Fun Fact: you can still order the 5 Napkin Burger here since this is where it was originally invented by Chef Andy D’Amico. It’s delicious! Also the outside is very dog friendly !

Vanessa Macedo

The location is excellent, and a very good option among the various other places around UWS for a Sunday brunch (they have plenty of room, so I didn't have to wait for a table)

Wine Spectator

Nice Matin's cuisine is a true reflection of a Southern France bistro . Classic Provençal dishes such as Grilled Tuna Niçoise Salad are complemented by 150 wine selections from Mediterranean France. Read more

Jodi Lustig

Always delicious with a spectacular wine selection , and the original home of the Five Napkin Burger , it's also a great place to do Thanksgiving. There's something for everyone, even non turkey fans.

Robert Gilday

The service was great. Food was excellent (I had dinner there), but it’s their wine list that’s the big winner

Shrutika Sachdev

Divine Lemon Poppy Seed Scone and choc crossoint in the Brunch Basket! Lovely hint of orange in the Banana French Toast and a nice soft smoked salmon scramble . Defo a UWS Brunch Must!!!

Andrew C

Great overall modern French restaurant ... small-ish menu , but wonderful choices - chickpea fries were delicious!!!! Very loud , since corner of major crosstown street, especially with windows open

Reliably delicious dinner , strong martinis , and awesome breakfasts -- these guys know how to cook an egg .

This UWS gem has a fantastic selection of quality wines - French, Italian, Spanish, German, etc. Wine Spectator's James Molesworth visits often!

Rosemary Abendroth

Great dining experience. One of the better restaurants on the UWS. Dinner tonight was excellent. And appreciated the unhurried and unpretentious service. Hanger steak was delicious.

Matthew Spector

A hotel restaurant-like atmosphere but a great continental breakfast deal that might be the most affordable of its kind on the Upper West Side.

Carole Leigh Podell

Their brunch is lovely but in the evening, if you can get a seat at their little bar , it's a great place for sipping champagne and relaxing in the winter.

Kenneth Schwartz

My brother and I had a fantastic dinner . The parmigiana lamb chops amazing as well as the escargot

Sercan Özdemirci

It’s a French style restaurant . I advise Avocado Omelette dor breakfast . Delicious and satisfying.

Jana

The fresh baked muffins they serve here are pure heaven. They only serve them on the weekends.

Vince Frisina

The lamb salad was hearty, flavorful,and didn’t weigh me down at brunch .

Spicy lamb w/scrambled eggs is delicious.
