Fabulous food and service! Stephanie and Gareth so kind and advised us on the perfect amount of wonderful apps and food

Over the last few years, Nice Matin has become my go to restaurant for that special dinner with my best friend. The food is always excellent, the service is attentive but not too fussy, and the atmosphere is comfortable, friendly, and relaxing.

With only one minor exception the food was excellent as were all other features of the restaurant. The only reason that I gave 4 instead of 5 stars to the food was because the side dish of crispy potatoes was not as it should have been. Though crispy, the potatoes were completely dried out on the inside to the extent that it was difficult to eat them. This is not a hard dish to prepare and cook properly and I expect with some attention by the chef it will be corrected. This is the first time I have ever found fault with a restaurant because of a side dish. When I next eat there I may try it again.

The restaurant’s interior is stunning, but for larger groups, you may be seated in an outdoor area. While the outdoor space is decent, it doesn’t quite match the ambiance of the inside. It is equipped with space heaters, but it was still a bit chilly during our visit. We requested to be moved indoors, and the staff was very accommodating, relocating us inside as space allowed. This, of course, depends on availability, and we were fortunate that there was room for our group of eight. We were celebrating a birthday, and the staff went above and beyond to make it special by providing a birthday card for my niece and presenting her cake with a candle. The food was, as always, absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant 100%!

This was a fabulous lunch from beginning to end! The service was just out of this world as was the food! I had their marvelous French onion soup to start, and then a large order of steak tartare with pomme fritts! Then to top it all off I had a gorgeous hot fudge sundae with their special ice cream of the week, which was peanut butter and boy was it ever special! All topped up with a mountain of whipped cream and some beautiful toasted almonds. Please don’t share this with my cardiologist.
