Café Matisse in Rutherford, NJ is a lovely place for a special dinner with family. We sat in their pretty garden filled with flowers and stayed from sunset until the stars came out. The inside is just as charming, with fun and artistic decorations.

This place is amazing! The food was, as expected, delicious! The ambiance was and the decor was rich, deep colors - matron and gold and royal blue. And the music for the vibe perfectly. Loved every second of our dinner there!
We enjoyed a sensational dinner at Matisse 167.
We have been coming here for almost 20 years, but this was our first time here since Chef Greg Powers purchased the restaurant from the amazing Chef Peter Loria. I think Peter would be proud. We enjoyed hamachi crudo with chili oil, teriyaki, and was

Most memorable part of Nassau
We saw the tiny little sign for the restaurant pointing toward the street near Parliament on our first night in town and decided to try it out. We are so glad we did-it was the most memorable experience we had in Nassau. The restaurant is lovely ins

Matisse 167 was a great culinary experience.
Each course was unique and the ambiance of the outside garden made it a romantic evening. Adrian provided us wonderful service from helping us choose which dish we should get when we got stuck between two to bringing an upbeat energy between each cou
The room was ver small and too loud.
My appetizer (tuna sushi) had a little bug in it. When I brought it to the waiter's attention he seemed upset and asked me if I wanted another one (I was expecting him to take it back and bring another one). The portions were super small and they too

For many people it might be expensive and portions are normally small (French). Food and service is very good.
Creative menu that shouldn't work but does.
The combinations play with your head. Chef is a genius. The restaurant is unique and among the best in the state. I would give it 5 Stars for the food and 4 for service. But, any restaurant that refuses entry to those electing not to take a medical e
This is a great spot for a date or special occasion.
Dinner is Pre-Fix and the menu changes seasonally. The dining areas are very inviting. The staff was very detail oriented and just enough but not on top of you. Basically the service is impeccable. As for the food everything is timed great and everyt
New name but same excellent food and service.

This is a great experience, not just a great restaurant.
The food is exciting and Adrien was stellar at talking us through the menu and recommendations. There was an eggplant tepanade in the shrimp dish that I loved, I had no idea I liked foie gras that much and the vanilla cheesecake will live in my hear

This is THE restaurant you need to experience!! The food and service was amazing! Adrian, our waiter, was extremely knowledgeable with the menu and helpful in explaining entree choices; we really enjoyed chatting with him
Great place and lovely atmosphere.
Great place, loved the menu! Very good execution of the dishes and authentic Italian cuisine. When in town definitely go there.
One of our very favorite restaurants
Our family has had the privilege of dining at Cafe Matisse for over 25 years. Whenever we travel to Nassau, we eat here at least once or twice and have never been disappointed no matter what we ordered. We were surprised and sad to learn that the o

This has been our favorite “last night in Nassau” go to for over 30 years. We also have at least one lunch here as well. The menu is creative and has great variety. The wait staff is impeccable. Prompt and always there when you need them to sati
Great for a special occasion
Fabulous food, great service in a quaint environment. I had the proscuitto and melon appetizer and the veal in cream sauce. Everything was delicious. Definitely make a reservation
Fantastic
Great food, great venue, great service. Make sure you sit outside where the osso bucco was off the charts good- a little pricey but not as bad as baha mar
Nice dinner spot
Great atmosphere, service and food. Octopus salad and guava panna cotta was especially good. We went early, 6pm, and beat the dinner crowd.
Would come again & again.
Absolutely loved it here ! We had a celebratory 39th wedding anniversary dinner. I wish we came here the next day instead of The Greycliff, which was horrible. I had a spinach gnocchi and they were so light and fluffy in a cream sauce with walnuts
Lobster pasta to die for!
This place was amazing! The lobster pasta was to die for! The atmosphere was super relaxed and it was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon!
Sliding in the wrong direction
Mathys is surfing the wave of high popularity for service, food and surroundings. Unfortunately, our last visit was welcomed by a cold and borderline arrogant attendant until he recognized a valued returning customer and apologized profusely. Porti
Great Restaurant
Excellent restaurant with great food, atmosphere and service was spot on! We truly enjoyed our dinner last night! True Italian food.
Connect with users posting reservations for Café Matisse Nassau
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Café Matisse Nassau. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Café Matisse Nassau at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Café Matisse Nassau page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Café Matisse Nassau to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Café Matisse Nassau!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
