Jeff's Inviting Food & Spirits

“I really don't know why this place isn't always constantly crowded. It is by far one of the best, consistently good places to eat in orange. The service is great, the food is wonderful and the bartender makes a mean drink! It's a l place to get a nice meal and drink without all the hooptydo!”

“Our first visit to Jeff’s was absolutely wonderful. This cozy, intimate restaurant has such a warm and welcoming feel from the moment you walk in. We loved learning that they don’t even have a freezer—Executive Chef Paul shops for ingredients every single day, and you can truly taste the freshness and care in every dish. The menu is creative, delicious, and full of interesting choices. Mariann, our server, was exceptional. She was attentive, friendly, and even took the time to learn our names, which made the experience feel extra personal. A charming place with incredible food and thoughtful service—we will definitely be back!”

“OMG! How did I not know about this place?! Hidden in a strip mall, you walk in, and its transformed into an intimate cozy restaurant where everyone seems to know each other and our waitress... no, she was more than a waitress, she was lik an experience guide, a family member inviting you into their home, her name- Maryanne... One of the best in the business! And the drinks... hands down one of the best dirty martinis and blue cheese olives I have had (and I have had a few!). My dinner? Exceptionally done Sea Bass. I chose the risotto and brussel sprouts for sides and was once again, IMPRESSED. This risotto was not overly rich, which is usually a complaint of mine...but this risotto-it was perfect. And then as a welcome to the family? Amazing cheesecake and chocolate cake w strawberries which also did not disappoint and I am not a dessert person! In short, I can't wait to go back. This wasn't just dinner it was an experience. I fully expect that by my 3rd visit it will feel like "Cheers", where everybody knows your name and they will call it when I walk in!”

“So delicious fish , served in good vibe . Really fantastic resturant, small place but worth exploring.”

“I don’t write reviews too often but I feel like I need to speak up about this one. This place is trending on Resy as #1 in LA metro and has amazing reviews (although this is one of only 5 reviews posted in over a year so that should say something). I live in NYC and travel 80% of the time and eat outv more than in. I brought my parents who live here expecting a delightful surprise. We walked into an 80% empty restaurant, however it took over 5 minutes for someone to come seat us and another 10 for the waitress, Lauren, to come to the table. Ordered an ahi app and some mains. A full hour had passed, and all the 3 waitstaff were fully concentrated on just hanging around the 12 person bar, completely avoiding coming by our table or section. I finally asked about the appetizer when I caught another staff member and they said it was on the way. Another 10 minutes pass, they drop the ahi, and at this point I tell them to just bring everything together. Out comes the burger and lamb. Both were cold, clearly sitting there waiting on the ahi they forgot and refused to acknowledge. They had to redo the lamb and by that point we all finished our meal. I get things happen. Totally cold avoidant staff. Not even one apology or attempt to fix or speed things up. Convinced these guys had friends and fam rank their way up on the reviews and resy scale. The service was disgraceful, worst service I’ve had in ages. And the food was mediocre (and cold) at best. Would definitely not recommend this place.”
