    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. ‘Entertaining’, 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.

    Tonight was my second anniversary dinner at Matthew's Restaurant with my wife. We opted in for their tasting menu both times and had no complaints on the quality of flavor nor service. The restaurant tends to get somewhat noisy as dinner progresses, but it usually remains at a reasonable level (I'm relatively sensitive to loud background noise). My only complaint about tonight's dinner was due to other patrons that seemed to have had a little too much to drink and were getting a little rowdy. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys flavorful food with perfect pairings accompanied by excellent service.

    Our second time here. This time for Valentine’s Day. A bit more packed and not as quiet as the first time but expected on such day. Great food, great service and great drinks. My only negative is the tables along the side where we sat are too close together. I felt like I was out to dinner with two other couples. 😂🤣 so I would recommend a booth. First time we had a booth and it was perfect.
    Matthew's RestaurantResponded on March 3, 2025
    Thank you for coming back to celebrate Valentine’s Day with us! We’re so glad you enjoyed the food, service, and drinks. We appreciate your feedback about the seating, and we’ll definitely take it into account for future visits. We hope to see you again soon – maybe in one of those cozy booths!
