    We have been going to the original Cafe Matisse for almost 30 years. When we heard that a new chef owner had taken over we had to give it a try. Matisse 167 did not disappoint. Chef Greg Power has definitely kept the tradition of inventive delicious dishes that former owner Peter Loria had established. The food, service, and of course the ambiance is as special as it has always been. We definitely will be coming back

    Everything about this place is spectacular. It is quite pricey, this is a place you go to on special occasions but it is worth it. Do not expect to get huge portions either. You do not leave hungry, but satisfied and in a good way. Everyone is so friendly and goes above and beyond to ensure you are having a great experience and you will. It is BYOB.

    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.

    Alright, buckle up, because I’m about to spill the beans on Matisse 167 in East Rutherford. This isn’t just dining—it’s a full-blown gourmet experience that hits you in the taste buds like a symphony of flavors orchestrated by food gods. From the moment we sat down, the staff was next-level exceptional, anticipating every need like they had a crystal ball. Keith, our server, was the MVP, making sure everything was flawless. Seriously, this guy must moonlight as a mind reader or something. And then there’s Greg—the chef. Oh man, this dude’s not just a chef; he’s an artist with a side of wizardry. He came out into the dining room, checking on everyone like a culinary superhero. By the time we finished our four-course Michelin-star-level meal, all I wanted to do was shake this guy’s hand and thank him for putting together a dining experience that went way beyond anything I could’ve dreamed up. Every bite was like winning the flavor lottery. Pro tip: it’s BYOB, so grab a bottle (or three) of your favorite wine and prepare to have your culinary socks knocked off. Matisse 167 isn’t just a meal—it’s an event. Five stars, two thumbs up, and a standing ovation. Go there. You’re welcome.
