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, who had never tried oysters before, ended up loving them.
I had the pork porterhouse, which was super flavorful and paired perfectly with a citrusy green sauce that really lifted the dish. The collard greens with bacon tasted homemade and rich, like something your Southern grandma would make. The salmon was cooked just right—crispy skin, tender inside, and perfectly seasoned.
The mocktails were another surprise. Each one had layers of flavor and felt thoughtful and balanced. Honestly, they were fun enough that we didn’t miss having alcohol at all.
Lemaire is the kind of place you go when you want to treat yourself to something special. Amazing food, great service, and an atmosphere that makes the night feel like a real occasion

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 and overcooked. The sauces definitely elevated the chicken. For dessert I brought home the eggnog cheese cake which was yum! I’d definitely go back when they change the menu so we can try something new. Definitely go for Christmas. It will make your visit even more special.

Lamaire is currently not in its coveted location at The Jefferson. They are currently located in a private space adjacent to TJ’s Restaurant and Lounge. While remodeling is competed, the rich atmosphere that Lamaire commands is on hold. That is where the differences end.
The wine card is extensive. As we are Rioja fans we picked a beautiful bottle of 2012 Viña Tondonia Rioja. Simply Excellent.
We had the Burrata with Heirloom Tomatoes (locally grown in Hanover) as our starter. I had the Herb Grilled Swordfish and Michele had the Pork Porterhouse. Both main courses were spectacular. Dessert… wow. My apologies, I did not take a photo of the dessert menu.
I must admit, before arriving at Lemaire my expectations were very high. I travel extensively and try to eat healthy. I dine at mid to swanky restaurants. Lemaire’s cuisine may have been the best I have ever had. I had a few bites of michele’s Pork Porterhouse and asked myself, “how did they do that”?
Details always matter.
The top of the menu read, “Happy Birthday“. Nice touch.
We were assisted in our dining experience by Candy. Warm, kind, and professional. Thank you for ensuring our evening was perfect. You rock!
We will definitely return to Lemaire.

Our team of pet sitters met at the invitation of our generous leader of the pack 🙂 We sat at a long table near the windows enjoying drinks, conversation, and the delicious farm to table food. I had the tri-color quinoa salad which was served with fresh arugula, avocado, pickled onion, tomato, and feta. I tasted a very bright dressing lightly covering the entire salad. What a delightful dish as well as experience. Wait staff was professional, engaging, and attentive, but not overly so. It was such a wonderful experience. Thanks to all present. Such a lovely setting inside the elegant historical Jefferson Hotel!

I can’t rave highly enough about the service and hospitality of Lemaire and the Jefferson hotel. We had nothing but pleasant experiences during all of our encounters with the staff. The food here is exceptional – yes it’s expensive, but you get what you pay for and it’s top quality.
We stayed two nights and dined here for dinner both nights. Honestly I couldn’t choose a favorite dish because everything was so delicious. Love the Gluten Free options too – the waitstaff even brought me GF bread. Such a treat!

What a deli holiday lunch with my lady friends! The atmosphere of the hotel was amazing. The food and drinks were very good. Our waiter was exceptionally kind and courteous, a real charmer. A most impressive outing. It was well worth the drive from the peninsula and Williamsburg.

Had the best first experience dining at Lemaire. The Jefferson was decorated for the holidays, and stunningly so. Started with the caesar salad then had the crab cake appetizers – absolutely incredible for both. But that crab cake was hands down the best crab cake I’ve ever had. Also got their beef tenderloin, beautiful cut of meat paired with some nuts that just sent the dish. And then dessert. The apple cider creme brulee was stunning. Took home the Baileys cheesecake and will be making that last as long as possible. The food was absolutely phenomenal and the service was fantastic as well. 10/10 dining experience and all of the employees in and out of the dining room were friendly and welcoming – specifically our server (Courtney I’m pretty sure) and the host that sat us and said goodbye. Thank you!!

Sara T was an excellent waitress! Our meal was absolutely delicious. I got the Caesar salad, barnyard burger, and pineapple upside down cake. My dad got the scallops. My godfather got the crab cake appetizer and chicken entree . We all thought it all was amazing. Definitely recommend! We also got 2x half bottle Champ Piper which was also good!
