Best Contemporary French American Restaurants in Midtown

Fantastic meal from starters to mains. The Razor Clams were so good we ordered it a second time. The Crystal Blue Prawns were very tasty as was the Octopus Carpaccio. We finished with the Lamb Ragu, which was outstanding. Service (KQ) and Sommelier (Nick) were attentive and friendly. Trenton in the bar area was great as well. We will be back when in town.

Disclaimer: Serenade is inside the W Austin, so don't get lost like we did. The Hostess NySha was so lovely and she took great care of us and got us to our Waitress Julia, who was absolutely amazing. They were a great team, both recommending must try items. It's out anniversary so they gave us some champagne 🥂 which was lovely. We got a Chevre Spread which is a must try, like the flavors are all unreal just mesh together. I got the Duck and my wife got the Chicken dish and they were both lovely. The duck is next level, like fall off the bone next level. All together we had a great time, they took photos of us for us and we took the rest of the fun into Downtown Austin.

Best food in Austin. Any special occasion would be amazing here. The 5 course is very filling and the food is amazing.

Jeffrey’s is the finest overall dining experience in Austin for classic beautiful food, outstanding service, and an incredible wine selection (albeit a pricey but outstanding selection). Each offering is well prepared and well presented. The pork belly duck rillettes are little bites of luscious tasty apps, the escargot was delightful and not the classic thick butter garlic but a fresh presentation of the seafood tidbit with fresh herbs on puff pastry. We had the venison, which was delicious and perfectly medium to dark pink, and a lighter not gamey taste with a perfect sauce and red cabbage as in old world game. Potatoes were yummy but the Brussels sprouts were possibly the best we ever had: perfectly crisp and light in the center. Service was exceptional-attentive, professional yet friendly, knowledgeable and just delightful. Thanks! This why we keep coming back!!!
