   A fun place - nice date night place. Tables are close together though and can be very noisy.

   They easily accommodated my party of 10, our waitress was very attentive and had a quick, sharp humor which I love. The food was very good and served in a timely manner, not all at once but not too far apart either. I enjoyed the evening in no small part to the fine job the staff did

   Mateo never disappoints. The food, drinks and service are consistently excellent. The downstairs is lively and loud. Very loud. My husband and I prefer to sit upstairs where you can have a normal volume conversation. Every dish is a tasty delight but if you have a big appetite order one of the larger plates.

   My friends were raving about Mateo’s & I’m so glad we opted here for date night. I was 10 min from the restaurant when I realized my reservations were for the next evening, but I was able to immediately book bar seating at 7:30 on a Friday evening, which saved the day! The tapas were delicious, especially the goat cheese stuffed dates & steak bites. Cannot wait to go back to try a few more dishes! For context, my wife and I ordered 4 plates, and we left satiated!

   Loved this place! We celebrated a birthday with a party of 5, and we loved the food and the service. Highly recommend.

   Every dish was exquisite. Our server couldn’t have been better. Ambiance is great. Noise level is really high, but there’s lots of life in there!

   Consistently amazingly good. We've been coming here for years and I honestly can't say I've had a bad experience. It's authentic tapas, we love it.

   We've had many positive experiences up until this last one. The noise even upstairs was uncomfortably loud, and tonight's waitress apparently had much more important places to be than waiting on us. We had to skip dessert and ask for the check to make our DPAC show.
