Absolutely fantastic place! I highly recommend the Chefs Adventure tasting. If you're not feeling adventurous, there are numerous wonderful offerings on the menu. The service is some of the best you will see in a restaurant. Obviously, price is going to be higher but you know that going in.
Dined here for our wedding anniversary, and we were treated like royalty before we ever arrived! Not to mention, the chef adventure menu experience exceeded our expectations for six courses! Impeccable service from valet & hostess to Ryan, Melissa, and Robert's memorable service. Highly recommend.
My husband & I went to Matthews for my birthday and I enjoyed every minute of it. Our waiter Ryan was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable and he gave us top tier service. The brand ambassador Jeff was also amazing. He gave us a brief history on Chef Matthew, long they have worked together, and we really enjoyed hearing that they are close as family.
Overall we had a wonderful experience and we can’t wait to have dinner at Matthews again!
This was such a unique dining experience! We got the tasting menu which was 6 courses of awesome food. We had such a great time celebrating our anniversary here, the service is exceptional and the food is just as exceptional. Our server was very articulate with the food itself and it made the dinner even more enjoyable knowing more about each ingredient.
One of the best culinary experiences I’ve ever had. I came for my husband’s birthday and they treated us like king and queen, the service was excellent, the food was delicious, the place was beautiful, 100% recommended, I will definitely be back.
We had chefs 6 course tasting menu with wine for every course and it was amazing.
Our server was such a gentlemen and explained everything nicely to us.
Went to this restaurant for my husband's birthday. It was an amazing experience!!! Food was so delicious !!! very tasty, you can say that everything is prepared from scratch and moreover it looks amazing. They adapted a dish for kids as well. Strongly recommend this place !!!
If you're hesitant, don't be! Mathew’s is slice of heaven. From the start of their wonderful cocktails and mocktails! To the delicious appetizers... literally all of them. Seriously, eat them all. Their food has become a craving! I haven't had a meal I haven't loved. Don't even get me started on desserts too! Make sure you save room.
What can I say Matthews was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. First off the entire staff was very friendly and helpful they definitely go above and beyond for you. I had the 6 course dining experience with wine the server explained every detail of the dish and the wine pairing and the food was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend this if you want a. Special night!
Came here to celebrate getting married and I have nothing but good things to say! We did the chefs tasting menu and the food was excellent, the experience was fun, and the service was amazing! Jessica was a great waitress and never missed a beat. If you have the chance absolutely come here for a wonderful meal and awesome experience!
My husband did the reservation for our anniversary and we had the tasting menu . I was excited it about, it was good . I wish for the price they had put a nicer meal, in my opinion the cheese with fruit was not good at all something so insignificant) I was looking at some of the items in the menu like escargot our selections were simple it was not great ( I will attach our six courses) also they did not do anything special for our anniversary, I been to other restaurants were the just do a simple writing on our dessert plate or a free drink or dessert , I will recommend to dine in not to celebrate any special occasion with them, overall good food . I love five of the six courses
Very welcoming ! Great presentation. This is the place to go ! Perfect date night with reservations “I ran late. They were ready waiting for us . The dinning experience at Mathews is hands down a movie worthy experience. From the Chef’s kitchen to the table, it is a well oiled machine with no stone left unturned. I left the table only to come back to find my napkin neatly folded where I threw it down . The service is wonderful and the staff is very friendly . If you appreciate great food and fine dining. Look no further! “Mathews” is a fine restaurant you will appreciate ! 5 stars !
This place is as close to perfect as possible. Our server, Philip, was attentive, professional and had a pleasant sense of humor. The food exceeded expectations and the whole experience was memorable. I want to give them a perfect score but I want to leave room just in case. Also, the chocolate souffle was perfect.
Went to Matthew's for my birthday with my wife and we had the Chef's Adventure Menu. Simply, it was amazing!
With dishes featuring Wagyu A5 beef, Elk tenderloin, Trumpet Mushrooms, Ahi Tuna, Ora King Salmon, the adventure was far-reaching and stunningly delicious. The Trumpet mushrooms were surprisingly incredible with a slight char mimicking a grilled steak. The Elk tenderloin was spartanly seasoned with black pepper allowing the earthy tones of the meat to shine and delight.
The Ahi Tuna had a sesame crust that elevated the fish texture and savoriness. And while I am not a fish fan, even the salmon was surprisingly good accented with buttery Brussel sprouts and fantastic crunchy croutons adding a depth of texture.
The cheese course was a simple delight of La Tour triple cream with mascerated balsamic strawberries which prepared your palate for the elegant dessert of blackberry clafoutis, lemon gelee and marcapone w confectionary.
Aside from the stunning meal was the incredible service offered by so many of servers. From entering the restaurant to leaving we interacted with no less than 6 hostesses and servers and each knowledgeable and eager to make our experience quite the memorable event. And it was.
The atmosphere was elegant without be pompous, distinctive without being distracting and the designs of open kitchen and the long bar are entrusting and enjoyable. Even from a table at a distance
Overall, a divine experience I will happily encourage you to try. The adventure menu is HIGHLY recommended. You may not live everything but you will certainly appreciate each and every dish.
Enjoy!
Best service and dining experience in Jacksonville FL. Josh at the bar and the hostess Cricket stood out. Definitely order the soufflé!
My dining experience at Matthew's Restaurant was possibly the most memorable I've had in my entire life. It was a special occasion, as I decided to celebrate a passed relative who I was extremely close with. They were not only respectful of this, but went above and beyond to make this celebration a more-than-pleasant and unforgettable experience. I had the privilege of Jessica taking care of me all night: her kindness, stories, and explanation/knowledge of the food was a delight. The food, treatment, and wonderful team were not the only amazing thing about the experience: I thoroughly enjoyed the open kitchen and witnessing these talented chefs at work as they made some of the best food in Jacksonville. I definitely hope to return again soon, and hope those out there looking for a one-of-a-kind dining experience with a wonderful team of wait staff and chefs alike will take the time to book a reservation here!
Absolutely amazing from the moment you walk into the restaurant. The host and hostess was very polite and friendly. The menu is not huge which is not a problem, because the quality and presentation of our appetizers and Entrées far exceeded our experience! Highly recommended 10/10.
