Sorry to be the jerk in this thread, we stopped by and the seats/stools were so hard and uncomfortable, we left. No cushions, no backs, it was like a frat house..

Had to post. Went there 2 weeks ago before a show at Monty hall. One of the best meals I had downtown in a long time. Def recommend it over some of the other new places popping up everywhere around grove.

Hubby and I went for the first time last week. One of the best Manhattan cocktails ever. We shared three starter plates. A great meal. We'll be back soon

Went there for the first time last week for lunch. Food was amazing, drinks were even better. Would definitely recommend this place and looking forward to trying out their dinner menu soon, good amount of Vegan options too.

There is a reason why statistics are so derided in so many sayings... they can be manipulated to try and illustrate a point. Of course, if we were talking about a difference in bills between $100 and $140, then yeah, that is a big difference and the comment about 40% would make sense.

Did I say anywhere that $14 or $140 is a lot to me? Again you are going off on tangents, this guy asked if their prices were reasonable, I only stated they are one of the more expensive restaurants.

This is fact, no matter how you try to spin it. It is not a reflection of me nor my spending habits. I happen to like eating at nice places, I'd pay $16 for a burger there.

Cool, dude. You are seriously getting way too worked up over nothing.

To the OP: a visit to Matthews will likely not disappoint. Definitely check it out.

As for TonyTwoPoops, and Bill: we can meet at Matthews one of these days and I will buy each of you a (goodwill) beer. Maybe we can change the ongoing dynamic and impressions by engaging civilly in real life.

Ultimately, the point (which others in this thread back up) is that the place is not any more expensive that most other places in the neighborhood. Particularly given the quality of what you get in food and ambiance and overall experience.

As for the price of burgers, I think any decent burger (accompanied with fries) at a sit down restaurant in DTJC will set you back at least $10 - $15. That's just the going price point.

Wow, you confuse me. Sometimes you come across as intelligent, other times like this, it's like you're reading only what you want to think you read.

What's the difference between more expensive and most? I need to explain that? And then you qualify your argument with adding ambiance and overall experience?

After I show you that $14 is kinda expensive for a burger, you try to group that $14 with the $10 burgers which is 40% more?!?

The guy only asked if the food prices were reasonable. This is a guy who was looking for a 2BR < $1600

Give up man.

Look up what a mansplainer is- I bet anything that Bodipooh is a dude simply going by the bizarre need to give lengthy condescending opinions for every inane question someone asks on this board.

Yup... that's me. You are definitely not the first person to think of me as condescending, or an asshole. It happens. I think I can live with that.

Not for nothing but "this is a guy who" FOUND a 2BR < $1600, so there we have it.

I'd say you need to get out more... Lots of expensive places in JC, and particularly in DTJC. In terms of prices, this place is more or less the same as every other new place that has opened in recent years.

Off the top of my head, I would put Porto Leggero, Liberty Prime Steakhouse and Edward's Steakhouse as the most expensive in DTJC, followed by Batello on the Newport waterfront, and Maritime Parc and Liberty House in LSP. After those, I think The Archer is next in terms of higher prices. Then it is the rest of places into which Matthews fits in terms of prices. For reference, my burger was about $14, and I think the pasta (bucatini with rock shrimp) was about $18, with the lamb dish being the most expensive (I think) at about $25.

Most expensive place in JC (for food only) is actually outside of DTJC: 15 Fox Place.

Great. I'd never consider a $14 burger pricey, so sounds good to me!

I don't get it. If his name is Mateusz, why is it named Mathew's? Did he think the global melting pot that is JCList would not be comfortable with such an ethnic name? How could that be?

Or is he taking his cues from the current political scene, and he realized if he started #namergate, he could get all the free publicity he wants from the ensuing JCList controversy?

I say we come together in the way only JCList can and give this guy what he deserves....a 30 post thread arguing about the proper way to name something!

No, it's not spelled Matthew's. You are 100% correct about that.

I'd say you need to learn to comprehend your reading more.

I said, one of the more expensive, not one of the most expensive. It seems silly to compare steakhouses and seafood restaurants to a neighborhood location. However I'll indulge you with the burger. Mathew's is one of the more expensive at $14 dollar burger. I had the burgers at Maritime Parc & Batello, guess how much they cost?

Is 15 fox place still around? How would you rate it against Laicos?

I'd say you need to get out more... Lots of expensive places in JC, and particularly in DTJC. In terms of prices, this place is more or less the same as every other new place that has opened in recent years.

Off the top of my head, I would put Porto Leggero, Liberty Prime Steakhouse and Edward's Steakhouse as the most expensive in DTJC, followed by Batello on the Newport waterfront, and Maritime Parc and Liberty House in LSP. After those, I think The Archer is next in terms of higher prices. Then it is the rest of places into which Matthews fits in terms of prices. For reference, my burger was about $14, and I think the pasta (bucatini with rock shrimp) was about $18, with the lamb dish being the most expensive (I think) at about $25.

Most expensive place in JC (for food only) is actually outside of DTJC: 15 Fox Place.
