Nothing better anywhere. Food, service, and ambiance are all exceptional. Best place for romantic dinner.

Food was excellent and service was extremely good too.
A family member was celebrating a birthday and they created personalized menu's for the event and wished him a happy birthday when we arrived .

We had a lovely anniversary dinner at Lemaire. Service was prompt and exceedingly courteous, our meal was delicious and the wine we chose was very affordable yet tasted exceptional!

New menu- salmon dish entree was excellent and the crab cake appetizer, all gluten free. Very nice.

Outstanding as usual. This is one of my favorite places for happy hour and dinner. They have a wonderful Sunday brunch as well.

It is located inside the Jefferson Hotel which looks and feels every bit of the historic site that it is. Very nice, but un-pretentious. I feel that the staff makes a deliberate effort to make guests feel comfortable as a counter balance to this places ambiance.
The food was very nice, not great, but very nice. I was a bit surprised by the wine list; nice selection at very reasonable prices. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about every dish on the menu and able to answer any and all questions.

The Lenaire is always a joy. Delicious food. Attentive, polite service.

We went to Lemaire to celebrate my husbands birthday. The food was excellent and the service superior. It was a lovely atmosphere in a beautiful hotel. Everything we ordered was delicious and beautifully presented. Will definitely come back when we are in Richmond.

Went to Lemaire to celebrate our daughter's birthday. Entrees were perfectly prepared - from the appetizers (mussels) to the hanger steak and tenderloin (entrees) to dessert (creme brulee). Wait staff was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu options. Definitely recommend!

Our waitress, Leigh Anne, was very professional, courteous and friendly. We enjoyed having her as our waitress!

First class service and food with a decent wine list.

Everything was wonderful.

Beautiful location in the ornate Jefferson Hotel. Great service and good food. Not inexpensive.

Excellent food. Large and small tables. Would go back in a minute!

Lovely setting, delicious food, quiet and elegant atmosphere and great service. Exactly what we needed for our birthday celebration!

We splurged on this historic venue for a combination Easter and Anniversary dinner with my son and his girlfriend. The service was impeccable, the food was wonderful, and the ambiance was elegant. It's perfect for a special occasion.

Great food service and ambience.

Very enjoyable, excellent food, service and
ambiance...will definitely will return

LeMaire is a great place to eat. The decor is beautiful in an old world charm carried throughout the hotel. Food was delicious and creative combinations made it worth trying new things each time.

Lemaire is our favorite restaurant experience in Richmond. The steak I had this evening was amazingly tender and delicious.

New York quality food in Richmond. Complete upscale experience when combined with a stay at the renowned Jefferson Hotel.

Our waitress, Melanie, was fantastic! Very attentive and made our dining experience even better.

The food here is incredible. The chef updates the menu frequently so there is always something new to try. Service is attentive but not intrusive. Beautiful, historic hotel . You will not be disappointed!

What a gorgeous hotel!! Such awesome glass ceilings and woodwork..just breathtaking..
Food was an added plus!!

Outstanding....
See you in May for our Anniversary
Can’t wait

Took my teenage boys and my brother for an early Sunday night dinner as a celebration. Service was exquisite, the food was divine and beautifully presented. Standouts included the Pork Belly, Salmon, Scallops and the burger with incredible Macaroni and Cheese. We ended our meal with the Chocolate Torte which was decadent and delicious. We were seated in the smaller dining room just off the bar which was very nice, but the larger room might be nicer. The rooms are so elegant, very tall ceilings and lovely furnishings. If on a date/anniversary etc (which Lemaire is perfect for!), I would recommend asking for a window table. Not an everyday dining place for our family but we'll definitely be back for another special occasion. Always a pleasure to be in this elegant and historic hotel.

Wonderful experience! We took our daughter there to celebrate something, and they paid wonderful attention to her and made our evening completely enjoyable. The food was outstanding!

Absolutely delicious food with such amazing flavors. Never disappointed when eating at Lemaire.

Truly a gastronomic delight!

Our server, Melanie, could not have been more professional, friendly, and attentive. She was wonderful. She stopped and chatted with us, answered our questions, but was not at all intrusive. We were celebrating our fiftieth anniversary, and it could not have been more wonderful.

The squid ink pasta dish was one of the top five meals I’ve ever had. Well executed. Will definitely return for future special occasions.

Lovely setting, Nice for special occassions. Restaurant was pricey for what was served.
We had a 5:15pm reservation as a pre-theater dinner. We were largely alone in a small room for most of our meal, yet the service was rather lacking and we waited too long between courses The waitress made little attempt to see if we needed something more--for example, the mussels bowel we shared as an appetizer was flavorful, but only one spoon was offered on a shared dish, and bread was offered only after the mussels appetizer was removed from the table., so only the single toast each was available for dipping.
Further, wine was not offered after our glasses were empty...Food was nice although my medium steak was served nearly raw in the middle, so that I and my partner at separate times while my steak went back for more cooking.
At this price , it is really all about the service...and this just missed the mark---It was not a five star experience-, even though we enjoyed the ambiance.

We went there for happy hour before our dinner reservations and it was fantastic! Everything we had was wonderful and they even printed our menus to say 'Happy Birthday'. I would definitely go there again soon!

We had a very special dining experience. Everything was first class. Thanks for making our anniversary dinner just beautiful.

Fine dining at its very finest!! Just amazing!! Our server Matt, was just perfect...informative & attentive. We will go back.

My two Grandsons ages 10&8 enjoy fine dinning and it was time for them to experience the history of the hotel. My Son and Daughter-in-Law agreed and the reservation was made. The food and service was outstanding. Matt the server treated the boys like the gentlemen their are and the meal was delicious. What is the saying: What memories are made of....I say the Lemaire at the Jefferson Hotel.

Lemaire has always meant something special in food and service. Well, the service was there as our waiter, Andrew, was at the top of his game. He took care of my allergies and service was prompt. However, the dishes, although good, were not spectacular, which, quite frankly, we have come to expect from The Jefferson Hotel and Lemaire. I got brussel sprouts that were slightly blanched and hard as rocks. I told Andrew about them, but there was little he could do. I segregated them on my plate. The chef send out some brussel sprouts that were cooked a bit more than the originals, but they too were way too hard and under cooked. My complementary birthday dessert was very nice and unexpected.

Terrific meal with wonderful service. It was our 27th anniversary and Lemaire did not disappoint. Our server, Melanie, was attentive and fun, made great recommendations but allowed us to enjoy an unhurried late dinner. We had drinks, appetizers and main course. Everything was perfectly prepared and each item very special. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the white sweet potato bisque; I had the incredible chicken fried oysters as a first course, followed by skirt steak and my wife the rockfish. All-in-all a perfect meal.

Was an amazing meal with great service!

The food was absolutely superb and our waiter was terrific. All in all, a wonderful evening.

Wonderful dinner. Appreciate The Jefferson Give back to the community through the 15% return to the SPCA.
