Matuto is a blend of rustic and modern bar & grill with a decidedly Brazilian touch. The bar features craft and signature cocktails as well as a number of local and South American beers. The menu is quite diverse from appetizer to dessert. Meats and fish are most definitely the stars, but you will find some vegetarian dishes as well. Drop in any weekday (5-7pm) for Happy Hour for a crowd that really knows how to relax, and Matuto’s expertly crafted drinks.
