Matthew's Restaurant

What Matthew's Restaurant does

Matthew's Restaurant is a privately held, family-owned fine dining establishment located at 2107 Hendricks Avenue in the historic San Marco neighborhood of Jacksonville, Florida. Operating since 1997, the restaurant is part of Medure Brothers' Culinary Concepts, founded by Chef Matthew Medure and his brother David Medure. The business serves special-occasion diners, business diners, regular local patrons, and private-event hosts through a 50-seat main dining room with an open kitchen and Chef's Table counter, two private dining spaces (the Wine Room accommodating up to 60 guests and The Loft accommodating up to 25), an M Lounge for bar service, and a temperature-controlled wine cellar housing approximately 2,000 bottles.

The restaurant's core offerings center on contemporary American cuisine with French technique influences, featuring 6-course ($125) and 8-course ($165) tasting menus with optional wine pairings, alongside an a la carte dinner service Monday through Saturday. The technology stack is intentionally minimal and operationally focused: third-party point-of-sale and loyalty infrastructure is provided through ToastTab, which powers M Club rewards sign-ups and gift card transactions. The business model is direct-to-consumer, with all revenue generated on-premises through dine-in service, tasting menus, beverage sales (including a Monday half-price wine promotion and weekday Happy Hour), and private event bookings. There is no third-party delivery, catering channel, or wholesale distribution. Marketing is limited to a single Instagram handle (@Dinematthews), an email newsletter, and the company website, with no evidence of paid acquisition, content marketing, or SEO programs. The restaurant has held the AAA Four Diamond Award continuously since 1999.

Direct peers

• Rue Saint Marc: Sibling Medure Brothers concept offering French-inspired cuisine in Jacksonville. Comparable in parent ownership, culinary lineage, and Northeast Florida diner base.
• Town Hall: Jacksonville-based upscale contemporary American restaurant. Overlaps with Matthew's on menu style, ticket size, and customer segments (special occasion, business diners) in the same metro.
• Orsay: Jacksonville French-influenced restaurant with classic technique and a seasonally driven menu. Comparable in culinary identity, segment, and Jacksonville footprint.
• Blackbird Modern Mediterranean: Long-established upscale contemporary dining concept in Jacksonville serving a similar special-occasion and business-diner customer base. Comparable in price point, service model, and market.
• Restaurant Medure: Sibling concept under Medure Brothers' Culinary Concepts operating fine dining in the Jacksonville market with the same chef ownership group. Most directly comparable in concept, geography, and parent brand.

Broad incumbents

• Eleven Madison Park: Benchmark American fine dining restaurant and tasting-menu operator. Relevant as a reference point for tasting-menu economics, private event demand, and luxury brand-building at the upper end of the segment Matthew's competes within.
• The Grill at The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island: AAA Five Diamond fine dining venue where Matthew's founder Chef Medure previously served as Executive Chef. Comparable in culinary pedigree, award positioning, and Northeast Florida market, but operates inside a luxury resort.

Regional players

• Charlie's at Ponte Vedra Inn & Club: Coastal Northeast Florida fine dining venue serving the same affluent Ponte Vedra / Jacksonville market with comparable special-occasion use cases, though embedded in a club/hotel setting.
• The Restaurant at Ponte Vedra Inn & Club: Long-standing fine dining venue at the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club serving Northeast Florida's affluent coastal market. Comparable in customer profile (special occasion, business) and award-caliber positioning, though operates within a resort setting.

Others

• M Shack: Sibling casual burger concept under Medure Brothers' Culinary Concepts in Jacksonville. Useful as a comparable for group operating capability and brand portfolio strategy, though positioned differently from Matthew's fine dining.
