    We visited Matthews for a birthday celebration. We found the service level, from start to finish, outstanding. People were friendly and helpful...and I am pretty sure everyone including the valet wished me a happy birthday. My wife & I ordered the 6 course tasting experience with wine pairings. We agreed that the evening was enjoyable and the food tasty, but not overall exceptional. Two courses were truly great (the potato gnocchi course and cheese course) making us wonder how they could elevate these basics to such high levels. But the other courses were merely good or fair. In the scallop course, the scallop was a bit overwhelmed by the peppers accompaniment. The salmon course had all the elements of a great dish, but the massive cucumber pieces in the Asian sauce were not well proportioned. So each bite either had too much or too little of each ingredient. The Wagyu beef course was probably the most disappointing as 1/3 of the portion was breathtakingly tasty while the majority was rough and even grisly at times. The wine pairings were fine, but were not always spot on. The restaurant is quite loud and at one point smoke from the open access kitchen wafted into the dining room which was a bit odd. Overall, we had a very pleasant dinner. But we might try other locations for upcoming events rather than rushing back.

    The sea bass from heaven. A fair price for a known, quality, Cali chardonnay. ā€˜Entertainingā€™, conversational guests at the adjacent table for two. Very punctual, courteous service. Worse ways to spend a birthday dinner. Not many better options! Highly recommend.

    Matthews never disappoints. The food is creative and delicious. Our service is always fantastic and the restaurant great about accommodating requests for tables and servers. My only criticism is that I wish the desert selections were greater.

    My husband and I had a celebration dinner at Matthewā€™s a few weeks ago. The food and service did not disappoint! Everything was impeccably plated and delivered and the staff was friendly and attentive. Although it is expensive, the food is so beautifully prepared, it is a worthy splurge. My only ā€œcomplaintā€ is that we wish the wine prices were not so inflated. We collect wine at home and know about pricing and it seems they mark up the wine 5+ times over retail. Overall, itā€™s a winner and one of the best fine dining experiences you will find in Jacksonville.
