What People Are Saying About Matyson Restaurant

In Short – Neutral tan-and-white walls, closely spaced bistro tables and minimal decor allow customers to focus on the food. The kitchen churns out eclectically fused American cuisine, such as crispy polenta fritters topped with forest mushrooms. Entrees include a pork chop over herb-enriched spaetzle noodles with sherry mustard cream. The pastry chef/owner offers profiteroles, lemon souffle tart, bread pudding and homemade coffee and toffee ice cream for dessert.

Worst Service - ok food

by cm22

I went to this BYOB with three friends. We ordered every course - apps, entree, desserts. We brought ourselves wine for the meal and desert wine. After we finished dessert we paid our tab and were finishing our dessert wine when the hostess brought us our coats. We explained we weren't done our drinks yet and didn't need our coats. She proceeded to bring our coats three different times in a course of fifteen minutes. When we brought this to the servers attention he said he needed turn the table and we were done our meal. I don't expect to be rushed out of my seat after eating over three hundred dollars worth of food at a restaurant. The food was ok...nothing special that makes it worth the awful service.

  • Pros: Food was ok but not worth the terrible service
  • Cons: Rude host and ignorant servers

disappointed-won't go back

by kodiak1995

the food was very good here however, i was very dissappointed in the service. waiter was mediocre at best and we were asked to leave, to accommodate another reservation, before we were even finished with our coffee. plenty of other byo's in the city that know how to treat customers...

  • Pros: good food
  • Cons: service
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

BEST RESTARAUNT IN PHILLY...

by BRANKOJR

Heard great things...and it delivered. I want to be a regular so a dish can be named after me. I want to bathe in the pea soup...I want more braised short rib....more seared scallop....

  • Pros: Best soup I ever had...it was the pea.
