Excellent service and a lovely fireplace. I went Saturday night, which was very busy. Normally I go early evening during the week when it is quieter. The food is superior, not bar food at all. Just delicious. The wait staff is always pleasant and quick. This is a wonderful local spot.

My husband and I stumbled upon this place while taking a walk through Lincoln Park one night. I immediately fell in love as soon as we walked down the stairs into this cozy late night spot. The ambiance, service, cocktails, beer list, food...amazing. I can't stop thinking about this tavern and my next visit. One of the very few spots in the city that I immediately fell hard for upon my first visit. Can't wait to go back!

Matisse is reliably consistent and delicious: food, drinks, atmosphere, service- all top quality every time. When you go: Long Islands (or their many creative craft cocktails) and Wontons are a must! But really, every menu item is delicious; Never a bad meal or experience. Perfect for a cozy, cold weather dinner date or a summer patio lunch with friends.
