    Excellent service and delicious food. Unusual to find a brunch restaurant with tablecloths, which we appreciated.

    The food is hotel restaurant food, sadly. This place has changed quality since before COVID times. I was pretty disappointed in everything we ordered for breakfast(eggs, sausage, omelette), even the tea water was lukewarm at the table. Sorry nice matin!

    Arrived for my 3:15 reservation today. I have often ordered the avocado omelette and planned to order it again , but was surprised at the new menu offerings starting 15 minutes later at 3:30 did not include the omelette . Disappointed, I Ordered my favorite autumn salad , but wanting to add more protein, asked if I could add chicken. I was told only if I ordered a second entree of Paillard de Poulet. Not my plan to order two entrees instead of the omelette. I had specifically chosen Nice Matin for my favored food. In future, I will need to only choose my favorite (and doctor recommended )omelette choice earlier in the day or find another omelette offering at another restaurant. Disappointed. Still love that autumn salad

    At one time, Nice Matin had some of the best pomme frites in Manhattan…not any longer. They’ve changed the way they’re prepared from true French pommes frites to limp and undercooked…a bowl of oatmeal has more body
    Nice MatinResponded 5 days ago
    Hi Linda. Thank you for your review and feedback. After a brief trial with this new style of fries and feedback from customers such as yourself, we will be returning to our former pomme frites. We appreciate your ongoing support and wanted to let you know that the best pomme frites are soon to return!
