Overall, our experience at The Majestic was superb. The server gave us excellent recommendations and was very polite. The food was outstanding—highly recommend the burger! The ambiance was perfect for our anniversary dinner! 10/10

The Majestic is our go-to restaurant in Old Town Alexandria. Nothing beats it for ambience and service. The food is always changing and adapting to keep it tasty and interesting, and the bar and craft cocktails (and whiskey selection!) are unbeatable.

Very romantic vibe. Waiters and Waitresses were extremely catering to needs. They checked on you frequently. Food came out fast, hot, and absolutely delicious. My fiance ordered the burger and I order mussels. We also order the dumplings as an appetizer and they were so delicious! Highly recommended restaurant for a quiet, romantic night with your loved one.

I truthfully had one of the best meals in my 3+ years. As always Daphne is the best, cocktails were excellent, table side service from Eddy was excellent. So happy my neighborhood bar and restaurant is back open.

We had a lovely belated Valentine's dinner - the Valentine's prices fix menu was delish! This isn't our first visit to the Majestic and its won't be our last!

Our meals -?sea bass and scallops tasted a bit salty. The beet salad was good.
Thank you so much for your honest feedback, Katie. We do apologize about the Sea Bass and Scallops and have shared your feedback with our culinary team so we may work to improve. We hope you will give us another opportunity to impress you!
We were underwhelmed, specifically by our waiter. Our drinks took almost 15 minutes, my husband was given the incorrect beer - twice - and we didn't feel take cared of. The food was okay but I think we would have felt better about the experience overall if we felt more attended to, especially for what we paid. Overall, "meh".
Excellent!!!
Thank you so much for the five-star review, Karina!
Nice cozy yet distanced atmosphere. Drinks were awesome, try the LaVidaLoca if you like spice.

I was disappointed with the eating environment so we carried out. The food was excellent. The prices are high.
Such a cool vibe place! Great for sweet Old Town...
Thank you so much for the five-star review, Jill! We have listened to your comments and will work to improve. We are looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Unfortunately the food was extremely salty and almost made it inedible. HOWEVER, my friends who ordered something different did not experience that so maybe it was just the quiche and the salad.

Hi, Nenette. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We are so happy you felt comfortable during you dine with us and we loved reading about your experience. It was a pleasure serving you and we hope to see you again soon!
Monkey bread was comped because it took longer than usual. The staff immediately let us know they would comp us and the chef brought us another appetizer to have in the meantime. I thought that was overall an excellent experience and was not expected. The monkey bread was worth the wait. Keep up the great service.
Thank you so much for the five-star review! We are so happy we were able to satisfy your time with us. It was a pleasure serving you and we are thrilled you enjoyed the Monkey Bread. We hope to see you again soon!
Majestic has been a favorite restaurant of mine for many years. It was a fantastic to have a special celebration there the other night, everything was perfect | drinks were outstanding, food delicious as ever, and the evening was so well done. Thanks for being strong through the pandemic Majestic, we will be back again soon.

Really my favorite joint in old town. A real favorite and a very long term restaurant. And for good reason! It’s cozy and clubby with excellent food and service. You won’t be disappointed
Thank you for the great review, Mario! We are honored by your kind words. We are so happy you have enjoyed your time with us, from the food to the service, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
The food and service were both good and enjoyable. It was a busy evening, but it was well managed and service attentive. My only pause in rating Majestic 5/5 is the noise level which forces people to speak louder to be heard or lean in a lot; in a COVID indoor seating situation, no or lower music levels would be more suitable.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy you enjoyed the food and the service. We greatly appreciate your feedback and will share it with our management team so we can work to improve. It was a pleasure serving you and we hope to see you again soon!
This is one our favorite places to eat. The service has always been great and it didn’t disappoint this evening. My wife and I had the mussels. We were told they were the last servings they had of them and it was only 6:00 pm. They were awful. They were slimy and stuck to the shells to the point we struggled to get them out of the shell. We also had one of their “Buy local” discount cards. Either they didn’t know what it was or didn’t know how to apply the discount. Either way, the manager made us feel like we were trying to rip them off for $20.00. We will be back but won’t order the mussels.
Thank you for your honest feedback. We take great pride in the quality of all our dishes and are sorry to hear that the Mussels fell short during your recent dine. We have shared this feedback directly with our culinary team and we thank you for giving us another opportunity to impress you.
We went during Happy Hour, the burger was amazing. It was so juicy and had so much flavor. The drinks were delicious. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend.

Our first visit to The Majestic and we loved it. The menu was a limited Christmas Day special, however, it was great. Our server, Josh, was professional, friendly, and fun. Loved the ambiance; we're looking forward to returning.

The Majestic has re-captured its glory and divine food reputation! Two of us ate there on Christmas Eve and it was outstanding! The waiter could not have been more attentive and more well-versed in both the menu and in excellent pairings with wine and cocktails. Very impressive! Don’t hesitate to go— it was romantic, it was delicious, it was lovely!

Server was terrific - knowledgeable and just the right balance of service. Had an opinion about both wine and food which was helpful, liked his confidence. Ambience was great. Food was very good - not off the charts, but very good. Coconut cake always fabulous.

Great service from the greeting to the waiter (Hugo was great!). Interesting cocktails, the two appetizers (rolls and parsnip agnolotti) were superb! Nice romantic ambiance. HIGHLY recommended.

We had a good brunch and our bartender Daphne was amazing! My only complaint was that my food could have used more crab meat w/ a smaller English muffin and my food was cold 🥶
The manager came over to say hello which added a nice touch as well.
Hi, Karen. Thank you so much for the five-star review! We deeply apologize about your food and we will share your feedback with our culinary staff to ensure that this does not happen again. We will share your kind words with Daphne and we hope to see you again soon!
Was in Alexandria for a wedding and saw wonderful reviews for The Majestic. We had a tasty brunch, a bloody mary and mimosa with excellent service.
Hi, thank you so much for the five-star review! We are so thrilled you enjoyed your brunch experience with us and we hope to see you again soon.
Beat Bloody Mary in Alexandria! Or maybe in Virginia!
Hi, Hollis. Thank you so much for the great review! We are so happy you enjoyed your Bloody Mary and we hope to see you again soon.
Terrible Thanksgiving dinner here. First of all, they were out of turkey and stuffing on Thanksgiving?!? Yet had no problem taking our reservation the week prior. Terrible planning on their part.
Drinks were flat, food came out at weird times, first course pasta dish was exactly the same as the side course Mac N Cheese they later brought out. Prime rib was terrible, cooked very poorly and an extremely fatty cut. Desserts were frozen and not even thawed before served. Panna cotta was like soup with an ice crust. Wouldn’t recommend going here based on our experience, which was over $150 for a thanksgiving dinner for 2. Others around us appeared to have a similar experience.
