Small, Intimate, and Classy! Professional, knowledgeable, and attentive staff. We were celebrating an anniversary, and we received a complimentary glass of champagne plus a small sweet treat at the end❤️. The menu is small but done superbly.

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.

Food was 3.5. I ordered the lamp chops which were cooked medium and seasoned well. My fiancé got the Vaso’s Shrimp which was good. There seem to be a vent above our table that looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in a while. However, after each customer dined, the table cloths were changed. Overall rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another excellent meal at Augie's with friends. The onion soup was great, and, as always, the mussels are excellent.
