The Majestic Restaurant

I wasn't sure what to expect but I really enjoyed our dinner here.  The place is so cool, tin ceilings, original wood and stained glass.  I loved the ambience.  Our waiter was great.  My first impression is that it was very reasonably priced.  $38 for a steak with a salad and 2 side dishes.  Can't beat that.  The salad was very good, good size, good dressing, can't complain.  The steak is what it is all about and my steak was perfect.  Perfectly cooked medium rare, so tender and delicious.  I had a baked potato and green beans.  Both were fine, standard steak house fare.  I kind of wish they had a great potato dish like a fabulous smashed garlic or something.  I will go back for the great steak.

Went there for dinner and we got seated downstairs with the Jazz band.    The music was good, a little bit on the loud side, but good.

The food was OK, passable, nothing to write home about.    Two of us had dinner and we got the filet and the strip.   OK.     The rolls are cold and not good at all, the sides are not bad.   I got the rice and the asparagus.       I think I will try a different place for steak next time I am in downtown.

I had a plethora of steakhouse choices in Kansas City and selected The Majestic based upon the recommendation of some locals. Glad I did.

Very impressive and historic old school ambiance, from the main level restaurant and bar to the downstairs jazz club section where they also serve food and have a cozy little bar.

Started off with a bottle of Jordan Cabernet, which was reasonably priced, followed with a honey mustard viniagrette dressing salad (very tastey) and house special that evening--a 14 ounce bone in KC Strip that was cooked perfectly at medium rare. Potato was good, creamed spinach a little too creamy for my tastes. Bread was decent, nothing worth noting. Enjoyed this outstanding meal while listening to a wonderful jazz trio directly in front of us. I have read earlier reviews where the sound level was loud, but I did not find that to be the case and was able to conduct conversations with the other people at my table.

I am a cigar aficionado and was disappointed the Pendergast Cigar Club was closed that evening for a private event (it is also closed on Sunday evenings)....it was ashame because from the pictures I saw, it looks like a real nice club that I will have to frequent  on my next visit to town.
