Matisse / Summerlicious

I usually do Winterlicious and Summerlicious a few times every season. This time around I only went once to a restaurant called Matisse. Yes, named after the Fauvist and Modernist painter, Henri Matisse. The space had a variety of his works painted on the walls, with frames painted around them, haha.

It was pretty good, but it was nothing exceptional in my opinion. My mom loved it because she said there was a lot of Asian inspiration. The servings were decently sized, but I felt it wasn't impressive enought for the $20 Summerliscious Lunch price-tag.

I might be able to squeeze one more Summerlicious experience before it's over on the 25th.

I don't know if I recommend this place to you. It was okay.
