            The Jefferson Hotel was so beautiful as was the restaurant. We had a drink and snack at the bar before being seated. The food was delicious! Once seated, our service was not very good. We barely saw our server throughout most of our meal. We wanted to order some coffee but it was so long before we saw her again that we decided not to bother. It would have been an amazing night had the service been better.

            Our dinner celebrating my wife's 55th birthday was exceptional. The staff's attention to detail was remarkable, acknowledging her birthday upon arrival and presenting her with personalized menus and a beautiful birthday dessert. The food was delicious, the table location was ideal, and the service was impeccable. The elegant hotel setting and excellent wine selection made the evening truly special. Thank you for creating such a wonderful experience!

            I ordered the collard greens to go and it was not included in my bag. Second mishap with to-go food, in a row.

            Wonderful experience - the food was incredible and the ambience takes you back in time. The highlight of our anniversary dinner was our server, Sean (Shawn, Shaun - sorry if I misspelled!). He is so friendly, attentive and kind - a true gem. Thank you!

            Amazing staff & fabulous food! Generous portions & excellent hospitality! Lemaire is a wonderful place for dinner! The short rib appetizer & Caesar salad was beyond our expectation. The shrimp cocktail is always perfect! I don’t think Lemaire does anything below the absolute best. The barnyard burger and the beef tenderloin are so delicious! I could go on and on! Lemaire is the place to go if you want the best of the best!
