    We had an excellent diner for our recent wedding anniversary at Matisse. The timing between courses was spot on and the food was great. My wife and I shared everything, so we got to try most things on the menu and the highlights for us included the crudo, the octopus, the cajun pasta, the sea bass, cheesecake and the creme brulee. What makes this place even more special was the service from Adrian and front of house team. We will definitely be back again.

    I haven’t dined there in 25 years. It was just as great as it was back then the new chef and owner is wonderful and the same kitchen staff with the old owner. They are amazing as well. Food was amazing. The experience in the igloo was excellent so much fun for my birthday dinner and the food was amazing. The four course tasting menu was outstanding. Such a great variety. We will be back and they have private parties.

    Matisse 167 continues the tradition of excellence that has been keeping me coming back for the last 15 years. Knowing that the style of Cafe Matisse and Chef Peter is still abundant, but with a slight new twist from Chef Greg is a wonderful combination that will have me coming back for more. Chef Greg made the most superb octopus I have ever had in my life last night. I can’t wait to go back and see what’s up next!

    Where to begin, this was a special dinner and I really wanted everything to go perfect. Having chosen the garden igloo I was a little apprehensive how things would go. Upon arrival we were escorted to the garden and found the table and setting in the special igloo along with some lightly falling snow to be enchanting. It was like eating in a giant snow globe. The service was exceptional. Adrien was the best host and we were even introduced to the chef when we left. The food was amazing, every course was just perfect in preparation, taste and presentation. We had a magical dinning experience in the garden and will most definitely return. Ray P.

    Wonderful place. Extremely romantic and the service is wonderful. The food was not up to the expectations that we had. Is it bad? Not even close. The food is very good but for that price point I left still hungry and felt the value was not there. For $125 per person it just didnt live up to the price. If it was $75-80 per person tue value would have been there. Unfortunately with the service and the amazing ambiance, we wont be returning simply for the value.

    Wonderful meal in every way! The good was outstanding. I had the octopus as one of my 4 choices; it was the most tender octopus that I've had anywhere, hands down! Service was attentive without being hovering. They were very knowledgeable about all of the different courses. Romantic setting.
