    The waiter was rude and unhelpful. And the food was not good. Probably won't go back now. Had been there before twice and it was fine but this last experience left me with a negative view.

    Did the Sunday brunch and the food was amazing. Seated buffet style so you order what you want from the brunch menu and they bring you a hot, fresh dish. Was soooo good. Totally worth the $42 per person.

    Ahmed was fantastic. It was my mother’s and I first time there. She came to visit me so that was for Mother’s Day for us. I kinda do wish there was music in the background where you can hear it other than that it was excellent I’d rather hear music overshadowing everybody talking loud to each other.

    We came to match box on a Sunday so we had the unlimited brunch. When we first came in the male host didn’t acknowledge me or ask if I had a reservation. I walked up to him and told him I had a reservation and he said, I don’t have any tables. Didn’t know how to respond to that. I said ok, then walked over to sit down. It was a very awkward situation and not normal for a restaurant. We were then seated and the waiter was good. The food was just okay for brunch and maybe because it is unlimited they rush it. Normally the food is really good.

    Brunch is overpriced with no option to get a la carte items. Matchbox used to be very good but the food today was underwhelming. The old brunch menu was so much better - not sure why they changed it. Asked for a to go box for my 2 waffles I didn't eat and was told no to go boxes after I spent$40 for it. Ridiculous policy. I will not be back to this location.

    Delicious food, served promptly and very fresh! Absolutely fabulous experience and the value was incredible. Definitely recommend this unlimited brunch and look forward to visiting again on another special occasion. I would recommend early if you are early risers, it wasn't busy at 9:15am and was surprised with how quick they brought our dishes.

    Only complaint is a noise level so loud that it definitely would scare away some customers.

    Bottomless brunch was amazing! Our server Yvonne was equally pleasant and her service was impeccable. We tried just about everything and nothing was short of perfection. We’ll definitely return for dinner and we’ll make sure we get Yvonne again.
