    Always a lovely experience, especially at Christmas! Our party of 4 was seated in the library. The walk from the front door to the restaurant is glorious during the holidays. Our server, David, was cordial and knowledgeable, albeit a little "stretched" as they were very busy and down a couple servers for the night. The fried oysters (appetizer) was really good - crispy/crunchy outside and tender and silky inside -- accompanied by a little country ham, bread and butter pickles, freesia, small stewed tomatoes and a delicious, slightly spicy, sauce - all four of us had this! I had the Lemaire burger, which I love, and it was perfectly cooked at medium rare - two in my party had the tenderloin which they said was also cooked a perfect medium rare. One said their steak was nice and moist, the other said, while delicious and tender, was a little dry. The 4th in the party had the scallops - she had them last time she was there and loved them. Didn't disappoint - she said they were delicious! We were too full for dessert. The only negative was not really Lemaire's fault - I went to the front desk to pay for my valet service and the young woman told me she would rather I did it through the app. I told her I did that last time and you have to register again and fill out a lot of information, I would like to just pay my $18 in cash with her. She looked at me and said, "I prefer you use the app". Does not seem like her training in providing quality service at The Jefferson was completed! Overall, you can't beat Lemaire for a classic dining experience.

    We were seated in the bar area although we had requested the dining room. It was a 50 minute wait for our meal to arrive. It was not very hot. The lunch scallop entree included only two small scallops! Unbelieveable. After waiting 40 minutes for our dessert to arrive we hailed the server and cancelled dessert. Our group of four was very unhappy with our experience.

    The oysters were a fabulous shared appetizer. My scallops were divine and our shared desserts were just wonderful. A unique dining experience for lunch. I can't wait to come again.

    I had such high expectations, we waited over 1.0 no food. Had to ask for bread. 3 tables around us cheered us when we asked for manager and left.
