We have been going to the original Cafe Matisse for almost 30 years. When we heard that a new chef owner had taken over we had to give it a try. Matisse 167 did not disappoint. Chef Greg Power has definitely kept the tradition of inventive delicious dishes that former owner Peter Loria had established. The food, service, and of course the ambiance is as special as it has always been. We definitely will be coming back

The service was good but very slow....food great as always. Quite noisy but manageable.

My son and I had a fantastic experience for our Thanksgiving meal. From the atmosphere to the service to the buttery melt-in-your-mouth meats that were never-ending! We enjoyed the interactions with different servers and how they engaged in conversation with us. Worth the higher price from our Normal meals, this is a great special occasion go-to!!

You can never go wrong eating at Capital Grille. The food is always outstanding and the waiters are remarkable. We’ve eaten at other locations in different states but to us the Paramus location is the best. I had the New England Clam Chowder soup, the Lobster salad. My husband had the French Onion soup and the Steak Frites . We finished our meal with the cheesecake. Everything was absolutely delicious!
