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 1 day 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!

Buona cucina di ispirazione franco-provenzale a prezzi ragionevoli considerando quelli medi di New York. Servizio attento e molto gentile. Atmosfera molto friendly. Locale molto rumoroso

Great, professional team of servers and back up people. We never had to wait for our server to ask if we needed anything. They were very polite and respectful. We love NiceMatin and will always go there for breakfast, lunch and dinner and wine later in the evening.

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.
