Chef driven seasonal menus, made for every day Dine at Mattei's Tavern
The Essence of Californian Cuisine
A sought-after culinary destination unto itself, Mattei’s Tavern has something for everyone to eat, at any hour of the day. Each of the dining venues is distinct in aesthetic, experience and flavor; however, they share a single thread: fresh, local California food with influences of ranch life, roadside comfort and the unmistakable buzz of the world’s finest restaurants. Led by The Tavern, the signature eatery featuring chef-driven seasonal dishes, there is a conceptual foundation to the menu items and inherent sophistication in the ingredients – however, food at Mattei’s is always approachable, satisfying and made for every day.
The perfect roadside bar, recently renovated but still authentic to the original build, remains to be Mattei's most popular hangout. The beverage program focuses on progressive yet approachable historically inspired cocktails, with local craft beers, a thoughtfully curated wine list and a menu of bar snacks that range from bite size to hearty.

Gin's Tap Bar
