    Our server was upbeat and helped explain menu options and how to expect our plates to be served. The food was exceptional. The manager checked in several times to see how our evening was going. This was one of the best dining experiences we have had and I highly recommend it!

    Matchstick is our first stop for dinner when we fly in from Colorado. The food is fresh and delicious. Noah always picks the best wine for us and makes us feel like family!

    We had a reservation at 6PM, arrived at 5:45; several tables left and were replaced with several walk-ins without rez seated before us. We were seated in front of non-functional fireplace and in the view of hostess, by 6:25 my friend inquired to the male manager finally, (who never even smiled or greeted us for the 25 minutes milling around us). The hostess had the deer in the headlight look when he asked her about our group of 4. Finally, we were seated at a table that had been empty behind us the whole time. Server was good, but not great. (She had been walking past us non-stop in lobby and never once offered us drink service while we did see another couple with drinks served to them by her). Personable, but not super attentive. Prices are very high and portions small. The Post-it note size Sea bass was delicious, and should be for almost $30. No sides included. Brussel sprouts were good. Cute, cozy loud environment. Great for early HH I’m told.

    We celebrated our 3rd year of marriage at matchstick restaurant. The atmosphere was inviting, beautiful tables. The food was a 10 out of 10. Service was fast, our server was so kind and genuine which makes the whole experience fantastic. Can not wait to eat there again. Thank you Chad and Alisha Horning

    We had a great experience here for our 15th anniversary. We arrived 10 minutes early and were told there would be a short wait, which we expected. A short time after our reservation time, the manager came over to apologize to say our table was not ready, but he could seat us at a larger table if that was okay with us. We were fine with it and the manager comped our drinks due to the "inconvenience'". Absolutely not necessary, but it was really appreciated. As a pregnant lady, their mocktails were very good, even my husband thought it was better than his drink. The food, service, and ambiance was also fantastic. We will definitely be back and look forward to trying out their lovely patio in the warmer months. I highly recommend Matchstick to anyone looking for good food and drinks in a quiet atmosphere.

    Food was good (not awesome), drink (non alcoholic blueberry) was very good. We were seated by the hotel entry hall, so it was weird seeing people come and go. Food, as described, came out as items were ready, which was weird. I received an entree, then a shared plate and finally the other entree. Overall will not likely be back for a nice dinner out here.
