   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.

   Waiter basically ignored us after taking the order. Had to flag down a busboy for the check.

   Wonderful food, service and ambiance. We were celebrating a graduation and couldn’t have asked for a nicer experience.

   We have dined here often and always enjoy it. This time we came with friends. We all ordered different dishes and tasted each other’s. EVERYTHING was delicious, even better than usual.

   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.

    A nice neighborhood spot. The service is very good. Ambiance nice. The only thing is the food which is generally good is often over-salted. Fresh food prepared well does. not require a lot of salt. As I eat here often this over-salting is consistent. I wish they would adjust that because it takes away from an otherwise very nice experience.

    Food was really good. Sat outside under heat lamps - very nice set up but tables very close together and the noise (though not their fault) was insanely loud. Heat lamps were great. Service left a lot to be desired.

    Love this restaurant. The truffle burgers are legend along with crispy skinny fries. Thank you. What a treat. The staff is always very fast and accommodating and friendly. This is one of my favorite go to places in my neighborhood. I also had family visiting from the Midwest and California and they loved Nice Matin.

    This was our second visit to Nice Matin. We were drawn back by our experience with their gnocchi on our last visit. We had a good server although our water glasses were empty much of our visit. We love the warm sourdough roll and olive oil butter they provide. My guest ordered the gnocchi. She thought it was ok but not as good as our last visit. They were too mushy and had too much sauce compared to last time. Not sure if new recipe or different chef but wish they were like the last time. I had the branzino but requested french fries instead of roasted potatoes. Their french fries are the best in Manhattan. The fish was nicely prepared with crispy skin and on a bed of a tasty puree.

    This restaurant was a treat. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was amazing. I had the duck entree, the carrot soup, a glass of Spanish wine, and the chocolate & banana bread pudding for dessert. My friend had the ravioli and crème brûlée and raved about it.

    Service and food was good but even though there were empty tables they put us at a table in the back corner. That wouldn’t have been so bad but we discovered it was next to the back door for serving people outside and was frequently being opened and closed and cold air was coming in. Didn’t make us feel very special not to give us more consideration and give us a better table when they were empty tables available.
