    1870 was amazing. It was my first time there and I would definitely go back. We sat at the high tops at the bar and the noise level was good, not too loud. It got a little louder as the night went on but I could still hear my husband. The food was amazing! The service was phenomenal! Aiden was on top of it and always checking in. He explained what would taste best and very attentive.

    Excellent Friday night dinner at Midlothian Chef’s Kitchen. We ordered 2 appetizers - pork dumplings & squash soup. Entrees were seared rockfish & bone in pork chop. Crème brûlée for dessert. All items were delicious. Service was friendly & professional. Vibe was casual & relaxed. Chef’s Kitchen is a Midlo treasure.

    If I could give 100/10, I would. Food, service, ambience all on point as always. L'Opossum is a true gem and Richmond is so lucky to have her. Smoked Trout Winter Salad and Moroccan Chicken still lingering on the tip of my tongue.

    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.
