Great Valentine’s Day dinner here! The beef dish and lobster were great. The star was definitely the Swiss chocolate crème brûlée. Skip the lobster bisque, it was not great. Service was incredible and the restaurant itself is gorgeous!

Our three-person party had a delightful dinner at Matisse a few nights ago. Our meals were delicious, the staff served us professionally (as they always do), and the venue enhances the evening. We've been many times and will look forward to returning.

Celebrated an anniversary and couldn’t be happier with the food and service here. The atmosphere is very great and the restaurant is so elegant. Daniela, our server, was knowledgeable and delivered with impeccable timing. I had the filet minion and it was fantastic cooked medium. We’ll definitely be back.

Our first time there and this restaurant wowed us. Great food, awesome environment, quick friendly accurate service. Best part was the value. We were drinking wine with our meal and it came out to roughly $100 per person before tip. For an upscale experience, charming decor, mature dress-up crowd, high-end food quality and excellent menu worthy of becoming a regular...this restaurant will not dissapoint you. Highly recommend for date night or to impress business associates and colleagues. Only thing is you have to get reservations in advance since it's a very popular place, and there is no garage or valet so parking is a challenge. Uber or Lyft is the way to go.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jeff Chen · May 2023

We had the Mother's day brunch set menu. Food was pretty good but some dishes were a lot better than others. Among starters, the smoked trout salad had great flavor. The crab cake was solid, nothing special. Beets were food except the vinaigrette was very sweet -- sweeter than the creme brulee. As for the mains, I was a little underwhelmed by the amount of duck in the duck confit hash -- otherwise delicious. If I had to do it over, I would have gotten the filet mignon, which came with some killer roasted potatoes.
