   Food was fantastic! Service was great! Drinks were delicious! Ambiance was bright, inviting, and classy! We celebrated our anniversary and we had menus that read happy anniversary as well as being greeted with a happy anniversary. It was truly a memorable and fantastic experience.

   I thought our lunch was a bit "underwhelming". Peanut soup sounded interesting but in my view didn't work at all. Would be curious to know if there are people who love that particular soup? A great chef prepares a great omelette, but the 3 egg omlette we had was dry and lacked flavour ( presentation was also very bland), my daughter's crab cake was served on a very soggy English muffin. I may be grading a bit on the harsh side but this is billed as higher end dining. I also felt that the wait staff were not very attentive for a high end venue. Again this may be unfair as this restaurant like many are probably having trouble hiring staff. On the bright side this venue's ambience is not surpassed anywhere in the area and mediocre food cannot kill that. Also one of our guests felt that the shrimp cocktail, the salmon entree and the dark chocolate cake dessert were great!

   Service was poor. Delayed arrival of aftermeal beverages. Waiter appeared not well, although trying. A waitress actually shrugged her shoulders after a polite response from one of us patrons. She was bordering on rude. Shocked by this atypical experience, but very disappointing as I was entertaining out of town guests.

   We had a lovely experience at Lemaire! My fiancé and I enjoyed breakfast here before taking off from the Jefferson, and it was the perfect way to start the day. Lemaire knows who it is and they do it well. They aren't trying to be too much and through that approach, they are everything. It's really beautifully simple. They offer great approachable food & drinks, courteous service, an authentic atmosphere, and they treat you as anyone who spends their hard earned money wants to be treated - as though you're an honored patron. The little things add up: a free daily paper to skim while enjoying your breakfast, the pleasant French playlist dancing in the background, the light coming through the huge windows of the dining area, it's meticulously clean, and so many other great details. In all, Lemaire is our favorite spot in Richmond - hands down.

    Everything was delicious. I highly recommend the fried oysters and a barnyard burger. Delicious as well. Cocktails were great. I have a valentine and it was lovely to look at and tasty to drink. Will definitely be back.

    We had a birthday lunch and the food was excellent. Shrimp cocktail was best I've ever had. Lemaire burger was served on a delicious bun. Peanut soup and crabcake sandwich were also tasty. Service was accommodating, but SLOW. Self parking lot at hotel was extremely convenient. This is a great venue for a special occasion lunch.

    Service at Lemaire was great, but the dining experience was very lackluster. The food we received was either flavorless and so overly salted to render it inedible. Even the cocktails were disappointing. Our waitstaff were incredibly attentive and understanding, but that was not enough for us to consider coming back and give this restaurant another try next time we’re in Richmond.

    We were seated at a dinky two person table in what felt like an annex of the main restaurant probably used for private parties in the sort of rental chairs you would see at a wedding. It was uncomfortably quiet and we felt like we had to whisper to not disturb the other diners in the room. We were very disappointed we weren’t seated by the front window or at least in a “real” table in the main restaurant. Unfortunately it really detracted from our overall experience. It’s clear if this was because we were a table of two or because we booked through OpenTable. Next time I’ll definitely call to make the reservation and request a better table instead. Food was good as expected . Fried oyster appetizer was big and excellent and the scallops were buttery and delicious. The garlic and almond soup was very tasty. The peppered fettuccini (the only vegetarian entree option) was totally unimpressive and wasn’t enough food. The chocolate cake and ice cream dessert was fantastic. Service was great - Bruce was our waiter. With three glasses of wine it was about $200.
