I stumbled upon this gem - trying to make my way to sapori trattoria (they closed at 9 so I was late again) it was rainy and I was hungry so I stopped into Matilda - immediately good vibes, so I sat and stayed

Matilda — clean, consistent italian in Lakeview. If you drink, start at the bar. "The steak salad was so good steak was tender arugula was fresh and the hibiscus margarita was fantastic" — Zara Vanite [$$, patio]

☀️Patio — a Lakeview classic in summer.

Went for taco Tuesday and had the delicious fish, shrimp,beef and fried chicken taco. Our waiter was kind and knew everything about the draft beers.

I stumbled upon this gem - trying to make my way to sapori trattoria (they closed at 9 so I was late again) it was rainy and I was hungry so I stopped into Matilda - immediately good vibes, so I sat and stayed. After ordering 2 meals and a drink - I realized I left my wallet at home and freaked out - my bartender was not only understanding but made me realize its ok to be human - Chicken thigh entree and Korean BBQ chicken sandwich for the win - i ordered both and took leftovers home! Best Brussels sprouts i have had in this city - ever! I couldn't believe how cheap my bill was, too - specials during the week. I hear they have trolley busses for an upcoming neighborhood pub crawl starting this Friday, too - you should be there but tip your bartenders - i do! Thanks guys - it had been a day and I needed the grace and good service. 🌻

Food was great, wine was delicious, and kitchen was very accommodating for our dietary restrictions. Our server Orlando was amazing! Will definitely be returning.

Don’t come during rush hour since they’ll ask if you’re going to do a tab? I felt rushed and I was glad I could hold my ground and kindly turn them down.

We met up with friends at Matilda's to watch a basketball game. We just got drinks but our friends got food. The bar area was nice but the TVs were small or the big tv was blurry. We had a good time hanging out and the drinks were good. The food looked good. We will have to go back and have dinner there.

Amazing place with great seafood and protein filled options with spicy choices. Pavlo was an awesome server and food came out quick. This was a last minute decision and I will come back again!

This restaurant is amazing! The lunch menu was perfect and everything we ordered was excellent!! Our waiter, Johnny was the best! Not only did he take our order, he made great recommendations and even mixed our cocktails. His cocktails were the best we’d had in a while! I highly recommend you check this restaurant out. Ask for Johnny! You won’t be disappointed!

We had a great dinner! Incredible flavors and sauces from the roasted avocado to Conchita pibil and ceviche. We will be back. Tamarind cocktail was also delicious
