    The service personnel is really excellent. That’s where it stops however. I ordered Shakshuka, which is a dish with eggs over tomatoes in a cast iron pan. What I got was a tasty thickened tomato soup with hard boiled eggs submerged, together with crispy -semi-stale flatbread, which is useless if you try to sop up the tomato sauce. Solid C- My son ordered their Aioli Burger. Once upon a time Nice Matin had a great burger. They called it Five Napkin Burger. That was a great burger. So, my son ordered the burger medium rare. That’s a standard order. First, the burger we got had a meat patty that was rare. And: This Aioli burger thing is ridiculous. Who puts mayonnaise on something hot? The mayo immediately melts into some slush - it’s not good for the consistency of the mayonnaise if you heat it as even a novice would know (that’s why they don’t heat a chicken or tuna sandwhich). As a result, the bun, the meat and the caramelized onions basically slide apart when you pick up the burger. The fries were mediocre. Disaster IMHO. Solid F+.

    Outstanding dinner before a show at the Beacon Theater. Early dinner time was perfect as the restaurant filled up fast. Great cocktails, wine and food. Will definitely return with family and friends!
