We had a wonderful time at Martinson's Riverwalk Grille. The waitress was relatively new (one week), but very eager to please. This place is a hidden gem. I would recommend getting reservations as they fill up quickly and they do not rush you out the door. It was a very enjoyable experience by our party of four. The food was all delicious. The calamari was flash fried perfectly. The teriyaki shrimp was great. My friend had the market fish sandwich. All sauces are made in-house. The 3 Mattison restaurants are owned by the chef with his recipes. Awesome food, awesome business. I definitely recommend this location. I would suggest the new waitstaff try more menu items before waiting tables. I felt so bad because I had questions about the gumbo that she couldn't answer, and we had someone at our table with a shrimp allergy. The waitress said all the fried food was cooked in the same grease as the shrimp. 🤔😔 That includes the fries... Other than that, it was great and there were plenty of other options available. I still recommend this place, just make sure you check. The key lime pie was definitely tasty. I like the creative liberties they took to make it different. Some may not like the difference, but I think it works.

We have been here many times, and I realized I've never posted! My husband and I usually stop in once a month on either a Thursday or Friday night during happy hour. It is a very nice ambiance with outdoor, covered, and enclosed seating. They have a band that plays both nights. My go-to dinner is usually the Greek salad with lamb chops. We usually get the beef brisket appetizer as well. Tonight, we had the Balsamic glazed goat cheese brushetta. Really tasty. I also ordered the firecracker chicken sandwhich with sweet potato fries.....also yummy. My husband usually orders the fish tacos. Adam , the bartender, makes the best drinks. Prices are average. 9/6/21 We brought family today, and unfortunately, I had to take stars off from previous visits. Mattisons are usually consistent with food and service, but tonight was a different experience. The parking lot was full, but inside, there were maybe 5 or 6 tables with patrons and about a dozen around the bar. Needless to say, it was basically empty as pictures show. We ordered our drinks, and half the table received theirs while the waitress kept apologizing, saying the bar was backed up. Even the chocolate milk was not chocolatey. We put in an app....calamari. It arrived before the drinks that were missing. We had to ask for plates, and the plates that were brought to us were each wet. The waitress took them away and brought us new ones. She apologized. The calamari was not cooked and very chewy. 6 people ate half the order...1 order...... it was obviously rushed as we received it before the bar drinks. The waitress apologized and took it away. We put in our dinner orders and waited and waited and waited and waited, and the plates that came out were cold ( lamb way over cooked as well). I am all about businesses being short staffed and supporting local businesses, but as mentioned, this place was almost empty. 5 out of the 6 orders came out; the 6th was incorrect. The waitress apologized, and the correct meal ordered. Everyone finished their meal, and then another 25 minutes passed before that meal came out. The scallop dish also came out with 3 on the plate. It....legit 3 small scallops for a dish that cost over $20. Our bill came, and a charge for the dish that was never ordered was on it. When questioned, the waitress apologized. She also stated she normally adds on gratuity for tables with 4 or more people,but she wouldn't since our experience was not a good one. We were so excited to bring out of town guests here, and I rarely give negative feedback. 3/20/22 decided to go back and be highly disappointed in the food AGAIN. 😒 The bartenders are always fantastic and make delicious drinks. The place itself is nice, and the waitstaff is efficient. But, the food does not meet standards. The lamb on my salad again cold! Dry! And hard to eat. My husband's tacos were okay. The pizza bland.

it was a late toss up. there where a few upscale restaurants that where available Hyde, eddiev, e.t.c.... I traveled from lakeland and I knew I was running 10 minutes late. I called to let them know we would arrive 7 min after 8pm reservation. as expected we arrive at 807 and I believe that they officially closed at 8. it was a special occasion. there was a holiday menu that we partook from and by a special request from myself, the chef prepped a ribeye to his preparation liking. though it was late and we arrived after they closed, the staff welcomed us and our server Toni was excellent with a great attitude and professionalism. the menu was fabulous. the lobster was finished perfectly will a filet. the crab cake and Chesapeake oysters were delicious (considering I'm from Maryland). the entire experience was excellent and I would recommend for and special occasion or a nighly restaurant to frequent. the bar side seemed live and I will definitely be back soon!!

Lunch for 4. Hostess told us she had reservations at 6 pm and would 2 hours be enough time for us. We were then seated next to a large group. The restaurant was empty. Luckily the group was not loud. Our waiter arrived, never provided his name and took our drink order, got our drinks, and took our food order. He came back to refill 3 of our drinks. Never came back to refill the 4th drink. In fact we rarely saw the waiter again. Clam chowder was ordered and it took awhile to arrive; chowder was delicious. Crunchie fish was ordered by 3 people and it was good. I ordered the chicken cobb salad with blue cheese crumbles which were not on the salad when it arrived. Had to track waiter down to get the blue cheese. I could barely find the salad dressing on the salad. The apple slaw was ordered by 2 in our party and they couldn't find the apple in the slaw! The waiter smiled but was not very talkative. I was not very impressed with the waiter or the food.

First timers .....are giving a shout-out to Mattison's Restaurant!! The moment we arrived, we were immediately greeted by Eric. He showed us to a great table off by ourselves since we were celebrating. Eric was also our waiter for the evening! Before I get to the food, let me start by saying that having a great dining experience starts with your waiter/waitress. He was very helpful in describing what Mattison's is known for. Our choice in wine paired exceptionally well with the salmon dish we chose. The salmon was cooked to perfection and was delicious!! Eric checked on us several times during our meal, and he recommended an amazing dessert that was by far one of the best we've had in a long time. It paired well with Simi Pinot Noir. It was an excellent dining experience from the moment we walked in. Thanks, Eric, for treating us as if we were the only ones in the restaurant.
