Great space and amazing food. The chef was so nice and very grateful that we visited her restaurant. One of my favorites 2 and 5 read more

I was stoked to come here when I learned its ties to Itamae. It's the same quality of food, but a much larger space with a bar. The food was terrific. We ordered a few bites from the happy hour menu, and then we ordered grouper as an entree. My complaint is how long the grouper took. We waited for over an hour. At least it was good! I highly recommend going during happy hour and getting a couple pisco sours along with the cebichito. read more

Did the Michelin people get wasted the night before they graded all the restaurants in Miami. I've continued to be disappointed with almost everything in the guide. The Miami food scene has always left me wanting more, and this place is no different. One of the few cuisines I think Miami does really well is Peruvian. And when done well, Peruvian ranks up there as one of my favorites. Here the food is good, edible, average. I'll pay any price for amazing food, and price never dictates how good food is. However here, there is little to no value. The only dish we truly enjoyed was the milk bread with mussels, particularly the milk bread. And if they make that in house, I tip my hat. Most everything else was dominated by an overly bitter lime flavor. Way too much acidity in the dishes was a common theme. Limes in Peru are less bitter and a bit sweeter, and though not a huge fan of adding sugar to dishes, here it could have really toned down the lime and let some of the other flavors come through. The pork chop at $50+ is a joke and lacked much flavor for being what we thought would have been a pork version of anticuchos. It was well cooked and juicy though. The beat salad was another dish that was entirely too small, there might be one tiny beat shaved thin in there. The scallops, squid/octopus (with a near frozen avocado?? WEIRD) and oysters(pretty to look at) were easily forgotten and were the main culprits in the way too much lime and salt category. The drinks were tasty and the service was friendly and attentive. Decor leans to ikea dorm room setup on a large scale. I'll give 3 stars overall, but I'd have a hard time recommending or returning for 5 small dishes and 2 drinks running $270 after tax and tip. read more

The restaurant is beautiful and well kept and the staff I super knowledgeable and passionate about the menu. I trusted my server to give me sound advice and she did. The quality of the food is high and the fish they serve is super fresh. Plus they make everything in house. We had the corn fritters that were quite good, a substitute for bread to dip in sauces throughout the meal. The ceviche tradicional was good and the choclo was cheesy and resembled a Peruvian cousin of Mac and cheese. The lamb shank was tasty and I particularly liked the sauce. For the price I don't think that the experience is worth it. We noted on Resy that we were celebrating an anniversary and nobody said anything nor asked if they could make the moment special. At a more modest restaurant it would be totally ok, here I think it's a flag in the service for the price we paid. Overall a pleasant experience but I have other favorites to hit multiple time so I won't be back there for a while. read more

Let's start with the restaurant, it is very clean and modern, with high ceiling with sort of a loft look, the problem is the acoustic, we dined there yesterday, I know it was a Saturday but we had an early reservation, at 7 pm, after a while, it was impossible to talk as it got too loud, at the end we asked to move outside so that we could have a proper conversation. The concept is to share food which I really like, the only thing I did not like is that they ask you to order the whole meal, normally when you share food you don't know how much you get so you might want to order a few dishes and then add on, the fact that the waiter pushed to order was not great, I know they do this to turn the tables faster, still, I would like to order as I wish. Here are the appetizers we have tried and I really liked all of these : CHOCLO, ATUN, CEBICHE MIXTO, TOTITAS DE MAIZ and BETARRAGAS. Then we had the main dishes and I have to say these disappointed me, these were OK but .........nothing special : ARROZ CON PATO and CORDERO, and last we had PICARONES for dessert, these were good. I am glad I went but I am not sure it will be a place where I would go back again, unless they did something about the noise control and also I would have liked to see more dishes on the menu as not too many choices @matysmiami read more

Came here for happy hour without realizing that the only food option on happy hour is oysters. The oysters are amazing and come with a delicious fruity-citrusy sauce. Also had to do the dorade, milanesa and elote sancocho. Drinks are great- I'm a big fan of the pisco sour but also recommend the guava cocktail, which was a delight. Although the service was slow, everyone was very kind and welcoming. The place itself is beautifully decorated with a lot of natural light and a clean, pretty ambiance. Absolutely would come back and will make sure I'm ready to splurge because, although worth it, it adds up quickly! read more

Came to Maty's after visiting the sister restaurant Itame and having an amazing experience. As you walk in the doors the resturant has a modern vibe to it and its buzzing for a 8pm reservation. Our table wasn't ready just yet, so they had us wait at the bar. The drinks were great and the bartenders really knew their craft. With Miami spice going on, ended up sticking to the menu and exploring a lot of their heavy hitters. The choclo was a standout from the moment I started eating it it. The oxtials were worth every bit of the upcharge and will make me come back for it! The servers acted like a team, I never felt un attended to and everyone provided great service. Great food and great service! read more

It would be a 5 but my first two visits were drastically better than my third, today. Ceviche mixto was a highlight of the menu and should be brought back. Also, the oxtail was overly salted and presented in a le cruset pan with a dramatic lid removal at the table when it was obviously not prepared in that pan. Felt gimmicky. Service is always great and the martini súcio is my favorite in town. The tuna tiradito and choclo are a must try. read more

Tried Maty's and was very happy with the food and service. The corn, cabbage, whole fish, and chicken Milanese were the best parts of the meal. They had great flavor and were cooked perfectly. The vibe of the restaurant is great for a low key birthday party or hosting parents in town. read more

Pictures do not do this place justice. Arguable one of the best fish in Miami. The service is great and hands on. Everyone is very helpful and I was informed that the au poivre did have oyster sauce, so I made sure to stay away. Ambaince is nice and dimly lit... only down side is it's a bit loud, since it's crowded. read more

I'll start off with the positives. The space and a couple of the starters (oysters/corn) were fine even though they brought out and charged us for four oysters when we ordered two. To use another reviewer's description, which I think is appropriate, everything else felt like "thievery". I'm not overly price conscious but I feel swindled. The run of the mill calamari, which tasted like it was sitting around for a while, was embarrassingly tiny, like half an app portion and $32. The chicken Milanese was beyond pedestrian in taste, size and aesthetic but $42. The Dorade simply a butterflied fish for $72. I couldn't imagine what people who ordered the $108 ox tail would be thinking. With a lot of the good press they've been getting, I assumed it would be at least a mediocre meal but I left having one of my worst meals in recent memory for an asinine price. Steer clear. read more

We arrived for our reservation about (5) minutes early and were seated at our table without delay. As this was our first time here, we were nicely impressed with the ambiance of the restaurant. It had a modern, contemporary, clean aesthetic with warm lighting and a gentle vibe. Once seated we were greeted by our server and offered water and ordered a few cocktails. Around the time that we received our cocktails we ordered our food. Because the menu was very manageable, we had decided to order the menu. Meaning we were ordering nearly everything that was on the menu. We were informed that one of the selections was not available and another one (I think it was a tortitas starter dish) we didn't want. Everything else was ordered. The first dish we were presented was raw oysters with a very nice tasty sauce, which was nicely plated. Next up, an utterly delicious scallop ceviche with a green grape garnish and a flavorful sauce with a taste of smoky serrano with cilantro oil. So far everything was nicely plated and served in a very nicely timed way. Not to quickly, not to slow....just right! Next we were served their tasty version of beef tartare. Wow, such a decadent flavor of aji panka, raisins with egg yolk jam along with a crispy seeded toasted cracker. Nice touch! Not to be out shined, we were served a beautifully dressed mixed ceviche of grouper, surf clam, octopus and shrimp. Everything was so fresh and was in a wonderful richly flavored sauce with plump white corn kernels. Delicately roasted red beets in a sweet sauce garnished with monkey flowers. Such a lovely dish and so wonderful on the palate! Not quite done yet! Next, we were served a green pea risotto dish with various tasty morsels! Not to be forgotten, a delicious dish of charred corn in a parmesan sweet corn huancaina sauce (my favorite dish!). A beautifully roasted whole dorade fish, was our next dish. It was fabulously laid on a beurre blanc and chives sauce......what a delicious dish! Cooked perfectly! Now, next to be served, a stuffed chicken milanesa with pesto and parmesan alongside a grilled scallion. Very nice! Our last dish, a delicious clam on toasted bread, soaking in a splendid sauce, so rich and creamy. All garnished so artistically with chives, sweet onions and cilantro. What a treat of flavors! We had one more small plate for dessert of what I would call a sweet potato fritter with a maple syrup glaze and some coffee. A truly wonderful meal in a beautiful setting with friendly attentive service. I would highly recommend this place for anyone who loves to try new flavors and appreciates delicious foods. read more

Tried Maty's brunch after seeing them featured on Bon Appetit on Youtube. We were super excited but unfortunately, felt a bit unsatisfied. Every dish had intense flavors but was extremely salty. However, I was a huge fan of the scallop cebiche, the variety of ingredients created a flavor that was surprisingly so addictive and yummy. I do want to come back for dinner another time. read more

I've been dying to try this place from all the positive I've read recently. I wanted to love it and ended up "liking" some of the plates, but ultimately not worth the price tag. We were seated right away and service was quick and attentive, A+ The first two plates we ordered were the ceviche and the tuna, both were overwhelmingly acidic and salty, to the point where it seemed like a mistake was made that day in the kitchen, someone got too excited with the salt flakes. Then came the octopus, we are both cephalopod enthusiasts , so we couldn't wait to try it. Disappointed doesn't quite capture the emotion, because we got 4 small pieces of cuttlefish deep fried and breaded, and what must have been octopus flakes, because it was non existent. The cuttlefish was essentially fried calamari. Nothing special there. Then we got the Cauliflower, it was undercooked (hard) but the taste was great, again I'm waiting to get my socks blown off, nothing yet. We ordered the Dorade fish to share and finally the beets arrived. The beets were great, but this is not winning that top chef challenge. Now the fish was a really nice dish, skin was over salted but I expected that, the sauce was delicious. I would have walked out satisfied after that fish dish, but then we got the bill. Listen, when I go eat I'll pay anything for a good a meal and I have. Since we were not paying attention to the prices when we ordered, we were taken back by the bill, we had no drinks, no dessert, and shared a meal. Boys and girls, that fish alone was $98, he must have flown first class from the Indian Ocean, Oh and $38 for the fried calamari. That was enough motivation to pen this review, in hopes that a) those issues are addressed, every kitchen has a bad day, and b) it might inspire others to visit the restaurant and form their own opinions. Prove me wrong. read more

The restaurant is extremely expensive for the amount of food you get. Everything we ate was overly salted and acidic. The seating is uncomfortable. Service took forever.

The food here is absolutely delicious! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Hands down, some of the best food I've had recently. They use the freshest ingredients and make sure each dish is done the right way. If you're a foodie like me, you'll love this place! The menu has a fantastic selection of dishes, and we loved everything we tried. (The entire menu ) We only had good comments about the food. I can't wait to come back again!"

I've hear such amazing things about Maty's, and unfortunately my experience was quite disappointing. Overpriced for the quality received, chicken was cold and the corn was probably the best thing on the menu. I don't usually complain about over service but my partner and I felt the service did not compliment the experience. I don't want to put the servers name on blast but he was coming to our table way too often, something about it just did not feel genuine -- as a server i understand that when it's a slower night you may have less tables to attend to, but we found his flow of service quite disruptive... We also felt pressured to order items. Again, very overpriced and can find better food elsewhere for cheaper. Tip: Gratuity is already included on the bill. read more

Food was extremely overpriced for the quality. Service seemed unhappy & unmotivated to be there. Our server also got our order wrong and when I made him aware he did not take accountability and blamed it on me (??!!) as if I didn't know what I ordered & he could just magically remember without writing it down. I would expect him to have taken the wrong plate and given us what I ordered but instead he just walked away in a very rude manner. We ended up spending around $200 for 2 people which is fine if the experience would be worth it...it just really wasn't. Rap music was also extremely loud & didn't fit the vibe. read more

8.8/10 Dined on 3/10/24 Brought to Midtown Miami by the same team behind Itamae (8.3), Maty's serves Peruvian cuisine executed to perfection. It seems like the team took the best elements of Itamae (the awesome food) and upped the stakes with a sleek dining room and fantastic service. Its recently awarded Michelin star is absolutely deserved. We were blown away by the flavor combinations and attention to detail - every dish was unique and well-executed. From the several apps we sampled all the way to the dessert there wasn't one weak link. Overall, strongly recommend. See our full review on Instagram @twogaysthreetakes ______________________________ Tortitas seasonal pickles, hot sauce Oysters ajì amarillo leche de tigre, huacatay Kanpachi ajì dulce, lemon, ajì chararapita Scallop Cebiche grapes, burnt serrano, cilantro Charred Corn choclo, parmesan, sweet corn huancaìna Chicken Milanesa ethiopian kale, pesto, parmesan Picarones squash + sweet potato donut, fig + orange syrup ______________________________ Simply put, our meal at Maty's was extraordinary. Every dish that hit the table was perfection. The tortitas (corn fritters) were crisp and flavorful on their own, but taken to the next level paired with house made radish pickles and hot sauce. Every bite of fish was clean and fresh with aggressively seasoned sauces that did not shy away from heat or acid. The sauce on the scallop cebiche was particularly interesting featuring caviar-like pops that turned out to be finger lime. For a side dish, the corn was outstanding; dime-sized kernels were charred and bathed in a creamy queso fresco sauce (elevated mac n cheese vibes). The chicken milanesa was crisp, juicy, and served atop a bed of kale pesto that was absolutely incredible. Even the dessert was interesting; the squash and sweet potato donuts were a textural delight - I just wish there was a little ice cream or whipped cream on the plate. All in all, a tip top meal. - TWP ______________________________ Maty's successfully pushed boundaries, while leaving little to complain about -- a combination that is going to land you high up our rank list. It had a clean interior and sharp, attentive service. But the real highlight was the food. The kanpachi and scallop cebiche were acidic and flavorful with super fresh ingredients. The tortitas and chicken were well-seasoned, had solid flavor combinations, and perfect texture. The tortitas coming with a homemade hot sauce and picked raddishes, both of which were exceptional, really highlights Maty's care and attention to detail. I'm not sure I loved the corn as much as TWP did -- it's a weird center piece in a dish for me -- but it was undeniably creative and had great flavor. -JB read more

Heard a lot of good things about this place, was dying to try. We got a few apps but the best one in my opinion was the ceviche mixto. Both the entrees we got were incredible (chicken and oxtail).

We enjoyed Maty's tonight as our first meal in Miami. What a treat! The focus here is Peruvian cuisine. We had delicious oysters, fully cooked shrimp, a variety of crudos and some excellent vegetable dishes. We also finished with the amazing sweet potato donuts! The wine list was excellent and the service impeccable. One of the things I most loved was that the food is elevated but the ambiance casual. I highly recommend! read more

We have tried 4-5 different dishes and all of them were really good. My favorites were the ceviches, their sour sauce was out of this world.

Amazing if you only ate with your eyes. The ceviche was presented beautifully but to heavy handed with citrus and spices. Shame to ruin all that glorious seafood. The fried snapper was also beautifully presented bit overcooked (dried out) and unremarkable. Cruel death for that snapper. It should melt in your mouth. The corn side dish was delicious and the cauliflower also a hard pass. What a shame that the food looked better than it tasted. The service was reasonable ok for Miami. Would not go back there's no value our tab was $274 for two people. read more

I passed by this new place couple times and always wanted to try it. Finally I went there but NEVER again! I went with a friend and we ordered an appetizer and two main dishes. The appetizer never arrived and we asked them to cancel it. For the main, we ordered the chicken Milanesa and the calamari. The calamari was good but it was the size of an appetizer but for $38!! The chicken was alright. It was big but who wants to pay $42 for a chicken with pesto sauce! They definitely need to cut the prices by min 30-40% if they want to stay in business. read more

Tuna melted in your mouth, Beets were unreal, corn was another amazing appetizer. Chicken and risotto fresh, clean, delicious. Lomo saltado which happens to be a personal favorite dish was also great. Donut to end it was nice. All the dishes are to share so you get a little bit of everything. I wish i got to try a drink but I just came off a 5 day drinking bender for my birthday, no shot I was going to even look at alcohol. Sharing this with four people was the perfect amount. I like to eat a lot and I would say it's rare to eat out and not feel over bloated and gross however after finishing I feel amazing. Perfectly full, perfectly satisfied and it goes to show all the ingredients and meals felt natural and clean. The service was good, they were nice. Classy restaurant and it is more of a family vibe not like a romantic vibe or anything like that. However the food is so good I would defiantly still go on a date here. RANK: 1 Ranking system is simple. 0 : Garbage would never go back SOFT 1: I would go again but average 1 : Elite / Highly recommend read more

The restaurant is beautiful and has a nice vibe with Latin music playing. Our server Chris was great and very friendly. We ordered 5 dishes: 1) traditional ceviche - fair 2) beet salad - very good 3) choclo with huancaina sauce - sauce too thick and corn was tasteless 4) fish - very good but please tone down the salt 5) rice and beans- rice had peas and corn which I feel weren't needed when you're pairing it with beans; too much corn in everything. The beans were tasteless and definitely not worth $11. 6) pisco sour - very good read more
