LOVE! One of the best meals I have had in NYC ever. They took great attention to detail in the service and the food. I have a nut allergy and I was happy to hear that they had a system in place to eliminate cross contamination and I felt safe eating. Plus everything we ate was delicious. The cauliflower appetizer, king pao chicken and the short rib were my favorites. But everything we ate was delicious

Our first time back to our favorite restaurant since Chef Greg took over, and he did not disappoint. The menu is a very nice balance of some Matisse favorites with some new, wonderful creations. The staff are first rate. We will be back.

From beginning to end the dining experience was excellent. We were greeted by Robert and led to a private table. Our servers were attentive and described all specials and menu's perfectly. Prices of specials were not mentioned. We didn't have a problem with that, but other diners may. Every selection we chose, and there were 4 adults, were a hit!! The flavor of each dish kept you coming back for more. From appetizers, salad, entree's and desserts we walked out full and happy. Will definitely return to this Gem!!
