Only had one night in Napier and so glad we booked dinner at Matisse. The food was super tasty, creative and well booked. The wine menu was clearly impressive and service was friendly and really professional. Definitely recommend a visit. We had the pork belly, lamb ribs, Argentina beef, homemade focaccia and vegetables… yes we ordered alot and gobbled it all up 🙃 Price per person $60–70 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes House Baked Mediterranean Focaccia

Always enjoyed Matisse! Great staff here and selection of wines from all over the world. Their platter was beautifully presented and so yummy, great for 4 people. The tempura oyster mushroom was fun to try too. Will be back :) I miss the old cocktail selection though.

We were a party of 4. 3 of us received our drinks. We waited a considerable amount of time. we asked the waitress who took our order when the other drink might be coming. The waitress assured us it was on its way. We waited yest longer (the 3 of us in possession of drinks had stopped drinking as we thought we would have finished before the awaited drink arrived). We then asked another waiter about the drink, and he said he'd find out. We waited yet longer ...... Finally, the long awaited drink ( at least 30 minutes) arrived without explanation or apology. I asked what the reason might have been for the delay, and the waiter said it hadn't been printed out on the system. Only then did we get a fleeting 'sorry'. Awful service!

I had been eyeing this place up. The menu looked fantastic and it certainly delivered. The South American beef and the Tuna were our favourites. The staff were very friendly, attentive, passionate and knowledgeable. The drinks were great, something a little different. The best thing was definitely how personable the staff were.

My first time here for dinner. And I very quickly realised that it is not really a dinner place. It’s more like a wine bar. And they serve you food / tappas but the price for the serving size is astronomical. I had the eye fillet for 28$ and this was a tiny piece of steak cut into 4 pieces approx. also had prawn dumplings 4 for 22$. And last crab (which was battered) 2 pieces for 27$. A drink for 19$. Taste wise it was ok, nothing special to be honest. There are better places in napier for a similar price range where not only one feels full but for this price gets a proper meal. Total bill 96$ and then I had to go have a burger to fill me self up :) Unfortunately this is not a dinner place, more of a snack place and that too extremely expensive. I would not recommend it !!

Went in for a dinner on a Thursday night, the gentleman who served us was absolutely lovely, smile on his face and cracking jokes. Tappas menu was great with such bold flavors coming out. Only down fall was drinks being forgotten because they were either busy or understaffed I'm not sure. They were very apologetic about the situation and ensured we had a good time. Will definitely be coming back. Price per person $50–60 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5
