Small Homely type of restaurant with great food and exceptional service. Highly recommend getting reservations as it gets busy quickly and it's obvious why! Everything from the wine to the tasting menu was worth ever bite. Can't wait to go back!

Visited the town for the Scarecrow festival. Great concept and so much fun. Weather was superb and streets, alive with happy tourists. Lunch at Mateus was pleasant and happy. Food, good. Service, excellent. Abuzz with very happy patrons. Location is in the midst of all things celebratory for the town. Mood was exceptional and would highly recommend. Ate outdoors, but obviously had an option to dine indoors.

Excellent dinner in a cozy atmosphere. We wanted a traditional Sunday dinner. Great margaritas wine selection and hospitable service. A fantastic experience I would highly recommend. Everything on the menu looked delicious.

The chower was very runny and the prawns were tasteless. This is coming from our family from England. Quite a disappointment. Oh well, skip it if you can.

Excellent burger, good coffee (French press), tasty dessert. Lots of outdoor seating, although the tables and chairs left something to be desired.

Friday grill night was fantastic. We sat outside on the patio which had a great atmosphere with comfortable seating, fantastic live music and excellent food. The kind of place you want to stay all night. The grilled lobsters and mussels were all amazing!

3 of us arrived at our reservation time of 530pm on Friday night which was their grill night. The menu looked delicious. We sat on the patio on a very warm summer night. Once they fired up their grill we got severely smoked out by their green round BBQ, so did others. We chose to move inside so we didn't spend the rest of the night smelling like smoke. I ordered 30$ salmon, rice and grilled veggies. When my order arrived I could have easily put all the food on my plate into a small 1 cup, so that was disappointing, my grilled asparagus was purely a char stick and uneatable, my potatoes were 1/2 cooked and the 2 zucchini pieces were charred mush. The salmon tiny morsal was good. I was still hungry. My daughter ordered the lobster, which was less than 1 pound and must have been boiled in old water, it was tasteless. Her veggies were the same as mine, either undercooked, mush and all was charred. My grandson had a steak which he enjoyed. His veggies were the same as ours.
Super disappointing meal and a total rip off. We went down the road and ordered tacos which were delicious.
Don't waste your hard earned money here folks.

Really enjoyed the meal. Great mocktail and steak special. I do wish they had given more vegetables though, I found the portions small. The live music was lovely.

We had tenderloin and halibut on the grill and both were done perfectly. And the dessert was amazing. The owner’s mother’s recipe. Loose tea served in a bodum. Perfect meal! Worth the drive from HRM.
