Food was great. Sat without service for over 50 minutes after ordering food, and it was just us and one other party in the restaurant for most of the meal. Went in a few times to ask for water and another coffee and to ask about ETA for the food. Came out about 15-20 minutes after the last time we asked.

I can't say enough good things about Matter in Bay Ridge! The atmosphere is super cozy and modern, and the staff is always so friendly and welcoming.

Overall, if you're looking for a spot with great drinks, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere, Matter is definitely worth checking out. You...
