Since 1932, the Majestic has been a fixture on King Street in Old Town Alexandria. Step inside and you'll feel like you've taken a trip to yesteryear. There's jazz in the air and cocktail shakers at the bar, famous for its selection of unique whiskies and spirits. Dine in for a sophisticated lunch, open a bottle of wine from the extensive list, gather around the bar with friends old and new, or cuddle up in a booth for a romantic dinner. Open for dinner and weekend brunch.

After reviewing the majestic website I made a reservation for dinner on Thanksgiving. The website dinner menu offered a tasting menu for $49/person or individual selections to suit your needs (I’m a vegetarian). When our party arrived, we were told that a tasting menu for $80/person was all that was offered with little vegetarian options. No apologies for false advertising as they pointed out the OpenTable reservation lists the offering that night. Bait and switch, beware! I went to Namaste Jalsa down the street instead and had a great vegetarian meal!

Very enjoyable Thanksgiving dinner at the Majestic. I had the red snapper, really delicious. Service was prompt and friendly. My companions had the prime rib. Their only complaints were about the dull steak knives. The appetizer plate was varied and tasty.

I was not aware on Thanksgiving you could only order from the thanksgiving menu nowhere on the website did I see that just saw it was an option. Portions were very small! My mom had ordered the prime rib medium well and she was brought medium rare and I had said I had a dairy and gluten sensitivity and was told the cheesecake did not have dairy. Was sick once I got home what a way to spend thanksgiving! The restaurant was very small and way overcrowded I kept getting knocked into by people walking by and my chair was in as far as it would go and lastly the restroom was dirty. We were not pleased with the amount we spent here!

The food was great. We did a set price menu. I don’t know if they have it all the time but we had 4 courses for 49$ and they were terrific. Our waiter was great attentive and had good suggestions. Can’t wait to go back.
