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.

I enjoyed my visit to the Red Rooster yesterday. The temperature, taste and quantity of food was very good. Most of the dishes we experienced was excellent. We tasted several of the menu selections. Loved the deviled eggs, fried chicken and jerk salmon . Service was very professional but friendly. The price for the quality of the food we ate was more than welcomed. I loved my experience at Red Rooster and would choose this restaurant again if I’m in this area again.
