Marjorie Restaurant

Marjorie is the culmination of CEO/Founder Donna Moodie’s 30-year career as one of Seattle’s most visionary and successful restauranteurs. Across three locations, for more than two decades Marjorie has retained its singular appeal for Seattle diners.

Originally opened in Belltown in 2003, Marjorie moved to Capitol Hill in 2010 where the faithful soon followed and the restaurant gained an even wider, more diverse audience. Donna closed Marjorie in 2023 but her story wasn’t over.

Now triumphantly reimagined in the Central District’s thriving Midtown Square development, Marjorie returns with fresh, full-speed-ahead energy and all its culinary cred and familiar funky charm intact. The kitchen’s focus on dishes locally sourced and globally inspired remains the same while the dining room’s signature cozy warmth and feel-good buzz are infused with a ripened intimacy and sophistication.  

One thing that hasn’t changed over the years - the love and support of our extended family throughout the Seattle community. Marjorie has always been your place to come as you are, always.

Marjorie

Owner Donna Moodie named Marjorie in homage to her beloved mother. A warm, welcoming hostess and inspired home cook, Marjorie delighted in bringing people together around the family table to partake of delicious food and spirited conversation.

Trailing her mom around the kitchen as a young girl in Jamaica and Chicago’s South Side, Donna gained respect for uncompromising “scratch” cooking using only the highest quality ingredients, supplied by local merchants and farmers whenever possible. She also absorbed Marjorie’s ability to nurture a diverse mix of friends, family and guests with her unique brand of gracious hospitality.

Throughout her trailblazing career, Donna has always sought to emulate the values Marjorie instilled in her and use them to build and celebrate community. Today she continues to see to it that Marjorie’s joie de vivre and passion for entertaining inform every detail of the restaurant named lovingly in her honor.
