An elegant way to celebrate our 10th anniversary. Everything from the unparalleled, but understated service (always there but never hovering) to the most creative, perfectly executed menu. The flavors in each course's selection were a perfect mix and exploded in my mouth. Bold, but subtle. Spoke briefly with the chef/owner, a very personable guy who's obviously passionate about food, presentation, and service. Thank you for a memorable evening.

Rain prevented us from dining in the outdoor garden, but we were seated by the window with a great view of what might have been Food was fabulous. Matisse remains our go-to restaurant for very special occasions.

Had a wonderful dinner at Matisse 167! Great ambiance, delicious food, and wonderfully attentive staff. We sat outdoors in the beautiful garden area. Highly recommend it.
Maryanne
The same eclectic menu we were expecting. Miss the tastings tho. Good luck to the new Chef!

Three courses plus dessert. Two were excellent but tuna was very average, so we were a little disappointed. Also felt rushed at end of meal.

Excellent food and attentive service. Felt a little rushed when we were barely there 1 hour and just finished 3rd course. Asked if we could wait a few minutes for dessert to enjoy the rest of our wine. The desserts still came right out. They accommodated us thankfully. One of our go to special occasion places

Matisse is not just a meal, it's an EXPERIENCE , in the best way. The flavor profiles were out of this world on every single course.

Food was overall great and ambiance was awesome out on the patio. I like to think of myself as a bit of a steak connoisseur and I didn't think the wagyu was amazing. I actually enjoyed everything else on the plate more than the wagyu. $360 is just insane to spend though for 2 people with tax, cc fee, and tip. It was a lot of food but just overpriced imo especially considering that price doesn't include alcohol.

Another lovely dinner at Matisse! The restaurant has 3 charming spaces including a lovely outdoor garden. The food is amazing with nice options for each course of the tasting menu. And the service was wonderful!

It was our first time trying offerings of Chef Greg. We enjoyed a few of the dishes, but it was not anything inspired as it once was. Octopus was tender and flavorful, but a crisp or charred exterior would have enhanced and added a textural element. Scallops were cooked to perfection and sweet; however, gnocchi were gummy and tasteless. Would have been tastier on a bed of creamed corn and grits combo. Duck was overcooked, thin slices and unappetizing; the accompaniments of carrots and onions were room temp and didn't bring anything to the party. Grilled peaches were nice but should be larger pieces and not disintegrating on the plate. My least favorite dish. Layer of sugar on the creme brulee too much, but base was tasty. My husband chose the beets, which he enjoyed, he also had the scallops and also opted not to eat the gnocci. He had the Wagyu sirloin special ($20 surcharge) with creamed spinach (too rich) but he enjoyed the steak. Keylime cheesecake was tasty. Matisse was always a place we went to for special celebrations and why we were there celebrating my retirement. I don't think we'll be rushing to go back anytime soon. As for staff, they were all helpful, pleasant and youthful. Try for yourself and make your own decision. Previous chef Loria's offerings were truly exceptional and memorable and very much missed.
Went to Matisse last night for dinner and it was amazing! We sat outside in the courtyard and it was beautiful. The food and service were fantastic. Overall, such a great night!

Close to perfect. Excellent food and service. Definitely on the expensive side and most annoying the CC fee. We will be back.

My husband and I have been coming here for several years to celebrate our anniversary. The food, ambiance, and service never disappoint. Matisse 167 is truly my favorite restaurant because I know the food will always be excellent.

The three course meal was amazing and we had the entire backyard patio to ourselves during the early evening as the decorative solar lights came on. The night was picturesque and very relaxing.

We have gone about 4-5 times throughout the years. Every time has been great. This last visit was absolutely OUTSTANDING. First grilled octopus I order, ever-anywhere, that is not dried or chewy. The creme bullet with a hint of lemon was also out of the ordinary. So were the crab cakes, etc. The 4 of us were beyond happy with everything. We don't give them 5 stars... We gave them 20!
