We had a great lunch at Matt's in the Market! Great spot in the Market and the food was outstanding. The music was a little odd for a Sunday brunch but it seemed like it changed maybe after they heard us talking about it. Great service too, would definitely recommend!

A special spot within Pike Place Market with views of Elliott Bay. Food is unique and exceptional. Service was great.
Rebecca
Great dinner with friends celebrating a birthday. Had all the seafood we could get! Always a great meal at Matt's.
Jason
Halibut was outstanding . Oysters and cheese plate both terrific . Great waitress and front of the house dude.
Opentable Diner
Beyond our expectation based on a friends referral. Expecting " tourist level".. this was so much to more.

I ordered the salmon sandwich that this place had on "special." It was terrible. It tasted like they got it out of the freezer and microwaved it. It was inedible. My friend also ordered the salmon sandwich. Her reaction was the same. She could not eat this fish/dog food, because it was so terrible. We also got soup with our sandwich was below mediocre at best. I will never go back.
I was looking at my glass of beer and a smug waiter asked me if I had something in my glass. There was nothing in it, but he had the inclination of a stalker watching my every move. Every breath you take. The waiters will be watching you.

Great bartender! Skip the crab salad but deviled eggs and fish sandwich were amazing! Chowder was yum!
Couldn't have been better! The freshest of seafood, expertly prepared. Loved the halibut and the seafood stew. Basque cheesecake was a great finish.

I love Matt's in the Market: I feel like it's a uniquely Seattle place, nestled in a little corner overlooking Pike Place Market, with views of the activity below, the iconic market neon sign, and Puget Sound. It's always lively, and the service is superb and friendly, whether at a bar or at a table.
I feel like lunch is the best option here. I like the extra hubbub of the market, and though still spendy for a lunch, think that the lunch menu presents a better value than the dinner menu. I usually get one of the sandwiches when I have lunch here and have always enjoyed them—especially the crab roll I had recently. I like the deviled egg assortment, as well, and if you're into desserts, they are worth trying. Most recently I had a deliciously decadent chocolate gelato.
For dinner, I like the starter plates—the oysters are solid, and a small cheese plate (three cheeses) was a wonderful way to start off a dinner, split between two people. The entrees seemed excessively priced to me, and on my most recent visit, came out lukewarm. I understand that things happen in a busy kitchen, and I'd never otherwise experienced a fault like this, but it was enough to leave me with some mixed feelings about a $150/person dinner.
Regardless, I still find Matt's a local gem and a great place to take out-of-towners for a memorable meal when they visit. I'll return anytime, including for dinner if the occasion calls for it, but lunch will probably remain my sweet spot.

A wonderful experience; the staff were so friendly and accommodating to us, and the food was all fabulous.
Stopped by 20 mins prior to our 1245pm reservation om Tuesday, waited only 5 mins before being seated by the windows as requested overlooking pike place market. Service was excellent and food was served promptly after placing orders. Red beet salad with balsamic and olive oil on the side was fresh and delicious. Deviled eggs were quite tasty and surprisingly filling. Seafood chowder was quite tasty with a light but tasty broth and was quite filling as well. The focaccia bread was also light and tasty. We'll be back!

Cool place but didn’t have a good experience. Bringing visitors from Italy & the service was not good . We didn’t get the salade we ordered at all . Then we couldn’t get bread to go with the mussels. Then they brought our guest the wrong dinner. By the time they brought it out ( stew already cooked) the rest of us had already finished. They comped it , but we were so embarrassed . Our first time there & our last .

Very cute restaurant overlooking the market. Service and food were very good. The oysters and deviled eggs were particularly excellent. My husband also really enjoyed the rice bowl.
