"The stellar team at Matthews made our anniversary a night we will never forget! The food was delicious and artfully crafted, and the flavors of each dish were enhanced by Jess’ cocktail and wine pairings. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the food, wine, , drinks and history of not only restaurant but Jacksonville itself, without being pretentious. So many little details I never noticed were missing in other restaurants made for an exquisite experience. From the hostess to the manager, every member of the staff seemed invested in our anniversary like we were part of the family. No rushing or disingenuous check ins, I felt like we were honored guests being doted on in her home. As if the soufflé wasn’t amazing enough, she had the chef and entire staff sign our specialized menu, and gave us a detailed list of other things to do and experience when we visit Jacksonville to suit our tastes and interests. We’ve lived just an hour away for years now, and kick ourselves for not finding out about this gem sooner. We cannot wait to come back!"
