I had been here several times and it has always been decent and although I have never written a trip advisor review before I now feel it necessary. I can categorically state I will not be returning as me, my wife and the couple we...visited Matthews Kitchen with all came down with awful food poisoning from the oysters and have all had to take time off work. I informed the restaurant who didn't seem too sympathetic and were more defensive if anything, telling me to go to A&E to get a blood test to make sure. I can be certain as the oysters were the only food we had which was the same and all of us became very sick at exactly the same time afterwards. I do hate to write a negative review but seeing how sick my wife was and the pain I was in I suggest they should change suppliers before others get sick!More

Best Seafood Restaurant in London without close competition. The incredible food was complemented with nice wine and top class service. Thanks to all staff including the lovely waitress who went above and beyond.

Had an excellent meal .. sourdough bread starter was delicious and portion enough for three to four people . One of us had bouillabaisse (fish stew ) and I had the whole sea bass . Both tasted really good Matthew’s mess (made with passion fruit...and mango) was exquisite.More

We have been dining at Matthews Kitchen for many years now on an almost weekly basis. The chef has never failed to deeply impress and the warm welcome from Matthew, his sister and their colleagues is always warm, welcoming and friendly. Having tried most of...their wonderful fish dishes over the year I am always excited to go back. By far the best restaurant in WhetstoneMore

We had the set menu. I was a bit surprised when the waitress told us the portions were smaller than usual as this is not normally the case with a set menu costing £21 for 2 courses, but anyway we ordered a few side dishes...to be on the safe side. That proved to be insufficient! The food was decent enough, but for a restaurant marketing itself for its sea food and fish, there was precious little fish on the plate. The fish taco starter consisted of one thin strip of fish and the sea bass fillet main course is best described as a thin slither. The fish and chips was more like a child's portion. After the meal we visited the supermarket opposite to grab something to eat at home which probably best sums up the experience.More

We have eaten here a few times and it never disappoints Beautiful flavours really well cooked amazing service. The deal on the mussels are worth every penny, my son had two large bowls and he said they are some of the best he has ever...tasted. My seafood pasta was full of flavour Even though my son is 27years old they kindly gave him ice cream with a candle in for his birthday.!! Thank youMore

We went for lunch. The dining room was empty but we still felt very comfortable and welcome. The food was excellent - ceviche, octopus, grilled prawns, tuna steak - and cooked to perfection. There was a good choice and it was hard to choose! What...elevated this to a solid 5 was the service. The waitress was charming, unobtrusive but still helpful and proactive. We will definitely go back. We are quite hard to please, and MK hit the spot.More

The staff were welcoming and delightful from the moment we stepped inside the restaurant. This was a birthday celebration meal which was excellent and beautifully presented. The service was attentive, helpful and courteous. The restaurant from the outside is under-stated but it more than makes...up for it inside with the overall ambiance and standard of food. A most enjoyable and memorable meal.More

So delighted to have found this restaurant which from now on will be the go to place for family celebration meals. I went with my mother yesterday and immediately was made to feel like a valued customer. The informally elegant room is high ceilinged, attractive...and on a sunny May day the dappled light added to the theatre of a relaxed, Friday lunch. Where the restaurant really excelled though was a) the service and b) the food. Our waitress seemed to be the only person serving but every enquiry was perfectly timed, no long waits nor any rush to move us on, she was friendly, helpful and approachable. A true asset to Matthews. The food was almost faultless other than bizarrely just a little too much in terms of quantity but the flavour of every dish was incredible. The tomato salad, the bisque, the seabass all were the best I've ever tried. Don't hesitate to go if you like fish and even if you don't there are meat and vegetarian alternatives. Worth every penny.More
