What People Are Saying About MatrixFillmore

Those who see the slick, modern design and young, moneyed crowd at this Marina bar-lounge wil be shocked to know that this was once a raging live music venue where the likes of Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead and The Doors played. These days, the doors are all glass, the upholstery is purple velvet and the centerpiece is a gorgeous floating flame sand fireplace. There's a definite scene, with 20- and 30-something singles working the room, couples slinking into the back booths and DJs spinning house music nightly (sometimes there's dancing, but there's never an entrance fee). Friendly bartenders are pros at pouring well-mixed cocktails, ranging from classics (Manhattans) to specialties (spice-tea mojito) to dessert-worthy (chocolate-cake martini).

Our group got here around 8-ish on a saturday. The place was pretty empty and the waitress suggested we can sit in the area between the two rooms or the back room. We chose the back, and less than 10 minutes after we ordered our second round of drinks, we were being told that the area is now reserved and we must leave. Had we known that this area was reserved from 9pm onwards, we'd have chosen to sit somewhere else, but by this time, the place was packed. When confronted, the manager simply told us the staff knew the area of reserved and should've told us. But it seems like they just wanted our money and had us order drinks. The staff is rude, uncaring, and seemingly oblivious to what area is reserved or not. Unless you are a group of 20 and have the $$ to reserve the entire section, don't bother with this place. There are plenty of other places in this area where they actually treat you like human beings as opposed to dollar signs.

Overprice and BAD BAD Staffs, A lot of other places around that more welcome and friendly. Don't waste your money here.

Over-priced, concierge-recommended spot that is nicely built, but soulless. Lot's of delusional, off-brand blondes if that's what you're into.
