The inventive cuisine of chef David Garrido blends his penchant for Latin flavors with classic training, resulting in gems such as crispy fried oysters with yucca root chips over a honey-habañero aioli and beef tenderloin with pecorino-rosemary potatoes and a sauce filled with wild mushrooms and flavored with brandy. Jeffrey’s food became so popular with a certain former Texas governor that a second location had to be opened in Washington, DC. Ask about the four-course tasting menu.
