Best Of: Sidewalk Seating, DateHaving just returned here last night I must say I do enjoy the place. It was another of everyone's favorite, word of mouth tips. I first learned of it through a friend who's friend works here behind the bar. Let me tell you she knew exactly what she was talking about. Whether you are sitting inside or outside it is quite comfortable and makes you feel like you are there alone and they are all available just for you. Amazing because it is always crowded when I am there.
Always comforting and relaxing the atmosphere is laid back and the drinks just right. This would be an excellent date place although some might consider it pricey for a first date.
Hours and the current day's specials are always listed on their webpage. Note that they are open for breakfast, lunch, late lunch, and dinner with a brunch on the weekends.
My favorite after a couple of samplings of things is by far the steak frites. They do cook it a little more rare than you'd expect for the stated cooking preference so if you expect it one way you might considering stepping up the instructions one level. I ate what was delivered without complaint and it was great.
The wine list and mojitos here are also good. Leave a Comment Theme: FrenchPrice: US$21-30 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: 201 West 79th Street.Phone: 212-873-6423Directions: North West corner of 79th and Amsterdam.Website: www.nicematinnyc.com

I’ve been to Nice Martin on two separate occasions and both times I was not disappointed. This first time I sat outside on a nice summer evening and the second time we decided to have our dinner inside as it was a bit on the windy side. The wait staff are courteous and helpful. The vibe is laid back and comfy and you don’t even realize how quickly time passes. You don’t feel rushed which is nice since many restaurants are quick to bring you the check as soon as they take away your plates.
They have a really nice wine list and their drinks are just as nice. I’ve had both their Duck Magret which was accompanied with turnips and carrots with date puree and roasted pears and their Steak Frites which is their aged black angus steak with béarnaise, both excellent choices. Leave a Comment

We had a breakfast and a dinner at Nice Matin.
The breakfast menu has a lot of omelettes , but there were many other choices. Prices were very reasonable.
The dinner menu had entrees less than
$ 20 but you may want an appetizer if you choose the less pricey entrees.
Very popular with lots of outdoor tables means that it may be hard to get a place if the weather is bad.
We tried sole milanese , grilled bass and potato gnocchi's .
These guys have " The Wine List". There are four pages to the list. Turn to page four. As a lady at the next table said " Are you Kidding".
It would appear that the owner has access to wine from President Kennedy's Private Collection which we assume was bought by some syndicate .
They have French Bordeaux's from 1865.
We did not choose a bottle of wine from page four. Leave a Comment Theme: FrenchPrice: US$21-30 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: 201 West 79th St. ( 79th & Amsterdam )Directions: UPPER WEST SIDE

I loved how the French-speaking waiters treated me like a lady (unlike some people I know!). This restaurant has a true Mediterranean feel and its wine list is extraordinary.
Make sure you don't go with a bunch of medical doctor or UN friends or else the splitting of the bill can get nasty. You'll find yourself in a nuclear-arms-race situation and end up paying $120 for a salad, risotto and water.
I've eaten here twice and the salads tend to impress me. Leave a Comment Theme: FrenchPrice: US$41 and up » Currency ConverterComparison: most expensiveAddress: 201 W. 79th StDirections: Upper East Side

I do believe that this is quickly becoming one of my favorite restaurants in NYC (given the fact that I have now eaten there twice in 3 days).
The restaurant is named after the largest daily newspaper in the South of France. It is spacious and bustling. There was still a wait for a table at 8pm on a Sunday night. You can always eat at the bar if you are starving and do not want to wait.
Unlike in France, the wait staff is friendly and attentive. Even Fred the sommlier did not make us feel intimidated by the wine list.
The cuisine is French provencial and Mediterranian with a twist. The three-star chef hails from the now defunct Sign of the Dove, and his specials are worth paying attention to.
You must try their Five Napkin Burger (my order) which comes topped with comté cheese, smeared with aioli and served with a heap of rosemary-flecked fries. Also a must is the hazelnut mousse dessert!
