About this place Matilda's

Matilda's is a neighbourhood bar and restaurant at Sheffield and Barry in Lakeview, a few blocks west of the Northalsted strip. It is a mainstream place listed as gay-friendly. The draw is a long beer list, easy prices and rotating food specials. Note that it admits guests 23 and over only. The kitchen opens at 11:00 with a split shift on weekdays (lunch until 14:30, then dinner from 16:00) and runs straight through on Saturdays. It closes around 22:00 most nights, 23:00 on Fridays and Saturdays. A 4.9 rating from nearly 1,900 Google reviews is unusually high.

Ceviche de pescado 10/10 delicious. Guacamole delicious. The cocktail was ok and all were small plates.

We just ate at the Wells location. HORRIBLE service. Would rate it at zero f possible. The "manager" had massive attitude when asked to address the wobbly table. She was clearly not happy to be there. The MIA waiter showed NO interest in anything. .Our first rose wines were undrinkable, when asked for another option we were told "some people drank last bottle the other day". We sat outside, no one paid any attention to anything . Another couple next to us got up as left without ordering. The food was good. What a pitty!
