    An interesting mixed bag. We ate dinner and breakfast at Lemaire, as we were staying at The Jefferson Hotel. Dinner was somewhat problematic. We found the service rushed and brusque, the menu somewhat limited and quirky, and the food generally good. Breakfast the next morning, however, was a delight. Service was superb, menu was extensive, food was spectacular. I'm not sure whether or not our dinner was an anomaly, so I would want to try it again and see.

    Experience here highly dependant on server. Ours was excellent at this outing! Food was well prepared. While unavoidable, having dinner when there's a wedding on a saturday night did cause the delivery of high value service and was challenging. Management should be aware, or should know, when these situation arise and direct staff to additional service.

    Lemaire never disappoints! We were there for a business meal and were easily able to have our discussions and enjoy a delicious meal. Service also was excellent as was the wine!
