Reviews
It was just ok which was really disappointing since we were very excited to dine at Mateo.
Our server was new which is totally understandable.
We dined early and we’re there for the happy hour menu. We had the butter lettuce salad (regular menu) which was very good. The dressing was perfect.
We also had the steak frites and the moulles from the happy hour menu. The steak was tough and definitely not what I would expect from a Provençal bistro. The moulles were good. I’d eat those again.
We finished with the lemon tarte and the panne cotta both of which were average.
I was surprised by the number of Italian wines on the list since it’s a Provençal restaurant. There were no white or rose French options.
With all of the great restaurants on Pearl St we have lots of options which means each restaurant has to be top notch. This one didn’t perform .
Very nice food preparation and pleasant ambiance. Not too formal but with many good elements to enjoy the food. It is one of the casual mid-high end restaurant. Maybe not fancy but great place to go.
Thoroughly enjoyed everything about this establishment. So glad that my fiancé and I found this spot, not only is the atmosphere comforting but the staff was so kind, helpful and made us want to come back even before we had received our dishes. The food was delicious and prepared beautifully, will definitely be back in the times to come! Sadly it was a bit dark by the time we got the entrees so the photos aren't as clear but trust and believe, it was exquisite.
I’ve been here a few times and the food/cocktails/wine are excellent. The service has always been slow but it’s usually been worth it. Unfortunately I have to amend that because no matter how good the food is, if you don’t get utensils for 20 minutes after the food comes, or your cocktail order doesn’t come out for 40 minutes(and then is wrong) it doesn’t matter. I really hope service gets better and I can change this review.
A great find in Boulder. The food..service and friendly staff were all amazing. Please add this restaurant to your wish list...
Its so worth it
The mussels tasted fishy and bitter, and the risotto was undercooked. And in tiramisu, the water came out. What the hell is going on? Only the server was friendly. It was a restaurant I loved, but I don't think I'll go there anymore.
Boulder's multi decades of experience in fine dining !!
Charming location with outdoor seating right on Pearl Street.
There is plenty of street parking in front or half a block south on 19th.
This icon has had long-term management and a staff who clearly enjoys working at Mateo.
Delightful drink menu with unexpected selections.
Plan on ordering food again and again when you experience what they offer.
Highly recommend the Tomato Bisque, my favorite I've ever had.
My evening meal was poulet frites, chicken served with fondue and hand cut frites. If you are burned out on chicken, please consider this dish! Organic slow cooked pan seared, it is unforgettable.
Salad was delicate, absolutely fresh. Fries came out hot, this mael takes about 20 minutes.
Lemon tart to finish, went nicely with the last sip of the recommended white wine in photos.
A solid French bistro style restaurant. It's super busy so things can be a little chaotic in there. The food is delicious, the steak frites was delicious, they use a lot of pepper on the steak, which made a good crust .
The bread and cheese were decent, I wish there was a little more of each cheese but it was enough to get a few bites each.
The mussels were tender, delicate and full of flavor. For somewhere so far from the ocean I'm glad to see the they tasted fresh.
Whilst it's not kid friendly, I would not say it's unfriendly. I do not think there is a kids menu. So consider that if you are bringing kids.
I'd definitely go again.
