Crust on my french toast almost inedible as it could not be cut. Also you went overboard with cream on top of toast. Wife had 3 egg breakfast and asked for cheese on eggs; could barely taste any cheese. Overall a bit disappointing
The MajesticResponded 1 day ago
Thanks for the review, William. We're sorry to hear that your experience at The Majestic didn't meet your expectations. We take pride in our food and it's disappointing to hear that the crust on your French toast and the cheese on your eggs did not meet our usual high standards. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve. We hope you'll give us another chance to impress you in the future. Best, Mackenzie Hampson, Assistant General Manager

It was ok last night . Was first seated at the table closest to the the front door . Asked for a different table and then was given the last table by the kitchen . ( not much better) but did not want to say anything so sat there. Was very difficult to carry on a conversation with the noise by the kitchen and the regular noise .

We recently celebrated my father’s birthday at The Majestic and had a wonderful time. The ambiance and music were fantastic, creating a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere. The food was equally impressive—my mother thoroughly enjoyed her salad, I loved the rack of lamb, and my father couldn’t stop raving about the unique oxtail baklava. The service was pleasant, though there’s room for a bit of improvement, possibly due to our late evening visit. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be returning for another special occasion.

Excellent service, great food (we had the salmon and the haddock). The bites were also great (we had the figs and the crab Rangoons). Cocktails were delicious and the wine list had some very good wines. We’ve been to other Alexandria Restaurant Partners restaurants and expected this to be good. It was outstanding.

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.
