Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Glen Allen

LeMaire was wonderful! My dining companion and I were attending an event at the Carpenter Center and running late for our reservation. We called ahead and were accommodated upon arrival. The restaurant advised by signage that they were working on improvements, and when we entered our dining area it was apparent. Once seated we were fine, thanks to our server Dave. We let him know we were trying to make a curtain and made sure our order was priority level. LeMaire and The Jefferson are a step back in time to fine dining and artistry of food presentation and artwork on the walls. Each room was as if you were sitting in someone's personal dining room. Our food and drinks were wonderful. We would love to return!

Excellent service in making reservations and changing them. Very considerate and excellent job of communicating with me about reservation.

Fantastic dinner. David Shannon rocks. Every morsel was over-the-top delicious and Kendel, our server, couldn't have been more polished, personable, and professional. The Vegan Orgy on Texas Beach was a complete flavor banger as promised, I would sell my soul for another bite of the Swank Bank — the whole thing is obscenely delicious, and the halibut was, of course, to die for. Thank you for a special birthday dinner.

Perfect early dinner choice. We actually called in 45 minutes before our reservation time, to ask if we could come in a bit early. "Come in as soon as you get here" was the cheerful response. The menu is not expansive, but we each found entrees that sounded intriguing. The appetizer (calamari) was a perfect start. Our waitress was very attentive, and inviting. She even noticed that we were following a football game score on my phone, and asked the bartender to change the channel so that we could actually watch the broadcast!

Great experience overall. Had an issue with a fish entree, waiter and manager handled it quickly and efficiently. Highly recommended
