    Matisse is a wonderful restaurant. Great food and wonderful ambiance. Tonight there was a party upstairs and the service was unusually slow. Too bad the kitchen didn’t prepare for the extra people so everyone would not have to wait so long. Please do not post!

    I asked for a quiet table and, as a result, we were seated in a small, pleasant upstairs room. I can't attest to the noise level elsewhere in the restaurant, but we enjoyed wonderful food, excellent service, and the rare ability to have a nice conversation.

    We’ve eaten there a number and unfortunately our latest visit was not up to the standards we’ve come to expect from the restaurant. Food was unsatisfactory and service was spotty. They did make an effort to compensate, however.

    Food was really delicious as always. And the owner/ host was very gracious. It was Saturday evening- which was very busy. The server tried his best- but he definitely could have used another staff member to lighten his load. I think it’s very difficult to get enough staff in DC at restaurants now. We enjoyed our meal and plan to return. Highly recommend.
