            Katherine was wonderful, and let me and my partner, who are both vegan, know about everything available, even going so far as to find crackers in absentia of bread. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the experience itself was enough to have us already booking our next reservation.

            At first we had to wait for 30 minutes at our table for a waiter to see us. The food was excellent. The wine was overpriced for a mediocre California wine. The manager did address the initial shortcoming in a professional manner

            The Burrata and Heirloom Tomato appetizer, cheeseburger and lemon cheesecake were very good. Our server was polite and attentive. The only disappointment was that TJ’s is not as elegant as LeMaire.

            Another guest and I ordered the crab cake starter. It was SO salty we weren't able to eat it. It was as if a whole salt box had been dropped into the mixture. We left it on our plate. The waiter should have asked if we wanted another meal given its salt content. He did give us our dessert free.

            Very disappointed that we didn’t know the actual Lemaire restaurant was closed for renovations and we dining in TJ’s restaurant. Since it was our anniversary I was looking for the atmosphere of lemaire. The service and food were excellent. The staff did a great job! We had been to TJ’s before so anticipating the different experience. It was an unexpected surprise.

            Food was amazing! However, we were not provided menus when we were seated, server seemed harried all evening. While other tables got several servings of bread we did not get ours until our entrees had come out. Server enjoyed chatting with diners even if they did not wish to chat with her, all other staff were very efficient.
