Travel to Richmond often and was staying at the Jefferson and have heard from many friends that Lemaire is doing well with its new Kitchen group - Well they were correct , The cast iron seared Scallops and the pan roasted Rock Fish were prepared perfectly ! Salads are very creative and we really liked the Mussels . Desserts were another hit! Why the mediocre overall review ? The Hostess was non...

Will definitely return to try more dishes. Everthing from taste to portion size was well worth the money all the way down to after dinner coffee. The service was excellent. Our server offered to validate our vallet ticket without having to ask.

LeMaire was wonderful until we got to the dessert menu, then all in our party were disappointed that there was no all chocolate dessert. The chocolate was always mixed with something else like bananas or peanut butter. The staff was very sympathetic with our position, and offered to see if they could get us some chocolate ice cream. It was delicious and rich; it was called "decadence" and it...

The food and service were wonderful. The ambience was lacking. We were in the Library(?) for an early Valentine's dinner after a theater matinee and they sat us in a room with a table for seven that was obviously celebrating something. They weren't obnoxious but they were loud and we were in a confined space and the only seated tables were us and them. It would have been more appropriate to...

Lemaire is always amazing. It's so great to have a gorgeous historic hotel and a stunning dining room with young servers and amazing, creative food. There's nothing stuffy about Lemaire these days. We treasure our evenings at Lemaire for quiet "together" time.

The food was very fresh, appetizing and presented well on the plate and palate. The atmosphere was quiet and elegant and the service from our waiter Michael was absolutely outstanding. He answered all questions concerning menu choices and knew about each dish we discussed. He was very attentive without being overly distracting. A very fine dining experience and the entire staff was very...

The service was i mpeccable. The tortelli my wife had and the scallops I had were made less tasty by over powering sauces. The cheme buele we had for dessert, however, was perfect. We would go back, but ask the kitchen to back off on the sauces for the entrees.

Excellent appetizers and entrees. Fish was cooked perfectly and was very fresh. Dessert choices were just ok. The peanut butter s'more was disappointing. Marshmallow base had no flavor and ganache was thin and not very gooey. But ambience and service was excellent and everything seemed priced fairly for a 5-star hotel restaurant. Especially compared to NY or LA restaurant of comparable quality...

We loved every moment of our experience at the Lemaire Restaurant in the Jefferson Hotel. The hotel lobby, grand staircase, and gift shop were lots of fun even before we entered the restaurant. Our dining experience could not have been better. The wine list offered a number of very reasonably priced options, and service was outstanding.

The beautiful historic dining room was our setting for a lovely dinner with delicious fresh local food prepared with a modern twist.

We had a wonderful New Year's Eve dinner at Lemaire while we were staying at the Jefferson Hotel. Our server, Matt, was very knowledgable about the menu and made good recommendations. I had the fried oyster appetizer and they were among the best I've ever had! All four of us thoroughly enjoyed everything about our evening.

My girlfriend and I spent the weekend in Richmond for New Years and the Jefferson was at the top of the list of places to experience. The setting of the Jefferson was out of this world. Wish I could go higher than 5 stars. Phenomenal. The food was average - my duck was overcooked, but the mussles appetizer was very good. After dinner we went to the bar downstairs (closed early) and then the bar...

The ambiance of the Jefferson Hotel is wonderful, and the restaurant's service was outstanding. However, the food, while good, was over priced for what it was even at around $30 per entree. I think you are paying for the location more than anything. I would recommend the setting for special occasions but not for regular dining.

The Lemaire has phenomenal dishes and a great atmosphere however the serving sizes are a bit on the small side. With the food costing (if one were to get all three courses and desserts) from 50-80 dollars, it seems like it would be a better idea to go to a few of the more common casual restaurants. There you get just about the same quality of food but much much more for less. However, I would...
