Decent food, good service, pleasant atmosphere
I live around the corner from Matisse and my wife and I, and another couple finally got around to trying it last week. I think what stands out most is the atmosphere here; not overly romantic, but definintely sexy. I would undoubtedly take a date here if I were not married. The food was solid and certainly flavorful, nothing really stood out, but also no one had anything to complain about (and my friend is a chef). That being said, you will not leave hungry- the pot of mussels my wife got was nothing short of tremendous. The service was very good, I never I had to ask for my water to be refilled, they gave us extra bread for dipping, and were constantly clearing the pot of empty mussel shells. In short, there are a lot of similar restaurants in NYC, but coming here definitely is not a mistake.

Disappointing experience
Poor service . Waiters take your orders and then forget to give the order to the cook.... We waited 2 hours to be served. No appologies from staff. Food is not very good either.

A little bit of Paris right next door...
There are many French bistros in the city...and Matisse is one worth putting on the rotation. Now that they have outdoor seating it's even more enjoyable. The food is hearty French fair and I keep going back to try different dishes. They make a fine martini and have drink specials so that sitting at the bar can be a fun way to spend time.

Below average...at best
Although the setting is lovely, the food did not taste fresh or well prepared. With so many great French bistros in the city, there is no reason to return to Matisse.

Best restaurant in the city
I am a regular at Matisse restaurant and I definitely reccomend this place where the food is absolutely delightful and far from a rip off compare to many restaurant in the city. They even offer a $20, 3 courses prix fixe with very good food like coq au vin, mussels, floating island and many more...

Disappointing
They charged us 90 dollars each for a dinner party of 16 people. I had better dinners in airplane (no exaggeration). To ad insult to injury, they forced us to pay cash and claimed the machine can only take a few credit cards. The waiter was very nice and apologetic. That's my story and I am sticking with it.

Cosy Neighbourhood Bistro
I like the feel of this bistro and the food is mostly tasty. Service is courteous although they took a while to get our check. I tried two of their specialties: Mussels Marinieres and "Julia Child" Beef Bourguignon but found them to be a lil too salty for me... It was a nice experience, nevertheless.
