My name is Nico Romo, and I am the Chef and Owner of Nico Romo Hospitality Group in Charleston, South Carolina. NRHG began in 2017, with our first concept, NICO. Renovating NICO was a huge project, and Matt was up to the challenge right away. There were many setbacks with such an extensive renovation, and Matt persevered through every single one. He kept calm and patient, but always kept fighting to get the job done right.

I can say with confidence that Matt was one of the main reasons NICO was able to open, and we wouldn’t be here without him. His humility and integrity are the foundation of who he is as a person and as a professional. I am so grateful for Matt’s partnership and recommend his work highly!

Through the years Matt and I have worked on many projects together. Matt has been pivotal in the shaping of our restaurants and brand. He is responsible for taking crazy design ideas from two lifelong friends, (who disagree on everything!), making them realistic yet outstanding, and bringing the whole thing to life in well functioning restaurants. Philosophia was our first business and he was able to transform a 25 year old hibachi restaurant into our Greek oasis while keeping the project well within our budget. We raised the stakes with our second restaurant, Taverna. It was to be double the size, contain a massive custom raw bar, elegant bathrooms, full kitchen remodel, 50′ bar, and of course thousands of clay pots hanging from the ceiling; Matt partnered with us, took our dream and made it a reality that receives compliments on a daily basis.

I have never worked with anyone, let alone a General Contractor, that attacks each day with more positivity, flexibility, and eagerness than Matt. Evidence of his wealth of knowledge and experience shows in his work as he is the first contractor I have ever worked with that can personally perform the trades of all his subcontractors with precision.

Lastly and certainly not least is Matt has an integrity that you just don’t find anymore, and continues to be a voice of reason, advice and a sounding board for me on construction, business, and just about anything else!

We had a great experience working with Matt Grayson during our restaurant renovation. From start to finish, he was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. He did an excellent job managing the project and navigating the inspection process, which made a potentially stressful renovation much smoother. The quality of the work met our expectations, and he kept us informed every step of the way. We appreciate his attention to detail and would confidently recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and experienced general contractor.

We have worked with Matt on several projects over several years and spanning several concepts. Being bilingual helps in our world, and his ability to take the thoughts out of our heads and make them a reality have been highly valuable to us.

He is constantly thinking, is a communicator and tenacious and has the ability to cross many platforms and many trades to keep everything on schedule and on budget.

We would highly recommend Matt’s team and plan to continue to use him in the growth of our concept.
