Nice Matin was great. Went there for Thanksgiving. The food and service was very good and it was reasonably priced. In fact I'd say it was an excellent value. The ambience is very pleasant and the noise level was tolerable, in fact not as bad as I would have expected considering the restaurant was full. Overall it was a very positive experience and I would definitely recommend and return.

The service personnel is really excellent. That’s where it stops however. I ordered Shakshuka, which is a dish with eggs over tomatoes in a cast iron pan. What I got was a tasty thickened tomato soup with hard boiled eggs submerged, together with crispy -semi-stale flatbread, which is useless if you try to sop up the tomato sauce. Solid C- My son ordered their Aioli Burger. Once upon a time Nice Matin had a great burger. They called it Five Napkin Burger. That was a great burger. So, my son ordered the burger medium rare. That’s a standard order. First, the burger we got had a meat patty that was rare. And: This Aioli burger thing is ridiculous. Who puts mayonnaise on something hot? The mayo immediately melts into some slush - it’s not good for the consistency of the mayonnaise if you heat it as even a novice would know (that’s why they don’t heat a chicken or tuna sandwhich). As a result, the bun, the meat and the caramelized onions basically slide apart when you pick up the burger. The fries were mediocre. Disaster IMHO. Solid F+.

Really nice brunch. Great drinks. Pastries are fantastic. Low noise level . I liked that they didn’t rush us and there was elbow room. Excellent mezcal bloody and espresso martini!
