Match Works TavernExcellent againWe have eaten here, and at Tom's previous restaurant (Epiq), and always had great food and service. Special at this visit was Julia Child's Beef Bourguignon, the same recipe Julie struggled with in the movie...Tom nailed it. He's one of the best chefs in the Cleveland area and this is a gem in Lake County. Highly recommend.5/24/2013 12:00:00 AMChef Tom Quick never disappoints!Chef Tom Quick never disappoints!

The food is very good; the menu appears limited but there are always multiple specials. Very enjoyable place for dinner.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMFantastic!Went for Easter Brunch. An excellent dining experience. Crab cakes were better than I've had in Maryland! Will definitely be back.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was really good.The food was really good. the only slight downfall was the host and our server. they both seemed to give the impression that they were confused which was somewhat odd. Our server was very nice, but was not always on top of things. Besides that, everything else was very good.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent!Went here to celebrate a birthday and was not disappointed. The staff was kind enough to put a candle in a delicious chocolate moose as a surprise for the other half. Definitely a must go. Possibly one of the best places to eat in Mentor.3/8/2013 12:00:00 AMInstantly felt like old friends!When I took the first taste of the coffee I instantly knew we had made the correct choice. We ordered appetizers and you took the time to discuss the history of the building and made sure every detail of our dinner experience was taken care of Angela, our server, perfectly balanced knowledge and servive in a friendly manner. Then the food began to arrive.Chicken Masala that was perfect and a prime rib tomahawk chop that looked too good to eat. From across the table the prime rib looked like heaven on a plate. The food not only looked good but tasted phenomenal. It was greatly appreciated when you stopped by the table to ensure the dinner was perfect. It was perfect, in every way. We were full from the main course but the desert...FABULOUS3/1/2013 12:00:00 AMCan't say enough good thingsCan't say enough good things about the food and service.2/19/2013 12:00:00 AMThe service was excellent.The service was excellent.

We agreed the food was as good as we've had in the city and the crab cakes were posibly the best we've ever had. I heard of Match Works at a bridal show a few weeks ago and am planing to host my Sons rehearsal dinner here in the fall. I am certain we will be back often and we are excited to share this local secret with our friends. Loved the crab cakes, sweetbread & pork belly salad, the croutons on the house salad and potato crusted cod with shrimp risotto was awesome! Can't wait to try more from this eclectic menu!2/1/2013 12:00:00 AMWe'll be backWe're fairly new to Mentor and have been disappointed by the limited quality dining options. This was by far the best dining experience we've had in the area and definitely plan to visit again. We were surprised by how NOT busy the dining room was for a Saturday night. The only issue we had was that our waiter was pre-occupied with a large group in the party dining room, but that still did not hurt our overall experience. Hostess and bar were great.
Food was VERY good.1/19/2013 12:00:00 AM
