Cafe Matisse, Rutherford

Cafe Matisse is a French restaurant located in Rutherford, New Jersey. It’s a BYOB restaurant, which means it doesn’t serve any alcoholic drinks, although you’re free to bring your bottles. You can save up on alcohol costs but doesn’t mean a big deal since the fixed price options for the meals are quite expensive. For the fixed-price menu options, a three-course meal costs $75 while a four-course meal costs $95. Lastly, a five-course costS $115.

Some of their best sellers include the artichoke hearts that are pan-fried and drizzled with parmesan, the thinly-cut slices of Cajun tuna and Hamachi Crudo, and for dessert, a vanilla bean cheesecake with lemon. Dinner for two usually costs around $225 but remember that doesn’t include alcohol costs yet, which you have to cover separately.
