    My wife and I arrived a few minutes prior to our reservation and were immediately seated. The wait staff was very attentive to helping us settle in for our anniversary dinner! Our waiter was very pleasant and answered all of our questions regarding our dining plans. We selected the six course dining adventure and added an order of escargot that was perfectly inserted as “course 2B” of our delicious dining experience! The remainder of our meal was a wide bar of chef’s choices that were all very tasty and, at the end of our meal, quite filling! Since we had mentioned that this was indeed a special celebration for us each member of the staff took the time to wish us a happy anniversary as they reliably attended to our being guided through our dining adventure. At the end of our meal, we were surprised by a special desert prepared noting our special day along with an autographed copy of our personalized menu signed by everyone who had assisted us throughout our two and one-half hour leisurely meal! All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our most recent time at Mathew’s Restaurant and will certainly be making plans to return again!

    Service and main course were great. Disappointed by the flat, overcooked Soufflé.

    it took a relatively long time to get a cocktail. It took over an hour to get our meal, however with consideration to the quality of the food and the presentation, it was well worth the wait. Waiters were friendly and helpful. The ambience could’ve been better in that, the lights are a bit bright and then you have the kitchen right there with all the noise from that. However, I would definitely return to this restaurant with no hesitation because the food outweighs all negative.

    Although we were right on time, they were surprised when we said we had booked the tasting menu. That being said, once we got through the initial awkwardness, the meal was fantastic. Service very good, wine pairings well done. We were told that they change up the tasting menu every week. We don’t live there, but if we visit again we’ll be sure to check Mathew’s out again.
