Matts in the Market - Seattle (WA)

4 /5 Lydia Mwambi: Had a lovely time, great drinks, stellar service from Sam W. The oysters, beef tar tar, and pork were INCREDIBLE. My friends had the octopus and said the depth of flavor was spot on, they raved and raved about it! Sadly, I could only give 4 stars for the food because the halibut I had was overdone and therefore dry, even with the delicious gazpacho it was served with. Over cooked white fish is always a let down, but I would highly recommend and will definitely be back!

5 /5 Maui World Travelers: The menu here is very eclectic. ATMOSPHERE: As soon as you walk in it feels like youre in someones apartment. Old, quaint, dim accent lighting, open air, cinder block walls & varnished wood ceilings with huge windows with a great view of the Public Market. The kitchen is in open view. FOOD: Burrata Mozzarella pieces with a balsamic fig sauce, fresh figs, rhubarb and toasted bread. This was really good. Nice app to sweeten your palette. Grilled Octopus Damn this was good! A couple of legs with kimchee & arugula. Yummy! Charcuterie The selection changes daily. We got steak tartar, rabbit patte, raw scallops with tobiko, and chicken liver mousse. Everything was delish! Raw phoebes beware! Half Roasted Chicken Crispy & tender chicken over mashed potatoes, with wild mushrooms, pearl onions and sprouts on the side. I almost never order chicken in restaurants because its so boring and common, but our server recommended this and it was delish! He mightve changed my discriminative mind! Kurobuta Pork Tenderloin Super tender pre-cut chunks of pork with a smooth salty flavor, over a bed of mashed potatoes, greens, ham hock, and 2 pieces of chicharone. SERVICE: We had reservations for 9:30 pm. The place was still pretty busy. The host greeted us within a minute. Our server was very attentive and professional. Our drinks never got below half before they were refilled. Excellent without being overdone. OVERALL: Excellent food and service. A great alternative if youve had enough seafood.

4 /5 Kay Sig: The seafood stew is amazing, my partner had the halibut said it was good. The service was fine by most of the staff. The waitress was a buzz head, black hair lady.. was very rude, no checking in.. didn’t even finish service with her, had the hostess and bartender help us out bc she wasn’t around. Waited over 40 mins for the stew

5 /5 Don Murphy: I’ve been here before years ago. It was amazing then and is amazing now. friendly staff . Impeccable service. Iconic views of Pike place Market . The drinks are well planned and executed. Last but not least , the food is beyond excellent. A perfect spot to celebrate our Anniversary. Thanks to @BigLeagueFoodie(mark Canha)for reminding me about this excellent restaurant.

5 /5 Patrick Mesick: The whole experience is quintessentially Seattle. Expect delicious seafood, excellent service, and a view right above Pike Place Market. Watching the sunset over the water beneath the buzz and glow of the iconic neon sign is an absolute bucket list dining experience. If you love seafood you can’t go wrong with the seafood stew. It’s absolutely loaded - salmon, clams, scallops. Yum!
