Best Historic Restaurants in Mechanicsville

We had a 7pm reservation and were promptly seated in a nice corner table. Water was poured quickly and then we had a few minutes to go ahead and decide our entire order, excepting dessert. Our server took the whole order at once and coursed it out perfectly. Warm bread and butter were served, and promptly consumed. The sazerac that arrived was, quite honestly, better than the sazerac at the Roosevelt in NOLA. The wine list included some Virginia wines, so I chose a cab franc from Barboursville. It was wonderful. The wedge salad was lovely, the coffee rubbed filet was perfect at mid-rare as was the bone-in ribeye, lobster mac was raved over and taken home to be eaten as a midnight snack. The baked potato was gigantic and cooked thoroughly and delicious. We rounded it off with the oreo crust key lime pie - excellent. A fine meal, through and through.

There were 4 of us and a baby, and the service couldn't have been better. even though we had been here before, we felt that the food presentation was exceptional. The oysters were the freshest, and the entrees were all very good.

Beautiful dining experience. Food and service were 5 star

It was wonderful overall like always…we love The Jefferson and the bar and Lemaire! I did not enjoy the crab cake. I did not read the fine print. I was expecting a plain, “all crab” crab cake. The sauce preparation was entirely too rich for me. The server was amazing…extremely courteous and attentive and thorough. 

We had a nice time and we enjoyed our meal and drinks. We had a few issues but the staff addressed it quickly and our group felt good with the way things were handled. We will return, thank you!
