Great food and service! We came here for lunch with our 2 kids. Ally was our server and was super friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. We have been coming here for years but the food this time was exceptional. The kids menu is perfect and portions are great. The drinks here are also excellent but we didn't order any during lunch. Highly recommend for lunch or dinner! read more

Our group of six celebrated a birthday with dinner at The Majestic. Under new management, The Majestic is both fit for foodies and a great neighborhood restaurant. The new chef and sommelier make the updated Majestic an incredible addition to the Alexandria restaurant scene. You can go for comfort food - a burger or roasted half chicken - or you can go for intriguing New American food with a Mediterranean twist. It's all terrific. GM and sommelier Jason can suggest great wine pairings by the glass - interesting, high quality wines that bring out the best in both food and wine but that aren't budget busters. Our group especially enjoyed the scallops and saffron rice (a beautifully plated dish of rice surrounded with scallops, mussels, clams and persillade/nduja sauce); the grilled salmon (a hearty piece of fresh fish complemented with a generous serving of corn, pickled ramps, roasted shishito peppers, peas and tomato relish); mouthwatering braised brisket arancini; and crispy artichokes. The Parker House rolls were a classic indulgence. Our desserts - coconut cake and chocolate mousse - were delicious. Thank you to chef Santiago, GM Jason, and server Fiona for such a special evening! read more

Such a wonderful mother's day experience for my mom. This placed was wonderful and would 100% go back again! This place was in fact very "majestic" inside. Great vibes and fancy decorating. The food was all phenomenal. My mom loved her salad and ate every bite. The salmon benedict was incredible. Great flavors with the garnishing on top and the potatoes were perfectly cooked and great service, our waitress was very attentive as well as the other staff. read more

What happened and who was working the bar tonight?? We keep this place in our usual happy hour rotation, but tonight may have been the final. 4 staff members standing behind the bar staring at my empty glass. I overheard one say she was still in training, and I can't help but to suggest that full customer service become her next module. After grabbing her attention, from her standing around arms crossed, she took our refill of rose' order on a notepad, sat it down and never filled it. We waited another 15 minutes watching staff strike up conversation with everyone around us, yet not us. Implicit bias was on full display tonight, Majestic management. It was apparent and obvious and you've lost solid customers. ETA: realized we were also grossly overcharged and had to call back to the restaurant to have the bill pulled and itemized items had items of a French Wine (3 glasses) that were not ordered read more

Came here for dinner after work. This place has been on my radar for quite some time food was tasty drink was good. My friend enjoyed her meal as well. Parking is on the street and it's free. Ambience is nice and I like the local decor. No issues with service bathroom is clean. Price isn't rather high but I actually didn't mind it so much given the quality of the food. If I was in the area I would come back again. read more

***Happy Hour Review I first learned about this restaurant through a Yelp event a few years ago. Was in the area with time to kill so this was perfect. Got a parking spot right out front - paid via ParkMobile. It was during happy hour. The specials are great. The bar was crowded but luckily I was able to snag a seat. The bartenders provided great service and were friendly. Other patrons were nice and engaged in conversation with me. I ordered a glass of red wine on the happy hour. It was a cab and pretty good. I also got the beef sliders - tasty. I would definitely visit again for happy hour, but either way, I need to come back for the other menu items! read more

My bestie and I booked a table at 530 for the new menu and it blew us away. I had never been and I loved the chandeliers and deep purple tones of the restaurant. We started with the harvest salad & crispy artichokes which were so delicious. The artichokes were perfectly fried. The salad was so fresh. Then the scallops & branzino were so good. The branzino was the stand out of the night read more

The service was superb. It spoke for itself. Our waitress was so amazing. The right amount of attentive and made the menu items sound delicious. Came in for lunch and got the French onion sandwich and mushroom Alfredo. It was perfection. The parmesan fries were so good I had to get a whole side order. I cannot recommend this enough. The decor is also super cute. Its giving traditional but with an elevated twist. Bravo majestic! read more

The Majestic - New American Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

The Majestic is a New American restaurant in Old Town with Mediterranean influences. It strikes a good balance of being an everyday neighborhood restaurant that's also great for special occasions. They have majestic hour at the bar only M-F 3-7pm. The HH menu has a wide variety of options for food and drinks. I really enjoyed the burger sliders, Caesar salad and arancini. The service was great and the portion sizes were filling. read more

The Majestic has evolved over the years and seems to have found their place in Old Town. The restaurant offers some very good southern style meals. I had the salmon and it was nicely seasoned over a delicious succotash. The restaurant was very crowded but the bartender did not miss a beat. She put some care into the cocktail. I was talked into their speciality cake and it was moist, irresistibly so, just as advertised. This is a worthwhile stop in the Old Town restaurant trail. read more

Food top notch. The steak tips were prepared with such care,excellent timing as our whole tables food came at the same time . Thw broccoli was prepared perfectly not too soggy and not too firm. The potatoes were like cream. Service was always around checking on us. The noise level is high on a Saturday night not sure if some corners are quieter or if the restaurant was designed to be loud and lively . I ate here about 2 weeks ago and the food is still fresh in my mind. Wish I had space for a dessert. Thank you to Visit Virginia to treating me to this meal well chosen read more

New chef and great flavors - the fries were fresh and flavorful, Michael our server was fantastic & the manager stopped by as well. I love the old world moody ambiance with real candles and real flowers in the table. The gluten free cauliflower is delicious and a flavor bomb , the arancini balls incredible. The Santini salad was a let out after those great flavors. Texture and flavorful felt ... off. Had an excellent grilled chicken harvest salad, beef carpaccio was super flavorful, steak frites excellent. The coconut cake was OK- felt a little bland and like maybe had been in fridge for too long?? The chocolate mouse was excellent! The margarita caipirinha really lovely - we'll be back. read more

The Majestic - MAJESTIC COCONUT CAKE / DARK CHOCOLATE MOUSSE - New American Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Arrived and immediately loved the vibe. Dark with lots of customers and great music. It was a VERY close quarters sitting at a two-top, however. The burrata was good but a bit wet and sweet. Nice flavors but I would have preferred the bread crunchy and on the side. Lamb shank was too salty to finish. It was well flavored and seasoned with warm spices but the unbalanced salt with salt added to the sauce, plus the delicious grits with plenty of cheese and salt gave me pause. The smoky pork chop was a win and was enjoyable with a simple sweet potato mash. The dark chocolate mousse had a velvety texture and used dark chocolate yet tasted creamy enough for many palettes. This also had more salt than needed so that distracted from the overall balance. I nursed a strong well-made old fashioned. Only time in my life I haven't finished a drink! I loved many things about this spot. The food quality was great but flavor combinations and execution weren't my favorite. I could see many people liking it more than me. read more

Everything 10/10! I cannot rant and rave about this place more. I visited with my sisters, nephew and daughter on a Sunday afternoon/evening. We tried the $49 menu. I forget what it's called but y'all EVERYTHING IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every thing is literally amazing. That's all I can say. Our server was Nicholas and he was amazing as well. He lacked nothing! Our drinks.... Perfection. The ambiance, PERFECTION! The only negative thing I have to say is that the kids menu is not good.. I got my daughter a grilled cheese (she's 3) the grilled cheese is on huge, tough sourdough and has like provolone cheese on it. Not yummy, not easy for a child to eat. Their choice of veggies is also not normal for children lol.. where's the simple broccoli and carrots? Nonetheless.. that didn't put a dent in my experience. We will just try chicken tenders next time or eat before coming back! read more

The food here is absolutely phenomenal. We also had an awesome waitress! I recommend the seafood artichoke dip!

Stopped into the Majestic for a couple cocktails and apps on a rainy night in the DMV recently. Was greeted by the bartender and I eventually chose the Midnight Libretto cocktail, I'd never had it before but it was perfect. The ginger and rye gave it a nice smoothe texture without it being overly liquid forward, a small bite candied ginger dissolved nicely with each sip. I ordered the crab rangoons and the burrata to eat. Both we're light and delightful and went will with my 1st and 2nd Midnight Libretto. The creamy inside of the crab rangoons went well with the crispy exterior and the sweet and sour sauce. The burratas was laid out on two pieces of toast with balsamic and some other toppings, just delicious. I complimented the bartender on making great drinks and hope to come back soon as it was a great experience and drink I would like to enjoy again. read more

Good Customer Service equates to Good Loving! Who doesn't love LOVE? I know I do! Picking up my empty sugar packets from the side of the table and keeping my table clean will have me in awe. Why? It's the small details for me! The Majestic is located in the hustle and bustle of King St. Really cute sign out front, this place has been here for years and I had never been. Thanks to my sidekick who's been everywhere, I got to try! The service was amazing! Everyone here works together. Love that! The place looks big because of the sign but the restaurant is actually narrow and long. There is a bar upfront so that is something to remember. Let's get into it! Traditional Breakfast- Solid! Good! Avocado Toast - Small portion compared to the price. Plating is beautiful, however the avocado is smashed and not a fave of mine. For those that don't mind it that way you'll love. Very light menu option. Coffee was PERFECT! Will definitely come back to try the happy hour and dinner menu! Cheers! read more

I've eaten at "The Majestic" a time or two and was surprised that I hadn't written a review before now. Let's make this one short and sweet. Located on Uber popular King Street in Old Town, this restaurant draws you in with the cool name and the movie like sign attached to the front. Once you enter, it's dimly lit and larger than it looks from outside. It has an ample amount of booth seating which is my favorite way to dine. I've had dinner here years ago and honestly I don't remember what I had to include it in the review, but the breakfast is solid. We weren't super hungry so this time out I had the traditional breakfast and she had the avocado toast. Both were very good. Service was excellent and our server was extremely attentive. Now, I want to come back for dinner so that my memory can be refreshed. I'm sure it was GOOD!! :) read more

The Majestic provided my friends and I a lovely dining experience. The menu had limited options but seems they were all specialty curated.

The Majestic has great ambience and vibes. It's got an intimate charm, moody lighting, very classy but not uptight and it's not too loud - perfect for a date night. I had the pan seared salmon with roasted corn and it was good. It gets packed even on a random weekday so I'd definitely recommend a reservation. read more

I have eaten here 4 or 5 times over the past year and have loved every time. The place has a small, dark, narrow vibe with an art deco feel and a fun little bar at the front. The service has always been professional and fun. The food is great. I love the Hanger Steak Frites, the Halibut, the Bone in Pork, and the Bolognese are all amazing. The Apple kale salad is great. For starters, the Parker House rolls, Beef Tartar, and Octopus are all top notch. The small bites are all good with special love for the Pimento Toast and Bacon Wrapped Dates. The bartenders here know their stuff and craft some great cocktails. This place is buzzing and reservations are a good idea, particularly for larger parties since seating for them are limited. Pro Tip, the make your own 4 Course Meal for $49 is an amazing deal for slightly smaller portions of the 4 items, but still a lot of food. read more

Made reservations here on a whim for a Friday night and we were not disappointed! Much like the rest of old town the majestic is an experience unique to itself. Long, dark and intimate setting and a menu that is worth exploring. We came on an extremely busy night where they looked to be at full capacity, but still had exceptional service. We are looking forward to returning to try more of the menu! read more

Well, day 1 in old-town and this place is delightful and we stumbled upon it by happen chance. Come to find out the Majestic is very dated and has been a spot for decades. The Burrata & Rangoon were simply amazing. We split a burger which I regret now as it too was on point. Service was splendid. Day 2, after sitting in line on a wait list at a farm to table joint we decided to hit the Majestic once again and Open Table had a convenient time open. This was fortunate because there was a wait as this spot as well. Saturday brunch menu was subtly different with more egg options. With that we chose the same burrata appetizer dish from yesterday, it's amazing. Brunch meals were the crab & corn omelette and the sour dough French toast. Both great options especially splitting with one another. Service today was sporadic at this elevated diner due to some server training but the Majestic is a great spot for a great meal. read more

The Majestic - BURATTA - New American Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

My first visit and it was a fantastic one! We went on a snow day... not too many patrons, but no beats were missed by staff or kitchen! The ambiance was lovely, the service was great (thanks, Nicholas!), and the food was delicious. Everything made us want a bit more. I got the salmon (delicious and tender over a mustard corn concoction), the hamburger was raved about by the hamburger lovers, and all sides and appetizers were yummy! The drinks? Hit the spot. Our dessert, the creme brulee, satisfied the inkling for a sweet treat, but wasn't the star of the show. While we have no complaints and will revisit asap, the meals for kiddos are quite limited/don't fancy a toddler's appetite. Not a problem that can't be fixed by leaving the kid at home. Hahaa, I kid! read more

The Majestic - Kids meal-GRILLED CHEESE and vegetables - New American Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Don't be fooled by the old school neon sign, this place has modern food and classy atmosphere. It is located conveniently in the heart of Alexandria on King street. Also, was one of the only restaurants open at 10p for late dinner after arriving into town. The service is fantastic and food came out quickly. Everything was tasty, but the star of the show was the Brussels sprouts. Portions of the calamari were really small. Really enjoyed the honey crisp apples in the salad. Highly recommend the Majestic, especially if you need a later dinner reservation read more

Throwback establishment. Old-timey vibe restaurant/tavern. Good menu. Friends and me stopped by a while back and I forgot I never did this review. The interior ambience is dark and kind of moody. The menu is great. Lots to drink and good food. We had duck livers... grilled octopus, drinks and some other stuff that I frankly wasn't quite paying attention to (or it's been awhile since we were there and I can't remember, lol). Good spot. A solid 4. Parking is a challenge given it is Old Town Alexandria but you'd enjoy this place. For sure. read more

My friends and I came here for dinner because they accepted a large party and we absolutely loved it! The food was wonderful along with the beverages. I got the salmon, which was great. My friends got the steak frites and different versions of the pasta (with and without meat). All of it was great. I am giving one star off because the Creme brûlée was not very good. Other than that, this was a great place! The service was wonderful too! For anyone looking for a good meal, this place in Alexandria is it. read more

First visit, about a week ago, and I'll definitely be back. Stuck with my usual old fashioned and it didn't disappoint. The lobster and artichoke dip was phenomenal -- borderline meal-stealing. Scallops came out cooked to perfection for my entree, and the server was attentive enough to drop some genuinely solid recommendations along the way. read more

Went for brunch and it was not too busy at all! We shared the monkey bread to start and it was very yummy, just wish it had a bit more icing. The avocado toast was pretty good but the chorizo croquettes stole the show! These were very good, lots of flavor. Overall, was a decent brunch. read more

3.5 stars I've been here a handful of times now. Pretty decent food. Latest was brunch this past Saturday for book club. The book was dark academia, and the rustic darker interior and vibes were just right, haha. The potatoes were amazing-- great flavor, nice and crispy. The crab omelette was really good too. I remember enjoying the Spanish octopus when I came for dinner, too. Biggest complaint at least this last visit was the service. We could barely find our server. I ended up having to pay my friend back because there was literally no one to flag down to help and I had to leave. They apparently couldn't bring our drinks because they were waiting on mugs... My espresso was brought in a mug instead of an espresso cup. Our food took about an hour. Overall they were likely understaffed as a lot of restaurants are, and the food is good, but man it was rough getting their attention. read more

We came here for a mid-day snack and absolutely loved the food and service we got. Our server (Nikolas) was extremely attentive and gave good suggestions for what we were looking for. We got the goat cheese stuffed dates, whipped feta dip, and the avocado toast and all 3 items were absolutely delicious in their own ways. The restaurant ambiance is also very nice, with an upscale, old-timey diner feel. This place is right on King Street so we were able to walk around after that which was nice. Would definitely recommend this spot! read more

Had our Galentines day celebration and this place is packed. THe Majestic is nicely located in Old Town Alexandria on King St. There are plenty of street parking or a big parking lot across the street. This is a very casual American comfort food with some good selection of cocktails. I had the steak and grits which was pretty decent. Also had the feta cheese dip with garlic pita. A friend of mine had the octopus for appetizer. Service is ok but they are packed so it is a bit slow getting our order. read more

Went during brunch on a Sunday afternoon. It was my second time here and wasn't disappointed either time. The food and drinks are always a hit! Started with the Oxtail Baklava (not pictured) and the Crispy Artichokes, both of which were flavorful and devoured. Had the Ragu Bolognese and Majestic Burger (prepared based on server recommendation with brioche bun and fries). The burger didn't last 5 mins and the bolognese only made it because I was full off of my latte. Service is always top tier and the spot is on the smaller side, but has great ambience. We had a slight issue towards the end of the meal, and were offered a free dessert to go which was great as this was a late birthday meal. Will be back soon to try the drinks ! read more

Here's a polished review you could post: Pedro made our experience absolutely wonderful! From the moment we were seated, he was friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. We were there celebrating my niece, and he helped make the occasion feel even more special with his warm and welcoming attitude. He provided excellent recommendations, especially the Majestic Burger, which was absolutely delicious and ended up being one of the highlights of our meal. He made sure our food came out promptly, checked on us throughout our visit, and ensured everything was perfect. Outstanding customer service like Pedro's is hard to come by. He went above and beyond to make our celebration memorable, and we truly appreciated his kindness and professionalism. We'll definitely be back, and we hope to have Pedro as our server again. Highly recommend! read more

This is Beautiful restaurant as soon as you walk in and they have a large bar and outdoor seating as well! I went here with my parents and we got to do the Taste of Majestic which was 5 course meal for $49 (which is a steal these days!!) we were able to try a variety of their salads, appetizers and entree's all which exceeded our expectations! It was all very fresh and flavorful! They have some seasonal items and rotate the menu pretty often. Our server was very accommodating and we definitely can't wait to come back again soon! read more
