    I have been to Majestic many times and thoroughly enjoy it. During our last visit, we have a tasting menu, which consisted of four small courses. This was absolutely delicious and allowed us to try smaller portions of dishes we'd not otherwise get a chance to sample. My favorite is the dates stuffed with goat cheese and the Zucchini Pesto with Fusilli. The restaurant also has a great assortment of cocktails, wine, beer and other spirits. The ambiance is pleasant and I love the restaurant's rich history. Service was a little slow, but I appreciate the fact that the restaurant is not in a hurry to turn tables.

    Went on Taco Tuesday for the all you can eat tacos. The food was delicious. The server was mistaken on what exactly we ordered, so the initial plate came with rice and beans. Make sure to order the Taco Tuesday special, or they will charge you for the rice and beans. In any case, the margarita was good too, just a nice place for a mid-week dinner. Saw other menu items brought out to other tables and it all looked and smelled wonder.
