Reviews
While the servers are friendly, service can be slower than you might hope. That said, the generous family-style portions make it worth the wait, and the prices reflect the quality and size. With a great atmosphere and plenty of parking, it’s ideal for big groups or family dinners.
We began with cocktails that immediately set the tone. My husband had the Master Pandan—a creative mix of rum and toasted popcorn that was as delicious as it was unique. I went for a spicy margarita with nordello peppers and absolutely loved it. Just the right balance of heat and citrusy brightness.
To start, we shared nigiris and a ceviche clásico, both incredibly fresh and vibrant. We then moved on to a variety of recommended dishes that made for a well-rounded and exciting meal. The standout for me was the Pulpo al Olivo—perfectly cooked octopus with a rich, addictive sauce that I’m still dreaming about. Other favorites included the bluefin tuna tiradito, a refreshing salad with sesame dressing, and a crisp, flavorful snapper katsu.
Though we were comfortably full, we wanted the full experience—and ended with the smoked plantain and sweet potato dessert. We rarely order dessert, but this was absolutely worth it. A beautiful balance of sweet, smoky, and creamy that ended the meal on a high note.
But what truly set this experience apart was the service. Our waitress, Nai, was incredibly well-trained, attentive, and genuinely engaged throughout our visit. Every staff member who delivered a dish made a point to connect with us—even if briefly—and it made the entire evening feel warm and intentional.
Both my husband and I work in restaurants ourselves, so we always appreciate good service when we see it—and this was above and beyond. Combined with stunning food and a welcoming vibe, Maty’s and Itamae Residency delivered a night we won’t forget.
Highly, highly recommended.
Interesting flavors and beautiful presentation, definitely a restaurant worth visiting at least once. I got scallop as an appetizer and teres major (steak) as my main, but still was a bit hungry. Luckily, the delicious donuts (Picarones) were very satisfying as a desert. That was probably my favorite dish on the entire menu. The service was excellent. Menu is updated quite frequently, so can always come back for new dishes.
Solid spot with quick service. The brunch menu is definitely limited on choices, but from what my group ordered, everything was great.
I was on my way elsewhere when I passed by and was greeted by Liz, I felt compelled to stay and dine here. A quick glance at the menu outside also sealed the deal forsure. Highlights for me were the hotate (scallop) nigiris, royale cebiche, and lobster roll, each dish packed with flavor and beautifully prepared.
Natalie and David were wonderful bartenders, and chatting with Laz about the restaurant’s story & our experiences in the industry added something really special to the night. I love how each staff member really took their time to make sure I had a great time. For dessert I asked the team to surprise me, and they chose the mille-feuille with chancaca ice cream, a nice twist on the French pastry, created by James Beard Award-winning Chef Valerie Chang. It was the perfect ending. Every part of the experience felt personal and thoughtfully done. Next stop, AO for omakase
now to the food… wow! this menu is just incredible & well thought out. every dish & drink had a different kick to it that was unfamiliar to our palate in the best way ever. cant wait to come back & enjoy all over again. thanks for an amazing experience
– OYSTERS (AJÍ AMARILLO LECHE DE TIGRE, HUACATAY) Looked beautiful but all I could tasted was super sour. I love oysters and like to taste them when I have them. The topping was totally overpowering.
– SCALLOP CEBICHE (GRAPES, BURNT SERRANO, CILANTRO) Again, beautiful to look at, totally sour. Delicate scallops & grapes were overpowered by the sauce.
– TORTITAS (SEASONAL PICKLES, HOT SAUCE) Yummy but how could fried corn dough not be?
– YELLOWFIN TUNA (PINTO BEANS, FINGER LIMES, CILANTRO) This was DELICIOUS! Super fresh & bright! Perfectly seasoned.
– KANPACHI (AJÍ DULCE, LEMON, POTATO CRISPS) Also delicious & also well seasoned. Not overpoweringly acidic.
– GEM LETTUCES (GOAT GOUDA, PUFFED RICE, AJÍ AMARILLO TEHINA) Back to square one… beautiful but overpoweringly salty & drenched in dressing.
– CHARRED CORN (CHOCLO, PARMESAN, SWEET CORN HUANCAÍNA) It was ok. I would have wanted more char & less cheese.
– BEETS (ROASTED PEPITAS, AJÍ LIMO SALT, CELERY) Good & adding to the salad helped cut the saltiness.
– BONE-IN RIBEYE + FRIES (PACHIKAY AU POIVRE) I don’t eat meat but everyone loved it.
– DORADE (AJÍ AMARILLO BEURRE BLANC, CHIVES) Now this… THIS dish was incredible! One of the most delicious fish dishes ever! Perfectly cooked & that sauce?!? The stuff of dreams! Literally the BEST thing on the menu & reason enough to come eat here.
I’ve read so many great reviews & heard so many good things about this place. Maybe the chef was a bit heavy handed with the acid that night? Maybe I was extra sensitive to sour? Who knows but because the things that were good were THAT good, I will definitely be back. Great atmosphere, great vibe & good cocktails. Definitely warrants another visita.
