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.

Our server Jenna was wonderful. She made my birthday celebration extra special. The food was wonderful, and the ambiance is beautiful and welcoming. The only drawback is the noise level, which is high.

7/10. It’s not mid, it’s not great though. It’s cool. This might be a good spot to just meet up for drinks, but for a dinner, it’s meh. Food is good but not great as many reviews suggested.
