It looks wonderful Rob. Where is it? Cliffs or beach?
It's on the beach road across from the Treehouse in the Boardwalk Shopping Village.Quote:

Yes, multiple TVs! No worries!
looks really nice . if I'm reading the prices correctly, its too upscale for this good ol country boy from Tennessee
LOL... Those flask prices were for the outside party last night!
I basically took the picture so Tito fans would know that Matthew's has Tito's!
thanks Rob. look forward to checking out the menu
Wow! Fancy for Negril. Sushi? It does look good though.
Yes, it is "fancy"... Four screens, two at the bar and two on the floor!

How much is a COLD Red Stripe? Sorry it is the only way I know how to compare prices.
$500 or us$4 for a Red Stripe...
And what's left of the flasks from opening night! Tito's Vodka anyone?

So really... what's the deal with that sushi? I can't for the life of me figure out what those rolls are supposed to be. Maybe it "looks nice" at a glance as some are saying, but take a close look - sushi doesn't look like that.
Personally, I would rather eat / drink / party on the beach, or on the cliffs with a view... and not in a shopping center... but I guess if the vibe is right?
Don't knock it 'til you try it...as the saying goes!Quote:

I enjoy supporting new businesses...as it's never easy to open a restaurant anywhere but especially in Negril!!
Apparently sushi does look like that...

Rob, any update on the HiLo moving into the Boardwalk?
Won't be this year...
TY article is a good read. Hope they do well there.Quote:

No, that's not a real Japanese thing. Sure, it's a Jamaican interpretation... but it should not be confused with actual Japanese style sushi. The definition of sushi is vinegared rice with raw fish, or sometimes vegatables. Not fruit, not cooked fish, and definitely not chicken. If I ordered sushi and they brought me out a plate that looked like that pic... I would find it hilarious.Quote:

I wish them well. Looking forward to additional options to watch hockey next spring.
The article I linked is entitled "MATTHEW’S SUSHI BAR - Sushi is more than raw fish". which I felt summed up my post perfectly. Possibly you are confusing sushi with sashimi which is raw fish with rice.Quote:

The sushi preparation lends itself to an amazing variety of taste sensations!
Rob, you just can't help being high and mighty, doing your best to prove your members wrong.
Those articles take tons of liberties with actual facts about Japanese sushi. I am sure that yummly.com and Health.com are not the experts on what sushi is.
You could have said yes, it's a Jamaican interpretation. But instead, you double down and try to make me look wrong, stupid, whatever it is you're doing. Not the first time you've done it to me, and others.
You just seem to have this need to be 100% right about anything and everything Negril and Jamaica related and you have no problem spinning things to make it appear so. But I know.
Its just another reason that this forum gets fewer and fewer posts, and groups in places like Facebook have thriving communities with lots of back and forth, tens of thousands of active members... no wonder lately you've been sharing links on facebook back to this forum.
Harry - countering misinformation about Negril is one of the main purposes of Negril.com. Speculation and rumors could easily build up the number of posts here, but what would be the point if it isn't true?Quote:

You stated that "The definition of sushi is vinegared rice with raw fish, or sometimes vegatables." This is simply not true. The Tokyo Creative website that I linked is based in Tokyo. Their main purpose is to provide a unique insight into all aspects of Japanese culture and daily life. And they define sushi as not requiring raw fish as does every other authority about the subject.
Matthew's serves real sushi, which is very, very good!
Unfortunately, I also have to correct your misinformation about Negril.com. Early next month we will have our half millionth visitor this year, far more than all the Negril groups on Facebook combined. As for my personal Facebook usage, other than maybe a couple dozen posts, everything I post IS a link to Negril.com.
There is a difference between having to be right and having to get it right. When you conflate the two it's when frustration arises. Having lived in Japan for three years I feel I have a good understanding of what sushi and sashimi are as well as the diversity in Japan alone. Rob did a good job adding some clarity to the subject, and frankly food varies greatly, even within a country.
Wish nothing but great success to Matthew's. It is nice to see another option in Negril.
I’m happy to have another option other than margaritaville to watch football in November.
What are their regular prices during high season
Their website is not finished yet, I will try to get a picture of the menus this week!
Rob, is that in JA or US? Either way prices aren't bad. Happy to see Fever Tree tonic water has made it's way to Negril! Love that stuff! I can't wait to check it out in November.
I agree very reasonable prices. $6 margarita sounds great! We’ll try it out next week.
In J$.... a US$800 Margarita would be a bit over the top...Quote:

I had to catch myself before I said something. I am not sure of the names but yes they did include chicken (fried), steak (like the cowboy roll) and a number of what I considered to be rather odd variations. All delicious and my mind was broadened. I am looking forward to trying Matthew's interpretation of sushi. I stopped at the NCB a few Saturday night's ago and when I looked over at Matthew's the place was jumping.
yes, those would be Manhattan, LA or DC prices :) I'm ready to try the Negril and the Spicy Tuna RollQuote:
