Matisse - Washington, D.C.

We go often to Matisse and it's done a great job maintaining quality over the years. We sat outside on a lovely evening. I had mussels and grilled branzino fillet, which were both very good. My wife was less happy with her tuna tartar and sauteed soft shell crabs. The waiter was surprisingly inept with opening the wine bottle and whisked away my glass with a piece of cork without offering to replace the wine I was tasting.

Wonderful restaurant. Been there at least 100 times. Always delighted to go back!

Service was very slow; server did not seem that interested in doing his job; we miss the old Matisse: the Matisse of yummy food, cheerful servers, reasonable prices, and comfortable atmosphere.

I really enjoyed dining at Matisse. It is a nice neighborhood restaurant. The service is outstanding and the ambiance just right. The food and the architectural design of the place are great. I look forward to future visits to Matisse.

Great place and outstanding service. The menu has many nice selections.
