Good Food

Jeffrey’s Fine Dining, 426A Marcus Garvey Boulevard, 347-405-7022

"The food at Jeffrey’s was so astoundingly good, the service so exceptional, and the environment so warm, after the appetizer – Goat Cheese Crostini with Cranberry Balsamic Glaze ($6), a Romaine Salad with Garlic Parmagian Dressing ($8) and one glass of wine (brought over from Olivino Wines), I was ready to grab a pillow, curl up and go to sleep until morning when I could start all over again with breakfast.

"Diners also will notice, there are no salt or pepper shakers on any of the tables. But you don’t miss the seasoning – not for one second – as everything already is seasoned with precision and… dare I say, love?

"Yes, in fact, I did taste love, and that’s probably because Jeffrey’s is a family affair. The restaurant is owned by a young brother-sister team (Michelle and Jeffrey), while their father works as the head chef. And it’s not unusual for the cooks to drop unexpectedly by your table and ask how you’re enjoying your meal."
