Stopped in for brunch... great ?? service from the beginning we were seated immediately. The apple and bacon crostini was delicious as our appetizer along with our craft mimosas. Brunch dishes were on point as well I had the delicious chorizo hash and potatoes and we also had a Dutch baby...

This is a highly cultured and sophisticated place in the middle of farmland central California. .. Judith the owner is a specialist in fine wine. Her sister does the cooking ... The food and the platter is as good or better than top restaurants in LA. Hidden gem . Amazing !

Elegant atmosphere perfect place for girlfriends to have an lunch or dinner while enjoying mimosas or wine. Yet, also an excellent place for a couples luncheon or dinner. We were sat immediately, had or order taken and mimosas served within 10 minutes...Amazing service. I am looking forward to

We found this place on Yelp as they have great reviews. We came in to give it a try on a whim. We stopped in during brunch. It's a lovely restaurant with classy interior decor and a bar with mostly two top tables with chairs and a long padded bench. It's located in historic downtown Ripon. Our server Taylor was very accommodating and polite and had great menu recommendations. We tried a couple mimosas and some chorizo eggs Benny, chorizo hash and the regular eggs Benedict. We also tried the smoked salmon crostini with capers. Everything was very good. The chorizo hash was spectacular and the hollandaise on both versions of Eggs Benedict we sampled was delicious. I had the hibiscus mimosa and they make a hibiscus syrup in house. It was very good. We also had the French kiss mimosa made with sake.

First off, Dean is great! Welcoming and accommodating. Terrific spot for laying back for food and drinks after a long day to unwind with your spouse, family or friends. Haven't tried the brunch yet. Will have to come back!

This was our first time here, and the reason we chose those spot was for the mimosa flights on their yelp review. BUT they do not serve them anymore which was disappointing. The food menu is limited for brunch. It was strange that all brunch items came with a side salad. The food was good, but for the pricing was on the more expensive side. For 3 people and we paid about $106 total. The overall service was good.

So like a lot of others, it pains me to give a poor review to a local establishment, but man, this just is not a great spot if you're coming to eat dinner! As the name of the place says, it IS a matter of taste, and unfortunately their food just didn't have it. We paid $35 per entree for extremely small portions. Two people had the crab linguini which was missing crab and was basically some noodles in a non existent sauce. The other two had the short ribs over the Mac and cheese. I mean, it was OK? But I would never ever pay what I did knowing I could get a steak at the Roadhouse two doors down for the same price. Finally, we ordered the loaded tater tots as an appetizer and after 10 minutes the server says that they don't have any tots but can make the appetizer with baby potatoes instead. We didn't complain, but when the appetizer came out, the baby potatoes were extremely undercooked--seriously, they were snapping as we bit them. Pretty bad. The 2 stars are for the server who was attentive and nice. Too bad his food recommendations were so wrong. At lease the ice cream emporium was right across the street since we left Matter of Taste with still a large appetite. 5 stars to the ice cream emporium for finishing the job! Back to the drawing board MoT.
Wonderful made from scratch food Great taste Impressive presentation Highly recommended

We had the 3 course meal with wine pairings for each. Elijah was our server. He was excellent. He provided great customer service, and knowledgable information of the wines and pairings with our salad, main course and dessert. We left here happy and will definitely return.

They are cheep skates! An extra thimble size container with salad dressing 2.99? After spending $16.00 for 2 sandwich's each with a small salad plus beers, you would think they would say sure no problem so we would come back? What if I didn't like their recommended dressing? We will continue to go and love the Ripon Road house, Marcus is a sweetheart. Las Consuelas, Brothers, Pizza Plus, and all the restaurants by SaveMart. Get a clue, yes taste matters and customer service matters more. We will not recommend or be back.

Service was ok, but the food was lacking. I have never had an Eggs Benedict with an untoasted english muffin. If that's the was it is normally served, it was a mushy mess (Crab Benedict). I did have an issue that I didn't bring up at the time since we were there for a party and didnt want to dampen the mood. I am a huge believer that my change is mine to do what I want with. I can give it back to the server as an additional tip, on top of the 20% that was already added to our tab, or keep it. It's my money. It really irks me when the server never brought my roughly $3 change after the 20% tip. I never said keep the change. I had planned on giving it to him, but the fact he just kept it irked me. It's not the amount of money...it's the principle that he assumed it was his.
