Excellent food and service. Escargot was one of the three best preparations I’ve ever had with the escargots soft and tasty. Too often they are overcooked and rubbery. These were done perfectly. Dessert was delicious as was main course. Thank you to the wait staff for the birthday salutation. Appreciated!

Late Lunch on President’s Day with less of a crowd, so it was quieter than usual. April was a great server and our favorite booth was available. We’re from AZ so whenever we stay at The Lucerne Hotel we come into Nice Matin once or twice. See you next trip and thanks again, Ralph S.

Great venue. I've been coming here for years. The food quality is great and the prices are reasonable. I can't wait to go back again. My favorites are the escargot and the Catalan mussels and fries. My only critique: PLEASE get rid of the TV at the bar.
