    Excellent, as usual. I had Tuna tartare which I hadn’t had before, and it was delicious. Service was friendly and perfect. Very happy.

    The food and service was fine but There was only a limited menu at 3:30PM and neither the website or Open Table had any indication of that. We've been at Nice Matin a number of times and this was the first time we were disappointed.
    Nice MatinResponded 4 days ago
    Hi Martin. I'm sorry that we did not communicate in advance that we serve a reduced lunch menu everyday between 3:30 and 4:30pm. I've since looked into how we can convey this message to guests in the future so that we avoid future disappointment. We appreciate your loyalty and your ongoing support. Thank you for taking the time for sharing your feedback.

    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.
