$$$$ • French • Upper West Side
My wife and I have dined at Nice Matin for decades, and had dinner there just last evening. We've always enjoyed the food and charming French atmosphere, but I have to say that over the last few years, the kitchen has absolutely upped its game. The newly added menu items have become even more creative, beautifully plated and consistently delicious, and the prices at Nice Matin, for a restaurant of this excellence, are surprisingly affordable. The service, as always, is professional, friendly and impeccable. It's a lovely way to spend an evening, especially when you hear the "buzz" of people having a wonderful meal and a good time!
