I had high hopes for Jefferson’s Spirits in Medford, but unfortunately, the experience fell flat.
The food was… interesting. The chicken wrap had so little chicken that I started wondering if it was more of a lettuce wrap. The nachos came with that delightful gas-station-style cheese sauce, which is a bold choice for a sit-down restaurant. And the grilled cheese? Let’s just say it managed to take something nearly impossible to mess up and make it forgettable.

Service was excruciatingly despite very few customers. Charcuterie board we ordered was missing two of the five things listed on menu…including the cheese…which is literally part of what is required to make a charcuterie board!?! Nachos were cold and the staff argued about it even though I could literally hold the cast iron skillet in my hand because it was so cool. Even after it was “reheated” for me, the shredded cheese on top hadn’t even melted. Still charged us full price for the food. Frankly unbelievable and super sad as previous experiences there have all been positive.

First time in and we enjoyed it. We went to both the upstairs and downstairs area. The drinks are basically the same at both, the downstairs is just a little more laid back vibe

Visited for Saturday morning brunch, it was very delicious and service was great. Sicilian sunrise was what is pictured.

Jefferson Spirits offers a unique and inviting atmosphere that captures the essence of classic speakeasies, making it an intriguing spot for anyone seeking a night out. The décor is thoughtfully curated, with vintage touches that transport you back in time, and the themed events add an exciting element to the experience. Whether you’re enjoying live music or a themed cocktail night, the ambiance truly shines.
However, while the environment is delightful, the service leaves much to be desired. On my recent visit, I found the staff to be somewhat inattentive. It took longer than expected for our orders to be taken, and once we received our drinks, they were not up to par. The cocktails, though they sounded enticing on the menu, lacked the finesse one would hope for in a venue that prides itself on its theme.
Inconsistent drink execution was disappointing; some cocktails were overly sweet, while others were diluted, lacking the distinct flavors promised. For a place that puts so much effort into creating a fantastic thematic experience, the drinks should ideally match that level of creativity and quality.
Overall, Jefferson Spirits is a charming venue that excels in atmosphere but falters in service and drink execution. If you’re looking for a great night out with friends and don’t mind navigating the hiccups in service and mixed drink quality, it might still be worth a visit. Just don’t go in with high expectations for your cocktails.

My husband and I went to Jefferson Spirits for sunday brunch and we loved it. The menu was unique and fresh and everything we had was delicious! The Bellinis were crisp and the perfect ratio of fruit to champagne. We want to go back to try other things in the brunch menu but we also want to try their lunch menu. The staff are really nice and answered all our questions. I can’t believe it took us so long to try this place out, it’s definitely one of our new favorites.

We stumbled into this place while trying to find someplace to eat on a double date. The service was good, the bartenders were very kind. They had live music playing which was really nice! We ordered a BUNCH of shareables, the charcuterie board had a good spread, and the Whipped Feta was to die for.
I will admit I was a bit dissapointed with the fancy grilled cheese I orderes, but the rosemary marinara dip it comes with punches you in the face with flavor, so I understand the Grilled Cheese’s understated flavors.
All in all it was a nice treat, and we really enjoyed ourselves.
