   The area where we were seated was so noisy that it was impossible to carry on a conversation at our table! Very disconcerting!!

   I've gone to Matchbox several times but this time was the worse service ever. We had a reservation at 6. We didn't get our food until 7:25. The excuse was they had lots of holiday parties. This shouldn't be an excuse of why our food couldn't come timely. I ordered a medium rare steak salad. The steak was medium to well-done and cold. Paying $30 for the salad was ridiculous. We had a rush and eat to make an 8 o'clock show at nearby theater. Matchbox could do better.

   The seared scallops were incredible. My friend had the fig & prosciutto pizza and that was delicious too. We really enjoyed the freshly made donuts for dessert. Do not miss these donuts!!

   We took two of our grandchildren for dinner. Normally, we have their pizza. Tonight, we tried several of their other offerings. We were all pleased with our meals. Jake provided excellent service. We will return.

   Food and prices are good. The service was good at the beginning of the dinner but suffered when the restaurant became busy.

   Great food as always. The pineapple pizza was amazing! The cocktail was also a delight. I love their food selection and defiantly their pizzas are the best.

    Friends wanted to get together and left the venue to me. I suggested MATCHBOX as it was easy to get to and plenty of FREE parking available. I hadn't been to MATCHBOX in years and it was a venue other friends and I would meet up at pre-pandemic. We met up MON afternoon and the place was relatively quiet. I had been to the restaurant after work/happy hour and it would be packed to the gills! It was a pleasant venue for a light lunch and my friends had never been to the restaurant. A surprise for my friends who were experiencing MATCHBOX for the first time was being given a complimentary cheesy bread -- sort of like a thin white pizza with just enough garlic and side of red sauce for dipping. Our waiter was quick to take our order and food did not take long to be served. Honestly, I was very tired after having worked a morning shift (up at 3am to report to work at 5am) so having their Cream of Crab Soup and Simple Salad was enough for me since I planned to go home and "crash" for the rest of the day. My friends enjoyed their meals but what was nice was afterwards, we hung out in the restaurant continuing with our conversation catching up with each other. The staff never tried to "hurry us out" and the whole atmosphere of a quiet restaurant was conducive to our being able to converse without having to rush out of the restaurant. My friends were amazed at how big the place was (their first time being at the restaurant) and were glad of the choice of venue for meeting up. Also, when it came time to pony up on the bill, my friends said it was their treat as a belated birthday gift. Gotta love friends! Thank you MATCHBOX for providing a welcoming venue for 3 friends with an unhurried atmosphere to be able to hangout".
