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.

Amazing food and drinks, and our server was lovely - friendly and attentive. The restaurant is small so I'd recommend making a reservation, but we'll definitely be back!

The host staff was excellent, both friendly and personable. The food was very good. We had to wait a little bit at first because it was busy but once waiter came, the food service was fast and steady. Would recommend.

Servers were very attentive. Menu was varied but not too large. The cauliflower appetizer, the brussels appetizer and the focaccia bread were wonderful! Noise level was perfect. There were 5 of us and we could hear each other without raising our voices. Hope to come back soon!
