    Great place and great food

    especially nice if it’s raining as the dogs are allowed in the covered area and it’s big enough for lots of guests.

    Dog friendly and good food

    The large covered outdoor patio was wonderful for Al fresco dining with our dog. He received a water bowl right away, and we were relaxed for our lunch. Great people watching spot too. $$

    Not really dog friendly

    We always double check when we arrive at a restaurant with outdoor seating to be sure that they are truly dog friendly. The staff member got a funny look on his face, as if I didn't belong, when I asked if our dog was welcome. Mattison's only allows dogs right next to the live band in a very small section of the outdoor area. Needless to say, we did not feel welcome and we decided not to give it a try.

    Don’t Waste Your Time

    Awful service, left us sitting after being seated for 15 minutes with zero service. When asked if we could get service the manager shrugged indifferently and said “Uh, yeah, I’ll see if I can find someone” then proceeded to ignore the request. Floor is dirty, environment is loud and obnoxious, and there’s nothing special about the food. Plenty of better dog friendly restaurants nearby on Main St. Not even worth the one bone...

    Worth trying

    We didn't get a very "dog friendly" vibe either and the ground WAS very dirty. However, the food was good and the goat cheese bruschetta was definitely worth the hype! Caprese salad was okay.

    they brought my puppy water in the top of a styrofoam container. The ground where we sat was not clean at all. Even though they allow you to bring dogs, we didn't really get the "dog friendly" vibe. The food was good.

    Found lots of stuff on the floor

    Must admit it was late when we got there. Music was a bit loud for my ears and my area (the floor) was not too clean.

    OK

    Food is OK. Dogs must be on ground only. Leave the toy dogs at home.
