New menu with delicious food, friendly service, and great prices in a cosy beautiful atmosphere!
Their pancakes are the best me and my family have ever tried!
From comfort bites like burgers to seafood like fresh oysters or tuna carpaccio, as well as the tastiest vegetarian and vegan vegetable tarts I have ever had, Nisi has something for everyone. Kid-friendly, cozy atmosphere, and live music on summer Saturdays make it our favorite spot year-round.

Our favorite spot on the island. We’re so glad to have such a cozy and delicious restaurant here. The food is great, and the staff are always polite and professional. We especially appreciate Joy and Marzhana- they always know exactly what we need. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a good meal and relax.

Cozy little diner on roosevelt island, appears to be brunch focused. Drinks are reasonably priced but food was higher than average. Service was friendly.
-Steak and cheese was unfortunate, lacked any protein and too cheesy. 2/5
-Chicken Parmigiana was decent with a rustic tomato sauce and portioned well 3/5

The icing in the cake was 2.50 service charge while dining in. This was a miss for food but drinks and vibe could possibly make up for it.

The food is delicious. We have had chicken soup, BLT, grilled cheese, many desserts and never disappointed. The service is great, kind and attentive. The trivia SUCKS. Y’all need to up the trivia —use “team trivia” format to make it more fun and move quicker.

I stumbled in here for dinner. The staff were very nice and welcoming. The pics when I looked it up gave me a different experience than when I was in. Granted, I didn’t look at the menu ahead of time and eventually felt like I was at a diner. Nothing wrong with diners, I just wasn’t expecting it here. I enjoyed the vegan menu and the passion fruit lemonade was out of this world

Abdullah is absolutely fantastic! He has been our waiter since April! We come to Nisi’ s every week. He is smart,quick, attentive and very friendly. He is the Best waiter anyone could have. He brings our food in a timely fashion and always comes by our table to see if the food is ok and to ask if we need anything else.

You never know what you’re going to get here because the menu changes faster than at any restaurant I’ve been to before. I remember when the old Nisi, before they tried again to be upscale fine dining, could actually make a decent grilled cheese, but not now, not even a decent grilled cheese. Today’s grilled cheese “on thick bread” (why?) had cheese that wasn’t melted. And the sandwich wasn’t hot enough. And the fries (usually are good) weren’t hot. And the place was empty so what’s your excuse Nisi? What a screw up.

I used to think the owner at least understood diners, he certainly has no understanding of fine dining (note to owner, you *cannot* do fine dining with cafeteria silverware and paper napkins. CANNOT.) So I sent half the grilled cheese back to heat it more, and it came back burnt. Clearly they fired the upscale chef, but who did they replace him with? Yikes. Then I asked for more ketchup and a refill on my drink (why are you sending ketchup in little cups (?), it will never be enough so just send the bottle, remember you are NOT fine dining.) It took two requests with two different servers (remember they were close to empty) and in time the ice tea showed up, but not the ketchup, that took more work. Explain that please.

Note, you are offering a dish called “Crocket Monsieur”. Seriously? You can’t even proof read your own menu, it’s a French dish called Croque Monsieur and there is nothing called a Crocket Monsieur. Man, this is your business treat it with some respect. Or….maybe it doesn’t deserve that.

Now I could review the salad Nicoise from a couple of weeks ago when it had yet another menu, this one a hybrid between attempted fine dining and upscale diner, but it’s no longer on the menu…. or is it? The presentation and dressing was nice, the tuna was of below average quality, tough, precooked medium rare from like yesterday, and the soft-ish boiled egg (a nice custardy yolk) was freezing cold so also cooked the day before? But nothing in that salad was cooked to order, lazy.

You have no clue what fine dining is, and when you tried again to do this you earned yourself a health grade of B and angered the people who liked you. What are you trying to do? Kill yourself off and your customers too? Maybe rename your place “Nada.”

On a positive note, the servers were friendly.
