Fun Fact: you can still order the 5 Napkin Burger here since this is where it was originally invented by Chef Andy D’Amico. It’s delicious! Also the outside is very dog friendly!
Vanessa MacedoJune 7, 2015The location is excellent, and a very good option among the various other places around UWS for a Sunday brunch (they have plenty of room, so I didn't have to wait for a table)
Wine SpectatorJuly 14, 2014Nice Matin's cuisine is a true reflection of a Southern France bistro. Classic Provençal dishes such as Grilled Tuna Niçoise Salad are complemented by 150 wine selections from Mediterranean France. Read more
- Jodi LustigNovember 28, 2019Always delicious with a spectacular wine selection, and the original home of the Five Napkin Burger, it's also a great place to do Thanksgiving. There's something for everyone, even non turkey fans.
Robert GildayAugust 20, 2018The service was great. Food was excellent (I had dinner there), but it’s their wine list that’s the big winner
Shrutika SachdevSeptember 3, 2012Divine Lemon Poppy Seed Scone and choc crossoint in the Brunch Basket! Lovely hint of orange in the Banana French Toast and a nice soft smoked salmon scramble. Defo a UWS Brunch Must!!!
Andrew COctober 11, 2017Great overall modern French restaurant... small-ish menu , but wonderful choices - chickpea fries were delicious!!!! Very loud, since corner of major crosstown street, especially with windows open
Cara LauMay 14, 2015This was a really good place for brunch and sitting outside on a patio. They have excellent food and a diverse menu.
Reliably delicious dinner, strong martinis, and awesome breakfasts -- these guys know how to cook an egg.
Always thoroughly impressed by both the food & service here. Tuna tartar appy w/ avocado on top=delish, as well as their Valentine's Day wknd specials (lobster soup appy & filet mignon entree)=YUM!
Jacqueline ChanAugust 20, 2018Nice lunch sets and brisk service. I had the mussels for lunch. It was tasty and juicy!
Leslie TAugust 6, 2013This UWS gem has a fantastic selection of quality wines - French, Italian, Spanish, German, etc. Wine Spectator's James Molesworth visits often!
Great dining experience. One of the better restaurants on the UWS. Dinner tonight was excellent. And appreciated the unhurried and unpretentious service. Hanger steak was delicious.
Matthew SpectorNovember 22, 2015A hotel restaurant-like atmosphere but a great continental breakfast deal that might be the most affordable of its kind on the Upper West Side.
Carole Leigh PodellJanuary 16, 2012Their brunch is lovely but in the evening, if you can get a seat at their little bar, it's a great place for sipping champagne and relaxing in the winter.- Kenneth SchwartzJanuary 27, 2018My brother and I had a fantastic dinner. The parmigiana lamb chops amazing as well as the escargot
Sercan ÖzdemirciApril 3, 2018It’s a French style restaurant. I advise Avocado Omelette dor breakfast. Delicious and satisfying.
JanaFebruary 10, 2018The fresh baked muffins they serve here are pure heaven. They only serve them on the weekends.
Katie CongletonAugust 24, 2015Best scones (lemon poppy seed) I've ever had! Kind of pricey but the portions are solid
Carrie SalemJanuary 20, 2014Escargot was the best I've had in America. Mussels were amazing.. Big portion amazing sauce
Joshua BoggsDecember 29, 2017This place had a unique French-Mediterranean mix. For brunch try the lamb sausage scramble.
One of the best wine lists anywhere, food consistently great. Love this place!
Setra MusicDecember 19, 2014Te short rib ravioli is delicious! It's a lot of food so bring a friend and share.
Always excellent. Accommodating to families especially during early dinner hours. No changing tables.
Great outdoor cafe that wraps around the corner. Brunch is popular but I also like their weekday lunch menu. Try the mediterranean lamb salad.- Yannick HaineaultFebruary 13, 2010During a visit in NYC, we decided to try Nice Matin for breakfast. The food and the service are awesome! I had the Asparagus and goat cheese omelet and it was just perfect.
Rachel GruberJune 30, 2013The asparagus and goat cheese omelette is one of the best omlettes I've had in NYC.
Linda AliceaJune 2, 2010Everything here is great. I've never had a bad meal. They have a beautiful soft shell crab dish that is light and summery. Get it while they're in season!
The Tuna Tartare and Butter Braised Cod are light and delicious!
Yohay ElamAugust 29, 2010If you walk around the Upper West Side, this corner restaurant is great for breakfast, brunch, very late breakfast, etc. Check out the espresso martini.- nantini rauchDecember 23, 2011merquez with mustard, bernaise and fries, pasta with jalepeno, broccoli rabe, marscapone and bacon.
- Ernie BelloFebruary 2, 2018Went here for restaurant week. The food was just ok, nothing special or too flavorful. Not a good value, we left feeling it was overpriced.
Trae FAugust 23, 2015Brunch was just ok. The portions are generous. This place has the feel of a spruced up diner. Probably won't return.
Alec GAugust 14, 2011GLUTEN-FREE EGGS BENEDICT FTW! Next time must get the French fries which looked so good.
Kacie LynFebruary 29, 2012Their orange juice as well as lemon-poppy scone are absolutely delightful!
