Upon entering we were so nicely greeted by the waiter, who we learned later by name of Adrian. He was so informative and knew everything he was talking about. The menu is seasonal and it is just beyond amazing! Great, great, great food. The pairings are just exceptional. I was so sad when it was over! We also got to meet the chef. I’m unable to state my favorite as everything I ate was just unbelievably made to perfection.

Our waiter, Adrian, provided us with a five star service tonight. He greeted us and made everything comfortably, explaining every item on the menu in full detail. It was a great experience and fun night full of laughs. Cannot wait to come back and mix up our options! <3

Everything was simply delicious! Adrian was a blast and made sure we were well-taken care of. The hazelnut coffee was an exquisite end to our delicious 4-course meal. Great food, great company. Will definitely come back again!

My wife made reservations for my birthday, it was absolutely amazing. The food, service and atmosphere all combined for a truly wonderful evening. Our waiter Adrian was outstanding, very passionate but down to earth. The smoked swordfish special was so delicate but flavorful. Highly recommended!

Decided to take my mom to dinner and chose this place randomly. I knew she would enjoy this style menu as we are NYers and have had opportunity to attend multi course chef tastings. Cafe M did not dissapoint. The waitstaff is beyond knowledgeable. Ready with an abundance of food knowledge as well as wonderful anecdotal information about the chef and what lead him to a life involving food.

All of the dishes (we tried nearly all of them), service, and atmosphere were very good. However there was just something missing in order for it to be considered 5* to our party

Came here for a birthday dinner and we were pleasantly surprised by this little gem right in town! The food was so delicious – every dish was carefully crafted, with flavors that complimented each other so well. The only thing better than the food was the service. We were greeted by Adrian, our waiter, who was excellent from beginning to end. His energy was the perfect complement to our delicious meal, and he sent us off with a hazelnut latte to finish our perfect dinner. Thank you Adrian!!!

Cafe Matisse is an amazing gourmet experience that feels like home. Every bite is so yummy and the flavors are paired together like magic. This is my first time at Cafe Matisse and I definitely recommend coming here for the most amazing fine dining in North Jersey. The garden is so beautiful at night its very intimate and romantic. Our waiter Adrian was extremely hospitable and made sure our service was just as extraordinary as the food. Definitely recommend coming here for special events to make memories with loves ones to cherish forever.
