    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

    Service was less than stellar and we have been there many times. The menu was 1/3 the size it was in the past and that alone may prevent us from going again. We have a reservation for next week coincidentally. We will see.

    Hi Shelly, I am sorry we did not live up to your expectations. We will take your feedback seriously. Our menu actually has the most items it's ever had since we have opened. If you are looking at our website, that is under construction and will be updated to match our actual menu shortly. Matadora Management Team

    Went for Mother’s Day brunch based on the listing in Open Table. They do not serve brunch, it was an error. We did not stay and went elsewhere for a great brunch. We’ve been many times before and food is great, but not what we were looking for today.

    Service was poor. Had to remind them repeatedly to bring our drinks. They didn’t have a printed kids’s menu. The food was overall expensive but nothing special . I do not recommend.
