Food was good. Service was terrible. They forgot my salad. I asked for a water, never got it. I asked for a steak knife, never got it. Ate my filet with a butter knife. My credit card I had just used before didn't work but funny, I used it is 15 mins after I left and it worked. Bartender was not friendly by any stretch of the imagination and only made excuses about being busy when I told her I was disappointed in the service. I won't be back and I am a local.

I had the pleasure of working with Kourtney, she was the first vendor I connected with when planning for my wedding. I found her to be very kind, professional, detail-oriented, and extremely helpful. Her recommendations were excellent, and her honesty was appreciated. The fact that she understood my needs, offered feedback, and always had a get-it-done attitude, was greatly appreciated. Mattison's is extremely lucky to have her.
Not only was Kourtney a joy to work with, but Mattison's food was amazing, too! During our tasting, we were blown away by how good the food was (appetizers, salad, entrees

IMHO, great food is a given when choosing a dinner out with friends. Time together is precious and not to be taken for granted, so when 3 long-time friends chose Mattison's 41 to enjoy a "girls night out," I looked forward to it all week! We enjoyed a brisk dining experience on the new south patio, kept comfortable with outdoor heaters and an amazing Duckhorn Cab. Staff couldn't have been more gracious making sure we were comfortable with seating, temperature, ambiance. someone was always close by to refill water, wine, and check on our food. The menu offers something for

We celebrated my wife’s 70th birthday at Mattisons Restaurant in Sarasota. We had 36 guests. The food was excellent. They served assorted appetizers and for dinner, “Prime Rib”, mashed potatoes, baked ziti, and grilled vegetables. The only thing better than the food was the great service. The were very courteous and professional with our guests. All our guests complimented me on our choice of Mattison’s for this affair.

My husband and I are so glad we had Mattison's cater our wedding! Kourtney Culler was absolutely fantastic to work with. She did a wonderful job curating a creative menu, and then took great care of us (along with our parents) during our tasting. She made adjustments based on feedback extremely well, and even inquired about some off-menu additions. The food was not only delicious and filling at our tasting, but the same was more than true at the wedding. Our guests were more than satisfied by the end of dinner (many too full for dessert and the late night snack!). In addition to the great food

Terrible! Went for dinner last night and we will never return. Drinks and appetizer of calamari were fine. Waitress was delightful.....all downhill from there. Dinners ordered were not what was delivered. Filet with lobster tail, no lobster tail??? Lobster on Pad Thai noodles, no noodles! Just lobster on dish with four asparagus!!! No presentation at all! Dry overcooked lobster and Filet. When inquired about the noodles a bowl of inedible gummy noodles were presented. Unacceptable! Manager was reasonably apologetic but at that point our evening out was ruined! Would give zero stars if i could

My husband and I hired Mattison’s to cater our wedding set for 8/10/21. Living in NY and planning a wedding in FL we had to just go by word of mouth for our wedding dinner. Many people highly recommended Mattison’s during our planning process. With a vast menu, vegan options and fair prices we decided to give them a shot. Mattison’s Catering blew us and all of our guests away for our wedding night. We could not have asked for a better experience! The Hors d'oeuvres, dinner and desserts were phenomenal!! Weeks later my guests are still raving about the food! The staff that set up, cooked,

We hired Mattison's Catering & Kourtney Culler for my daughter's wedding on June 5,2021 at the Mote Aquarium. I cannot say enough great things about this team! Because we reserved in 2019 for a planned 2020 wedding, the Catering Manager was actually replaced twice and yet Mattison's never skipped a beat. We also had to postpone the wedding from the original October 2020 date because of the pandemic. Again, Mattison's adjusted to the new date easily. We had hired Kourtney as our wedding coordinator for the month of the wedding, but by the time the wedding actually arrived, Kourtney was now also

This is my first time visiting Mattisons forty-one, my server May was amazing, she gave amazing service and had great recommendations! The food was delicious, I can only imagine how good the dinner service is! We will be back soon! The manager Robert is so nice and went the extra mile! Couldn't be happier:)

Just got back from Mattison's.
Calamari was as good as the best I've ever had. Lightly fried with two good dipping sauces.
My table mate had the daily pasta dish and I had the duck on the menu.
The pasta was excellent.
Mine was ok. I wish it was half a duckling rather than a mix of a duck thigh and a duck breast.
The duck breast was underwhelming and under flavored..
Dessert was the big disappointment.
A 9 dollar piece of cheesecake should wow ya.
This was very underwhelming, in fact, you can get better from Sara Lee.
Don't mean to be disrespectful but that dessert needs a redo

First time there and will not be the last. Thoughly enjoyed the whole thing. We had Audrey as our waitress. She was very attentive, but not overpowering. Was very helpful in explaining the specials and the menu. I had a few questions and she made sure that all were answered to my liking. She really made the evening.
There were three of us dining this night. The lady in our party is a very light eater. Well she actually finished her dish. The other gentleman did not leave anything on his plate nor did I. Three different choices, all very good.
We couldn't help but notice how nicesly appointed

Visitors Mattison's Forty-one tonight with my family and a couple of friends. Everything was exceptional. From the hostess to the interior to the waitress, no complaints whatsoever. I was with quite a picky bunch and the waitress did not hesitate to accommodate every last one of their requests. For example; no "little spoons" came with our calamari for the dipping sauces to serve. One minute later the waitress brought out not only little spoons, but extra sauce! She was an absolute gem with a great personality and provided one of the best restaurant experiences I have had in quite

Kourtney Culler was our pseudo planner, because we didn't have the traditional big wedding, but rather a small, intimate and elegant elopement. She was fantastic to work with and we appreciated all her help & support! Even though our affair was small, she made sure to provide us feedback in a timely manner and acted as a conduit for other vendors to make the process easy for us. She made us feel confident that every detail was taken care and every aspect of our day would go as planned. She even went above & beyond and hung our floral piece that was prepared by my Mother on the ceremony arch for

We were just amazed at the hospitality that Robert and his staff displayed last night. It was closing time. I get it- time to go. It was also Father's Day. They aren't even open on Sunday's!! We arrived at 8:06 and were told that it was closed. Since We ubered there, we had to figure out where to go next and pay another $11 to go somewhere else to get food for dinner. As we stood in the parking lot, mind you we had been traveling all day to get there, a well appointed man came out and said please come in and order some food. At that point I knew he was in a leadership position. His

We spent 3 weeks in this area in March and these were by far the best dinners we had. The filet mignon was incredible with lobster and savory mashed potatoes. Wow! Lemon martini and key lime Pie were both yummy. Grouper was cooked to perfection and my husband really liked his Gumbo. Serving sizes are large and the service was great. We will be back for sure

I decided I needed to provide my wife an experience for Valentine's Day and made reservations at Mattison's Forty-One. She was surprised and I was pleased. As we looked over the special menu printed just for the night, we had a few questions for our server, and she was extremely helpful. We decided on crab cakes for an appetizer which we shared and did the same for the house salad. The crab cakes were excellent. A generous portion and the sauce was palate pleasing. It was very pleasant that when both were served, the server brought extra plates for each to make sharing easier. For the

Very nice Happy Hour! Good drink and food assortment - albeit some of the food prices are slightly higher than comparable HH places in Sarasota. Beef sliders solid at $8 but the single crab cake for the same amount was kinda small. House Cabernet not so good.
Nice atmosphere around the bar, but it is on the dark side. Feels at times like a bar in North Jersey rather than a place at the Beach. This is absolutely not a knock against this location and can be a welcome relief after a long day in the bright sun.
Service was solid and the guys behind the bar were quick and attentive. Singer

Firstly, live lady singer made the evening. Nice touch, music during meal. Had the salmon - three course thing - very nicely prepared with sweet potato thinly sliced stack side. Chilled avocado cucumber soup - velvety creamy cool woundrousness. Mmm -wish I had some of this spectacular soup now! Waiter was charming - let him pick the meal actually & glad I did.
Berry sorbet finish - Mattison's wins again.
There are new places opening all around to dine, but "coming home to Mattison's" ... is just genuine fine dining. Thanks Mattison's Inspiring Food.

Took my mother here for their Mother's Day Brunch yesterday as she had never been to their location. We were very impressed! The food was fantastic the buffet was always well stocked and replenished. Their entire staff from Sean at the front door to the chefs to the wait staff were all pleasant and welcoming! Our server Kat was attentive and pleasant. They set up the buffet around the bar which was lovely to have the chefs back there preparing omelettes and crepes!
My mom was telling all of her friends that afternoon what a lovely brunch it was...thanks Mattison's for making her Mother
