    I absolutely love Matadora. It is located inside The Hilton Hotel, but it felt like I was eating at a restaurant in Barcelona. The decor was gorgeous, and even the music playing was pleasant. The staff were attentive, and the service was quick. The restaurant was pretty busy, and still, our food arrived quite quickly. The food was absolutely delicious! Everything was perfectly seasoned and had a perfect presentation. I went for Valentine's Day and had a reservation. We were seated very quickly and even received chocolate covered strawberries at the end of our meal. I will definitely be back.

    While we were in the area we searched for restaurants close by to our hotel and found this place to have good reviews. The food was quick to come out, they were well presented and the cocktails were good. We tried a variety of tapas. Compared to other tapas places we have been to, we found the prices to be a bit higher. They have plenty of vegan options as. We found the hostess to be unfriendly. The server was very average. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. We opted to sit outside. We got there a bit early in the evening without any reservations. It seemed to get busier towards the evening so it might be best to make a reservation before going especially if you have a bigger group.

    This restaurant is in the Hilton Hotel.. it was an old she factory. Breakfast was expensive but outstanding. They had a good selection and buffet including cooked to order eggs and omelets. The food is just as good as pre-covid. This is the place to come for variety and service. Two people cost me $50 with the tip. I love the service and conversation either Bernise!

    We went there twice with different friends. Both of these two visits gave us great experience. The second time happened last night and the hotel’s fire alerts was on twice. I’m ok with it but am wondering how they would deal with this. We went there second time for the paella but unfortunately they didn’t serve this last night. But, we still quite enjoyed the food and drink then.

    Very impressive restaurant inside the hilton. This is a very unexpected 1st class place. I would not miss visiting this restaurant outside of staying at the hotel. Great food and service. These shrimps with safron were delicious.

    Had an amazing dinner here. Sat at the bar with Daniel and it was so pleasant. Daniel was super friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. We will absolutely be back and hope he is here! The veggie paella was so good. Great import wines on the by the glass list to pair with your plates. Absolutely loved our experience!

    Would NOT recommend! My family and I came from out of town to celebrate my husband’s birthday and figured on our last night staying at the Hilton we should try Matadora! WORSE DECISION EVER! Everything was SOOOOOO SALTY and just looked sloppy and thrown together. Couldnt even get through eating it because it was just not good at all!!! We ordered the hummas and pita chips but theres nothing PITA about it, more like tortilla chips soaked in salt. Dont even get me started on the tomatoes, melons with cheese smelled and looked like throw up 🤢🤢🤢. The menu was completely different from online compared to when we got down there to order that shouldve been the first red flag 🚩. Tried calling down there and the front desk to explain the situation but all lines were “busy” but it was empty when we were down there. Had to go out and eat elsewhere WASTE OF MONEY! Never ever again 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

    I was hesitant after reading some reviews but we went anyways. The place is quite nice,great live music, really nice ambiance, the food was great in flavor but a bit overpriced, as we went for tapas, the staff is extremely friendly and nice, but seemed overwhelmed and hard to get the attention. The evening was great anyways and decided that we will definitely come back soon.

    came here with friends for a birthday dinner. we had a good time. none of us had been there before.since the restaurant is tapas style and there were 5 of us, we basically ended up ordering more than half of the menu to be able to try different things. then reordered what we really liked. good was amazing, tasted great and beautifully presented. the ambiance of the restaurant was gorgeous, beautifully decorated but very calming. the architecture of the hotel was beautiful also. if I didn't know ahead of time, I wouldn't have felt as if it was a restaurant that was inside of a hotel. the only trouble we had was our server was very slow. she hardly came to our table all night. towards the end she had mentioned that she was new but she could have asked for help if needed. when we got there it was on a week day and it was slow. we were one of of about 6 tables. we were just confused as to why we had such poor service. at one point we were try to place in orders with yhe food runner. I would try this place again because the food ded was very good.

    Over all, typical hotel restaurant. Tries a bit to hard in the areas that don't matter. The food was over priced and mediocre. The staff was lovely though and pleasant. I should of chosen different tapas, rather than a $6 bowl of olives. The vibes was fine, it's more modern.

    Easily a 5 star spot this far north of the city. Really unique vibe, almost feels like an outdoor patio so we love going in the winter and feeling a little bit like we’re outside on a warm night. Food is not all hits, some of the dishes are just meh, but some of them are also awesome. Really loved the beet salad, patatas bravas of course, street corn, and the short rib was incredible. Lots of hits. The drinks were super good too. Overall a wonderful atmosphere and an underrated and unexpected gem!

    I dined at Matador on September 26, 2023, having a modified meat only paella as a main meal. The staff were attentive and helpful, and provided great customer service. The chicken and beef paella was traditional and delicious, coming in a proper cast iron dish. I would recommend and return for more.

    Had a good experience at Matadora. The drinks were great, I enjoyed the Matadora Old Fashioned and the tapas were great. We loved the street corn and the sacchetti and the lamb chops were cooked perfectly. The tuna tar tar didn’t sit well with me but otherwise it was a great experience. I would recommend for a date night to a night out with friends.

    Best food in town. Matadora is one of the best restaurant I’ve ever been to. You will not regret going there. We sat in front of the chef. He was extremely nice and food was amazing.

    My family and I came across Matadora by chance and didn’t have high expectations but it ended up becoming a favorite of ours! I love the shrimp toast and flaming chorizo, but everything we’ve gotten has been really really good. The staff is always super nice and it’s just a great place overall.

    Had a working weekend, was staying at the hotel and had stopped at another restaurant on the way in, and would of had an over an hour wait. I decided to take a chance at Matadora. I am am so happy we did. The server was knowledgeable and prompt, the food (Paella, I did not know I liked mussels till I tried them here) was delicious and was enough to share.

    Started the night with a cheese plate. Unfortunately all the meats were pork based (expected for a Spanish restaurant) so we had just cheese. They were a nice little treat! We tried the scallops, which were OK. Lamb chops, which were great. Mushroom and asparagus toast which felt like a brunch item, and our favorite which was the spicy patatas cake. Texture, taste, everything was on point with that plate. We were still hungry so we shared a paella! One of the better paellas I’ve tried. Rice texture was lovely, chicken and seafood didn’t leave any sort of smell. And everything was well seasoned. Service was fine, plates stacked up, and I wish they brought things out not all at once since we were doing tapas. It’s also in a hotel so the vibe is a little more casual then you would expect otherwise.

    I really like the ambience, service and food. The hotel is really nice so this is a great compliment. This may not be Spain but we have good food.

    My party of 3 had a pleasant experience at Matadora. For an appetizer we got the street corn and thought it was pretty good however we wish we had more of it. The portion was a little small for our liking. For dinner got the Matadora burger and Steak Fritas. Both were tasty and flavorful. Overall we thought Matadora was a nice place to eat dinner however if we were not staying at the hotel we would not have went out of our way to come here.
