   First time visiting Mati & had an absolutely fantastic experience. The bar staff was exhausted as they had worked the previous evening into the wee hours but they did an outstanding job and the food was…WOW! The owner’s are an absolute delight and we are definitely going back for dinner. Thanks for a great experience!

   Table of 5 bday dinner lovely start to the experience with a bday card from staff presented. Not sure if they were short staffed but our server was the bartender that had his own set of customers at the bar to deal with on top of us and there was a bus boy that brought our food. But we had to flag them down multiple times to refill our waters that were empty for long periods of time. The wait time for the main meals could’ve been a quicker transition after starters. Delicious drinks + main meals but the the cold seafood platter was disappointing in terms of freshness of the tuna and oysters which was surprising since their specialty is ceviche and seafood towers. the oysters were a huge miss for us as oyster lovers - they were shriveled up little things, we didn’t find them fresh as we dumped 2 to the side for tasting off. Not sure we’ll be back for a meal

   We went for lunch, the food was 10/10 and so was the amazing service provided by Jeremy. Highly recommend trying the steak and crudo!

   I am fairly picky when it comes to eating out. We all work hard and to go out and spend money when the service is awful is not something any of us want to do. This is absolutely not the case for Mati. I do not remember the last time I had such a great experience eating out. From the warm welcome when you walk through the door, to the staff not just our waitress but others, ensuring we were ok or did not require anything. There were two people besides Melissa our waitress that came by our table at least twice each to ensure all was well. It was my best friend's birthday and she had an amazing time. We had the burrata to start, then the steak and crudo, She had the duck confit and I the half rack of lamb and every single bite was exquisite. The plating, the sauces, the meat was cooked perfectly. I asked if a dessert could be brought out for her birthday and it was a twist on smores, not too sweet but so warm and inviting. I will be going back again very soon. Amazing service! Thank you for a wonderful and memorable experience, it was well worth it.

    Wonderful experience here at Mati for our first visit. The ambience was cozy and staff was welcoming. We sat at the bar which was lively, we enjoyed chatting with the bartender who thoroughly went through the menu as it was our first time. We started with a few cocktails, and enjoyed our starters: the burata and the spicy rolls. For our mains, I had the ribeye and shoestring fries, my gf had the branzino with a side of Brussels sprouts and parm. The presentation and the quality was exceptional. They also accommodated my gf’s dietary restriction. Definitely will go back, and may bring some friends along to pass on the food and drink adventure!
