Marjorie was a restaurant in Seattle, in the U.S. state of Washington. Owner Donna Moodie operated the business in Belltown from 2003 to 2008, before relocating to Capitol Hill. The restaurant closed in 2023, but is slated to re-open at a new location.
Description
Marjorie was a Black- and woman-owned restaurant in Seattle,[1] [2] [3] named after the owner's mother.[4] Laurie Wolf said the restaurant had "romantic and bustling" ambiance and a "moody and vibrant" interior.[5] Marjorie also had a patio.[6]
Seattle Metropolitan said, "The menu plays globe-trotting homage to Italy (porchetta, housemade gnocchi), India (tikka masala chicken), and the American South (in the past, a juicy pork shank with grits and greens and red-eye gravy)".[7] It included Jamaican-style jerk chicken, jalapeño hushpuppies, plantain chips, collard greens, sweet potatoes,[8] and brioche bread pudding.[9] [10] The True Burger had beef topped with bone marrow aioli and harissa ketchup,[11] and was served with French fries.[12]
History
Owner Donna Moodie opened the restaurant in Belltown in 2003.[13] The location closed in late 2008,[14] and later re-opened at the intersection of 14th and Union on Capitol Hill.[15]
Josh Davenport was named chef in 2012.[16] Joseph Bollag became chef in 2014,[17] and Challisa Parisi was the chef as of mid 2015. Francisco Ruiz was named chef in 2017.[18] Cheyenne DeLoach was chef, as of 2023.[19]
The restaurant's plantains were sold in store nationwide and online as Miss Marjorie's Steel Drum Plantains.[20] [21] [22] Marjorie has used robots to package to-go meals in bowls and boxes.[23]
The restaurant closed in March 2023. Marjorie is slated to re-open to the Central District.[24] [25]
