Marjorie sits in the Central District's Midtown Square, the latest home for a restaurant owner Donna Moodie first opened in Belltown in 2003 and later moved to Capitol Hill before closing and reopening here. The kitchen's approach — dishes locally sourced and globally inspired — has carried through each iteration, and the dining room is built to flex: a bar for solo drop-ins, tables for two, and larger communal setups for groups.
Chef Aislinn McManigal-Quintana runs the kitchen alongside pastry chef Manda Mangrai, with Richard Ayres as general manager. The restaurant is named for Moodie's mother, a home cook whose approach to gathering people around a table shaped the concept from the start.
Marjorie has built a following as a Central District regular, showing up on Eater's Essential 38 and scoring an 8/10 from The Infatuation — recognition that lines up with its reputation as a neighborhood favorite, praised by regulars for refined soul food and consistently strong service.
