Reviews by the General Public

special occasion restaurant, 1/14/2010
Reviewer: dot from Santa Barbara, CA
This is the place to go to celebrate special occasions. The food is amazing. Particularly love the goat cheese stuffed chicken. Prime Rib mouth watering. Desserts are delicious, fresh sorbets, chocolate gelato. Atmosphere old fashioned,(was an old stage coach stop). Warm and inviting. Never disappointed.


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 from Los Angeles, CA
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
Reviewer: Carrie from Santa Barbara, CA
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 from Santa Barbara, CA
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.
