"Marjorie’s new location is exactly where you should go for a special, yet approachable, dinner. Each dish is a fun mash-up of flavors, including braised brisket with pink peppercorn dukkah and satsuma vinegar, and hushpuppies with arbol-spiked honey butter. Take advantage of their stylish dining room complete with paintings from local artists. You can also reserve a cozy area for when a private birthday party must involve mac and cheese and a perfectly tart lemonade." - aimee rizzo, lidiya belete, kayla sager riley
"What’s old is new again! Resurrected through a partnership with the City of Seattle’s Business Community Fund, owner Donna Moodie’s culinary ode to her mom soft-reopened in late October in its third incarnation. (Longtime Seattleites will remember Marjorie‘s previous Belltown and Capitol Hill locations.) Now in the Central District, sandwiched between Jerk Shack and the Neighbor Lady in Midtown Square’s courtyard, the new Marjorie has a big, beautiful centerpiece bar to perch oneself at and even a few of its signature record players. Marjorie’s menu has always been a global party, and its reincarnation keeps the beat going with soulful dishes from North Africa, France, the Caribbean… or wherever else may strike Moodie’s and chef Aislinn McManigal-Quintana’s fancy. What a privilege to get to go there again and find out." - Harry Cheadle
"Marjorie isn’t technically a “new” place. But after nearly two years of absence, the beloved restaurant has reemerged in the Central District, delivering a fresh focus on regional ingredients and a stunning new bar designed for cocktail aficionados. Shelves of wine and spirits tower up to the ceiling, and there’s not a single bad seat at the large, U-shaped bartop. The staff here is skilled with all the classics (including some truly impressive NA drinks), but be sure to inquire about evening specialties." - Brianna Gunter
"A year and a half after celebrated Seattle institution Majorie closed its doors, owner Donna Moodie is reopening her global bistro this week in Midtown Square at 24th and Union, in the heart of the Central District. The menu thinks globally but shops locally, taking cues from all genres of cuisine and especially local Pacific Northwest produce. Referring to Marjorie’s previous incarnations, Moodie says, “People would see a Caribbean dish on the menu and they’re like ‘You’re Jamaican,’ but it wasn’t really... It could be a blend of North African and Mediterranean, or I’ll serve French rosé with an olive tapenade.”" - Meg van Huygen
"After closing down her legendary Capitol Hill restaurant this March, Donna Moodie was supposed to open a new place called Boujie Bar in the Midtown Square development. [...]" - Harry Cheadle
