Mattison's Catering Company

Our wait staff, Donny and Shawn, were very attentive and dealt with a large party well. We ordered off the menu and the appetizers and entrees were very good, came out at the same time, and were enjoyed by all.

We came after Thanksgiving and were very disappointed to hear that the pizzas had been removed from the menu. We've had them in the past and they are delicious. We did have the pasta special. I thought it was good but my wife thought it was so so. Kelly, the bartender is great!

We booked on line, you can pick a table or booth. Lots of free parking, there’s outside seating too, but not this time of year thank you! We’d hoped there’d be live music but that’s on Mondays and I think they said Thursdays only. They have a set three course $40 menu, but most of the same items are on the a la carte menu which is odd, and a few specials were shared. The warm herb bread was nice and for a change in Sarasota the water was filtered and tasted great, so they get a plus from me for that! Decor is modern looking and tables are not close together which is also a pleasant change. Tuna tower was a large portion, as was the beet salad - bigger than needed! The lamb chops were great, but the Greek salad would have been better with crunchy iceberg lettuce than soft mixed green lettuce. But that’s just my preference. The fish and chips portion also large, and was good - malt vinegar would have made it very British traditional but was not served. The bread pudding would have been lovely if they’d avoided pouring the sweet raspberry syrup all on top of it! Wine selection by the glass is reasonable. Our sever was very attentive and friendly. I mentioned in our on line reservation that it was our anniversary and told the hostess too on check in and asked her if we could get a nice table because of that, but no attempt was made to recognize our special occasion - why ask the question on the booking form if you’re not going to offer a dessert, drink, or something? Maybe just offer the 9oz pour for the 6oz price, if your celebrating a special occasion? All in all a nice dinner, a little on the old fashioned style of food for us, big portions and over complicated use of more ingredients than needed, but you can’t complain about the value for money.

We had a real fun night. I had the Shrimp and mango salad. It was very good, but maybe the mango could have been a bit bigger. The 9 oz filet was very tender. Fish and Chips was excellent. Our waiter Shawn was delightful. He was knowledgeable and a very fun guy. He really contributed to the atmosphere. Definitely give him a high 5. Will go back again.

Came for Easter Sunday and I I have never been to a better buffet. I’m clear that a buffet is not their typical fare, but as my first time it could not have been a better experience. The staff were extremely helpful and the facilities were clean and comfortable. I’ll make an effort to get back their for a “regular” day when I go back to visit my family down there in the coming months.

Mattison's has catered many events for me, they always go above and beyond in food & service! Jacquee helped me throughout the process with planning and execution. The team that came out handled everything perfectly. I would suggest them to anyone wanting great food & service!

Reviews sounded great, so the four of us took the plunge. I had requested an outside table but ended up sitting in the fully populated lounge, packed with seniors...who were have a really great time. This is where the "bring your sense of humor" comes in. This crowd truly enjoyed the piano player and the songs he played...so much so that when he hit Sweet Caroline, the place erupted with women of every age singing, dancing, and visiting each nearby table to implore you to join in. It was a hoot...but if your looking for a quiet fine dining experience, make sure you ask for a table away from the lounge. That being said...the food was terrific. I had the best truffled gnocchi with pork ragu I've ever had. The bruschetta appetizer is enormous. My wedge salad was a treat. The calamari was good...but nothing special. The roasted beet salad got smiles, as did the shrimp & mango salad, the pan seared snapper and filet mignon. Nice wine list, friendly people and attentive service. Go..have fun.

Haven’t been to the restaurant in awhile but visited it on February 22. My son and daughter in law came for a quick visit and my first choice was Mattisons 41, Didn’t disappoint- great atmosphere, great service and great meal. I’m a hero. Now that Covid is not such an issue I will make more visits. My wife just wishes that the menu include more Italian dishes.

Mattison Catering made my daughters wedding night perfect. The food was delicious. The serving staff and bar staff could not of been more accommodating. They were so friendly. They made sure everyone was taken care of. I cannot say enough good about Tina in sales. She was so nice to work with. They definitely deserve 5 stars.

Within a couple days Mattison's team handled two events for us and both were amazing! Jess and the team were totally on top of it and easy going. We have multiple dogs running around and they were so sweet with them!

The food was exceptional, had the bruschetta, artichokes, and pork belly appetizer to start!!! The Pot Roast Reconstructed was so delicious along with sampling some other family choices, the Bertha Palmer and the Rosemary honey glazed salmon!! Presentation and flavors, 15 out of 10!! The spicy blackberry margarita is also a wonderful twist for those tequila lovers!! The menu choice has a little bit of everything, but not too overwhelming. Having the grandkids in tow at the birthday celebration, they also have a nice children's menu with a word search activity to keep them occupied. For those that haven't been, check out Mattison's on 41, a nicely decorated and spacious restaurant with outside seating weather permitting!! Thanks to our server Sean who definitely catered to all of our needs, certainly a big kudos to the chef!!! And let's not forget Robert the matra-d who's the icing on the cake! Thanks for a woderful evening celebrating papa's bday get together.

Great food and great staff!!! The pot roast reconstructed is my favorite meal. If you are looking for a great meal with great staff then head to Mattisons 41.

presentation and service were Booked a private party for 135 people and closed the restaurant. Food, Staff, Dessert were superb! Accommodating staff and banquet mgr.

I'm not exaggerting when I say all my wedding guests shared they had the best wedding meal at my big day. Mattison's blew it out of the park. It was a total experience.From passed creative appetizers and stunning cheese display to perfectly executed salads/entrees, and overflowing dessert table, each course was devoured. And you can't forget the tastiest late night taco bar!! Most importantly, Each person on their team was so professional, kind and welcoming. We even had one of the staff leaders personally cater/care for my husband and I throughout the evening to ensure we ate on our wedding evening. Truly exceptional catering company.I also want to personally thank Kourtney, who worked with us the whole way. She planned the best tasting menu the year prior, dealt with multiple date changes due to Covid, patiently handled my indecisiveness on the final menu, welcomed personalizations to the menu, and made seating chart/assignment details so easy. She is hyper-responsive and knows how to work so well with other vendors. Not to mention, she is just fun :)Thank you a million, Mattison's!!

We have been working with the Mattison's team since 2019 and could not be happier with their professionalism and attention to detail. Kourtney and Tina make a formidable team and they put together an amazing team for our event. We celebrated our wedding October 15th, 2022 after Covid forced us to postpone. Tina Bass, our event coordinator, listened to our needs and delivered in every aspect: hors d'oeuvres, dinner menu, rentals and more. She accommodated to our out-of-the-box venue in Nokomis and even granted me the bilingual crew I requested. They bring their own ovens, and the Chef prepares the food on site. The Captain, Nico, was the consummate professional and his entire team endured rain for the sake of our guests. Our bartender, John, never lost the smile on his face. The food was delicious and we wholeheartedly recommend Mattison for any event, large or small.
