    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

    Everything about this place is spectacular. It is quite pricey, this is a place you go to on special occasions but it is worth it. Do not expect to get huge portions either. You do not leave hungry, but satisfied and in a good way. Everyone is so friendly and goes above and beyond to ensure you are having a great experience and you will. It is BYOB.
