We used to dine here from time to time. Then we moved back into the area after a decade away and this was our first evening out. Not disappointed. Love the ambiance. Food was quite good. The fried green tomatoes were a perfect start, they divided the order for us to share. The seafood risotto was rich in flavor. Halibut was perfectly cooked. The stuff it rested on was nondescript/confusing flavors. Strawberry shortcake was excellent. Jay the server was very personable. We'll be back.

We love Matisse! They consistently have fantastic cooking, outstanding service (thank you Kristian), in a very comfortable and welcoming space. And excellent music, too. Last night we had their Caesar salad, entrees of some wonderful soft shell crabs with succotash, and Pearl River salmon that is always outstanding. They have a great selection of wines, too.

We love having the casual chic Matisse in our convenient neighborhood. The roast chicken is always comforting and reliably good. The wine by the glass is good, and the choices satisfying. I love the atmosphere of elegance. Our waiter was just the right combination of knowledgeable and charming.
