Mateo - Boulder

Shared a great burger and attempted to share a medium rare (actually extremely well done overcooked) steak.

Went in on a quiet Sunday. Our server, Lilly, was amazing.

Really disappointed in the service today. Sunday brunch. Few diners, but still took 30 minutes to get cocktails and another 45 minutes to get simple breakfast food. Unfortunate.

Wife and I went for brunch, we thought we were going for an upscale brunch but would have better to stay at home. completely dead inside (but blasting old school rap music) service was inattentive (asked for sparkling water and brought still, and no refills throughout the brunch). Food was somehow brunt but cold. Our recommendation is to go to brunch at the Kitchen for downtown boulder.

I was the highest bidder for a chef tasting/wine pairing dinner for 10 at Mateo with Mathew (the owner) at a live auction. After organizing with Corey, the chef, setting a date and confirming that morning, the chef tasting with Mathew didn’t happen. We had 10 guests coordinate baby sitters and get dressed up for the most disappointing dining experience. Mathew had tickets to the CU game with Corey so they bailed without talking to us. The poor staff scrambled to accommodate our party size by making the tiniest table seat 10 people by the bathrooms. Then it was like the kitchen ran out of food and every other person received a half portion to share. Dessert was every third. It was so embarrassing. It’s taken me a few weeks to write this after being so disappointed. I found out later, the benefit actually paid the restaurant for the auction item. I will never recommend Mateo or Raglin Market (their other restaurant) to anyone ever again.
