Ladies Night at Match. Since tonight is Ladies Night at MATCH - and their entrees are $5 - two of my friends and I decided to go for dinner. I've been to Ladies Night two other times and I must say those other times were much better than tonight. I ordered the filet mignon and a glass of merlot which is usually a delicious combo, but my steak was overdone/dry so it wasn't as enjoyable as it should have been. I guess the food might be hit or miss, but for $5 I'm not gonna do too much complaining... The atmosphere here is young, fun and lively!

My only other complaint is that the women on staff there all where shirts + no pants which to me, is relatively ridiculous. I mean I guess they are trying to pass these 'shirts' off as 'dresses' but let's get real, they're shirts. I don't need to see your vajayjay during dinner. I'm not enjoying the free buffet at the strip club - I'm at a nice restaurant in the Back Bay, all I'm asking is that you dress appropriately. I was just looking for my $5 entree not $5 for some T and A.

Also, it gets pretty packed there on Thursday nights, so the earlier the better or else you could be in for an hour or so wait!

Overall, pretty good place. Definitely worth checking out - especially on Thursday nights!

nice place but the management is tremendously horrible. I was in today and saw nothing out of the ordinary. two manager not doing anything at all. Why is that? These managers cant control there staff and at the same time I feel that im trying to talk over them. I was sitting by the booth closest to the window and I heard everything you could possibly hear. My dinner was great but after listening to there conversation the entire time I was there i felt sick to my stomach. Word od advice retrain managers or just get rid of them. I dine there a lot and you know nothing ik keeping me to return.Rather it s loud or rather service is horrible. As well as the food the spicy shrimp, and roasted chicken was great.

great service / great drinks. Went to Match last night. We sat at the bar and had a few mini-burgers and a couple of martinis. The lamb burger and lobster burger were fantastic, and the pop culture and the espresso martinis were also delicious. The service was great! Our bartender was delightful. We will be back.
