It was truly an amazing experience. Decided to check them out for my birthday, and the fact that the hostess and the waitress knew was an extra touch. They even printed my name on the menu. Food was amazing. Served with no rush, warm, and extremely tasty. Their drinks and wine menu were also excellent. We will definitely come back.
Definitely an experience everyone should enjoy. A place of few words. Like Excellent and Unforgettable.
Excellent high end option in Richmond. I started with the lamb chops, might have been the highlight. While I often find chops not filling enough as a main, as a starter they were perfect and perfectly cooked. The halibut was a good option for my main course, again cooked great and accompanied by a nice assortment of vegetables. I wish, …
Had such an amazing breakfast at Lemaire this Saturday with my family while they were staying there! The whole experience was wonderful from start to finish. The hostess, I believe her name was Cambria, was sweet and welcoming the moment we walked in. Our server Sydney was fantastic! She was super friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The food was …
My husband and I had dinner there the last weekend for the Christmas decorations. The place was stunning and the food unique but delicious! Our server was attentive. We sat in an intimate room of the restaurant. My husband got the beef tenderloin and I had the organic chicken. Even though delicious, I felt the chicken was a little dry …
I had an exceptional experience at Lemaire at The Jefferson Hotel in Richmond. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, elegant, and welcoming. The service was outstanding—attentive without being intrusive—and every member of the staff made the evening feel special. I highly recommend!!!
Dinner at Lemaire in the beautiful Jefferson Hotel was one of the best meals I’ve had in Richmond. The space itself is gorgeous—refined and romantic without feeling uptight. The food was incredible. The polenta with chorizo had such a nice contrast between creamy and spicy. We started with raw oysters, and they were so fresh and well-prepared that my girlfriend, …
Arriving late, shortly before closing, I was pleased to find an open table, and appreciated the friendly, knowledgeable waitress, who carefully outlined the vegan/vegetarian options. In fact, I look forward to returning with my wife, a fellow vegetarian, who will surely enjoy the delicious food and warm ambiance. Pictured is the golden beet salad on a bed for whipped coconut …

This restaurant is located within the Jefferson hotel and has a classy old school look making it a nice special occasion place to dine at as well. We would highly …
We enjoyed the Lemaire for dinner as a gift. The Jefferson Hotel is gorgeous southern architecture and provides a high end feel to the restaurant. The greeting on arrival was a bit disappointing but not too annoying. My husband had a smoked Old Fashion, which he said was the best to date. The mussels as appetizer was outstanding. The fennel …
