From the moment you arrive at Matisse a beautiful restaurant with a stunning outdoor area you feel at home. The service was second to none. The food was excellent. Hamachi crude was beyond perfection. The second course of scallops and crab cakes were also excellent. The scallops had a smoky taste and the crab cakes were full of delicious sweet crab. I had the duck and my wife had the tuna as our third course and both were very delicious. My bananas foster crème brûlée was a great way to end the dinner. My wife had the cheese cake with a cloud like whipped cream. From beginning to end the service was impeccable.

Another great meal at Matisse! Great food. Great experience. Unfortunately it was a rainy night so we couldn't be outside. That would have been the perfect experience. It remains our favorite restaurant.

Business dinner. Party of 2. Sat outside as the garden is beautiful and feels very European. The interior is beautiful but felt too romantic for a business dinner for just 2 people. Food and service were excellent. Definitely a little pricey.
