To any and all who have endured lengthy waits at Marjorie, happy news! The colorful Capitol Hill jewel box with seating for just 40 is getting bigger, per a post on the restaurant’s blog. “We are planning on creating a lovely and intimate private dining room, and a place to house a little of that weekend overflow,” it reads.

That’s a picture of owner Donna Moodie in the space, situated to the rear of the restaurant.

I have a message in with Moodie and will update details as they come.

Until the expansion is completed, keep in mind the alfresco seating out front is a) charming and b) sometimes a speedier option than waiting to perch inside.
