4.0 of 5 stars. Let me start by saying Matthews is a great dinning experience, and may have no real competition anywhere in Jacksonville outside the dinning rooms at the Ritz-Carlton, The Ponte Vedra club and the...

Yelp.com Review - by Trey G.

5.0 of 5 stars. Others' reviews of Matthews are pretty much spot on. The food in this little San Marco restaurant is fabulous. It's been quite some time since I've eaten there, but coming across these reviews makes...

The portions were horrible. the food was o.k. Why wouldn't i just go to Dwights and get the same meal for less and with more food? Will I ever go to Matthews again Probably not. For me to spend 40 dollars for...

Fine Dining by Kate K. at InsiderPages

Matthew Medure raised the bar on fine-dining in Jacksonville. This is the all-around best restaurant in the city. The menu changes everyday. Can't go wrong with the chefs tasting menu.

The emperor has no clothes

I did not particularly enjoy my dining experience. It is set up to give good service and make you feel like somebody. If that is what you are looking for this is the place for you. Other than that no big deal....

Over-rated and over-priced.

Let's get one thing straight -- I am not the typical Jacksonville resident who rates restaurants based on how much food they shovel into me. I'm an amateur chef and I've eaten regularly at some of t...

I loved it!

This restaurant is great. We chose the chefs tasting. Every dish was wonderful. It was expensive, but the food and great service were worth the high price.
