    We always eat here when we stay at the Hotel. We had local friends join us for this dinner. The staff is well trained and attentive but not overly so. All four of us had the salmon entree which was very good and mine cooked to medium was perfectly prepared. The desserts were just as good. We will keep coming. I have never been disappointed with the food, drink and service here.

    We had the most perfect meal with the fried oysters as our appetizer, I had the rockfish and my husband had scallops for entrees. Our waitress Candie was the best! She was attentive but not overbearing. This is our second time staying at the Jefferson and dining at Lemaire and an excellent experience both times. We’d definitely be back.

    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!
