Charming
Good for special occasions
Neighbourhood gem

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.

The ambiance of the restaurant is unfortunately lacking, with dim lighting and a somewhat uninviting atmosphere. During my visit, the manager began vacuuming while guests were still dining, even making contact with my foot, which was unpleasant. While the food was fine, it did not justify the overall experience or the price point.

On a average Saturday night service was particularly slow; it took a few minutes after being seated before the waitress came to our table and another twenty minutes before our drinks were served. We also attempted to order not one, but two different bottles of champagne only to be told they were out of both. They also couldn’t get the lightening adjusted to their liking - darkened, brightened and darkened again.

We come to Alexandria for the last 6 years for our anniversary and we always eat at The Majestic. This is the first time that the food was underwhelming! My octopus was slimy , my husbands steak was under cooked and cold. The waitress was very very much accommodating but seemed over worked and we could barely hear her. She did give us a free desert to commemorate our day. Both my husband and I got violently ill a couple of hours after after, we haven’t been able to keep food down since. Not 100 % it was the food but seemed like it
