Matu

"High quality restaurant in Beverly Hills that takes beef very seriously. Came here for dinner with my family prior to a show at the Geffen, and made a reservation online in advance. Indoor seating only. Credit cards accepted. My sister and I had the ribeye dinner for two (4 courses), while my mom opted for the filet dinner (3 courses), and my dad got the picanha dinner (4 courses). You can order a la carte if you wish as well. We got an order of the beef tallow fries and while they were good to munch on, I wish we had gotten the mushrooms instead. They bring out courses as they’re ready so if you order one less course than the rest of your party, note that you will end your meal earlier than others (unless they are willing to share!). You don’t need to choose how to cook your meat as the restaurant decides - rest assured you’re in good hands. The fazzoletti pasta from Uovo that came in my mom’s course was outstanding and we all really liked the Japanese Caesar that came in the ribeye dinner. Portions were on the smaller side but everything was very high quality and we left feeling satisfied. We got the flourless chocolate cake for dessert as our waiter mentioned that it was the most popular choice and it was indeed delectable. There garage parking across the street that’s free for the first 90 minutes. The vibes were dark and sophisticated, and a lot of people seemed to be celebrating a birthday during the time we were there. Overall, a really yummy spot for those who enjoy steak."

"Everything here is beyond and above!! Celebrated anniversary dinner with my girlfriend. We had a very pleasant moment. Their service is very satisfying and the staffs are very friendly, especially the manger, he took care of us during our dinner time. The taste of foods are excellent. Also they gave a delicious dessert for us. We spent $300 on dinner for two. It’s really worth it!"

"Was just in LA over new year and this was our favorite restaurant hands down. Ambiance was very lovely and the staff were all very friendly, sweet and knowledgeable. You can tell the owners take care of their staff! We had the 5 course Matu dinner, the 3oz center filet w/ 47 salad was my favorite, but everything was cooked to perfection, delicate and delicious. The braised beef cheek and puree was also a stand out. Outside of the 5 course we ordered beef croquets as a small side plate, they didn’t disappoint. Ended with the passionfruit panna cotta and flourless cake, both very light and not too heavy after dinner. Will definitely be back here next time I’m in town!"

"So this review is for the lunch service. First time here, and to be honest I came to try the instagram recommended matu philly cheese steak they are raving about. To my suprise there was wait list. A local recommended getting there at 1130am when they open to get a spot. I waited for about 20min before I was seated. I realized they only open thier bar section for lunch, which seats 15 people max, and thier only open from 1130am to 2pm. I ordered thier matu philly cheese steak, and thier chips. The food came out at a timely manner. The sandwich was pretty good. It had good flavor, you couldn't really see any cheese. It seemed to have melted into the meat. It has a huge slice of green bell pepper, because it didn't taste like a chili or jalapeno. That being said, the sandwich did have good flavor. It was greasy, and it came out super hot, fresh off the grill. Is it worth $25, I'll let you decide, but it's very different from a original philly cheese steak. The chips where house made chips. The menu states its made with wagu oil, but if you don't get it, your not missing out on anything. What i found odd throughout my dining experience was the bar staff. They seemed out of touch. Very robotic, not personable or very service minded. It's as if they where doing the job as if someone was keeping an eye on them. No conversation, no emotion, no personality. It may be a Beverly hills thing, but it seemed odd. Or it may be a time and seating limit thing, that they are just trying to get people in and out as fast as you can in 2hrs service. Also, they dont accept tips, that's because they already charge you 18% service fee, as they call it on your bill. Do with that information what you will. Either way, another instagram hype not worth the hype for me. But the sandwich is good, just not $25 good. You can get something comparable at other sandwich shops in LA for way cheaper, and your definitely not there for the service or atmosphere."

"Celebrated my anniversary with my boyfriend here, perfect spot to do it. It’s warm and inviting, cozy and dimly lit in a nice way. We got the shared course meal and it was delicious! Highly recommend, the piccante was excellent! We also got a side of the potatoes and that was tasty as well."
