A passion for friendship, food and wine fed the genesis of Jeffrey's in 1975. Founders Ron & Peggy Weiss and Jeffrey Weinberger pooled their interests, talents and enthusiasm to open a neighborhood Austin bistro such as they had encountered in their travels. They were part of the first wave of new American cuisine, and they made their mark with an original flair that is unmistakably Jeffrey's alone. An outstanding wine list serves as soul mate to the food. Knowledgeable, friendly service is a hallmark of Jeffrey's. Some of the wait staff have been here for more than 25 years. They obviously have reason to stay.
