the majestic

the food and menu variety were acceptable, the problem was our waiter. he was impatient and very obtuse with us. he gave off the impression that we were keeping him from a more important matter. this resulted in a very unpleasant atmosphere. the straw that broke the camel's back was when he saw it as his prerogative to fill in the customer comment card with 5s forserviceand overall experience before giving it to us. i have never seen that done before and i hope i never will. i did leave a tip but he by no means earned or deserved it. i highly doubt i will return but if i do i will ask for a different waiter if he is serving me.

we truly enjoyed a fabulous dining experience at the majestic! we were walk in's for an early dinner and we chose the 3 course regal dinner.servicewas far better that we have experienced in other king street dining establishments. starting with a perfect she crab soup and a table side prepared caesar. followed by meat loaf (always a favorite and was very happy with the flavor and moist texture). the sea food stew was generous and filled with a rich broth filled with a tremendous variety of tender delicacies. we finished with coconut cake and peach cobbler. both were excellent. will be back soon to revel in the majesty of the majestic!!!

pro/con on the three course. on the pro side, considering the deserts run close to $10, it's a good value on the non-upcharge entrees. downside was that four deserts were one or two too many, and as a couple involved ice cream in some fashion, didn't lend themselves to boxing for later.
ceasar (tableside prep), meatloaf, liver & onions, seafood stew, and whole fish entrees were excellent, withserviceto match. nice selection of craft beer from local producers.
not as loud inside as i expected, given the close proximity of tables.

great food bad waiter. this was our second time eating at this establishment. we had a wonderful meal on the first visit--and good service, as well. on our second visit we had, by far, bar none, the 100% absolute worstservicei have ever had at any restaurant--ever!!! our waiter was rude pass the point of misunderstanding or poor training. we had trouble getting him to take our drink order--25 minutes passed before the first drink order was even taken--then the waiter only took drink orders for half the table. we were never offered another beverage after that---very strange. the entrees were brought to the table at different times for several members of our party. the waiter rolled his eyes and argued with our requests at every turn. it was a struggle with this gent all night--not very relaxing or fun to say the least. the only time there was any sense of urgency was after the desserts came--then we felt rushed. so much can be forgiven if the server has a pleasant attitude. it is too bad as the food was good--very good on both visits. many of the supporting staff were quite nice and helpful. bottom line--never again--not at these prices--not with so many other choices in town. many places have good food and consistently good service. why put yourself through this? get it together majestic!

the highlight of our trip to the dc area! best food andserviceof the whole visit

went here for cocktails and while the cocktails were ok theservicewas not. bartender was not attentive and rude.

a first-class restaurant! we sampled several first-courses, tapas style, accompanied by some excellent wine. everything we tried was superb... even the grilled cheese sandwiches we ordered for the kids were excellent! the atmosphere was very inviting and theservicewas attentive. it was among the best dining experiences we have had.
