them I didn't like. My husband ordered the 6 oz. filet priced at $65......which is ridiculous! Best steak I have ever had was at Geronimo in Santa Fe which is a far better restaurant. However, my husband said it was very good. I had the braised short rib.........yes, just one. It was very good, but it came with some cannelloni which was not that great. We also had the spinach gratin which was very good. The service was fantastic, but we were never offered ground pepper which is odd. All in all, this restaurant is overrated and overpriced. Won't be back.
Sophisticated Steak Eatery
This elegant, fine dining restaurant is for serious steak eaters plus those of us who prefer not to eat steak! The two steak eaters were very satisfied with their choices and it was difficult for them to finish their meals. The steak was grilled just right and the sauce choices were varied and delicious. The other two options were also enjoyed immensely, especially the Gulf Snapper that was cooked in parchment together with Thai vegetables, lump crab, trumpet mushrooms and the most amazing sauce I have ever tasted! At the end of my meal, I discreetly used a straw to sip up the last of the sauce! The scallops were the fourth choice, equally well prepared. Reservations are a must.
With seeking out away from the usual chains
Hi end, second to non service coupled with excellent food and great drinks choice. Food was excellent with southern twist. Steaks were excellent and cooked as they should be. Try the spinach with any main.
Posh fine dining since 1975
Yes, Virginia, you can find something besides Texas-style barbecue restaurants in Austin. For fine dining and an upscale cuisine of dry-aged prime beef and French American classics, reserve a table in one of the three distinct dining rooms at Jeffrey's, a legendary culinary icon since 1975. Located at 1204 West Lynn Street, west of downtown Austin, in the Clarksville neighborhood, it offers a posh setting with complementary valet parking and a lively bar that features ice-cold martinis. Open from 4:30 to 11 daily, Jeffrey's is the epitome of fine dining in the Old West. For starters, my wife and I had truffled deviled eggs, lobster bisque, Nantucket Bay scallops and Little Gem Caesar Salad with white anchovy, parmigiano reggiano and sourdough bread crumbs. For an entree, my wife chose Dover Sole with scallop mousseline, leeks, sorrel caper leaves, meyer lemon and dulce butter sauce with creamed spinach gratin. I flipped coin. Which steak do I prefer? I finally settled on a 12-ounce Nieman Ranch USDA prime New York strip with the house's steak sauce, Yukon Gold pommes puree and seared mushrooms with garlic and white wine. For dessert, we shared a chocolate souffle with rose caramel and coffee ice cream and a buttermilk creme caramel with strawberries, lemon cotton cake and pink peppercorns. Proof that there is always room for a first-class steakhouse, no matter where you are in this world.
Great service.
Very lively ambiance although the tables are a bit close together. Food:Truffle deviled eggs - delicious Foie gras candy bites - ok; couldn't taste much of the foie gras8oz steak - very goodLamb chops - a little gamey but very goodDulce de leche SoufflΓ© - a bit too sweet for me.
First time at Jeffrey's, and I'm very impressed.
From the minute you walk in the door you know you are in a fine dining establishment. Food was amazing. One of the best steaks I've ever had. Very extensive wine list. Service was also excellent. Easily in my top 3 of all restaurants in Austin.
Decided to finally give Jeffrey's a visit.
Truffled Deviled eggs: fine, think the truffle does kind of over power the egg but still solid.King crab avocado toast: I liked the crab and avocado mixture, didn't like the toast as it was really hard. Lobster bisque: needed salt, wasn't heavy but felt it lacked seasoning. Steak fries: most forgettable item we ordered. Brussel sprouts- amazing, very good flavor and liked the sauce underneath. Popovers with Ricotta- the best thing we ate during our visit. The bread was soft and the ricotta was sweet but accompanied the popover so well. Bone in Dry Aged Ribeye: good but really fatty and super expensive for what it was. Overall, I definitely don't think you get your money's worth as any big chain steakhouse like Perry's or Flemings will give you just as good of a meal for probably half of what I paid here. Nothing was bad by any means but these prices are high and when I remember the bread and brussel sprouts more than the steak that's an issue for me. The seating can also be hit or miss as one side of the restaurant is super loud and was fortunate we didn't get placed there. Don't want to forget about the service. The service was outstanding, took care of us the entire night. Decent experience but a solid one and done for me.
Very elegant upscale restaurant in a residential
Very elegant upscale restaurant in a residential neighborhood in Austin. Sophisticated and lively vibe. Elegant trendy crowd. Food exceeded expectations. I ordered the surf and turf. It was veal and lobster. I ordered dessert. The barmaid steered me toward the chocolate dessert which was very rich. I wish I ordered differently because it was too filling after the rich entree. Good wine by the glass. Expensive.
Great visit, great food, incredible service
Very good food and incredible service. Devils eggs, Carpaccio, Caesar Salad, Beef Short Rob, Brussels sprouts, Yukon potatoes, and mushrooms - all recommended by the waiter, all great. Wine list is 55 pages of the top of the line but expensive.
Food: everything was delicious.
Overall serving sizes were ample for an upscale restaurant. We both left stuffed!! Service: service was amazing. We came to Jeffrey's to celebrate our anniversary and everyone from the host to our server made a point of congratulating us. They had a card at the table and complimentary champagne. There were 2 servers that were really on top of it and treated us well. Ambiance: it's what you'd expect from a fine restaurant. Tables were spaced so you didn't feel on top of each other. Pretty, fresh flowers arrangements everywhere.
Their 25% off bar menu on Mondays was what drew me in! I
Their 25% off bar menu on Mondays was what drew me in! I realize the deal used to be sweeter at 50% off but it is what it is. This deal is for seats booked for their bar/lounge area and calling in seems to be the only way to book this area. I can see myself returning over and over again for this!My husband and I booked for our anniversary and had superb experience. The lounge, despite being at first visibly cramped and dimly lit, is intimate and cozy once seated. Our waitress brought us complimentary mocktails (per our preference) to celebrate. We ordered the deviled eggs, fried oysters, hamachi, bar steak, wagyu, souffle, dessert. We requested popovers as well, which they did not charge for. Our tab came out to be $140 before tip which I thought was on par for the incredible food and service, attention to detail, and atmosphere. Parking: There's plenty of parking within walking distance in the surrounding neighborhoods. Complimentary (with tip) valet is available as well. I've also had the pleasure of attending their New Year's day brunch BUFFET. For $175, we were treated to all you can eat shucked oysters, giant shrimp, rock crab claws, their famous truffled deviled eggs, prime rib carving station, and lots of other classic goodies. Notable food mentions:Dulche de leche souffle, $16: It ate like a soup, with sparse bits of structure where it was cooked more. Our waitress kindly offered to have another one baked to our liking, but we declined as the flavor was good and the batter was cooked. I wouldn't get this again though. Bar steak, reg $42: Soft and flavorful! One of my favorite steaks ever. Served with pomme puree and fresh greens.Crispy fried oysters, reg price $23: 5 fried oysters on a bed of creamy leeks, dressed with an apple cider sauce. So balanced and tasty.
Went for a birthday celebration, and although the food was
Went for a birthday celebration, and although the food was very well made, It would have been nice if some kind of complimantry desert/coffee was offered, especially considering the high price point of the meal. None was offered but a small note saying "happy birthday".
First time eating here.
Made a reservation on a Thursday 3 hours before we decided to eat here. If you've a chance to make a reservation, I highly recommend it. Reservation was at 8:30p. Seated us within 6 mins. Wrote a nice card with "Congratulations" on it. (Celebrated being pregnant with our 3rd child) Table next to us were celebrating a birthday. Restaurant gave them one dessert on the house (restaurant chose the dessert). Left side of restaurant is noisier than right side of restaurant. Was happy to be placed on the right side where I could have a quiet conversation with my husband that we don't always get to have with our kids being around. Attentive service by all staff. They give you popovers (on the house) -- warm, soft, delicious bread. My sister told me about the popovers... about 15 mins after being seated I asked about them and server said they take about 20 mins.. she brought them out a minute later and then the table next to us received theirs quickly after they placed their order... hmmm.Highlights: popovers, Brussels sprouts, lobster (that came with the veal), short rib was cooked very well although I'm not sure what the rolled bread (not crispy/crunchy) filled with I think cheese covered in a white sauce was doing on the plate... it didn't really add anything to the short rib; definitely a filler. Caesar salad was good, but they could go lighter on the dressing. Deviled eggs were good. Husband can eat half a dz of them. I was fine with just one. Creamy with salt and a truffle on top. Mocktail with ginger syrup warmed the tummy and perfect amount of sweet. Delicious.Date night for two with drinks, apps, entrees and two sides came out to $240; with tip, $300. We would come again.
Look, I know that part of the problem is me.
I'm allergic to shellfish; I don't eat raw fish, veal, caviar, or escargot. I don't like mushrooms or truffles or duck, and I'm not a huge red meat fan. I don't care for pork restaurant dishes. I do eat lots of varied vegetables and grains, salads, and soups, and I love many fish preparations. So, that being said, I take responsibility for my pickiness, some of it health-related, some strictly personal preference.On the other hand, my husband loves red meat, and that's why we ended up celebrating his birthday at Jeffrey's the other night. A number of years ago we had eaten there, where he had "the best steak he had ever tasted." He was particularly enthusiastic about the bark, as well as the evenness of the interior of the steak. As we recall, this meal happened before Jeffrey's added Wagyu beef to the menu. So, I made reservations well in advance for his birthday and asked for a quiet romantic table (knowing the restaurant's limitations in that regard -- it's a pretty small place). We ordered the Truffled Deviled Eggs as an hors d'oeuvre. (I gave my husband my slice of the truffle.) It was fine. I could ignore the truffle flavor -- it was at least not as bad as the flavor of "truffle oil" -- ick. Note that you receive one egg (two halves). $14. Let's move on.The husband went in pretty much knowing he would order the ribeye -- the regular one, not the Wagyu. We told our server that I was allergic to shellfish (I carry an Epi-pen, to be on the safe side), and asked if the two fish preparations could be made without shellfish, or with shellfish on the side. She confirmed they could. One option was the Gulf Snapper en Papillote (lump crab, baby turnips, chanterelle mushrooms,Thai basil & lemongrass-infused carrot broth). The other option was a Sole dish with scallop mousseline, leeks and I forget what else. I decided to go with the snapper. The presentation is dramatic -- an opened puffy layer of parchment that encases the colorful dish. And the fish was cooked well (though it is quite wet since it has basically steamed, I suppose) and tasted fresh. And for the first few bites, I found it to be complex in flavor. But over time, the carrot broth (and whatever vegetable was under the fish -- fennel, perhaps?) and its ensuing sweetness just overpowered everything else. (I gave the mushrooms to my husband -- he did not like the sweetness that permeated them.) The turnips were a little crunchy. So, I suppose I should have ordered the filet, or just the Caesar salad (ugh, had an anchovy) and the crispy Brussels sprouts.Now, on to the ribeye. It had the epic bark again. But the trouble was in the quality of the meat itself, or the cut of the meat. Lots of fat, lots of gristle, and he couldn't see where the fat was on the meat to enable him to remove it. Yuck.Popovers and ricotta spread before dinner were good. Cocktails (Airmail and Piggybank) were good.Creamed spinach gratin was good, though the proportions seemed a little off -- it was INTENSELY green, but the topping was so crunchy and yummy.We looked at the dessert menu but did not want a souffle. There were only 3 other desserts, I believe, and a cheese plate. None of those really appealed to us, so we just ordered two B&Bs. They did bring us two small slices of an ice cream cake with sprinkles, which was a sweet touch. And of course, the mignardises after dinner are always a delight.The other thing about the restaurant: the dining room where we were seated (also where we were seated before) is the dining room that looks out onto West Lynn. We had probably the best table in the room -- a small round table nearest the window. It was certainly the quietest table since the others are arranged in a line next to each other. But there is something very stark and disquieting and sterile about the ambiance. One feels as if one is on display to the other diners because of the arrangement of the tables. We noticed when walking through the restaurant that the other dining rooms have nooks and twists and turns that afforded a more nuanced and convivial atmosphere.But all in all, sometimes it is best, it seems, to let great memories remain exactly that, rather than spoil them with present reality. It's not bad -- it's just not what it was.
Been here twice now with different experiences with one
Been here twice now with different experiences with one thing in common -- the meal was one of the best I've had in Austin. Any steak on the menu might be the best steak you've ever had. There was not one item we ordered that was less than a 4/5. It's also a beautiful, dimly lit, romantic interior that combines both older fine dining vibes with modern look.Of our two visits, the only complaint we had the second time, our server wasn't great. He was often non attentive and didn't really engage with us. But since everything else was amazing, I'll look past that especially since our first time, the server was awesome.
Don't get the hype
Service was fine. Food was disappointing. We ended up boxing our meals and skipping dessert. First and last time there. They seem to be resting on their laurels. The steak for 2 was a joke price wise for the quality of meat.
Off their game
Jeffreyβs is severely off their game. I was disappointed because several trips before the pandemic were much better. This time the steak was over cooked and tough. I know I should have returned it but just did not feel like making a scene. The oyster appetizer was very good though. Only one red wine by the glass that I was interested in. At this price point, I wonβt be back.
