Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Rockford

Food was good. Service was very slow and it wasn’t particularly busy. Maybe understaffed? Either way, would still go back and try again. =)

We will miss you, Molly! Thank you for so many years of fine dining and service.

Loes was great, and the server recommended a Burbon, which was excellent. The food was very good; I had the Walleye, and my wife had the maui maui, which she enjoyed. Our original table was toward the rear of the dining room, and we asked if a table near the window was available, and they moved us. Excellent service.

We had the most wonderful time dining here, Belle was an exceptional server and was very attentive to our needs. She made it extra special for my niece and treated her to an extra chocolate. Highly recommend your request her!

Upon deciding to try a local establishment for dinner, Matchbox caught our eye. We knew parking would be an issue, especially in a densely populated neighborhood coupled with little to no parking availability near the restaurant. The walk about 1.5 blocks was invigorating and after our meal was a needed trek. The server was super friendly, but appeared to become totally overwhelmed with the amount of tables which quickly filled her station. Overall, our food was delicious. Simple but very tasty. Seating was an issue for us, as my partner was sticking out in the middle of the walkway in such a way that the distance from. the corner of the bar top and his chair only left wiggle room to pass, He felt 'inundated' with the traffic pattern. If anyone has sat in the first 3-seater row expanded from a 2 seater row on an airplane can attest to the inconvenience and interruptions that occur. Same with this particular table. It appeared to be that other tables were not affected. Would we return - probably - to see if things just might be a bit better.
