    This is one of the few nicer restaurants that are open during the winter months. If you're a larger party of people, it's definitely advisable to call ahead since it's a small establishment and tables fill up fast.

    The indoor and outdoor decor is very eclectic and cool. There's all sorts of local art hanging from the walls. It's an old building, which contrasts nicely with the more modern touches they added to the place. It has a very maritime-ey feel (I made that word up). It's also very cozy; especially like on a cold night with sleet falling like it was.

    Among the typical Atlantic coast fare on the menu, there is also a nice variety of Slovak food, which I've heard is delicious (because the chef is Slovak).

    We ordered a variety of dishes, so could compare notes. Our favorite appetizer was the Mexican scallops and pork belly. It was delicious and had the most decent portion size of all the appetizer dishes. I had the beef tartar, which had a very unique taste, but was quite tiny.
    For the entrée, I had the special of the night which was Atlantic trout with scallops, shrimp and hollandaise sauce. The fish was really good, though I wasn't much into the vegetables that accompanied it (bok choy was slimy).
    My sister ordered the steak. On the menu it says "rib eye", but they had none of that in Stock and so we're serving striploin. She ordered it medium rare, but it came out well done.. They fixed that up quickly.

    They have a large and varied dessert menu. Definitely larger than most restaurants I had been to. So I would recommend saving some room for that.
    I'd definitely visit again.. Next time in the summer though to compare.

    We love Mateus Bistro and is always top of our list of places to go for special occasions.. a bit pricey, but frankly it is well worth it. Great service and food.

    A terrific restaurant. Super laid-back but dead serious about food, with cool, friendly staff, and consistently great food. Just as good for brunch or drinks-and-dessert as for a full-blown meal. We are lucky to have this place in Mahone Bay.

    Used to be wonderful, but no longer. Dingy, pricey, and service can be a bit lacking at times. Nice to sit on the patio.

    High end with good service and great atmosphere. Didn't love my mussels but the duck was good.
