The food was delicious, the drinks were great, but the portions for the main courses were small. Overall we enjoyed the evening. Great place for date night.

We spent a lovely evening with friends. We started with a delicious house merlot and a couple of wonderful appetizers. The bacon wrapped shrimp was scrumptious and the seared ahi light and peppery. We followed these up with a wonderful dinner salad. I personally couldn't get enough of the balsamic vinaigrette and sopped up every morsel with a piece of the oh so delicious onion bread. (My mouth is watering as I write this.) Our entrees were beautifully presented and each of us remarked just how delicious each tasted. My halibut was prepared perfectly. It was light, delicate and absolutely delicious. My husband's Chilean Sea Bass was melt-in-your-mouth delicious and also perfectly prepared. Amazingly, we made room for a sharable light, buttery, sweet coconut layer cake for dessert. All-in-all dinner was superb. I would highly recommend Jeff's for a special occasion or just for a nice meal without the hubbub of chain restaurants. We've already been talking about returning to try the hamburger. It looks fabulous!

Hospitable staff learned our names when we got there, and referred to us by name the whole time. We were greeted and seated by Jeff (the owner). Food is fresh every day, and is amazingly delicious.

The food and service is always great; Jeff knows his customers and will introduce himself when he meets new people. It is a gem.

When Jeff isn't in, the energy is missing and the food isn't quite up to par.

Went to Jeff’s for wife’s 51st Birthday. Dinner was so fresh and delicious. I ordered halibut, green beans and risotto. The Mrs. ordered scallops, Brussels sprouts and risotto. For an appetizer we ordered the garlic shrimp with toast. Also, they are generous with the drinks! I had the usual Jameson’s and ginger ale, she the cosmo. The food, service, drinks are top notch.

First time we dined at Jeff’s .. we loved it! The food was fantastic. The place was great. Been back 2 more times when I have come to visit from out of state, yet without the same experience. This time the service was exceptionally poor, although our server was very nice. We waited at least 30 minutes for our entrees to be delivered. The halibut was on the dry side. The sea bass was tasty but the meal did not leave any of us with the same satisfaction and excitement about returning. Not sure I will make it a point to include it in my plans for my next trip to the area.
