We just celebrated my Mom's life at Matthew's 1600, today. What was a disaster at my first choice turned into a wonderful experience at Matthew's 1600. The scheduling, menu selections (and re-selections, and 'corrections'), seating, music, et al., was a breeze, thanks to their patience and professionalism. OK, more the patience but still...
The food was phenomenal and the staff incredible. Anything we needed they were ready to accommodate. My entire party of friends and family raved about the service and the wonderful food and that isn't easily achieved for some of them. Even after we lingered long past our end time engrossed in reminiscing, the staff worked around us and only at the last possible moment asked - in the nicest most polite way I've ever been so asked - to allow them to finish cleaning so they could return to their other duties. And then there is their bar and general dining service!
If you're in the Baltimore area and need an incredible meal or a room for a ceremony, meeting, wake, et al., you'd be foolish not to give these kind professionals the chance to amaze you, too.
This was my second time at Matthews! I live in Wilmington, NC and come to the D.C. Area each year for my great grandmothers birthday. Today we had a table of 7 to celebrate her 95th and everything from the service to dessert was perfect! I had the salmon Victoria and added a side dish of mashed potatoes, my aunt and uncle both had gnocchi (one added shrimp & the other added chicken), my grand mother enjoyed the crab dip as an entree, my other grandmother thought she ordered a shrimp salad but it ended up being a sandwich which was still okay! After lunch, we continued to visit with each other and chat over coffee and dessert. We got one of almost each dessert on the menu in addition to coffee. The atmosphere at Matthews is wonderful & we always enjoy going. Thankyou, Beth, (I think!! She mentioned a couple names because several servers were all helping one another.. shorter dark hair & tattoos) we appreciate you! You made Bettes 95th birthday special for her.
Seriously the best food ever!!! Everyone is so friendly! Highly recommend!!
The service has always been lacking in my visits to Matthew's 1600. By far, yesterday was the best service I've ever experienced. Kudos to Patrick. He was very attentive, friendly, funny, accommodating. The service staff could do well in emulating his attitude.
The food was excellent, as well. Thank you for helping to make our Christmas Brunch a fun one!
We had my fiances grandmoms funeral reception here.. What a great place. The room that was provided was very spacious and exactly what was needed. The food was delicious , the atmosphere was perfect and the waitstaff was very professional. It was exactly what we needed for such a day. I would definitely come back to relax and enjoy on a different day.
Excellent food and service. The pot roast there edged out Island View for top position!
Consistently, I receive great service along with delicious choices of menu items. Grouper dinner with crab imperial was out of this world! Bento box with crab cake...perfection! Thanks, Matthews 1600!
We have eaten here many times and have had two catered events, and always the food and service is the greatest.
Typical single Dad on Fathers Day, I didn’t plan appropriately. Showed up at the restaurant in attempts to place a carry out order for the family. Restaurant was slammed and wasn’t excepting any more carry out orders. Alicia sensed my frustration/ panic, stepped up, and took care of the customer.. Matthews continues to be a staple in the community; Best food, best atmosphere, best service…! Thank you for being you!
The best experience being Google influencer is exploring what unbeknownst to me. Passed Matthew's 1600 many times, the parking lot was packed, today I decided to turn left.
Impressive and elegant entrance, greeted the top of the stairs, courteous hostess, sharp and impressive waiter, food appetizing, looked delicious and tasted heavenly.
Afterwards, the fascinating structure of Matthew's 1600 fancied my curiosity by checking outdoors. Amazingly beautiful was the patio decked out landscape awaiting outdoor experience.
I placed Matthew's 1600 on my list of return visits.
Beautiful evening out. Went to dinner tonight at Matthew's1600, in an outdoor area they call their 'alley' (between the restaurant and an old trolley line converted to a walking trail). Server was taking photos - at least our DRINKS made it to their Facebook post. Oh, well - we enjoyed it.
Food was very good, served promptly, and not cold. Plenty of variety on the menu. Atmosphere in the outdoor dining area (the 'alley') was excellent. Service was very good, and it was not crowded.
NOTE: not our first time here or in the 'alley,' so that ought to tell as much as the rest of the review.
This place was great. Never had heard of it before but some friends recommended it. Small little place on the second floor. Food was excellent, pricing was average for a restaurant. They offer a flight of crushes which were phenomenal. Never had key lime crush so that was a very interesting take. Atmosphere is nice, staff was extremely pleasant. Most patrons were masks as they came in. The staff does not, so if that's a concern I wouldn't come here. Anyone else though should try this place out.
Honestly, the decor is dated, and the restaurant as a whole doesn't have much of an identity or speciality. The bartenders are always friendly and they haven't made me a drink I disliked. I've only gotten apps at the bar but those were good as well. I'll keep coming back and learning more about the restaurant, I want to give it five stars!
This spot has really upped its game! Came 4 happy hour and stayed through the 1st NBA championship game! The bar staff was for the most part really personable, knew their regulars and welcomed new comers to the house. I love the fact that a lot of young people are working and know the menu. They have favorites and share their thoughts with you. Lastly, will make this a regular stop on the way home from downtown, but you have to get the fried green bean appetizers back on the menu, I have been their twice and they were not available, I need them back in my life❤️❤️❤️. Looking forward to more nights posted up enjoying great conversation, libation and nourishment @ the 1600🙌🏾🙌🏾.
Amazing food every time! I love that if I don’t like how a suggested plate is made I have the option to order my fish made my way with sauce of my choice! Attentive Staff, unique cocktails made well! Smaller restaurant so We usually call for table.
