    The fried oysters were much too salty. The rice with the chicken was mushy although the chicken was good. My wife's salmon tasted "fishy" like it was too old.

    Lovely New Years Eve dinner date. Quiet and no one ever rushed us out. I was surprised that the tables weren’t packed, but that made it so enjoyable because it was quiet and private and romantic. Our waitress provided helpful recommendations and the food was excellent and well-portioned. The festive cocktails were enjoyable. Loved the cheese board for dessert! Highly recommend.

    We were seated near, but not in, the bar. It was extremely loud (you couldn't hear your table's conversation very well). They dropped and broke numerous glasses. Server was rushing us, was not attentive, and did not have a very service-oriented attitude- told us the bar was busy so ordering drinks needed to be done together, never asked if we wanted a second drink, did not ask if we wanted appetizers, etc.

    We celebrated my husband's 50th birthday/Christmas here. It was a first visit for us all. The food was exemplary, the ambiance was perfect, and the attention to details were superior. We had custom menus with Happy 50th Birthday Todd printed at the top, and dessert came out with Happy Birthday written beautifully in chocolate with a candle. I wish I could remember our server's name, but she was wonderful and patient with our party. My one critique is the garnishes were more for looks than eating, while the meat/main entree was great, but that could just be personal taste. Overall a wonderful experience and my husband had a perfect birthday.

    We celebrate milestones at Lemaire - our anniversary and my wife's birthday. The experience tonight was everything we've come to expect - outstanding from start to finish. From the reservation with Bella to Travis's attention to detail it was a grand experience. Thanks to all of your dedicated staff for all they do!

    Service was great and our food was delicious — we had the crab cake sandwich and omelette — the fries were best ever. The Bloody Mary was so good. The server was fantastic. The hotel was decorated very nicely for Christmas. Great experience !
