“Way too salty”
2 of 5 stars

College Park, Georgia
Sep 22, 2008

Given the other reviews, I was quite disappointed. They have a problem with salty food. The appetizer, Pasta Puttanesca, was salty--and the portion was small. The Pork Chop would have been outstanding, but it too was way, way too salty. Great desserts--the Coconut Cream Pie and the Chocolate Semifreddo were outstanding. I'd go just for the desserts. In fact, I... more

I've been to Matyson three times over several years. The first two times were great -- I came on a weekday, got the tasting menu, and had a great experience. Last night I went on a Friday, and was very disappointed. The food was again great - I had the arugala salad, the bronzino with crab and artichoke risotto, and... more
