History

Established in 2003.

Matt Fleck and Chris Matthew Hill recently celebrated the 6th year of their partnership in Matts' Rotisserie and Oyster Lounge. Matt and Chris, veteran restauranteurs, recognized the distinct opportunity for a steak and seafood concept on the Eastside when they opened their Redmond Town Center location. Hands-on partners, Chris and Matt pursued their vision of a restaurant with fresh, flavorful quality food and drink and great, engaging people. At the forefront of Matts' is the diverse and affordable menu. Chef-partner, Chris, Hill has a unique penchant for "Global" Flavors. The massive, wood-fired grill and rotisserie is the kitchen's showpiece, putting the succulent, mouthwatering "spin" on Hill's style. The decor was designed to be as warm and welcoming as the staff. Upon entering, eyes go straight to the full oval bar featuring a 2 tier, crushed ice, fresh shellfish display backlit in cobalt blue amid pillars adorned with brushed copper. Matts' Great Food, Great People!
