We ate with friends at this Jacksonville restaurant. The atmosphere is modern and airy. The clientele is clearly upscale. The wait staff are well informed and the menu is large. The escargot was cut in small pieces and mixed with cheese and bacon with a cream sauce. Very tasty. The foie gras was prepared traditionally and first class. My grouper... More

They say you get what you pay for. You pay for the food at Matthews and you get good food. They also do a good job at catering.

I wanted dinner in a non chain restaurant. Made reservation via Open Table. The hostess greeted me and I was seated right away. The service was good. People were friendly and attentive. My entre took so long to arrive that my server brought me an appetizer on the house to keep me from starving. The food was delicious and the... More

Service, atmosphere, FOOD - Matthew's has it all. I've had some great meals at a number of restaurants, but my first dining experience at Matthew's really stood out. I now compare all other fine dining establishments to my meal there.

This is a top-tier restaurant in Jacksonville. My girlfriend took me for my birthday and it was an unforgettable experience. Anything you see on the menu will be prepared with the utmost professionalism and care. Yes, it is expensive but well worth every penny, from start to finish. Perfect for a special occasion.

Part of the Medure Group, Matthew;s has been a standard bearer fo rfine food in the JAX area for quite some time. Creative and inventive entrees are the order of the day, nicely served by an attentive wait staff. Their ciabatta rolls are to die for, served warm and frequently. An excellent place to dine pre-theatre Jascksonville

For those of you who have not dined at Matthew's in the past, you will be thoroughly impressed with this restaurant. It has a great ambience and the interior is furnished beautifully not to mention the delicious, quality food. We have celebrated many occasions here in the past 15 years. For my birthday, we again dined here. On the menu... More

I have long considered Matthews the best in fine dining in the Jacksonville area, but my last trip there was the first time I have not been blown away. Maybe it was the large/loud business party that was seated next to us, but of the 7 times I've been to Matthews this was the first time me not my wife... More

My boyfriend and I went to Matthew's for his birthday and from beginning to end it was a simply wonderful experience! He got the lamb shanks with mushroom mascarpone risotto and I got the turbot with green beans. The food was full of flavor and every bite was worth savoring. Between the bread, entree, and our side dishes, we were... More

If you are looking for sophisticated cuisine in a trendy place, this restaurant is doubtless one of the best choices in JAX, not to say the best. We were a party of 4 and each of us gave a 5 for our dinner. We chose scallops ($11) as a starter. Fully flavored, very tasty. But don't expect to get half... More
