Nice MatinGreat NightHad a great experience at Nice Matin. The food was terrific. Unbelievable wine list though it is a little pricey. Service was good---not overbearing and they didn't rush you. A definite repeat.6/13/2013 12:00:00 AMStill one of the best on UWSIt's been a couple of years since I dined at Nice Matin so I was curious to see if it followed former experiences which have all been positive. Glad to report that our experience on a rain soaked June evening on the UWS at Nice Matin was both delicious and attentive. Will be back soon.6/13/2013 12:00:00 AMA little bit of FranceNice has been my goto spot to entertain friends and family for about 7 years now. The menu is excellent with the star being the food. Great wines and beers. Excellent service. An ambiance that screams upscale French bistro without the expensive prices and "take yourself too seriously" attitudes. If you are looking for a great place to have an incredible meal on the Upper West Side, Nice Matin is the place for you!!6/10/2013 12:00:00 AMSit outside and hear youself thinkAlways enjoy the food at Nice Matin. It's the noise level that's impossible. However in the warm weather the problem is solved by dining in the outdoors. You can actually hear the others at the table and not leave with a headache. 3 cheers for spring!6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMBirthday dinnerGreat location! Outdoor seating but you can be seated inside with doors open. Be prepared for loud, busy NY street sounds. It was a very busy night and we had to wait a bit longer for our appetizers. Almost all entrees were delicious. The sole was lacking in taste(which I know it can) so they needed to have a sauce with it. The duck & bouillabaisse entrees were great. Desserts were very tasty and I even had a birthday candle on mine. I would always go back because it's reliable.6/4/2013 12:00:00 AMStill fabulous!Hadn't eaten at Nice Matin in a couple of years and was happy to find that it's still a terrific dining experience. The $38 prix-fixe is an EXCELLENT value!6/4/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways enjoyableSoup of the day was very tasty, bread options were fantastic. Meals were cooked to precise order. Only suggestion would be more wine options on the less expensive side. With only a handful of Bordeaux under $100, it leaves very few options for those on a budget.6/1/2013 12:00:00 AMEnjoyable lunchExcept for the high noise level, we really enjoyed lunch at Nice Matin. We both had the sole and it was absolutely delicious. The service was nice, the atmosphere, other than the noise, was pleasant, the prices moderate for the neighborhood, and the food was excellent. We would definitely go back.5/30/2013 12:00:00 AMFood, as ever, surprises byFood, as ever, surprises by its quality and vivid tastes. The chairs remain uncomfortable and the general look is bare and unappealing. I would eat there more often if they would redesign that space.5/29/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat placWe love this place and return often. Very consistent in food and service.5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMA neighborhood gemWe've never had a bad meal here. From the people who greet you as you enter to the server to the people who keep an eye on your fluid levels, the experience is a good one. Prices seem reasonable for NY. The only miscue was being charged for a dessert we thought was part of the prix fix menu. This is a great little restaurant. Go and enjoy5/19/2013 12:00:00 AMWE WILL BE BACKmy husband and i recently took an overnight trip to the great city of new york----so of course i made reservations-- we took a seat at the bar because we arrived a little early--the young lady serving us was just wonderful--friendly and accomodating.....then came dinner--our server was somewhat of a let down---not that he wasnt polite--but we were not told the specials--not offered any of those wonderful breads that were being offered at other tables and he only came over to our table--long after we recieved our food to see if we needed anything....we will be back to see you when we come back to ny because overall the meal was fantastic...and will recommend to family and friends when they are there!!!5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMNice neighborhood spot, especiallyNice neighborhood spot, especially for lunch. Can get a little noisy at dinner. Good salads.5/14/2013 12:00:00 AMOnce again, sublime!!We keep returning and returning. A lovely evening with delicious food, impeccable service and reasonable prices!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food and beer.Even though it was Mother's Day and the restaurant was totally packed, service was wonderful and the food was very good. All of us enjoyed what we ordered although the one "just ok" dish was the spring onion tart. I would go with any other appetizer. The taste and the size of it was not worth the cost at all. That was the only downside of the evening.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMFriends from TX enjoyed everyFriends from TX enjoyed every aspect of Nice Matin! I love to take people there. great service, wine recommendations and the food is perfectly prepared and scrumptious! The staff was lovely and attentive -- most enjoyable evening--- always!5/8/2013 12:00:00 AMalways dependableThe food here is always so good and so reasonably priced. The fish is just excellent, I had cod with artichokes and it was superb. If only it were a little less noisy, but I certainly wouldn't want its success to suffer, so guess I'm willing to put up with it. It is our go-to local restaurant...5/7/2013 12:00:00 AMBreakfastWe only had breakfast here, but we had a very busy schedule and being able to make a reservation for breakfast was very helpful. Staff is very nice, restaurant is bright, welcoming; many choices on the menu to suit everyone. Service was prompt and attentive.4/30/2013 12:00:00 AMNice ambiance, and authenticNice ambiance, and authentic French cuisine. Not at all a pretentious environment, but still feels like you are enjoying a good quality meal.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMSaturday Early Dinner DelightA wonderful and pleasurable experience. Everything is prepared beautifully, and with a rich palette of flavors. The soups are truly special. Courses come out of the kitchen with alacrity.. timing is excellent. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable. There's nothing not to recommend about Nice Matin.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMUpper west paradiseAs always, a dining pleasure! This has been our third visit during the past three months and my 7th overall. Satisfying all around!4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMLovely birthday meal accomodatingLovely birthday meal accomodating our gluten-free dining needs!4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMNice meal, friendly staff.Nice meal, friendly staff. Ran into some friends which was nice as well. Would dine again4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMI walk past this restaurantI walk past this restaurant all the time and had never been because I heard it was a little pricey. But we decided to take my mother there for her birthday. It was AMAZING! Yes...a little on the pricey side. But not terrible. And definitely more affordable if you don't order as many appetizers and glasses of wine as we did. I would definitely recommend!4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMVery nice lunch menu - goodVery nice lunch menu - good salads. Nice decor, and good location. It's a tad on the noisy side - so if you are looking for a 'quiet lunch', this is not the place for you.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMReliable, great food, warmReliable, great food, warm and efficient service. Good value, strong menu. Rather noisy at dinner time, hard to hear dinner companions.4/10/2013 12:00:00 AMFun eveningOnce again, a memorable evening. My only complaint is some people love to scream whilst dining3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMnot sure why i stopped coming,not sure why i stopped coming, i have dined here 3 times in last 3 weeks and each was just great!!3/17/2013 12:00:00 AMLoved the tuna tartareI loved the tuna tartare...the Croque Monsieur was nothing special, though. We asked to move to another table because we couldn't carry on a conversation at the first. The partitions enclosing our table and 1 other made the noise bounce around even more.3/14/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent dinner choice!We had a wonderful prix fixe dinner here. Don't miss the Meyer lemon risotto and the pan roasted Boston cod. These two are real winners. Service here is attentive and not at all obtrusive. -just what it should be3/11/2013 12:00:00 AMAs always the food and serviceAs always the food and service were terrific. We especially appreciate the sommelier and his knowledge of french wines. The restaurant was also accomodating since it changed our arrival time a bit and added an additional person. This was a very busy time for the restaurant -- I believe it was virtually full.3/4/2013 12:00:00 AMClassic French with a definiteClassic French with a definite Mediterranean flair, the food was more interesting than most NY bistros. The lamb shank with eggplant and polenta had a fabulous sauce and the chicken was aromatic with herbs. Portions were quite large. Vegetable soup was one of the best I ever had. Will absolutely return.12/27/2012 12:00:00 AM
