Jeffrey's Restaurant is located in the charming downtown neighborhood of Clarksville tucked away between residential homes with large oak trees and wide front porches. This unassuming exterior leads you into a warm intimate dining room where you will be wowed by its top notch "New American" cuisine. The restaurant also has a top notch wine list. It has been in the same spot since 1975 and is known for its great service. I have had many a romantic dinner here.
