    A lovely lunch as usual! The staff, the service & the food are always on point. We met an old college friend for lunch who'd never been to Nice Matin - what a wonderful surprise for her. She so enjoyed it & is looking forward to bringing her daughters here.

    Nice Matin is a neighborhood gem. Reliable for an excellent meal anytime. It is comfortable enough but, like this time, it can get quite loud.

    Met a former student for dinner. The tardiness of all of us was handled graciously and we had a pleasant and relaxed meal. There was a bit too much greenery on my fish but it was tasty and everything one enjoyed their food, especially the chocolate soufflé for dessert.

    Overall one can’t regret choosing Matin. As is true of to many NY restaurants,Matin is very noisy. Conversation with one’s companions is crucial for a meal to be fully enjoyed. When are upscale restaurants going to place a value on this need. Consulting with an acoustical engineer to address Matins severe shortcoming would be well worth the owners attention.

    A charming experience. The food is delicious and the ambience is marvelous: bright, airy, stylish (even my fellow diners) Would love to give the service five stars, but I went a few days apart and had different experiences. Once (for lunch) the service was extraordinary. Two days later (for breakfast), folks were lackadaisical. Lovely people, but hard to get their attention. They were mostly chatting to each other. Not terrible, just a little back on their heels.
