My boyfriend made reservations here for my 18th birthday. This is by far the nicest restaurant I have ever been to. The food is expensive, but you are paying for what you get. It was worth every penny. Everything that we ate was absolutely fantastic. We can’t wait to come back. James and David were amazing. I didn’t take any pictures, except one. The atmosphere was relaxing.

My husband and I recently celebrated our 1-year wedding anniversary at Matthew's Restaurant, and it was by far one of the best dining experiences we've ever had! The staff were very friendly and attentive. Our server (Eve was her name, I think) was so knowledgeable about the dishes we chose, and she explained all the different elements that made our 4-course meal unique. Everything we ordered was perfectly delicious, but the light espresso martini and the diver scallops were to die for! I would absolutely recommend this restaurant, especially if you want a taste of the fine dining experience. Worth

Well any visit to Matthews never disappoints. Everything on the menu is beyond delicious, it is exquisite. The quaint San Marco restaurant is an edible fantasy come true I stumbled on years ago, it is my absolute favorite restaurant of all time! Wonderful wine selection, the service is superb, ambience is romantic and relaxing, it's not pretentious for fine dining and the chefs are world class! Love Matthews!

It was our first visit to Matthew's. You definitely need a reservation as with most fine dining places. Our waiter Bow was knowledgeable and attentive throughout our entire dining experience. The have an extensive list of wines and spirits to choose from. They offer a chefs tasting menu that you can order it consists of 6 dishes picked and created by the chef. The foie gra and the escargot were succulent. Every dish we had was delicious and fulfilling. Plan to definitely be back and enjoy others things on the menu. Highly recommend!
