    Came for restaurant week. The food was fabulous, and the cocktail menu and wine list were also great. I had a great experience and would go back.

    Shrimp beignets were good, beans on octopus starter were undercooked. Lamb dish was truly one of the worst things I’ve ever ordered anywhere in the world. Chewy lamb, strange tasteless sauce, mushy flavorless I’m not sure what - lentils maybe? Disappointing food all around. Service was attentive, friendly and excellent.

    Restaurant was very crowded and noisy. I am allergic to nuts. Sticky Toffee Pudding (on R week special) is not usually made withnuts but had walnuts. My friend called ahead to say she was allergic to garlic and was told there'd be no problem. However, heer tuna nicosie salad arrived with canned tuna--not accceptable. Surely you could have grilled a quick piece of plain tuna. I asked for a roll and was till waiting after 20 minutes. The waitress was kind enough not to charge us for coffee or tea but it was a distressing experience.

    Always a good choice for lunch or dinner. My favorite dish is their salade niçoise. Just had the toffee pudding for dessert for the first time. Pure ambrosia !

    The food was good and the proportion size was huge! Service was excellent. The noise level however, was very bad. I really detracted from the experience.

    I've been coming to Nice Matin for years and used to love it but this last time I was shocked by how small portion sizes have become. Five ravioli dressed with a basil leaf is not an entree-sized portion. I ordered ice cream thinking since I was still hungry after the ravioli I would have a treat, and I received a serving of partially-melted ice cream that was maybe two tablespoons in size. It's sad, the service was nice, but I won't be back. Having to have a snack at home after going out to dinner because you got so little food is ridiculous.

    Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch or Dinner it’s always the very best. Never miss it and combined with The Lucerne it’s the ultimate combination. Tanks again.
