    We had a phenomenal experience. Our waiter was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. Krichell made it memorable for my son who graduated and is headed to College in the Fall. They printed a personalized menu and signed it with wishes for his next adventure. The 6 course tasting was everything we hoped for. Their attention to detail is why we continue to take clients and celebrate family time at Matthews.

    Despite its strong reviews, this restaurant didn’t quite live up to expectations in all honesty. The service was professional and attentive, but the food lacked flavor and complexity, especially considering the premium price. Each dish looked refined but delivered little excitement on the palate. The wagyu first course was inconsistently cut and sliced so thin that the second it touched the hot stone it was already well done, the escargot was basically a cream soup that drowned out the main character flavor, and the Australian wagyu was very much undercooked and lacked flavor. However, the seabass was prepared well. The atmosphere, while polished, felt more like a sterile country club than a vibrant dining experience. For the cost, I expected a more memorable meal and a setting with a little more character. I’m honestly shocked it has such great reviews.

    we go to Matthews every year for our anniversary dinner. And every time we’re there, the place is filled with other people having their anniversary dinners and it is so much fun to be able to look at the table next to you and say how many years have you been married? Not only is it just a wonderful experience but the reason you’re reading this review is because you want to know how good the food is. It is always delicious and honestly, I think the tasting menu is the most fun thing to do and it’s not as expensive as you would think
    Matthew's RestaurantResponded on June 20, 2025
    Thank you so much for making us part of your anniversary tradition! It’s truly special to share in these celebrations year after year. We’re thrilled you enjoy the tasting menu and atmosphere, we can’t wait to welcome you back for the next one!

    My husband and I had dinner at Matthew’s to celebrate our anniversary. We splurged by ordering the chef’s 6-course tasting dinner and wine pairing. The courses were well-sized and well-timed to make for a relaxing fine dining experience. Our server, Brandon provided expert service throughout the 2 hours and 45 minutes during which we were in the restaurant. All the food was delicious and the wine pairings selected by the chef were a nice complement to each course. The variety of breads offered by Mikaela throughout the evening were a highlight and she ensured our water glasses never got too low. Expensive but worth it. Highly recommended for a special occasion.

    We ordered the tasting menu and were served five completely different items. All five dishes were delicious. My favorite was the scallop; my wife's was the raw tuna salad. The wait staff were excellent; just the right amount of attention. Overall, our experience exceeded expectations.
