| - We hadn't been to Majerle's in over a year, so decided to visit for dinner and watch a game or two. The service was very good and the waitress was attentive, without being annoying. I was disappointed to see that the menu is exactly the same as it has been for several years. I had to stifle a yawn or 2 perusing the tired, outdated offerings listed. I wonder if patrons even know who some of the people are that have signature items on the menu?! We ordered a beer and a glass of wine. The waitress delivered large, icy glasses of water garnished with lemon-looked delicious! Imagine the dismay when I took a large sip and immediately tasted nasty, Phoenix tap water! . The drinks came next and I was surprised to see wine served in a tiny, cheap wine glass exactly like the ones you get in a Chinese food restaurant! My companion ordered a burger and fries, and I ordered the Asian Chicken Salad. The food is average at best, but the salad was nothing more than a pile of greens with a chicken breast plopped in the middle. Won Ton strips surrounded the lettuce, and a big pile of slimy roasted red pepper glob on top! . Good thing the dressing was good enough to put some sort of flavor into this drab concoction.
The atmosphere at Majerle's is loud and big screen TVs adorn the walls. I recall a time many years ago, where it was a hot place to be, with waits for tables and a crowded bar. It was fun and interesting. Not so now. Friday night at 7 found an almost empty bar, and a half full restaurant. Now I know why.
