    Came in for a quick bite and a drink. Not a bad day, but not a great day. I had Alyssa C as my server. She was so nice to deal with my undecidedness, and made her recommendation saying, I got you. The burger she brought me was absolutely killer. Then some oysters (weird combo, but okay let’s do this.). They were awesome and it all worked. She checked in on me. Super friendly. Just an awesome human. Thanks Jefferson’s, and thank you Alyssa.

    I had an awesome experience at Jefferson’s! The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly — everything from the appetizers to dessert was spot on. But what really made the visit special was our server, Alexis. She was super friendly, attentive without being overbearing, and made great recommendations (the wings were incredible!). You can tell she really cares about her guests. I’ll definitely be coming back — highly recommend Jefferson’s if you’re looking for great food and even better service!

    We had dinner at Jefferson's last night, and I had to immediately write a review to praise our server, Alyssa C. Her service was truly exceptional. The definition of a five-star experience. Alyssa was incredibly attentive without ever being intrusive. She anticipated our needs, making sure our drinks were promptly refilled and used plates were cleared immediately. She was also remarkably knowledgeable about the menu, offering fantastic recommendations on the nightly specials and helping us pair our dessert with coffee. Beyond her efficiency, Alyssa was genuinely warm, friendly, and had a wonderful, positive energy that elevated the entire dining experience.

    My dining experience was absolutely fantastic, thanks in large part to our server, Avery C. From the moment we were seated, Avery was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. They anticipated our needs before we even had to ask — refilling drinks promptly, checking in at the perfect times, and offering thoughtful recommendations that turned out to be spot-on. Avery’s upbeat energy made the whole meal more enjoyable, and it was clear they genuinely cared about creating a great experience for every guest. It’s rare to find someone who balances professionalism and warmth so effortlessly. The food was great, but Avery’s outstanding service truly made the evening memorable. We’ll definitely be coming back — and asking for Avery by name!

    🚨STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND READ🚨 So basically I sat down at the bar in Jefferson’s and this most gorgeous, stunning, beautiful, and gorgeous woman greeted me at the bar. Her name was Avery C and she asked me “why couldn’t the toilet paper cross the road?” I responded, “idk, why??” And she said “because it was stuck in a crack.” And handed me a 16 oz of Michael Lob ultra (the exact drink I was wanting to get) and walked away. I kid you not 10/10 service. I will be back again.
