An Iberian take on the classic American all-day restaurant, Spanish Diner features larger portions of Spanish favorites from the mind of award-winning chef José Andrés. Dishes like gambas al ajillo, croquetas de pollo, gazpacho, and patatas bravas are all on the menu, along with a focus on regional specialties like fabada asturiana and cocido madrileño. Egg dishes are a specialty with classics like the iconic tortilla española, huevos estrellados, and huevos revueltos. The menu at Spanish Diner is quintessentially Spanish, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find these dishes at any restaurant in Spain as these are the recipes that are found at home, shared around the kitchen table with family and friends, generation after generation.

We’re known for wood-fired pizzas, mini burgers, fresh salads and chef-inspired entrées, like pan-seared sea bass and oven-roasted filet mignon. It’s American bistro fare, crafted from high quality ingredients with a chef at the helm in every kitchen.Matchbox draws in passersby with oversized windows lining the sidewalk and a front-row view of the blazing pizza oven. Once indoors, the vibe remains warm and residential, as though guests are being welcomed into the Matchbox home. The design achieves this effect through elements like draperies to soften some of the more industrial edges and add texture, open shelving and wine displays, light gray wood wainscotting, and hardwood flooring throughout to lend natural warmth. Hand-painted murals from local artists add further context to the neighborhood, and bring in a touch of personality as well.Outdoor seating on patios along both Woodmont Avenue and Elm Street offer plentiful people-watching in warmer months.

    We have dined here before and have enjoyed our experience. The wait staff is polite and knowledgeable. We had a late brunch reservation and we experienced many if the staff as the restaurant was between brunch and dinner. I enjoyed the stuffies for the first time and would order again. My husband always orders the clam chowder. We also had the fish sandwich and the crab roll, also very good. We were given an Apple Brown Betty for dessert. I wasn't hungry, but we ate all of it and would have it again. Apples were cooked perfectly and the ice cream very rich The banquet seats are very comfortable and would ask to be seated there . Very relaxing place to meet friends and dine

    Went here for Valentine’s and had a great time. Of course the place was busy, but we were seated and served promptly. The food was delicious, the service was very good given how busy they were, and the staff couldn’t have been more polite and professional. This was a first visit and we both decided we’d have to come back.
