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.

Excellent and consistent as usual. This is a great neighborhood restaurant. You are always treated well with wonderful service and every dish is delicious and well presented. The wine list is also excellent and among the lowest mark ups I’ve seen in the area.

This was such a great experience from the moment we walked in, to sharing wine selections and specials. It was a truly wonderful time. The ambience, food quality, drinks, service and beyond. I would recommend this for any special occasion or anniversary that you have where you want to feel like you're in a true escape from all the noise.

I have always enjoyed the food at Matisse but lately I’ve been really disappointed by the noise level in both the front and back rooms and even at the bar in the middle. The noise is so loud it disrupts the enjoyment of the experience. It also seems that they have added tables in the front which requires the waiters to constantly move around the tables in a way that is distracting and uncomfortable. The food remains delicious although the bread only comes toasted and is so dry/stale that one risks cutting gums by biting into it. I am reluctant to return.

One of my secret favorites which is also open on Sunday evenings. Last night the menu and food were excellent and our waiter superb! Kristian was attentive and very polite. I have been going there off and on for many years, but last night was exceptional in every way! Hats off to the chef, too❣️👍👏👏
