This was our second time eating with the Matador. We love the menu for the Vallard Seafood Fest. We plan on trying your Charleston, SC location in September when we go for our son's Navy Nuclear school graduation.

Good happy hour food and prices, affordable drinks, charged for a replacement drink and the drink they took away after I pointed out it was undrinkable on account of being significantly sweeter than my partners (same drink). Felt like I got an angry face and attitude from our waitress since asking for a replacement the whole time.

Have been here dozens of times and the staff is always incredible and friendly. Food is great and it’s the perfect place to watch a game
If you don’t want a sports bar vibe but still want to watch!
