    The biggest problem with this place is the reception; there's never anyone at the front desk to show you to your seat, and it takes a long time for someone to appear and do it. After someone finally appeared and I sat down, my daughter and I opted for: - Fig and prosciutto pizza $19.00, which was very tasty despite having almost no prosciutto in it. - Bistro burger $19.00, I don't know where that's a bistro because there's nothing special about that burger. Overall, very expensive for ordinary food. Our waitress was super nice and helpful. The atmosphere was pleasant but quite normal.

    Chicken + Waffles
    Alexina A.

    Matchbox at Sawgrass is a must visit! We did the unlimited brunch with unlimited drinks, and it was truly worth every dollar. The food was incredible, the steak and eggs were cooked to perfection, and the chicken and waffles were a standout. We started with the spinach dip, and the portions were seriously generous! The drinks were just as impressive..unlimited old fashioneds and strawberry lemon drops? Yes, please! The ambiance was very chill with great music! A special shoutout to our server, Jadee, who was absolutely amazing and had spot-on recommendations. We can't wait to come back for another unforgettable brunch!

    French toast and catfish and grits
    Ben J.

    The Food We didn't hold back on the menu, and honestly, everything hit the mark: * Breakfast Pizza: This was a standout. Perfectly thin, crispy crust topped with fluffy scrambled eggs, sausage, and fresh veggies. It's a great twist on a classic and very shareable. * Chicken and Waffles: The waffles were thick and airy with just the right amount of powdered sugar and butter. The chicken was crispy and seasoned well--definitely a soul-food win. * French Toast: If you have a sweet tooth, get this. It came topped with fresh berries and paired perfectly with their syrup. * Sides & Sips: The grits were creamy, and the cocktails I knocked about 6 old fashioned and the lemon drops were refreshing and well-made. The Vibe The outdoor seating area has a great atmosphere--lively but relaxed. It's an ideal spot for a "Sunday Funday" or a break from shopping. The service was attentive, and the food came out hot and fresh

    Alfredo Pasta

    The service was not good. We came in for lunch on a normal Tuesday, and there was no one at the front to seat us. There ended up being a line to be seated because no one was coming for at least 7 minutes. Finally, when we were seated, the girl had to rush to clean our table, and we didn't have cutlery for 30 minutes. Someone came to take our order quickly, but when we asked for lemon and ice with our waters, nothing. Had to wait for the other waitress to bring it again. Our main waitress was very nice and quick. I feel bad, it seems like they're understaffed or something. We ordered the lunch special, where it's a salad and sandwich or a salad and pasta. I ordered the apple and pear salad with the chicken sandwich (see pictures) everything was really good! The value was really good. The portion size was really good too! Left full, and my friend even had to take some home with her cause of how full she got. Overall, it was a good experience. The environment was cute, clean, very big, and red, but it was totally empty when we arrived. I would come back to try again; maybe it was just an off day.

    First i want to say the manager and our server was amazing. Eddie the manager and Julio our sever was nice listened and responded to critism. We started with cheese bread and it was ok. Then my drink was a cranberry sangría non alcoholic tasted like cranberry juice with a leaf it was supposed to have apple slices but that was missing. Then my fish and chips looked amazing but lakes flavor. I added salt and pepper to make it more flavorful. Despite that i live sitting outside and people watching and i will always come back to try more food on the menu

    Shrimp & Grits
    Marianne G.

    TLDR; don't eat here. Today I went with my coworkers to brunch to celebrate one of our coworkers' new baby. We were in great spirits and the energy was good while the dj was playing good music. We were catching up and vibing. I will start by saying while I loved being with my coworkers I would not return again. The server was new and nice. We all ordered drinks - espresso martinis, fire and ice mojito, aperol spritz, lemonade, cappuccino etc. The espresso martinis were watery coffee drinks missing baileys. The fire and ice mojito was so sweet and had no taste of rum. I asked for a regular mojito instead and still sweet but better. And the lemonade was forgotten until we reminded the server while we already had our food. We all ordered after drinks - salads, shrimp and grits, breakfast plate, and chicken and waffles. My chicken and waffles were okay the syrup came out cold and the butter was an interesting consistency... They messed up the salad orders. The shrimp and grits my friend got tasted like they forgot to put oil until the end. And my one coworker asked for no meat and they brought it out for her on the side. Overall, I was disappointed with the food and drinks. Based on this experience I would not recommend. And to Matchbox, please do better.

    Sunday Brunch: We were disappointed. We got seated about 12:40. After our first drinks came at about 1, we waited for our server and didn't order a second drink or food until 1:40. The drinks came out wrong. Each time we ordered drinks they were different! I don't know if I was drinking a mimosa or a martini. Most of the time, it tasted like a mimosa yet advertised as a lemon drop martini. We got 1 drink every hour with bottomless being $25 that's ridiculous and a waste especially if they actually enforced the 2 hour table limit. After being there over 3 hours we each only tried 2 things on the $49 "unlimited" menu. Moreover I am dissatisfied with how long everything took! We could not enjoy the menu, atmosphere, music nor drinks because we were hAngry. Everything you order (drinks and food) takes 1 hour to come out. The drinks were room temperature. The food was barely warm. The food did taste well. I just wish it was actually warm. The Buffalo wings were my favorite. We enjoyed catfish & grits, steak & eggs were good. The French toast toppings made it to tart. They have a great concept, but it doesn't seem thought through for the crowd. Not some place I'd like to recommend positively to others, hoping it improves over time.

    Stopped in last min Sunday midday to grab something quick after running errands all morning, and we had a great time! The music was amazing, the crowd was great and eveyone genuinely seemed to have been enjoying their brunch! We were seated right away, and we placed our orders for a few Bloody Mary's, and 2 meals. I opted for the shrimp and grits, which was delicious! Well cooked shrimp, not overdone or tough, and the grits were seasoned well with Cajun spices. We also ordered the beef sliders, with a side of biscuits. The 2 meals came out, and the biscuits arrived about 20 minutes after we placed our orders. Seemed so odd for a very simple menu item. By the time they came out, we were done with our meals and asked for a box to take them with us. The Bloody Beer was delicious (a version of their Bloody Mary), it was refreshing, and had a good tomato to beer ratio. I never knew that Matchbox offered a bunch option, but is wonder if you're visiting with some friends. For about $35 you get unlimited food for 2 hours, not including drinks (drinks have a different set pricing). I'll definitely be returning, mainly for the grits and some bloody Mary's!

    Walnut salad with pear and blue cheese.
    Mike G.

    This place is very nicely decorated, very convenient and located in the mall property. They have a room for events that is separate from the dining room and is really a very fancy and elegant spot to throw a gathering of 20-30 ppl. I recently attended a work event here and the food was top-notch. Service and ambience the same. Very well done. I had the ribeye which was extremely flavorful, and cooked perfectly, especially considering around 15 others ordered it in my group (of about 25). The mashed potatoes and asparagus were also 5/5! But the star of the show was very surprising. It was the pear and walnut salad! With blue cheese which I usually hate! WTH do they put in that dressing!? Either way it is paired so well and excellently balanced. This was a triangulation of everything hitting the spot and the night being memorable because of the place we chose to do the dinner event. And that deserves a 5/5 in my book. I'd def go back and get that same meal. Oh almost forgot! The cheesecake was also very tasty.

    Clean and unique interior with cartoon characters on the tables. Service was pretty quick and They offer Unlimited brunch on the weekends !! You can order 2-3 three items at a time from the menu and the breakfast burrito is self served. Food was pretty good, Definitely order the hot honey pizza!! Best thing on the menu. Unfortunately the chicken with my waffle was bland and cold

    Abigail P.

    I tried brunch at Matchbox twice and I loved it. Chris our server on my first visit was very friendly and helpful. It was a pleasure having him assist us with our orders. Everything that we ordered was delicious. I had the Waffles with bacon with a side of Fried Chicken strips. I also ordered the peach mimosa- that was delicious. I only needed one glass

    Dawn W.

    Stopped in for some post shopping bites and was pleasantly surprised by the happy hour menu. We took a seat outside to enjoy the weather and people watch. I didn't want to spoil my dinner so I had the wings and meatballs. Everything came out quickly which was great because I was famished! Lol. Our server was polite and efficient. And the food was pretty good. I'd definitely stop back in when in Sawgrass.

    Visited this restaurant for their happy hour specials at Sawgrass Mall. The food and drink options for happy hour were very affordable and tasty based on what we tried. We also enjoyed one of their craft beers and a guava margarita. Be aware that the happy hour specials are only valid for bar seating, if available. A great option in the mall for a quick bite and drink.

The fettuccine was delicious and very flavorful. We also got the rosemary focaccia which was great! The dough was soft and crisp and the parm cheese with the fresh rosemary was amazing. However my husband thought the pizza did not have enough taste - perhaps because the sauce to cheese Ratio was way off, with way too much crust, and the toppings were sparse for the cost. We would not get pizza from them again. Last night we ordered from them again and picked it up. My sister and I had the pumpkin ravioli with butter and cheese and sage and it was delicious! Very rich but an incredible flavor. We saved some for tomorrow! . My husband ordered the lasagna, which he said was good , but not great. We also got the rosemary bread again and it was just as delicious! We did order a side Caesar salad (small) and that was incredibly disappointing. The chopped lettuce was all brown and the hard ends of the romaine. ( see picture). Salad dressing was too harsh . I would not recommend it to anyone. I would have sent it back if we weee there, but it is still annoying to pay $ 6.90 to throw it away. So we will go back- there are several things we want to try- they do not do takeout for calamari or soups and we wanted to try those.

Inquiry for a second round of drinks never came so we finally flagged down our server to at least get some water. The place could use a refresh. The booths are a bit worn and the rest rooms could use some work.

    We had a lovely waitress who was patient with us. We didn't get an appetizer because we figured the…read moreportions would be large. And we were right! The bread was soft and pillowy, the entrees were delicious and very well presented, and the place was quiet, dim and intimate. Perfect for a date night if you're looking for one. I would absolutely return.

    Best Italian food I've had in South Florida!!…read more If you're looking for an excellent Italian meal, I highly recommend going to Vivace. We started with the complimentary rolls that were very nice and the butter served with them...YES!! My mom ordered the "Italian Chopped Salad" which I told her I didn't want any of... until I tried it. There were so many flavors, all delicious, and the serving was enough for 2-3 people. I highly recommend starting out with this salad (although it would be a bit much if you're dining solo). For my main dish, I went with the lasagna and my mom chose the Chickenn Romano (I think). My lasagna came out in a beautiful Staub rectangular dish and was absolutely delectable! I can not wait to go back and order this again. My mom's chicken dish was also very, very good! I ordered a side of Brussel sprouts that were cooked to perfection. We were both so happy with our choices. My mom and I enjoyed a chocolate martini as well. The ambiance is definitely a date night vibe, especially if you sit towards the back. The front is more of a sophisticated bar vibe. The service can be improved as it took a really long time for things to come out for our game but not the other table and the server seemed awkward with a few things. With practice they'll get better. It won't deter me from going back again as the food was excellent! Kudos to the chef! Parking lot in the front with free parking.
