Great Restaurant, 11/1/2009
Reviewer: Tom
from Albuquerque, NM
Food and service is excellent - definitely in the "fine dining" category. However, the room has a metal ceiling and was very noisy - they need to install some sound-absorbing material. Overall, a very very good experience. Arguably the best restaurant in the Los Olivos, Lompoc, Solvang area.

Great quality food, 9/23/2009
Reviewer: Janice

The food was absolutly delicious. Service, not so good. Waitress came around only twice and that's because I had to yell across the room to get her attention. Other than that, the food was great and the place is very vintage like, very beautiful. Very relaxing place to dine for my birthday.

Excellent Experience, 2/15/2009

My husband and I went to Mattei's Tavern for our "Valentines". We had never been but were interested in the restaurant due to the menu posted online. We throughly enjoyed everything! As a server myself, I appreciate the helpful service and constant refilling of our beverages. My husband had the top sirloin and I the Pork Chop rib. Both were excellent, loved the bacon mashed potatoes! We followed dinner with their Lemon custard with blueberry cheesecake and a scoop of the butterscotch ice cream. Absolutley delicious! Thanks for making our night enjoyable! We will be back.

UNDERWHELMING
Reviewer: Shannon

I've visited Mattei's/Brothers several times over the past two years, and have seen a grave decline in food quality and service. Tonight, there was no prime rib available because "it had been overcooked." Instead, I received a crispy somewhat tasteless sirloin. The waiter was incredibly rude -- he chatted with patrons instead of waiting tables, was difficult, and when I ordered takeout, only gave me 1/4 of my order (due allegedly to container problems). Last time I visited, service was achingly slow, too. Two years ago, this place served the best prime rib in the area, and had great service. Sad to see such a change.

Disappointing
Reviewer: Brooke
from Carpinteria, CA
I had read about the restaurant and was very excited to visit. We were seated in a room with a brick floor and a great view of the backyard. Our server was greta but the food was lacking. Of our party of four, only the prime rib entree was good. The buffalo, sirloin and pork were extremely dry and the sides unappetizing. My husband substituted the bacon mashed potatoes for the regular and was very happy with them. The dessert special was really the only part of the meal I enjoyed. I won't be dining here again anytime soon. I much preferred the Hitching Post.

Excellent food, but no charm... :-(
Reviewer: Becky

We had dinner at Mattei's Tavern last night, and I have to say that while the food was well prepared and our service was good, I was very disappointed in the ambience. We were seated in an area that felt like a walkway right in front of the kitchen - it was drafty and noisy. I had expected better based on the invinting rooms that we passed through to get there. The busboys and waiters were folding napkins at a table at one end of the room and it was brightly lit and busy. We also had a very loud diner at the table next to us who made it feel crowded. All in all, while the food was good, I was disappointed in the overall experience and probably won't go back when there's so many other choices in the area.
