Café Matisse Nassau Reviews from The Last Year
For many people it might be expensive and portions are
For many people it might be expensive and portions are normally small (French). Food and service is very good.
Creative menu that shouldn't work but does.
The combinations play with your head. Chef is a genius. The restaurant is unique and among the best in the state. I would give it 5 Stars for the food and 4 for service. But, any restaurant that refuses entry to those electing not to take a medical experiment that fails to stop transmission of a disease with myocarditis, Bells Palsy, anaphylaxis, nerve damage, turbo cancer and sudden death as side-effects all for an illness with a 99% recovery rate, does not deserve to be in business. Was a regular for many years, but will never return.
This is a great spot for a date or special occasion.
Dinner is Pre-Fix and the menu changes seasonally. The dining areas are very inviting. The staff was very detail oriented and just enough but not on top of you. Basically the service is impeccable. As for the food everything is timed great and everything we ate was awesome. I thought I might leave hungry initially but that was not the case. Must go to spot for a romantic dinner
New name but same excellent food and service.
Chef Loria's imagination has only gotten better. Another night of fabulous and unique courses. Looking forward to our next visit. Nothing better in Jersey.
Go here for NYC quality dining in a gem in NJ!!! Byob Chef
Go here for NYC quality dining in a gem in NJ!!! Byob Chef Peter is an artist! This place takes me back to a NYC Michelin star dining experience. Everything is so delicious and cooked perfectly and the portions are decent. This a high quality food that is seasonal and the menu is updated often! The ambiance offers two options Morocco or the Italian renaissance vibes...the service is always on point. I never had three different servers ask me for my drink upon seating! The water glass is never empty. It took me about 20 years to get a ressy here and now I know why. I do hope that some amazing chef studies under Peter and takes this place over for him one day...he's been here for a longgggg time and I do not want to be missing Matisse!
Excellent fixe price 4 course menu with many options in a
Excellent fixe price 4 course menu with many options in a relaxed setting with perfect service (Adrian). Duck was outstanding as was the steak. Gave four of us time to chat before and after dinner, too. We will be going back soon!
Another phenomenonal evening.
Prix fix menu if $125 for four courses. Pick one of three choices per course. Best to share with someone . BYZoB. Intimate atmosphere. Attentive service. Enjoyed my choices of food. Chef is top notch. String recommendation for one of the best French restaurants in New Jersey.
Another not very close to us establishment we keep
Another not very close to us establishment we keep returning to because it's been just that good. It's a place to consider for a celebratory occasion, as the dishes are concoctions unlike anything you'll ever come across. As the name implies, it's a French influenced cuisine, but not otherwise very French. It's the elaborate and unusual pairings of tasty elements that draws from the French culinarily arts. Book in advance for your preferred date and time, as it is not a spur of the moment, just drop-in establishment. It is low-key, but upscale dining. It is also BYOB. Be sure to bring top of the line wines though, because the food warrants it. The dining areas offer 3 varied settings. The main room has a chic elegance with faux paintings influenced by the namesake. The front room is newer (it seems to suggest a Moroccan theme) and our least favorite, though that may be only because we enjoy the others just that much. Our preferred dining setting is the garden, but that's only available, of course, seasonally. The menu may seem limited and structured. Don't be fooled though, there's plenty to offer. It used to be one could order anywhere from 3 to 5 courses, where one must be the "sweet" desert course, while the others all came from the "savory" side of the menu. Post-pandemic the options are more limited, where you must partake in 3 savory courses and one sweet course. This is prix fixe at over $100 per person, with occasional additions for certain options, when offered. The menu changes often, though the best of the best are usually kept on as staples. One example of this is this one; be sure to select the Crispy Panko Crusted Crabcake & Chipotle Honey Glazed Shrimp, if seafood is on your list. We never miss it, as there are no words adequate to describe it, but it's a can't miss.
Price per person $125 plus tax and tip.
So it comes to well over $300 for a couple. So this review is based what is norm for this price range. Good: You should not go home hungry. BYOB OK: Plating Service attentive but like rough around the edges for this price range. Not so good: There is a lot of over powering flavors all packed in a single bite. This would be acceptable for a medium end Mexican restaurant. The food is basically a nice restaurant from the 80s and the chef never bothered to learn anything new. We sat in the front portion of the restaurant. Again, the decor probably has not changed since the 80s. In summary: fancy restaurant from the 80s that has not changed anything except keeping up with inflation. I would not ever go back.
This is a great experience, not just a great restaurant.
The food is exciting and Adrien was stellar at talking us through the menu and recommendations. There was an eggplant tepanade in the shrimp dish that I loved, I had no idea I liked foie gras that much and the vanilla cheesecake will live in my heart forever. Can't wait to try more menus here next season!
This is THE restaurant you need to experience!! The food
This is THE restaurant you need to experience!! The food and service was amazing! Adrian, our waiter, was extremely knowledgeable with the menu and helpful in explaining entree choices; we really enjoyed chatting with him
Great place and lovely atmosphere.
Great place, loved the menu! Very good execution of the dishes and authentic Italian cuisine. When in town definitely go there.
One of our very favorite restaurants
Our family has had the privilege of dining at Cafe Matisse for over 25 years. Whenever we travel to Nassau, we eat here at least once or twice and have never been disappointed no matter what we ordered. We were surprised and sad to learn that the owner of 27 years will be retiring and closing the restaurant around August 26. It is very difficult to find a restaurant that is perfection from the cuisine, cocktails, wait staff and the gracious owner. Thank you for many happy memories of dining at Cafe Matisse.
The Best of the Best
This has been our favorite “last night in Nassau” go to for over 30 years. We also have at least one lunch here as well. The menu is creative and has great variety. The wait staff is impeccable. Prompt and always there when you need them to satisfy your slightest whim. We have never been disappointed. We just heard this gem will be permanently closing this summer! We and many others are devastated. Please! Someone! Buy this icon and continue its legacy. There is a very loyal clientele, gourmet chefs and perfectly trained waitstaff. Don’t let this irreplaceable restaurant die. What a terrible shame that would be.
Great for a special occasion
Fabulous food, great service in a quaint environment. I had the proscuitto and melon appetizer and the veal in cream sauce. Everything was delicious. Definitely make a reservation
Fantastic
Great food, great venue, great service. Make sure you sit outside where the osso bucco was off the charts good- a little pricey but not as bad as baha mar

Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
Payouts
Anyone know how increase payout transfer to bank as I can only send $50 a day and they charge $5 for every transaction. There must be a way. I’ve contacted support two days ago and not a reply.

I have some reservations coming up tomorrow that have gotten lots of views but haven’t sold yet. I haven’t made a sale yet since I just joined this week. I keep lowering the price, but am worried they won’t sell. How long did it take you to sell your first reservations? And did you have success being reimbursed by AT for no-show or cancellation fees? Just looking for a little reassurance. Thanks!
