    Great halibut dish...but a bit spicy. Wish the batter on the artichokes could be lighter. Red cabbage was good but a bit salty. Was disappointed in the Pequad cocktail, as there was no grapefruit or tarragon taste. Description notes grapefruit soda, but there was zero carbonation, totally flat and no taste. Juan & Jalen (training) provided excellent service.

    First time dining, chose the Taste of the Majestic to maximize my experience & wasn’t disappointed. The Crab Rangoon was delicately flavored, Steak Tartare balanced in its spices, Harvest Salad a wonderful combination of fruit & greens & the Grilled Rack of Lamb sorghum glaze was complemented by the roasted brussels sprouts & parsnip purée. Our servers were attentive and not intrusive, enhancing the dining experience. The seating reminded me of European dining, close but not crowded. It made for a great evening out.

    The Majestic has a lively, energetic atmosphere with a packed house, so it’s on the louder side—but that just adds to the buzz of the place. We went with the tasting menu, which allows you to pick four courses per person. We each chose different dishes and shared, making for a fantastic variety. Standouts included the beef tartare, oxtail baklava, crispy artichokes, and goat cheese-stuffed dates—each one packed with great flavors. The salads were also excellent, though the kale was a little more subtle than Harvest’s version. For entrées, the halibut was outstanding, especially with the white bean side. The salmon was good, though I found it a bit fishy for my taste, while my dining companion didn’t think it was as noticeable. The succotash it came with was excellent. Service was generally good, though not particularly memorable. Our server was friendly, but we did have to wait a bit at the end while he was on his phone before we could get the check. We wrapped up with the coconut cake, which was absolutely delicious and the perfect way to end the meal. Overall, The Majestic delivers an amazing tasting menu with standout dishes, and while it can be a bit loud, the food makes it well worth a visit.
