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.

Great experience! I feared that our party of 6 with 3 kids would not fit in, but the place was great. Nice menu with a good mix of options, great kids menu, and we all really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. There was a mix of families and adults meeting up with friends. The staff was very helpful. Now that we’ve finally tried the Grove, I know we’ll be back soon.

I was very disappointed that there were no tlayudas available. That was the main reason we came. Additionally, the molcajete is a much smaller portion now, with hardly any cheese, and the bowl wobbled terribly which made it difficult to eat. Not sure I will return with so many other options to choose from.
