The Tavern - Los Olivos

My son took me for a spa treatment and lunch at Mattei's for my birthday and it was absolutely perfect. All the staff we interacted with were top notch; every single one of them was friendly, approachable, polite, and accommodating. Our lunch was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. Our server Liliana (I think that was her name...sorry if not) was probably one of the friendliest and most efficient servers I have had in a long time. She was so enthusiastic and I loved the vibe she put out. I had my spa treatment with Kelsey and it was ahhhh-mayyy-zinggg. She is super kind and gentle and my skin is STILL glowing. The ambiance was serene and calming. The spa itself was beautiful. Thank you for such an amazing experience!

I will not return here. Manager on duty was extremely rude, unapologetic, apathetic, and should NOT be a manager at such an upscale restaurant for this area, or a manager in the restaurant business at all! There was a severe food allergy breached in a dish. No apology from server or manager. When asked how is the tip distributed as we only wanted to tip the bus boy and sommelier (the only ones that seemed to care at all), it was shared that it is split so just 'leave no tip '. I have never heard this been the case that a manager actually verbalizes to NOT TIP THEIR OWN STSAFF. If anything LIE so that your staff receives money in their pocket. The manager needs to be a server or hostess at best. Not worth being treated with such utter disregard, disrespect, and blatant attitude of I don 't give a shxx.

Jeremy our server was the best! Super beautiful space and vibe. Food was delicious as well! Had the squid ink rice and loved every bite! Made our day. Will definitely come back when we are in town! Thank you!

Went for brunch. Was wonderful. Service was attentive albeit a little confusing with so many people attending. Not a bad thing, but we were asked multiple times by several different people if we needed anything, after placing our orders. Food was delicious and the portions are large. They accommodated diet issues with no problem. Overall, we all were happy with the meal, the setting and the service. Definitely going back.

Excellent food. Excellent service. Thank you for a birthday dinner that I'll never forget!
