    Absolutely wonderful! We had the fish taco appetizers (came with 4 and delicious) and the hominy hummus (our party had 2 vegetarians and they loved it!). My fish was probably the best inland fish I have ever had! Very balanced and buttery with a really on point mole (it said Amarillo, but it was red). So good! My husband had the steak and he, who is a sampler of all things meat, said it was the best! All around, a great meal on the patio with warmers, because it was freezing outside. We didn't feel it, it was cozy and comfortable. Got a little noisy with a large party next to us, but still able to hear our own party since we were outside.

    A great dinner celebrating our 20th Anniversary. Jeffries always delivers on special occasions. Everyone from the valet, to hostess staff, to wait staff brought their A game last night. Expensive, yes, but very worth it to have a very memorable meal to celebrate. Beautiful done! Thank you.

    We had a great meal. We came here after going wedding dress shopping and our waitress, Grace, was awesome. The girls were a little late and she was accommodating and even brought us a free dessert at the end of our meal to say congratulations. Our dishes were great and we all had fun trying fun things on their menu.

    We went to celebrate my wife's birthday, and the service went above and beyond! They were incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful with recommendations for our order. The recommendations from our server exceeded our expectations, and provided us with a wonderful experience. My only qualm with this restaurant is how difficult it is to get a reservation. We almost were not able to attend due to our initial reservation being too late, but we were able to manage a last minute time change. Overall, an incredible experience! I look forward to our next visit.
