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.

I have been to Majestic many times and thoroughly enjoy it. During our last visit, we have a tasting menu, which consisted of four small courses. This was absolutely delicious and allowed us to try smaller portions of dishes we'd not otherwise get a chance to sample. My favorite is the dates stuffed with goat cheese and the Zucchini Pesto with Fusilli. The restaurant also has a great assortment of cocktails, wine, beer and other spirits. The ambiance is pleasant and I love the restaurant's rich history. Service was a little slow, but I appreciate the fact that the restaurant is not in a hurry to turn tables.

Four of us had a delightful meal on New Year’s Day. The tasting menu is a great value and the half-price wine on Wednesday was a nice surprise.

Kareem was excellent. The guy was always paying attention to all of his tables and could virtually sense when people were low on drinks or wanted to order something else. A+++ for that guy!

Our table of 9 went for dinner on New Years Eve. The food was delicious and service quick considering the size of our party on a holiday evening. Most of us ordered the hanger steak and it was yummy! The pepper infused cocktail was wonderful, too.

The bar was slammed and drinks took a really long time to come up. Our waiter, Ben actually had to make them himself. Food was very good and well presented. Water glasses are small and we asked for refills multiple times. The place is small, and we (a party of three) were seated at the very back by the kitchen. The noise level was very loud.

The service was great. Everyone was very attentive and friendly. I have a hearing disability. I struggled to hear my friends at the table. It is a noisy place. Perhaps we would have had better luck at a booth.
