I had high hopes for Mateo, but I was sadly disappointed. First of all, we had an 8:15 reservation but were seated about 20 minutes late. We were seated at a dark table and not offered a candle until our meal was almost over. Once our waiter arrived, we were offered bread but the bread never made its way to our table. Our dishes of lamb and pork chop came quickly and were quite good, but I was given only a butter knife for my pork chop. We were brought dessert menus, but after waiting for 20 minutes for someone to take our orders we decided to simply ask for the check. The inexperienced staff and poor service really took away from the overall experience. In retrospect, we should have stuck with Upstairs at the Kitchen's tasting hour because this was pretty disappointing.
Pros: Good food
Cons: Poor service, inexperienced staff
