   Decent restaurant with good service. Tapas are extremely small and overpriced. $22 for a small piece of octopus and $13 for the street corn (which was 1 ear of corn split in half). Steak was good however, sides are extra. $11 for asparagus (5). NY Strip close to double what it is at a lot of restaurants ($44). Put us at a table in the back corner by big windows, which made it cold and a speaker with loud music on directly overhead. Good to try but can find better places for $200 (for 2 meals, 2 tapas, 1 sangria, 1 desert and a diet pepsi).

   Food and service were great. The only issue was all the screaming coming from the indoor pool that is right by the restaurant.

   Good food, but no soul to the place; not even music in the background. At least the poor bartender/waiter running all over was very professional and welcoming.

   The ambiance was impressive considering you are walking into a hotel setting. Our waitress was very attentive and the noise level allowed us to converse easily the whole night. The food presentation was creative and it was flavorful: vegetable paella, beet salad, mushroom and asparagus , steak frites, octopus, potatoes with chipotle aioli, mashed garlic potatoes, salad…and churros for dessert. A complementary red velvet piece of birthday cake arrived at the end (reserve open table include event reason) desserts were delicious! There were so many tapas plates to choose from! Meal for 4 about $200 without alcohol. I enjoyed it enough as an experience I would go back!

   The food has deliciously improved since my last visit. I also found the portions to be generous, although a little pricey for tapas. We sat at the bar and I like that the bar is wide so lots of room and a great ambiance. We found the service to be a tad slow but all the food came out quickly and hot. Will definitely return.

   I had the pleasure of dining at Matadora recently, and it was an unforgettable experience! Our waitress was absolutely phenomenal—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely delightful. Her impeccable service elevated our meal to another level. We ordered the steak, mashed potatoes, and spinach, and every bite was perfection. The steak was, without question, one of the best I’ve had in a long time—perfectly cooked, seasoned to perfection, and incredibly tender. The manager was very polite! This place is the perfect example of how a restaurant should treat their patrons. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience!

    Matadora has never disappointed us. We love the tapas, the old favorites, and the new additions to the menu. Friendly and attentive server.
