What a nice dinner. Place is very cute. Was sitting near an area where the staff prepped things. So plenty stopped and chatted near our table. Was not a fan of that. Also was not a fan of the squash risotto. Too sweet and too earthy at the same time. Not a great combo. We swapped out for the escargot that was amazing. Waitress was adorable and very knowledgeable. Would go back again however I would skip the risotto.

The food is hotel restaurant food, sadly. This place has changed quality since before COVID times. I was pretty disappointed in everything we ordered for breakfast(eggs, sausage, omelette), even the tea water was lukewarm at the table. Sorry nice matin!

Arrived for my 3:15 reservation today. I have often ordered the avocado omelette and planned to order it again , but was surprised at the new menu offerings starting 15 minutes later at 3:30 did not include the omelette . Disappointed, I Ordered my favorite autumn salad , but wanting to add more protein, asked if I could add chicken. I was told only if I ordered a second entree of Paillard de Poulet. Not my plan to order two entrees instead of the omelette. I had specifically chosen Nice Matin for my favored food. In future, I will need to only choose my favorite (and doctor recommended )omelette choice earlier in the day or find another omelette offering at another restaurant. Disappointed. Still love that autumn salad
