    The building is an architectural and historical gem of great value! From the very first moment, we received excellent service from both the hostesses at the entrance and the waitress. The food was delicious, the cocktail, wine, and beer menu was excellent, and the atmosphere was perfect for celebrating a birthday as a couple. We left knowing that we would be back!

    This was a wonderful experience to celebrate our first Valentine's by our dining experience at Lemaire. The restaurant service was impeccable. Our server Candi represented Lemaire at the 5-star service level. I would recommend making a reservation at Lemaire for your dinner date, you will not be disappointed.

    Such a wonderful dinner. We went to celebrate Valentine’s Day & my birthday and it did not disappoint. The service was impeccable and the food was amazing! We shared the Tamarind Glazed Beef Short Rib for a starter, the Vintage Grass-Fed Beef Tenderloin with Macaroni & Cheese with Garlic Breadcrumbs for our entrees & shared the Black Forest Cake for dessert. The pairings were perfect, We will definitely be back!

    I took my beloved for Valentine’s Day and the ambiance was wonderfully romantic. The server was considerate to our dietary restrictions and our water was never less than half full. The food was delicious, and the banana bread pudding dessert was to die for. The price was also not excessive !! 10/10 so glad we chose this restaurant for our romantic getaway.
