    Late Lunch on President’s Day with less of a crowd, so it was quieter than usual. April was a great server and our favorite booth was available. We’re from AZ so whenever we stay at The Lucerne Hotel we come into Nice Matin once or twice. See you next trip and thanks again, Ralph S.

    CL is an old gem. In fact, I can't even remember the first time I went, and recently, started going there for breakfast. Service is always great (was exceptionally great today) and food is never disappointing. It's a rare eatery in NYC that has survived and thrived. I saw today it was voted one of the best by Vogue but I did not need that confirmation. Please stay wonderful as you are.

    If you are debating on where to eat tonight, don’t think twice just book the reservation. My husband and I have been to the top Omakasa restaurants in NYC and this place tops them all. The food is incredible, the atmosphere is calming, and the service is top notch. I swear that you will be talking about your dinner for weeks to come. You won’t regret it.
