Wow! Chef's Tasting Menu was indeed, an adventure! I may never eat any of these things again, but, I put my trust in the Chef and it was a wonderful experience. However - be prepared ... no one rushes a Chef ... 3 hours long! You make sure they know your food allergies - and leave the rest to the Chef. By the way - be prepared ... not cheap ... 2 ppl ~ $300+ Reservations a must. Valet car park is available. Dark walking to car! Full service bar. Upscale dining in downtown Jacksonville. Server, David was exceptional - polite, gracious and enthusiastic. Friday night was non-stop busy! read more

Great attentive dining experience with great food and excellent service. We arrived early prior to another function and had the attention of the entire staff. We started with cocktails and the charcuterie board. Excellent cocktails and a great variety of meats and cheese. For my entree I ordered the beef tenderloin which came with a side of "bread pudding". It resembled your mom's stuffing at thanksgiving and it was delicious. A great accompaniment to the well-prepared beef. An awesome experience, well worth the money and I'm sure, I will be back! read more

A fantastic experience with high end cuisine while on a trip to Jacksonville. Frankly, I did not expect such excellent dishes and skilled service. The only concern on the service was they neglected to do the crumb sweep between courses. The hostess was friendly and I was taken to my table immediately. The waiter had excellent recommendations on cocktails and an accompanying full bodied red. Missing from the service was an amuse bouche which is derigure in the high end market and is indicative of the skills of the Chef de Cuisine. The food was excellent though. The soy infuse tuna tartare was great and my main course, lamb chops was excellent, though a little bit of a small proportion. The pot de crème was imaginative, with a honeycomb pastry over the crème. Accompanied by a perfect Brandy Alexander on the recommendation of the waiter. If ever in J'ville again, I will return. read more

Caroline was outstanding! We have a one year who we had a babysitter and noticed she moved the courses faster for us which appreciated: did the wine tasting pairing and 6 course menu: usually there is one course that is a dud but every course was so good: we want to go back and take our parents there as well. read more

Another enjoyable happy hour experience. I loved the daiquiri, $8 at happy hour prices. The sliders with brie from the bar bites menu ($13 during happy hour) were good to very good, better than I remembered. I liked the escargot from the regular menu ($17), though maybe not quite as much as I remembered. Get the plain rolls and use the salty part of the butter on them, and also sop up the escargot's sherry cream sauce with them. I didn't like the house sparkling wine ($6 at happy hour prices) as much as I remembered, preferring my daiquiri. We also got the souffle from the regular menu ($15); I wouldn't repeat this particular one (chocolate with caramel sauce and pecans, IIRC), though I fondly remember their souffles in the past. It came to $75 for the five items and tip. Maybe try some of the sides from the regular menu ($8; a squash with gorgonzola looked tempting) next time. Maybe also try one of the little tables near the door, which look cute, though I do like being at the bar for Josh's expert service. I always enjoy happy hour here and I'll be back. read more

Absolutely delicious! Service was impeccable. Our server Ryan was so attentive and explained the entire menu to us. Every bite was better than the last. Don't skip out on the muscles, the broth was so flavorful. We will be back. read more

This is fine dining at its best in Jacksonville. I love the upgrades that have been done to the restaurant- the new bar area is beautiful. Although the look of the restaurant has changed, the food remains phenomenal. Our server was fantastic and we trusted him to take us on a journey. My husband and I did the Valentine's Day experience and every bite was fantastic. Thank you Matthew's management and service staff! Top notch. read more

Had a wonderful time at Matthew's, definitely a spot i would recommend to others. My wife and I celebrated our 10th year anniversary and this was the best place to celebrate. First, the staff was great, friendly and very attentive to everything. Second, my wife and I were caught by surprise with the menu in which it had our 10th yr celebration and name on it, this was amazing, of course we had to take this home. Third, our waiter Bow, great guy, he loves what he does and is very knowledgeable on the menu and the wine pairing that came with our courses. Forth, loved all the courses and would highly recommend the tasting menu with the wine pairing, amazing experience. We will definitely be back again very soon, we're going for the Wagyu steak. P.S. To Matthew: I'm headed to Culinary School at the end of this year, (CIA), I would be grateful for an opportunity to work there when I return! read more

Some of the finest service I've ever experienced. Incredibly attentive, hospitable, on top of their game! Presentation was impeccable and you'll love the food.

Incredible! We had such an amazing experience here. Our waiter Phillip was funny and friendly. We got the chefs 6 sampler and loved it! I ordered a mocktail and they made something special for me that was so delicious, all I said was "half sweet" and they read my mind. Each taster was phenomenal and you could tell home made. I absolutely appreciated the fact that we were told happy anniversary so many times and it was a nice touch to put it on the menu! The valet was a lifesaver as we'd never been to the area and didn't know where to park. I love that the valet takes Venmo, so convenient because we didn't have cash. The booth we were in was possibly the most comfy booth I'd ever been in. It was smooth and my legs didn't stick (ladies you know what I'm talking about lol ). We would definitely come back!!!! read more

Matthew's bar is comfy but they do require shirt-n-shoes . . . and, apparently, pants. The Bar is clean & newly renovated. The happy-hour menu is good and fair-priced. Josh is mixologist and the wine list is extensive. Ask for Jess and ya gotta meet Cricket, our San Marco cereal killer. The bartenders are chemists, but can still pour a vino. Jess rocks! read more

Awesome dinner spot! Our waiter was fantastic! He was very impressive and was a culinary artist at its finest! He had a passion for food and wine pairings. The restaurant brings you complementary bread and butter. I started with a nice Pinot pour! We ordered the scallops , beef tenderloin and the side of mac n cheese. The portions are nice and full of flavor! They also have a menu where the chef will prepare an entire spread of multiple course for you! The atmosphere is nice and intimate.

Everyone should try the porkchop , you wont ve dissapointed. Service was A1 compliments to the waiters and chef.

Turned away from the dining room after reserving four $115 six-course tasting menus, and planning on doing a few wine pairings so quite a bit of business was turned away. Apparently somewhere on the website it says there is a business casual dress code and they do enforce it. The hostess offered to let us sit in their small lounge area, but I'm certainly not spending upwards of $500 at a restaurant that will not let me eat in the dining area. Unpleasant experience. read more

I was here recently, about 2 weeks ago now. But it wasn't my first time here. I've always made reservations here, I never just walked in, so my review is based on my experience with a reservation. As soon as you walk through the door, you'll be presented with some outstanding service. Very outstanding. To the point where it seems rehearsed. It's too perfect. The entire staff was like this. I went with the tasting menu, and I enjoyed everything that was brought out except for one of the dishes, but I can't remember what it was. I tried hard to get one of the servers to break character but I was unsuccessful. I like the ambiance. I was there in the early evening, so there was a lot of natural light but not to the point the light was glaring, they have working window shades. The restaurant was designed in a way to where you can see the kitchen and the staff working. But it was done cleanly and professionally. Bathroom's were clean too. You should expect a fine dining establishment, fine dining service with fine dining entrees but it comes with a price tag. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch. I'd come back. Not anytime soon but I'll definitely be back. read more

I went to Matthew's Restaurant for my surprise birthday dinner and it was SIMPLY AMAZING! This was the BEST meal I have ever had in my entire 34 years of living. Our waiter Luke was kind, welcoming, accommodating, friendly and sincere. He made us feel like he had been our family friend. Sam who was also apart of our wait staff was on top of his game! We never had to ask for anything, Sam was there to fill the possible need! Even behind the mandated mask, you could feel his smile and willingness to help! I do not even know how to put into words how delicious our food was. The food made me feel happy! It felt like love!!! I've attached some pictures to let the food tell it's own story! Thank you Matthew's for everything! I will return and I will seek to be a regular! read more

What took me so long?!? Hubby and I were celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary and decided to grace Matthew's with our presence(we were pretty darn fly that night). We were promptly seated. The atmosphere is upscale, yet cozy. The dining area isn't huge and I like that. We had two servers attending to us all night and that definitely made us feel special. The server went over specials and recommendations and asked if we were celebrating anything special(I think they already knew). When we said we were celebrating our anniversary, they brought us complimentary champagne. We ordered the beef tartare with bone marrow to start. The presentation was beautiful as it was delicious. For our entrees, I got the braised veal cheeks and hubby got squid ink pasta with mussles and shrimp. He also got garlic shrimp on the side. Due to my finicky shellfish allergy, I only tried one of his garlic shrimp, but man oh man! outstanding!!! I really enjoyed my dinner as well...the veal cheeks were SUPER tender. To top off our dinner we were given complimentary dessert too. They really went above and beyond. I can't wait to go back. Matthew's is a special place for special occasions. Can't thank them enough for making our evening special. read more

Fantastic spot for fine dining in Jacksonville, I would rate this place in the top 5 best restaurants in Jacksonville. My boyfriend and I came here for our 3rd year anniversary and partook in the Chef's Adventure Tasting Menu paired with wine. We were pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed the culinary experience. I absolutely love the upscale feel of this restaurant and it is definitely a great place for an intimate feel for celebrations. The tasting menu changes regularly but it always is a 6-course meal. We also had some complimentary snacks in between our courses as well such as artisan breads, cheeses and ceviche. I forgot to take a picture of our menu but we had beef tartar, seared tuna with curry and jellyfish, peppered pasta with cheese, lamb with English peas, fennel and pea purée, puff pastry with goat cheese and blueberry purée, and chocolate mouse with ice cream. We also had some house made chocolate truffles and macarons for the road. Everything was absolutely delicious. From the flavors, to the quality, to the freshness, everything was crafted to perfection. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a food adventure filled with tantalizing flavors. I have been to both Matthew's (anniversary) and Medure (Valentine's Day) now and I have to say, Chef Matthew Medure is a culinary mastermind. Thank you for the wonderful and amazing culinary experiences, we'll definitely be back for more (especially for the soufflé since I was eyeballing it the entire night. I am definitely suffering from soufflé FOMO since it wasn't on our tasting menu and I was too full at the end to try it)! read more

Over priced. Nothing on menu that caught my eye even a Brie or shrimp (like bang bang) and a reasonably priced cocktail or glass or bottle of wine. A dessert to die for that makes the visit memorable like the carrot cake at J Alexander or Cheesecake. I was not impressed especially after check came. read more

My SO and I finally took the opportunity to have dinner here for our anniversary and just couldn't have been happier overall. We opted to go all out and do the Chef's Adventure Tasting Menu and added the wine pairing that goes with it. Not a thrifty choice by any means so be prepared. However, it was well worth the experience. It is a 6-course meal chosen by the chef and you also have a separate glass of wine that is chosen for each course when you add that option to the meal. While I would like to say I remember every course in detail, there were a lot of details that I didn't remember. All that wine doesn't help the memory they say . However, we were pleasantly surprised to find they did all the work to write out the menu and have everyone sign it. Who does that?! What an awesome treat! I'm posting the menu here instead of writing it all out. I will say that I truly loved every course, but that Veal cheek was just melt in your mouth fabulousness. Our server was very personable and matched our energy. We like to goof around a little even in these higher class settings and she welcomed it and answered our ridiculous questions while also being quite professional when explaining our courses and wine pairings. If you want a superb experience (not just a nice dinner) then you must try Matthew's. I'd give 6 stars, if they'd let me. read more

My boyfriend and I visited some friends in Jacksonville and per usual he chose an amazing spot! We started with caviar...MY FIRST TIME HAVING IT...IT IS WORTH THE MONEY! The caviar was so buttery and delicious..we ended up eating it in spoonfuls toward the end...BUT it was also great with all of the little toppings and crostini's it came with. We did a 6 course pre fix menu, chefs choice, each with a half a glass wine pairing. Everything on the menu was great and as you can see, I forgot to take a picture before I started eating one of the dishes, I was so excited for each course! The service was IMPECCABLE!! Very swanky vibe here so wear your best outfits! Highly recommend. read more

DO NOT order the chef's tasting menu. My wife and I got the 6 course and it was more than disappointing. I wish I took pictures of each dish. They were small, underwhelming, and not worth the ridiculous price. One of the courses was a single carrot cut up into pieces and another was a tiny piece of bacon with blue cheese and half a strawberry. It took about 20-25 minutes for each course to come out and we were there for more than 2 hours. read more

This is a great restaurant to celebrate a special occasion (birthday, anniversary...), or go on a date! The food and service are outstanding! I've been many times, but tonight I fell madly in love with their Grand Marnier & white chocolate soufflé and I WISH I didn't decide to share it with my husband because I loved it so much I didn't want to share!! If it didn't take 15 mins to prepare and/or I didn't have my son who needed to go to bed I would've ordered one or two more!!! Big regret. Hopefully they make it again next time I go, as I know they change their soufflé flavors every time. Our server was very patient with a baby at the table and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to food and wine. Delicious dinner with family and friends. I'm going to bed happy, and will probably dream of the half soufflé I had. read more

Matthew's restaurant might be the best dining experience I have ever had. The menu is carefully crafted with seasonal ingredients and executed food perfection. Every course was treated like a work of art in terms of flavor and presentation.

My husband and I have been to Matthew's 4 or 5 times and food and service is always consistently fantastic. We love that the Chef's Tasting Menu changes all the time, so we always get it to be surprised by the wonderful chef and then add in other appetizers from the regular menu, like the Wagyu on a hot rock, or oyster and cavier if a special occasion. We've never had a bad dish or poor service. Matthew's has become like a comfort restaurant for us that we can always go back to when we want a great meal and/or we are celebrating a birthday or anniversary. Highly recommend! read more
