Best Southern American Restaurants in Virginia

I LOVE Southern Kitchen and the new location has excellent parking. The food and service has always been very good and now it's very convenient. Always select catfish bites and a side salad is perfect. I never have room for dessert!

We had holiday brunch with friends. The restaurant is lovely, the service was on point, and the food was great!

We had a wonderful dinner tonight! Great service, nice ambiance and the food was fantastic. We can’t wait to return.

It is an amazing alternative to enjoy the ambiance of the Jefferson for less money than the main dining restaurant. Our server was extremely professional and added to the experience. I would definitely recommend.

This was my husband and my first time to Lemaire. We specifically scheduled a time to visit The Jefferson Hotel during the holiday season. It did not disappoint. We arrived at the hotel and found the parking lot easily. We took a ticket (to be validated at the meal), and we entered the lobby. We were greeted by the host and taken tour our seat within just a minute or so. The ambiance is perfect. Low lighting, but not so low that you can't read. The music is perfect, allowing for conversation to take place without having to yell, but also providing a nice background sound. Our server was Candi. She greeted us warmly and in a friendly manner. We ordered the Caesar salads which were delicious. The best I've had in a while. We ordered the chicken breast to split. It came with an apricot wild rice and sauces. These were all amazing! No critiques. We also ordered a side of the mac and cheese, which was delicious as well. We each had two glasses of sparkling rose to celebrate the day (January 1st) and finished with the chocolate caramel gateau. Candi was pleasant and helpful the entire time. She was friendly and interesting, asking us questions about ourselves and making conversation. All in all, this was a great experience. We even talked about it being an annual event for us.
