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

We went back to Haven to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday. The kitchen was able to modify some dishes to accommodate her allergies without changing the dish. Our table along the windows overlooking the city was a perfect backdrop for a perfect evening.

This has become our mom & daughter Thanksgiving tradition! Thank you for providing a fantastic meal with wonderful service that never disappoints. We don’t really enjoy turkey, so your pre-fixed meal is perfect for us. The petite filet paired well with a good red wine and excellent sides with a traditional turkey dinner flare was exactly what we wanted. Looking forward to returning next year.

This was an outstanding hidden gem of a restaurant. Our waitress Marie was absolutely incredible.
