    We had not been to Matadora recently, and were very pleased we returned. The chef(s) are on top of their game. We ordered all tapas, and everything was superbly seasoned and cooked. The waitstaff seemed well trained, and everyone was helpful. We're looking forward to a return visit soon!

    I ordered the steak skewers with hummus and it was fantastic. Paired with a glass of wine and my meal was perfect. Pleasantly surprised as this is located in a hotel but would highly recommend.

    The food is excellent, but we waited longer than normal for food as they were short staffed. Would definitely go back again.

    Interesting menu. Not bad as a hotel restaurant but not really as exciting as the menu might suggest

    We had a nice lunch here last week. The restaurant is large and for a while we were the only customers there-nevertheless, we felt welcomed. The menu offers a huge assortment of choices -tapas. We each had two, All good. Service was great.

    We were disappointed, and thought the food wasn’t as good as in the past. The olives were nothing but green olives stuffed with pimentos. Pretty sure that in the past it was assorted Spanish olives, green and black. Mussels appetizer was good but temp wasn’t very hot. The paella Matadora came without any of the chicken or chorizo listed on the menu. When asked about it they brought a small dish with some chicken and chorizo. On the flip side, cocktails were good, and there is a nice selection of wines by the glass, not just the usual Chardonnay/Sauvignon Blanc/Cabernet/Pinor Noir..
