    The food was great, but service was lacking. Seemed to be a change over after brunch. We nearly never had any attention from the 3 servers we had during our visit. It was extremely confusing, and honestly put a damp in the experience. Quality of the food made it worth the wait for our reservation. We were 5m late to our reservation, and had to wait 20m to be seated. I would come back, but it's moved it's way down the list. Also, the bathroom line is insane.

    Excellent food! More reasonably priced than I would expect for a New York restaurant. Creative and delicious cocktails. An accessible by the glass wine list. We were seated by the bar, which was quieter than the rest of the restaurant. Service, especially by the bartenders, is excellent.

    I had a delicious dinner at Nice Matin this evening, I started with the Printemps salad then had the spaghetti. The great manager Danny chose two glasses of red wine for me. My server couldn't have been better. On the whole a lovely dinner!

    My friend and I enjoyed a delightful dining experience at Nice Matin. I arrived early and enjoyed a strawberry-basil margarita. After we were seated abs ordered chicken paillard and grilled octopus as our mains. Everything was delicious. Our server, Amanda, was friendly and helpful. We’ll be back!
