    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.

    I usually don’t write reviews but the service and food at The Study warrants praise! Our server, Rodney, offered great recommendations and an excellent vibe. The meals were delicious and our favorite dish was the octopus entree. We got to meet Manny, who made us unique and delicious cocktails! Our experience was only topped by getting to meet Chef Maddie and learning more about the menu. We will definitely return to the study
