Jeffrey's Restaurant by Claudio is described by the New York Times/Connecticut as "the embodiment of the American Bistro." The menu includes an infusion of Asian and French flavors. Our Executive Chef offers daily specials which enhance our diverse menu. Our recent Zagat survey mentions that,"even after changing ownership, regulars report having the same positive experience at this lovely New American-Continental;professionally served in a romantic setting enhanced by views of the marshes and gardens. It's a favorite of many who like to dine in a civil manner."

"We made a reservation for brunch on a Sunday. A brunch menu is posted on their website as a prix fixe for $20. When we were seated, we were presented with the regular lunch menu with prices that would equal two to three times the posted brunch cost. When I inquired about the brunch, they said that they didn't do brunch but were having trouble getting the menu off their website. No other explanation or so much as a free glass of wine was offered. The food is wonderful as is the waitstaff but the bill that was double what we planned for was worth knocking off a star."

"We went for Mother's Day lunch. They did not offer a lunch menu and took sandwiches off the supper menu. So what should have been an affordable lunch was a strained occasion. They stated making a sandwich would back up the kitchen. More like trying to take advantage of a special day to make more money.

Too bad we won't go back -"

"Great food. Great ambiance. Horrible, horrible waiter. Actually ruined the night for us, he was rude to us, didn't come to our table without at least 20-25 minutes in between appearances. We were waiting about 35 minutes for our check and when my MOTHER went up to ask the waiter for our check, he said, "You'll have to wait, I have to go sing Happy Birthday." I've never seen such a thing, but the owner handled it very well."

"Valentine's Day dinner with my girlfriend was my first time visiting Jeffrey's, and they really impressed! The service was very friendly and professional and the food and wine were excellent. The atmosphere is quiet and intimate, yet also very relaxed for such a nice restaurant. We are already looking forward to going back again!"
