    Having dined at Matthew’s, specifically the Adventure Tasting Menu, multiple times I can confidently say the food, service, and wine pairings are delicious and well thought out each time. The staff is warm, creating a welcoming atmosphere while being extremely professional and attentive to your needs. The adventure menu is always scrumptious with the kitchen team and wait staff adjusting the pacing based on your table. Not once have I left hungry or disappointed in any way. A dinner at Matthew’s is well worth the price. Treat yourself!

    The best dining experience in Jacksonville! Mathew’s takes the presentation of food, service and drink to another level. Our waiter, Mat, could not be more attentive and helpful. The food (Sea Bass) was so good, and their extra attention to our anniversary was evident from the moment we entered the room. Mathew’s earns every one of its 5 stars!

    Thank you for such kind words. We're honored to be part of your anniversary celebration and thrilled you enjoyed the experience—from attentive service to the sea bass. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to your next visit.

    I was celebrating my birthday and they could not have been nicer. I have never had such great service! Everyone came to say hello and happy birthday. The food was exquisite. The flavors and textures were combined in a way that exhibited a masterful chef’s skill. I had the arugula and spinach salad with scallops for the main course. Perfect! My wife had the potato angolotto. It was delicious! Her fish entree was a new addition to the menu and a new favorite! We shared a dessert - the yummy chocolate soufflé with a strawberry anglaise. Then the waitress brought a candle lit plate with cookies and cream and a happy birthday message written in chocolate! I loved this experience.

    What an experience! The best restaurant we've been to in Jacksonville. And we've been to a lot. I made reservations noting that we were celebrating our 55th anniversary. I was called the day before to ask if we had any food allergies. Who does that? When we arrived at Matthew's and checked in we were wished a Happy Anniversary. The wait staff were wonderful. Very attentive without being intrusive. Our server this evening was Matt. He was very knowledgeable and took a lot of time explaining the menu to us. We decided on the Chef's Tasting Menu (6 courses) and were so glad we did. The meal started with a bread service. It's not a basket of rolls, you choose from a platter of various delicious breads/rolls. Our first course was Steak Tartare, second was a Diver Scallop. We next went on to pasta with Wagyu beef then a lamb tenderloin. Finished with a goat cheese and green tomato muffin then dessert. Then dessert consisted of a bread pudding, Chantilly and strawberry. Along with a plate with 2 Madeline cookies and a hand written chocolate "Happy 55th Anniversary" message. We honestly couldn't decide which course was the best. We highly recommend Matthew's.
