Reviews
I travel the country for a living, dining in restaurants of every style and caliber, but Match continues to be one of the few places that never misses the mark. The consistency here is something truly special — it’s what sets Match apart in a time when most restaurants seem to lose their touch after a few years.
Every visit feels like a reminder of what fine dining should be: outstanding service, beautifully crafted dishes, and flavors that deliver every single time. The value for the quality of food is exceptional — you’re getting top-tier dining without the pretense or inflated price tag.
Match is the kind of restaurant that always puts a smile on my face and makes me proud to call it a local favorite. No matter how many cities I visit, this gem keeps me coming back home.
The best thing about this place is the food, but before I share those details I want to brag on the staff. From the moment we walked in, we were treated with so much professionalism and kindness, as well as enthusiasm and expertise. They have really great wait staff, hosts, etc. Everyone we interacted with provided the highest level of service.
The wine list is impressive and I was thrilled to find a super Tuscan at a reasonable price on the menu (it was insanely good!).
But the food is the real star here. These dishes were just incredible. Flavor was intense, seasoning was perfection, and the temperature was exactly on point. I would not have changed one thing. I highly recommend the chicken entree.
The restaurant itself is spotlessly clean and we got great seats by the windows up front, which were perfect for people watching the street traffic. The place has a nice vibe of contemporary decoration mixed with functional classics.
I do have to note that in other cities, I have paid 2-3 times the price for a meal of this caliber. The pricing of the menu is so reasonable.
This is great food, at a great price, in a beautiful atmosphere, being prepared and served by very talented foodies. It was an amazing date night spot.
Very dissatisfied with the service and then charged 20% gratuity when in reality the service didn’t merit even 5%.
We were greater by our waitress who was very attentive and gave excellent food suggestions for the others in the party who have not eaten there before. We started off with the crispy Brussels which were very good and also had sweet potatoes mashed, mushrooms and pomegranate. This combo works well and was a nice starter.
Our meals were the spicy sausage pizza which is thin crust, around 14 in and made in a firewood oven. The gnocchi bolognese with ricotta was recommended and excellent. I ordered the burger and this is how I gauge a true chef as I never have luck with the burger coming out correctly. This place nailed it as the beef was juicy, flavorful and cooked perfectly! The Vermont cheddar, bacon and sautéed onion were a good combo. If I had one suggestion it would be when asked how you would like your burger cooked not stating “grey, pink or red” as the word grey (brown?) when referring to beef turns me away.
We finished the meal off with the apple crumble and that didn’t disappoint either. I will say again I loved the waitresses honestly when handing the bill and stating that the 20% gratuity was added in and this started at the time of COVID. Again this is over and I tried to talk to her she really didn’t want to hear it, said take it up with management and walked away (only negative about her response) and times are changing. I am suggesting 15%-20% would be more tasteful. She did offer to remove it which again I will state she was worth more than 20% before the bill and walking away after the above comment. 3 people, no alcohol, food ,2 sodas, gratuity and tax came to $124.
Carpetbaggers – 6 fried Norwalk oysters with truffle cream, truffled steak tartare, and truffle aioli. As someone who doesn’t usually enjoy oysters, these made me want to grab seconds. (10/10)
Tuna tartare – Comes on top of a large cracker which is a bit tough to cut, and is drizzled with sweet soy and an avocado sauce. It had a bit too much sweet soy sauce for my taste. (8/10)
Octopus frites – Braised and charred octopus with fried red potatoes. Solid dish, I’m just not the biggest octopus fan. (7/10)
Greek salad – Lettuce, diced tomatoes, and feta cheese, served on a warm spanakopita (Greek spinach pie with feta cheese). It’s a nice salad, but it doesn’t compare with the other dishes I tried. (8/10)
Bistecca alla Fiorentina – 60 oz Porterhouse, served with broccoli, mashed potatoes, pearl onions, and a bordelaise sauce. It says it’s for 2 people, but it’s so much food that it’s really for 3-4. So delicious if you can find people to share it with! (10/10)
Gnocchi – Gnocchi is usually my least favorite type of pasta. I’m not a fan of their texture, and how they get stuck to the roof of your mouth. But this gnocchi dish was my favorite of the night and probably the best gnocchi I’ve ever had. They’re tossed with peas, mushrooms, spicy Italian sausage, thyme, shallot and cream. The flavor and texture was heavenly. (10/10)
Strawberry rhubarb crisp – Warm fruit topped with an oat crumble, served with pistachio gelato. Delicious way to end the meal. (9/10)
