    Wonderful place. Extremely romantic and the service is wonderful. The food was not up to the expectations that we had. Is it bad? Not even close. The food is very good but for that price point I left still hungry and felt the value was not there. For $125 per person it just didnt live up to the price. If it was $75-80 per person tue value would have been there. Unfortunately with the service and the amazing ambiance, we wont be returning simply for the value.

    Wonderful meal in every way! The good was outstanding. I had the octopus as one of my 4 choices; it was the most tender octopus that I've had anywhere, hands down! Service was attentive without being hovering. They were very knowledgeable about all of the different courses. Romantic setting.

    Our reservation was for the outdoor igloo ! When we arrived at the igloo it was very cozy and cute. It still quite chilly . The staff were very gracious and accommodating and moved us inside right away . The chefs tasting menu was outstanding . Service was amazing. We will definitely be back !!

    Matisse 167 is a charming unassuming restaurant that serves a prix fixe menu with Creative Contemporary flair. The first courses were spectacular. With high expectations the the next round, third course didn’t live up to expectations. Chef Greg immediately came out to the table and apologized and requested additional feedback. The course was replaced with another dish which was excellent. The dessert course curled our toes and I am still dreaming of the hazelnut caffe latte. Don’t forgot to BYOB! I look forward to returning to see what great creations will be in the next season menu
