Matthew's Restaurant

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 servi

Really pricey but well worth the price. We did the chef's special and it was totally amazing. The wagu steak melts in your mouth. Jeffery our Waiter was awesome. I absolutely recommend him. Joshua the bartender can make the drinks. The atmosphere was great. If you want to try fine dining this is the place to go. Features: The area was very clean , some wore masks some didn't.

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!
