Shared a great burger and attempted to share a medium rare (actually extremely well done overcooked) steak.

Really disappointed in the service today. Sunday brunch. Few diners, but still took 30 minutes to get cocktails and another 45 minutes to get simple breakfast food. Unfortunate.

wife and I went for brunch, we thought we were going for an upscale brunch but would have better to stay at home. completely dead inside (but blasting old school rap music) service was inattentive (asked for sparkling water and brought still, and no refills throughout the brunch). Food was somehow brunt but cold. Our recommendation is to go to brunch at the Kitchen for downtown boulder.

I was the highest bidder for a chef tasting/wine pairing dinner for 10 at Mateo with Mathew (the owner) at a live auction. After organizing with Corey, the chef, setting a date and confirming that morning, the chef tasting with Mathew didn’t happen. We had 10 guests coordinate baby sitters and get dressed up for the most disappointing dining experience. Mathew had tickets to the CU game with Corey so they bailed without talking to us. The poor staff scrambled to accommodate our party size by making the tiniest table seat 10 people by the bathrooms. Then it was like the kitchen ran out of food and every other person received a half portion to share. Dessert was every third. It was so embarrassing. It’s taken me a few weeks to write this after being so disappointed. I found out later, the benefit actually paid the restaurant for the auction item. I will never recommend Mateo or Raglin Market (their other restaurant) to anyone ever again.

Very nice food preparation and pleasant ambiance. Not too formal but with many good elements to enjoy the food. It is one of the casual mid-high end restaurant. Maybe not fancy but great place to go.

I’ve been here a few times and the food/cocktails/wine are excellent. The service has always been slow but it’s usually been worth it. Unfortunately I have to amend that because no matter how good the food is, if you don’t get utensils for 20 minutes after the food comes, or your cocktail order doesn’t come out for 40 minutes(and then is wrong) it doesn’t matter. I really hope service gets better and I can change this review.

Loved our Sunday Brunch. Friendly staff & delicious food. We were a party of 6. We each chose a different dish and everyone enjoyed their meals!! Mateo’s is wonderful about making accommodations for dietary preferences. Highly recommended!

It was just ok which was really disappointing since we were very excited to dine at Mateo.Our server was new which is totally understandable.We dined early and we’re there for the happy hour menu. We had the butter lettuce salad (regular menu) which was very good. The dressing was perfect.We also had the steak frites and the moulles from the happy hour menu. The steak was tough and definitely not what I would expect from a Provençal bistro. The moulles were good. I’d eat those again.We finished with the lemon tarte and the panne cotta both of which were average.I was surprised by the number of Italian wines on the list since it’s a Provençal restaurant. There were no white or rose French options.With all of the great restaurants on Pearl St we have lots of options which means each restaurant has to be top notch. This one didn’t perform .
We had a business dinner here. It was fabulous. Service was excellent. The food is amazing. We had a great

Thoroughly enjoyed everything about this establishment. So glad that my fiancé and I found this spot, not only is the atmosphere comforting but the staff was so kind, helpful and made us want to come back even before we had received our dishes. The food was delicious and prepared beautifully, will definitely be back in the times to come! Sadly it was a bit dark by the time we got the entrees so the photos aren't as clear but trust and believe, it was exquisite.

I’d love to give a review of how the food was but despite having an hour before close, I was told I couldn’t be seated with no explanation of why. I was a party of one and there were only a couple other groups of people in various stages of dining.It is very nice inside. Too bad the level of care given to promoting a friendly atmosphere wasn’t there. I read another review that said the food was not good so maybe it was for the best.

The mussels tasted fishy and bitter, and the risotto was undercooked. And in tiramisu, the water came out. What the hell is going on? Only the server was friendly. It was a restaurant I loved, but I don't think I'll go there anymore.
