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.

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!

Went for Valentine’s Day. They gave each couple a rose which was really nice. The dinner rolls had to be ordered as an appetizer but they were really really good. We got the steak frites and hamburger. Both were delicious. We also got the snickerdoodle crème brûlée and that was also tasty. No complaints!

Food was great as was the service. We reserved well in advance for 5 people and they had us at a 4 person table which was not very comfortable. Other than that it was a nice experience.

The food was amazing, but the wait to be seated was frustrating. We had a 7:15 reservation but still had to wait for 30 mins to be seated. Not ideal when you plan ahead

Food was good and well priced. Service was just OK-the servers don’t know the menu well. Our party of two was called to leave at the two-hour mark by a very rude member; we still had food and drinks since they were slow to bring them out.
