We went during brunch on Saturday. The restaurant was not very busy but they said they were low staffed. We had a party of 8 with 3 little kids, but were very patient. Our patience wore off when a party of about 20 who were seated about 30 mins after us got our food and we did not. We ended up waiting over an hour before getting some of our plates, and spent a total of 3 hours at the restaurant. Not our first bad experience at Matchbox, but it will be the last.

We liked the food we ate last night at Matchbox but I must say the hostess that seated us (with purple hair) was rude and probably does not like brown people. We always sit with a family of 4 in the top box booth and was empty when we got there and she refused to seat us there. She said it’s meant for 6 when clearly we family of 4 have sat there several times. Also was not happy about delayed service. Our slider appetizer order must have taken atleast 30 minutes and when it came it had incorrect cheese although the waiter was kind enough to bring us correct order later. We had asked for a second tea bag 3 times and we were told that it was being delayed as the manager had to open a closet to give us a second tea bag! I have never heard of that! By the time the tea bag came the water was already lukewarm then we gave up. Also the waiter never asked us for dessert menu and when we asked for it he looked at his watch which was rude. I do not know if the waiter was overworked and had too many tables or in general the restaurant quality as gone down:( I never write bad reviews but I felt last night was not a good experience:(

So disappointed the small plate brunch option is no more. I came here specifically for that and was disappointed. Also, I ordered the fried chicken and waffles and the chicken was tasteless. No seasonings/flavor whatsoever. Spent 100+ for mediocre food. Better for dinner/pizza I guess, but no longer my favorite for brunch. I would not recommend for brunch.

Reserved "outdoor" seating on Open Table (very clearly laid out on website) but got a message before our reservation time that we couldn't "reserve" for outdoors. This is misleading; please fix if it is an error. I have a list of places that accept outdoor reservations, so perhaps Matchbox should not be on it.

Our first choice menu item (seasonal pizza) was not available, but we weren't told that until about 10 minutes after our order was taken. First choice beer ordered was not available. Ordered an alternate beer and a glass of wine. When the beer was delivered, no mention was made of the wine. When we asked, we were told that wasn't available either. Alternate choice was brought relatively quickly. Side salads were ok, nothing to write home about. Pizza was ok, but not as good as our last visit (which was pre-covid). This used to be favorite place for a bite before the movies. Not sure we'll be back.

We were disappointed in every dish. I’ve eaten here before, but never have I considered dishes to be "weird." Last night was the trifecta. The ceviche tasted like no other ceviche I have had before, why on earth would you put sweet potato chunks in it? Too heavy for this dish! And a token FOUR tortilla chips... really? I had the tuna tartare poke. Neither the menu nor the server (Who clearly had not tasted it) Prepared me for the fact that it was so spicy I drained both my water and my non-alcoholic cocktail to try and get through most of it. It doesn’t just have a little "kick," it has a punch. It was good but in the same way super spicy Thai food is. I don’t send things back usually, but I definitely wasn’t going to bring the leftovers home with me. My mouth had to give up on the pain. The seafood paella special was, in a word, gross. I don’t know what creative flair they were trying to put on it, but it was a very off flavor, and the garlic nearly killed me. My friend was polite about it and didn’t tell me that she thought it was not good, but she did comment that it wasn’t like any other paella she had had, and she also did not try and clean her plate. The overpriced non-alcoholic cocktails are awesome, but it would have been great to be able to get them before our appetizer was finished. I used to think this restaurant had reliable American fair, but it seems they are attempting to get creative, and it is not working. they also gave us our reserved table as a window hightop closest to the double doors. Despite the overhead heater, the brutal winter chill blowing in every time somebody walked in was brutal. The restaurant was crowded, so I didn’t request another table. But I had my winter coat up on the chair and wrapped around me to block the wind. I don’t see myself returning And I definitely can’t recommend it based on the three total misses with the food.

Great experience. Appreciated having an opportunity to eat outdoors in the unseasonably warm weather. There was a small problem with an item on the menu not being available initially, but the manager addressed it before we left. Good to see that they care about customers' satisfaction, even with supply chain and staffing issues.

Very noisy. Almost no gluten-free options though staff is well trained in that regard. One person in my group complained that his cheeseburger was lousy--quite an indictment. The restaurant's main draw is it's proximity to the Anjelika theater.
