    We love Matisse and come here regularly. It’s a beautiful space and the service is extremely professional. We’ve sampled most of the regular menu items and particularly enjoy the daily specials. Their wine program also offers special wines each day at often very reasonable prices. Last night we enjoyed a Duckhorn Pinot Noir that drank very nicely with both our grilled beef medallions and grilled branzino filet. Enzo, the bartender, knows his way around a cocktail shaker. If you love French food and a great evening out, try Matisse.

    A patron of Matisse for about 29 years, and never disappointed with quality, service or price. Fried green tomatoes were amazing!

    Matisse is our "go to" restaurant for special occasions and we've never been disappointed. Last night, as always, the food was delicious and the service impeccable. We were never rushed but never had to wait for the next course or a response to a request.

    Matisse is one of our “go to“ restaurants. The food is always fabulous. Last night I had delicious softshell crabs and a wonderful heart of palm salad appetizer. We sat upstairs in a smaller room which was quieter. As always, we had a delightful meal.
