I'm a resident of Matthews and visited Seaboard with my husband several weeks after it had opened. Believe it's named after the Seaboard Air Line Railroad which ran through Matthews in the late 1800s. It's in a fantastic location and I think it's proving a hit with residents...it was already quite busy when we visited. Great location for parking, first of all. Parking in Matthews can be a challenge, but this was right next door to the public parking area that lines the railroad track. Owned by the Carolina Beer Temple owner, who seems to have a knack for success. Great wines available...some by the bottle. There is a great outdoor area that overlooks Trade Street and my husband and I drank our wine and people-watched. There is some food there (cheese plate, as I recall), but Seaboard also encourages patrons to bring in food from other locations to enjoy with their wine (Royal Cafe and Creperie and Thai Taste are right across the street...street has a pedestrian crosswalk right in front of Seaboard). There were outdoor games available (horseshoes, maybe?) and a LOT of kids there and infants. Parents let their children play in the courtyard (I think there is at least one courtyard, maybe two) and sipped wine. Very relaxing environment. If you prefer to watch sports, there is also a section on the right as you enter where there are large-screen TVs for sports fans. Indoor seating at tables is also available, if the weather is poor. Looking forward to my return and for the success of this new establishment.
