    I had a wonderful experience this evening at Matador. Not only were the dishes absolutely delicious, the hospitality was second to none. Our server Kenny was such a pleasure. Very knowledgeable about the menu and gave great suggestions to my husband who is a very picky eater. We are 100% coming back to Medora. This is definitely going to be a regular spot for us. 😊🇪🇸

    My friend was very complimentary of the restaurant. I was hungry for a steak, so I got the 14oz Ribeye. It was an odd color as if it was a poor cut or old. The flavor was good, but cold. It was very thin, so reheating it overcooked it. It was not worth $58. But, the street corn was excellent. Drinks were way overpriced.

    First time dining here last night, and it did not disappoint. The octopus was tender and perfectly plated, tried a bunch of dishes all very good. But the real star of the show was our server, Kenny. He made us feel comfortable and had us laughing within 10 seconds of touching our table! Great recommendations based on our wine preferences. We’d come back just to see him! 5 stars! Thanks Kenny!

    Our first visit. It was highly suggested by foodie friends. It took a moment to get used to the open air environment (it’s in the hotel lobby), but I really liked it. The food was great. Drinks were delish. Really really good. And the service was lovely without being intrusive. Nothing was overpriced….which is unusual these days. Our server was fantastic. There were so many other menu items we want to try - we’ll be back!

    Weird location for such an awesome restaurant. But don’t let that discourage you, the food is excellent. It’s definitely worth the visit. Get the octopus and the scallops.

    Much much better than last week. Wish they would go back to the old more expansive menu. This one is so much smaller. Also miss the live music.

    Hi Shelly, So happy to hear you had a better visit this time. And we still have live music, every Thursday from 6pm-8:30pm and offer a 15% discount on food during this time. As for our menu, our current menu has the most items on it since we have opened, however if you are looking on our website it does not have our full menu so maybe that is what you are seeing. Our website is under construction and will be updated soon. Thank you! Zak Graves Matadora GM
