Description

The restaurant received a mix of reviews focusing mainly on the service and food quality. One reviewer was disappointed with the server's behavior, stating that she seemed distracted and unprofessional due to her negative personal conversations within earshot of customers.

Despite these issues, many diners praised the ambiance and food quality, especially the seafood options like chowder and halibut.

Good food and great friendly service.We had a haddock sandwich as well as a Reuben. Tried out the local beer on tap which was very good.

Great place to have lunch! The staff is so friendly and they have a nice outdoor patio. We sit there and order some local beer to start with, followed by fresh fish cooked on a BBQ outside on the patio! Tasty and full of flavor dishes! Must try!

Cute place. Small restaurant in an old house. Not the most attentive waitress They didn't seem to have enough staff. I ordered the panko haddock and my husband ordered the beef stroganoff. It was so delicious. Not huge helpings (i usually end up bringing home leftovers). The stroganoff sauce was thin but scrumptious I could taste the wine. The haddock was served with asparagus and mashed potatoes. Could have used a little more tartar sauce. I loved it all. Would come back.

Beautiful location and seating very comfy. Greeted immediately by a beautiful and friendly hostess. The menu is fabulous and great offerings and gets your tastebuds going. We had the chowder, halibut and burger. All were cooked perfect. For dessert we had the cheese cake, don't skip it.

We had dinner at Mateus last Saturday after strolling the shops of mahone bay. The meal was awesome! We started with Dem Breadsticks which is a delicious cheese I fondue with crusty toasted French bread sticks for dipping. Yum! ' We both had the steak which was thick and tender as our main. They had lovely live music )which was at just the right volume) Would highly recommend this spot !!!
