Josephine House
Jeffrey's, a signature fine-dining venue since 1975, got sold and revamped in 2013 and was promptly included in Bon Appétit's 10 Best New Restaurants list. Service remains superior, the menu now emphasizes steaks, and prices are stratospheric. Adjacent little sister Josephine is quaint and sweet, offering lunch, brunch, and snacks. – MM Pack
