We had an amazing breakfast at Nice Matin! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. The food was fresh, flavorful, and exceeded our expectations. On top of that, Juliana provided outstanding five-star service. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome from the moment we arrived. Thank you for such a wonderful dining experience. We will definitely be back the next time we're in New York!

Oh my gosh, the best duck cone I’ve had in my entire life! Sadly, it was too late for me to order the chocolate soufflé with the anglaise sauce it takes 20 minutes to make because they obviously make it fresh. It’s a French restaurant. The service was great. The place is clean. The food is fresh and delicious. Just note if you get there at 9:30 they will rush you because they close at 10 PM and they’re not joking about that if you like wine their wine menu is an entire book.

Charming, delicious, nice. I first learned about this place when I stayed at the hotel Lucerne, where it’s located. Me and my daughters always had a delicious meal here. And today I stopped by for breakfast - healthy and yummy and cozy. I think it’s worth giving a try. I like spots for breakfasts that are not on the go, but that are offering nice ambiance in addition to the food.

Yummy breakfast near the museum of natural history. It gets crowded so I recommend making a reservation. There’s outside seating for nice days. The hosts are great, the waitstaff a bit inattentive though. Food was delicious. The French toast was very nicely prepared with strawberries. The eggs Benedict were good, the poached eggs very skillfully done. Even the bacon was good! Recommended.

Nice UWS breakfast place with some all-American options & where you might catch a morning celebrity sighting like we did. Have done breakfast/brunch here quite a few times. Consistent service, not extremely attentive but good enough. Menu is varied but not extensive, a bit overvalued. Have gotten the burger here too for dinner. Was good, overpriced maybe. Really good eggs Benedict, disappointing French toast ironically. A lot of Italian dishes on the menu strangely. Wouldn’t go out of my way to return, wouldn’t not recommend it either. Make a reservation for peak hours. Weekends tables are hard to get straight away. Mostly families & older patrons. Mostly a meh experience.
