A generous friend invited my wife and me to lunch last Sunday. Even though I have lived in the area for several years we had never been to Mattison's. The menu was creative (I had crab cakes benedict), the drinks (bloody Mary for me) were just right and the waitress was prompt, pleasant but not hovering. I will have to... More

My family and I attended Easter Brunch here and it was super delicious. From the Crepe and omelette "stations" to the Prime Rib and desserts, this was one of the best restaurants I have found in the area. Even though I have not been back to taste the "normal" menu, the chef outdid him/her self at Easter and impressed myself... More

I really wanted to like it, but sorry, I didn't. 4 of us went for dinner and we ordered scallops, surf and turf, steak and a seafood stew. The scallops were definitely past their prime and fishy.

They had a live musician playing the piano and singing some old songs appropriate for dinner which was nice. We sat at... More

Decided to have a special lunch today, not disappointed with our choice. Top notch quality chicken salad, hot bread and herb butter. All ingredients very fresh and tasty. Service very attentive. Value just right.

On Friday evening, March 8th my wife and I went to Mattisons 41 and we both got the scallop special. Within an hour and one half we were both very sick with stomach cramps and in dire need of restrooms. We were like that all night and into this morning when they subsided. Niether one of us were sick and... More
