Had dinner at Mattar’s last night- my wife and I have been going for years and the quality of the food is always the highest standard. Service, and decor, is a lot more relaxed than in years past- but the high quality is still there. Steaks are cooked exactly as you ask and are excellent quality beef, the seafood is... More

Mattar his hit the mark with the casual bistro execution. Got to get the medeteranian appetizers, and of course his famous Baba ghanoush, which may be the best I've ever had! VERY good burgers too! Fresh, tasty, and different! See Mattar, and enjoy! More

Went to Mattar's on Easter Sunday for Brunch. Booked table via Open Table - they did not have my reservation. They did seat us. The new Mattar's Bistro is noisy and the tables are very close together. Very different than the old Mattar's which was a fine food restaurant - which I actually miss. The food is still good, but...

First time. Pretty good impression. There was a local band playing on Saturday night. Nothing special, but was not intrusive while you ate dinner. The house salad dressing was returned by both people at my table who ordered it. I had the arugula salad and it was very good. The dressing was a thick vinaigrette with candied pecans that was...

I was here a few times over the past few years and it never seemed to work. Either the service was shoddy or the food was cold or something else missing. I am happy to say they seem to have got the kinks worked out. There is ample parking. You are greeted by the gracious owner who is genuinely attentive.... More

Not having been to Mattar's for about 20 years & seeing the other posts, we didn't know what to expect. Glad we went! Everything, from the first phone contact through to the busboy was great. Our server, Dee, could have been at any 5-star restaurant. She was very warm, knowledgeable and funny. Mattar came over several times to make sure... More

I didn't think it possible but the new redecorated Mattar's is better than the original. Very New York City for a country bistro. The alfresco seating is great. Overhead fans for hot days and heaters for cool days. You can never go wrong with the new casual menu. Something for everyone. Kids want pizza, they have it. You want something... More

From the moment you walk in, you know that you will be treated to the classic hospitality that has kept Mattar's relevant throughout the years. Owner Mattar Mattar had the foresight to re-invent his classic restaurant into a Bistro long before the trend took hold in nearby Manhattan. Although the main menu is somehat limited, inventive daily specials featuring world... More
