It was a slightly wet day and the restaurant was one of a few open for lunch at this time of the year. The service was very friendly and the food good. The seafood chowder was particularly good.

I like restaurants that are adventurous with their food. Unfortunately, restaurants in tourist towns tend to play it safe. Matterson House is an exception. We had a delicious chicken dish that was breaded with crushed almonds and topped with a raspberry sauce. Would happily go back.

Huge meals for the money and very tasty. Homemade bread made for awesome toast. It is a small restaurant but they do have outside seating available if the weather is nice.

Cosy little restaurant with nicely done, simple dishes. The strawberry cheesecake (home made) is excellent. Price/quality ratio is good.

With absolutely delicious food - and lots of it. We were lucky to be able to squeeze into the restaurant before all of their reservations which would have filled the restaurant in an hour or so. The food was wonderful, a great deal of it, with delicious, home made bread, salad and two helpings of vegeterianable (yes, that's what it... More

We showed up on Mother's Day at 11:50 with no reservation. We were lucky to get a seat. This is such a cute and quaint little house right on the main drag. We really enjoyed the friendly, family feeling. Food was exellent. Big portions. Homemade and great value.
