"Thanks Alex!! He was our awesome and accomadating server!! We were celebrating and cheering our friend who was scheduled to have her ACL surgery. Our group grew larger than our orginal reservation but Alex didn't bat an eye and moved us to a booth when it became available. The food was great and I can't wait to eat there again.
Thank you,
Savoeunn"

"Enjoyed our brunch there recently. Highlights were the Huevos Rancheros, Banana French Toast and the Vegetable Fratata. Pretty good "Fire" Bloody Mary, too. Liked the casual atmosphere and service was great via Camise."

"Was looking for a dinner place with two Tweens after sightseeing All day. Unique pizza choices for adults, plain cheese for kids. Choices of wines good, some served as half bottles which was perfect for us. Recommend reservations in advance as very popular place. Decor designed to catch young working professionals but still great for families"

"Matchbox is one of my favorite places in the city. The pizza is excellent but I have also tried several other things on the menu, including brunch items and I have never been disappointed. My parents were in town this weekend which is why we visited this time, it was a perfect outing!"

"It was our first time dining at MatchBox and overall it was wonderful and we'll definitely be back. When the table next to us sat down and included multiple children, we appropriately changed our conversation, which would not have been necessary had our tables not been on top of each other."

"This was the first time that we had brunch at Matchbox. We usually go for dinner for their great pizzas. We were pleasantly surprised by the variety of brunch drinks and the breakfast options. We started our meal with the cast-iron cinnamon rolls - a must try. Our servers were pleasant and very accommodating. Great place for a weekend brunch."

"The best food and the best service! I dined at two Matchbox locations this visit and was not disappointed at either. The prosciutto/mission fig pizza is the best!"

"I love this Matchbox! It's never too crowded. The waiters are very friendly. The food never disappoints and the Pear drink that I had was amazingly delicious. I highly recommmend the Matchbox on Capitol Hill."

"Had a fabulous casual dinner. The butternut squash ravioli was excellent and the pizza with figs and prosciutto was superb. Would have both items again."

"Took my family of 5 here after a long day touring DC. The food was delicious -- you have to try the coffee/donut dessert, and the fig/pancetta/gorgonzola pizza -- but the service was really the best part. The waiter brought our 3 kids raw pizza dough to play with while we waited! Would definitely recommend this place."

"This place was great. Caught up with a friend, so it was not too too loud, and his 11 year old son enjoyed it too. Great meal for three of us, bottle of wine, coffee and a desert, and it was under $100 before tip. It was very, very good."

"I've been a long time patron of their Chinatown location so I thought I'd try this location. So so so happy they are on open table now. Waiting for hours used to get old. Most of the menu is the same with a few twists to make this location unique. Of course the mini burgers can't be beat and are a must as well as the fruit pizza. Yum. Something new that is also amazing is the potato and shrimp pizza. A masterpiece."

"Matchbox was on capitol hill was great. Our server was very nice and frequently checked on us to make sure we were enjoying our meals and drinks. The crowd was cool too not too old and not too young. The ambiance makes you feel like your in a cheek New York restaurant."

"Our experience at Matchbox on Valentine's Day was very pleasant. The food was very good and the service was excellent. The waiter was very attentive, but did interfere with our dining experience. His suggestions were spot on."

"I love the food and wine selections here, but our service was awful this time. After we were seated, it took the server 20 minutes to even come see us and then they messed up our salad orders. You'd think with all that hassle, they'd offer complimentary desserts or a discount on our bill, but nothing beyond a simple "sorry" was offered. When you delay people's meals by over half an hour, I expect a little more."

"Met a friend for a business lunch. Table was ready upon arrival. Our server was engaging, attentive, knowledgeable of the specials and responsive to our sluggishness getting into the menu (we were so involved catching up that we neglected the menu!). Our entrees were perfectly prepared; the meal was hot and delicious. We never had to ask for a drink refill as the attentive server took care of that without any prodding from us. Pacing was ideal for a business lunch. Great value for price paid. Matchbox Capitol Hill is definitely on my short list of lunch destinations when I'm meeting folks near the Navy Yard. Convenient access from Eastern Market Metro Station."

"I had Kendrick as a server (2nd time). He is the worse server I have experienced in a long time. I gave him the benefit of the doubt the first time, but really? to describe it here wouldn't work because there aren't enough characters in this box."
