Great upper west side restaurant. If you live in the Bronx or Westchester, you can drive your car and park near the restaurant for about $18. Service was excellent. Food was also very good. Will come back soon.

Christmas prix fixe: Food was mostly very good. They clearly had their A team in the kitchen for this. The mushroom risotto, endive salad, turkey, branzino, crème brûlée, and sticky toffee pudding were all excellent. Paloma cocktail was a disappointment: weak on both the alcohol and grapefruit flavor. Service was friendly and attentive. But felt very rushed for a big meal, even with the warning with the reservation confirmation that tables would have an hour and a half.

We love Nice Matin! We go for special occasions or just when we want to treat ourselves. So we were super excited to go for our Christmas Eve dinner and take advantage of the wonderful prix fixe menu they'd advertised! When we got there, they said that menu was only for Christmas Day. So we opened the website up and showed them the big "Christmas Eve Prix Fixe" in bold print, below which was Christmas Eve and Christmas Day hours. In the fine print it said Christmas Eve was the ala carte menu and daily specials, which we had taken to mean the Prix Fixe, since it was a sub-head of what was above. The people at the table next to us had come with the same impression. But the server and host both said we'd read it wrong. So we were super disappointed and felt they'd really made a huge error in marketing. That said, we enjoyed our meal, as we always do. It wasn't the best we've had there, but we were not able to judge properly. We'd still recommend it, just be vigilant on special occasions to make sure they're serving what they say they're serving. I do notice they seem to have changed the way the New Year prix fixe is advertised. It's much clearer, so they clearly have had other complaints.

We were seated right away. Our waiter was knowledgeable and charming. Coctails and dinners arrived right on time and both were delicious.
