We also have a la carte and vegan options available as well, and walk in guests are welcome to join us either at our bar, or if tables are available for the evening.

    The Rabbit Roulade/Sausage was a standout, one of a kind dish but everything was quite delicious. The beverages were well paired and the service was friendly, prompt, and helpful. Well worth the money and will be back!

    Delicious and creative plant-based food! The burrata & stonefruit, balsamic brussels sprouts with spam, and biscuits + gravy were standouts, although everything we tried was amazing!

    Dining at Matsu was a fabulous and elevated experience. I was dining alone so I got there early at 4.30, so it enabled me to enjoy leisurely without a too many exuberant happy diners. My server Coltrane, was well versed in the seasonal menu and was very happy to share all succinct facts plus the details of ingredients, primarily perhaps I was v curious too. Mr. William Eick, the lead creator force at Matsu was quietly present and observant. I would now return most eagerly to enjoy the next seasons’ offerings at Matsu.
