Mati is a culinary gem known for its "incredible food" and "flawless service." Diners rave about its unique drinks and superb wine menu. While the atmosphere is vibrant, the patio offers a quieter dining experience. Notable dishes include the seafood tower and Iberico pork chop. Ideal for special occasions.

All was beautiful and delicious, however the ambiance was ruined by a one year old child who was disruptive!

The food was excellent, as usual. The servers friendly. It is a loud restaurant, but you can still have a conversation. The only issue we had is that we specifically asked to have time between dishes, but we got everything all at once. The dining experience is so much better when we share one or two dishes, then have one or two dishes more. Getting everything all at once makes you feel as if you have to eat in a hurry. Everything else was great.

Tasteful decor, but for an establishment at this price point (~$50+ per plate) I would expect to not have to walk sideways beside my table to sit; bumping our and our neighbours table in the process. To note, I’m 115 lbs and slender. Further, it was difficult to carry a conversation without raising our voices because there is nothing above the tables to dampen noise. We only ordered mains, and sat for 1 hour before receiving them- despite other tables having been sat and ordering after us, yet, receiving their food before. All in all - underwhelming. The food was decent. However, because the dining experience was unfavourable, we would not return or recommend this restaurant.
