   Reliable French food on the Upper West Side. Very good service and helpful wine steward. Mussels and fries for my wife, grilled octopus and duck breast for me. Both very good.

   Food is great for lunch. Service was excellent and attentive. Overall very pleasant. Note: we ate outside in the "cabana", which was fine, as the weather was perfect. You must be able to tolerate a very high noise level though, since it's technically in the street. Traffic pretty loud, especially when large trucks go past and go over a metal plate in the street. Good dog watching.

   Have always liked the restraurant. While waiting at my table outside for my friend, I was approached by an aggressive panhandling individual. A huge thank you to the staff and patron who came to my aid. Guess I cannot sit outside by myself yet in the area. Learning moment and just grateful nothing happened. Moved inside for a very nice lunch

   We love going to Nice Magín for breakfast when we are in town on Sundays. The offerings (such as avocado omelet, Brie omelet) are imaginative and delicious, and we recently discovered that ordering a side of smoked salmon makes the excellent bread even more excellent. The service (Jacob) is kind and professional.

   My husband and I enjoyed a delicious dinner on Saturday night. Everything and everyone was wonderful. Thanks especially to our waiter, Chester, who was at the same time friendly and professional and to the hostesses who made us feel comfortable and welcome even though we had missed our reservation due to traffic. On reviendra!

    A little pricey but lovely. Good food. We sat on the patio, great for people watching. This place is really Perfect for two ladies who lunch, and it’s nice that there is something for everyone. My friend who ate earlier had creme brûlée and tea while I had the crepes and a glass of rose. The crepes were delicious. I didn’t taste the creme brûlée but it looked spectacular with a lot of fresh fruit on top. This is a go-to place for me, but the meal I just described came to over $70 with a tip.

    Outdoor seating in the shed felt and sounded like the middle of the FDR Highway. Nice menu. Service was slow. Many different service staff flitting around. Frequent solicitation from the homeless when dining outside; no effort by restaurant to remedy it.

    Three of us very much enjoyed the evening at Nice Matin, and my out-of-town friends complimented me for choosing it. The server was attentive but not obtrusive. He consulted the kitchen about ingredients for one person with dietary concerns and was ready to change the sides to accommodate them. We all were pleased with our selections. All in all, a very pleasant experience.

    I happen to have eaten at Nice Matin two evenings in three days. The first night (rainy) I sat at the bar and ordered the Spaghetti a la Marseilles which was excellent (a light, subtle but tasty sauce with prawns, mussels and crab). The service by the bartender was pretty good too ! Two nights later I ate at Nice Matin with my wife. This time I had Prime Hanger Steak; the side was grilled romaine lettuce with a little bit of creamy sauce and parmesan. The steak was very good, the romaine was unusual and excellent ... including the small toasts with melted cheese. We've eaten at Nice Matin since it opened, and it's menu always surprises.

    Best Halibut I ever had in my life. My friend had the muscles which she said was also good. Great wine, staff was very accommodating - nice and friendly and efficient. We sat outside but would feel comfy eating inside as they had a lot of doors open for fresh air. It seems like they went thru a kitchen upgrade since last i was there (pre-pandemic) Seriously, I'm still thinking about that Halibut...

    I've been eating at Nice Matin ever since it opened on the Upper West side decades ago. It's always been dependable. More often, much better than that. The food has definitely taken a turn for the worse. Bland. Uninspired. Lamentable. The safest bets at the moment are the simplest, like the Roast Chicken or the Gnocchi with Pesto. The tomato soup which was the evening's special would pale by comparison to a can of Campbell's. It was supposed to have had basil but none was in evidence. Flavorless. Worst of all were the desserts. Inexcusable. I ordered the Gourmandise. In France a gourmandise is several small portions of different desserts with an espresso. Here, it was three misbegotten cookies and no coffee: A flavorless Madeleine, a sub-par chocolate chip cookie and an inedible sable disgustingly flavored with orange water. Service was friendly and the place still has its neighborhood appeal, but the kitchen needs to step up their game and fast..

    The wait staff is lovely. I took a friend for 10 AM breakfast and mentioned that it was his birthday. I expected a little something perhaps a muffin with a candle or something but that didn’t happen. However the food, avocado scramble and the bread omelette were delicious. The Africa kiss coffee is smooth and so good. A beautiful environment, indeed, reminds me of Paris.

    Had been here for breakfast but first time for dinner. Once we got over the "they're tourists we'll give them a rubbish table even though they booked early" attitude the evening was OK. For guidance on how to produce a good French restaurant try Brasserie Zedel in London

    Very tasty food in a well-appointed setting. Dinner was so nice we went twice! And then breakfast was very rewarding: fresh orange juice, fresh berries, and - well - we ordered oatmeal they made with cinnamon and dried cherries 🍒 and it provided that deep satisfaction.
