Had a great dinner out by the water. The host Isaiah was polite and quick to seat us. Jose the busser who set up our table was very kind and funny. the food was great, and the scenery was beautiful 10/10. The spinach dip was amazing.

My Husband and I were here for brunch and man can I say that my server Peter was truly amazing. He came in with several jokes and a beautiful smile. Really had a great time and I look forward to coming back.

What a fantastic restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal. Our server, Jose, was incredibly nice and helpful throughout our entire meal. I would definitely come back again!

Wow is an understatement . Really enjoyed the food here. The mini burgers were amAzing and I ate them all. The employee Jose was really nice and accommodating to us and really helped us have a good experience. Will come back most definitely

I had an amazing experience here! My server Daniel had an amazing attitude and was supper attentive with me and my family! He helped out a lot and even spoke a little spanish to my my family as they don’t speak much english. The food was also super delicious! I would recommend the chicken sandwich 10/10 better than any others i’ve had.

The service from Daniel was outstanding! I’m glad we got him as our server, he was very welcoming and patient. He made sure everything was taken care of and overall made it a great experience. I will be coming back here!!

Always good vibes when I come. Whether catching a quick bite or staying awhile to watch a game. I recommend the Old Bay wings and ask for Destiny. She is full of energy. She is also very attentive and makes the best drinks!

Came her with my grandma and she’s very old but our waiter Daniel still helped her out a lot. Justin also helped her because Daniel was a little busy but overall everything was amazing. Like the food and service.

We had such a relaxing and fun date night. Our server Nicole was very informative on the menu items because it was our first time here. She had the perfect suggestions from our drinks all the way to dessert. Highly recommend! Would definitely come back!

Great location right on the New River, nice open space. Our salads and pizzas were delicious, prepared just how like them. I particularly like the Spivey sauce. Finally our server was outstanding quick with the drinks and perfect spaced out each of the servings. Bottom line we’ll return again.

i came here for brunch due to a recommendation from a friend and i can say i wasn’t disappointed. Fast service, great food with good portions and great vibes. Me and my girls went for brunch and we has a great time. Big shout out to our server Rico, he had us cracking up and recommended good drinks . will be coming back!

Stopped in for lunch and probably the best lunch I’ve had in a long time. My SO had the All American breakfast which he said was great! The French toast was AMAZING. I had the margarita pizza. And when I say it was soooo good! Like how can you make make it so different that it taste this good?!? We also had the spinach dip, it was okay. The chips were really salty. The view is nice will be even better when they finish the construction across the water. Our waiter was great, everything was good. All in all I’d certainly come back and recommend everyone to check them out.

We visited this place once as tourists and we really enjoyed our time and food. We were able to watch USopen women final and the atmosphere was great. The food was amazing. We started with pear salad and calamari dish and both had a good portion if ordered as entré. We had pizza, chicken fettuccine Alfredo and fried scallops with mushrooms and creamy sauce. I recommend all of them. Specifically scallop with that creamy sauce was awesome and the sauce for calamari was lemon zesty and a perfect match. The service and cleanliness and the location is topnotch.

Fantastic Food and Service! My husband and I visited today and we were helped by Tina. She and the rest of the staff were extremely friendly and the food was outstanding! We ordered the Ceviche to start and it was delicious! Peruvian style ceviche with a little kick. My husband had the porterhouse and I had the crab cakes. The crab cakes are truly “all crab, no cake” and super fresh! My husband’s steak was cooked perfectly and he loved the mushrooms that came with it! We finished with the carrot cake which is not only incredibly fresh but also massive! We already can’t wait to come back!

Apple pear salad was great , light on the sauce and perfect amount of nuts and cheese ! The view is great , it’s a perfect place for a business lunch or a date . Lots of parking around in the garage . Good service but it also wasn’t that busy !

My daughter and I went for pizza and drinks and had such a great time! You can sit outside by the river or inside. The bar also has indoor/outdoor seating. The service was excellent. The bartender Delissa, made me the best pink margarita I've ever had! If you don't like your drinks super sweet, definitely order this! We had the fried dough for dessert with chocolate and strawberry sauces. This place is definitely one to hit if you're in the Las Olas area.

This Matchbox is a five-star gem! The restaurant's stunning view of the river is breathtaking, especially when accompanied by live music on Sundays. The Poke Bowl is a standout dish packed with fresh flavors and served with perfect presentation. The attentive and friendly service adds to the overall experience. Highly recommended for anyone who loves great food, ambiance, and exceptional service!

Friendly service, great food, awesome outdoor views and live music. We had the Bloody Marys and Huevos Rancheros and it was great but the rest of the menu looked awesome too. Loved it!

We like everything we ordered. Pesto chicken pizza, mini burgers and spinach artichoke dip was delicious! The vibe was nice plus life music!

For the main entrée, I personally ordered the ribeye steak, cooked medium. This steak had such a savory juicy rich taste, and it was full-flavored with generous marbling throughout. It came paired with small red potatoes that were seasoned to perfection, asparagus, and garlic butter. One of my family members ordered the tuna poke bowl, made very fresh and plentiful. The other ordered the apples pear salad with blackened salmon.

Love this place. Stopped in while on a walk by the Riverwalk with my pups (yes, dog friendly at bar/outside patio) and sat at the bar for happy hour! The atmosphere, food, and wine was absolutely great. Great place to hangout or to go out on a date! They also have live music on the weekends. 11/10 recommend.

Such a nice new find! The food was great, lots of options to choose from. Super kind and friendly staff, fantastic service and a really nice atmosphere overall. Would definitely go back and highly recommend!

Really nice atmosphere, we couldn’t sit outside but it wasn’t that bad inside tbh, our waiter was really good , the food was amazing everyone enjoyed the food, it was clean & very fresh ! Definitely will be back and this time I would wanna sit out side by the water

Waterfront restaurant that started in DC. Helpful staff who accommodated kids and adults. Fast with drinks and quick to notice things like empty drinks. Great dinner pre wharf and great boat pull up spot. Had the sliders and spinach dip each were great. Got a pizza and they let us mix and match.

What I like the most about this restaurant is that you can come in your boat, yatch or dinghy and anchor right in front of the restaurant at NO cost. Very nice food, good costumer service, efficient service.

With the flooded week we had, I throughly needed dinner out. Thank you Maria for the food & drink suggestions, especially the Garden Veggie Pizza - I wish I had a before picture, but it was so good! Happy Hour is a must😚

Destiny was very attentive and made sure our order came out correctly. Found this place while dodging the rain and glad we did. The pepperoni pizza was thin and delicious. If we hadn't eaten a few hours before we would've ordered more. Would love to return!

Always a great spot to sit, relax and have drinks & food, looking at the boats go by in the new river. Totally recommended

Good food, enjoyed it. What I didn't enjoy was the service as I sat at the bar. I believe it was a Tuesday, bartender was slow and it wasn't that busy. The biggest issue was a huge fan blowing in my face. I moved twice, and it was still in my face and powerful and loud. When I asked, the bartender gave me attitude and said it was for the bugs and walked away. Good spot, great location, just a poor service issue sitting at the bar. Go though, you'll likely enjoy it too.

I enjoyed my meal. The service was great. Right on the river so the atmosphere was nice. I ordered from the brunch menu. The shrimp and grits was tasty and the French toast was good. The cinnamon buns were ok

This restaurant by the water offers American style food. You have the option of pizza, a couple of sandwiches, salads and burgers. On Sundays (maybe other days as well) they have a breakfast buffet for $35 per person. We went for the a la carte option. Ordered the mini burgers which come with friend onions and they were very good. The cheese pizza was good but a bit too spicy for our taste. The service was good. You can sit indoors or outdoors facing the river.

I really liked the water firm atmosphere, being in April you are still Abel to sit outside without humidity. It wasn’t packed so I got a front row seat if the river walk. I had the brined half chicken, wedge salad and calamari. Super tasty, I even laid at the table towards the end of the meal on their tablet to get ahead of it. Walked around the corner and took an Uber back home for $10. If you want to walk the Riverwalk before or after dinner to work up an appetite or to burn off the meal , you are in the right spot

Nice ambiance right on the Riverwalk! They have a "social hour" that begins around 4p- if not mistaken and ends at 7p... I came during this time... Good deal, the menu is decent and the prices too! I tried the veggie pot stickers... They're tasty, mine were fried just right and the other option is "steamed" Maria was the bartender on shift and was pleasant and attentive.... Multitasking even! Love the vibe.

First experience with Matchbox through Grubhub. Ordered the Expresso Brownie and the Caramel Brownie Cheesecake 2/3/23. Total Cost with tip 35.00. $10.80 each item. Portion were super small. The Expresso Brownie is overated. Caramel Brownie Cheesecake was good though. So that's a 3 in my opinion

I don't know if someone is paying for these reviews. I do know that the only good thing to eat was the fresh, delicious pizza. The atmosphere is great and decor nice. Our server didn't refill our drinks or come check on us, maybe because there is a gap between outside and inside and it was raining. The sliders, wings, ribs, spinach dip, chips, and donuts were all pretty yucky. We took a bite of each and left the rest. I would return for the fantastic pizza and the ambiance.

The food was okay. But great location and drinks. The staff is nice. * The shrimp got us a little sick*

+1

I see a lot of good reviews, so maybe it was an off-night. Not crowded, and Service was exceptuonally slow. Maybe it's not fair to single out this place, but seems to me like restaurant service in general has been very poor for years now. These are supposed to be top-shelf joints, and they have prices to match. I can eat at home for a fraction of the price, without a side of attitude. Giving up the dining out experience for now.

I wish I could have given negative stars for Service & Atmosphere. Truly awful. We sat at a half empty bar, that had almost as much staff as it did patrons. We were totally ignored UNTIL one of the bartenders overheard me quietly saying to my husband that I was not happy with the service. So.... although they were ignoring us, they were definitely listening. Tacky and unprofessional. At that point, we only wanted the check - which was basically thrown at us. Wow. Further, the bathrooms were disgusting. Super dirty. We are locals.... this place is on our "never again" list. We'll be sure to tell all of our Las Olas neighbors as well.

Despite our very kind waiter, this dinner was very disappointing. The Fish and Chips were $25 (before tax + gratuity) with portions smaller than what you would expect to get at a fast food restaurant. The meal took up less than half of the space on the platter and I finished it in under five minutes. It felt like a small appetizer with fast food quality. In a city with countless restaurants vying to win your business, this one should be swiftly taken out of consideration.
