Editorial Review for Matrix Fillmore – by Daniel Liszt

In Short
There's no sign outside this slick destination. Inside, the centerpiece is a tall Lincoln Log-like fireplace with glittering sand and floating flames. Well-heeled 20- and 30-somethings flock here for an upscale singles scene. DJs spin 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).

Insider Tips

Know Before You Go

The reasonably priced food menu is offered daily (5:30pm-11:30pm) and consists of global cuisine like fondue, mini-Cuban sandwiches and sushi from Plumpjack Cafe.

Where to Sit

Ideal for couples: Several semi-private booths with translucent curtains sit in the hallway between the two rooms.

Parking

Valet parking is available at nearby Balboa Cafe (Fillmore and Greenwich streets).

The Extras

No reservations are taken so it's first come first serve.

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.

Pros: nice decor, good music

Cons: unfriendly and rude staff

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