    As soon we got there, we got the table but the server was slow to get the menu for us. We asked for the refills for water but they never come back. But other than that everything was good.

    We come often when we’re in town and the service is always excellent. Many of the public facing staff have been there for years, if not decades. The brunch is solid and fairly priced for the market. The coffee and champagne were excellent. The seafood omelette was more than my wife could eat. The fried catfish meal changed: it now just comes with a large pile of fries rather than poached eggs and home fries. Still good but I preferred the previous version.

His positive energy and knowledge of the menu contributed to an outstanding dining experience. I was celebrating a special occasion, and he pulled out all the stops to make it memorable. I will definitely be back.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Majestic for Valentine's Day, and I can't express enough how amazing the experience was! The food was absolutely divine. We had the grilled spanish octopus, it had such a nice spice to it. It’s clear that the chefs take immense pride in their craft. The service was incredible and attentive, ensuring that our glasses were never empty and that we had everything we needed. Juan, our server, was friendly and knew the menu and bar very well. Despite the business of Valentine’s Day we never felt rushed and we truly appreciated taking our time throughout dinner. Majestic consistently delivers an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!
