Reviews
The vitrine where pastries are usually displayed was completely covered with a canvas, with tall sculptures placed in front of it to keep customers at a distance. The place felt deserted; in one section of the dining room, chairs were stacked upside down on several tables, adding to the impression that the restaurant was not fully operational.
We ordered café lattes but were informed that the espresso machine was not working and that only drip coffee was available. While we accepted this, the coffee tasted acidic, as if it had been sitting on the warmer for quite some time.
For food, we ordered the egg and bacon breakfast and a granola parfait. The eggs were overcooked and served with a salad, but no toast or other accompaniments. The granola parfait consisted mostly of yogurt, with only a few flakes of cereal.
Overall, Madame Matisse was clearly not at its best today. We plan to return in a few days to see whether this was an isolated incident, as we genuinely hope this establishment continues to be as successful as it has been in the past. The service industry is unforgiving, and maintaining consistency is crucial—once negative experiences begin to accumulate, they can quickly harm a restaurant’s reputation and make recovery difficult.
Wonderful food at very reasonable prices. We sure will be back.
