It's funny, a restaurant at the level of Jeffrey's in any large metro area (Houston for example) would require a jacket. I guess it's just that "laid-back" attitude this town has.

Jeffrey's came up with a Chef's menu, where you get your choice of two appetizers, entrees and dessert, all for a fixed price, $37 last time I was there. It's a very good deal, if you ask me.

G'day

Another "upscale" place that most people dress up for is Hudsons on the Bend. Last night even the guy with the boar head and his witch partner were pretty well dressed. Food was great. It was expensive. Servings were huge.

Menu for some food content:
Rattlesnake cakes with chipotle cream sauce
pheasant salad on mango aoli with tomatillo, jicama, carrot salsa, some sort of chili vinagrette and several ingrediants I forget spinach flautas with goat cheese and habanero drizzle (that we requested to be a flood) served with cornbread, asparagus and black beans pecan crusted pheasant with ancho rasberry sauce Morgan Pinot Noir bowl of berries that got completely forgotten when a ring was produced 8-)
