The Scene – This is quintessential Pike Place Market--clean, quaint, stylish and literally overlooking the Market clock and Elliott Bay. Located in the Corner Market building, the restaurant's soaring space holds a handful of tables, with seating for more diners at the counter or the bar. Tables afford a view of the Market, but the counter's birds-eye glance at the chef's antics is an all-right second. Expect a lunching business crowd at lunch; later, romantic couples canoodling. – – The Food – At lunch, there's a big fuss over po'boy sandwiches, either the catfish or…

Matt's -- Not As Good As It Used To Be
by dmreid
Over the past several months I have experienced less than stellar meals at Matt's. Last night's dinner was so poor in comparison to the fabulous food we enjoyed prior to and immediately after the expansion that I feel compelled to write this review. The arugula salad was so dry I asked for olive oil. The ling cod was overcooked and fishy in the center portion of the cut, and it was sitting in a bed of flavorless oil which gave it an unpleasant texture and taste. The cauliflower that came with the fish was rubbery and very unappetizing to look at. The service was good (as usual), as was our wine. On our way out we learned that Matt is no longer an owner or involved with the restaurant -- sadly, it shows.

Terrific gem slightly off the beaten path
by jonnybnyc
Matt's is hidden a bit a few floors up at the Pike's market. I had lunch there today on the recommendation of a friend. We walked in and got seats at the small bar. The bartender was really great - he helped us make some solid choices on the menu, made the most unique & tasty bloody mary that I've ever had, and was generally just fun to hang around with. The seafood chowder app was very good, the catfish sandwich was superb. Great atmosphere, nice location, good service - I highly recommend this spot.
- Pros: Great quality & variety; good bar

Very Impressed!

I am new to the area and went to Pike's Place market after everyone told me I had to experience it. We stopped in at Matt's and ate. I had read up on the reviews here and was hesitant. We had a great experience. I found the staff really accommodating and helpful and the food was absolutely delicious. I had seafood and my boyfriend had a steak. We finished our entire plates it was so good.
I have and would again recommend this place to anyone who asked as many of the other restaurants in this area didn't have near the same ambiance.
Loved Matt's overall and WILL be back.
- Pros: fantastic food
- Cons: crowded area
