I love this place.
I been coming here for years, and no matter how busy this place gets the food and the service is always great.
The pasta al pesto is incredible and the stuff is just a great group of people.
Great energy!

Dangerious Delivery People!.
You see BREAD delivery people constantly out on the roads on the sidewalks and riding the wrong direction.
Please know that these people are riding 30 or 40 pound restaurant owned bicycles WITH a large wooden box on the front with name BREAD on it.
What do you think this overweight bike with large wooden box would do if it hit say someone walking, or a dog or a baby stroller?
My guess is that there would be an ambulance involved and even though these cyclists are out there and the restaurant is aware of their riding they do not follow one single law. They simply side as fast as they can to where they need to be to get their delivery and their money and then blast back to the restaurant for another round.
I no longer patronlize establishments that have such disregard for public safety. Think of this the next time your walking and a cyclist passes you on the sidewalk.

Great food.
Great food! that is the most important part of this restaurant. the atmosphere works really well for large groups and romantic dinners, although it can be a bit loud for talk :)
Ive been there a million times and the waiters have never been rude to me, however they can be a bit inattentive. also, fri and sat nights there is a long wait, but i highly recommend going for lunch, or dinner on the other days.

Unbelievable!. Unbelievable is the only word that can describe my horrible ordeal!!! We were told to wait half an hour for our table at the bar in the back of the restaurant which seemed like a great idea to avoid the crowd coming in. However, after waiting 45 minutes, the trio of ladies that came half an hour after us were given their table before my table for 3. After being confronted, the host told us that he was sorry that he forgot we were there! UNBELIEVABLE! After waiting a total of 1hr and 15mins, we were finally seated! The service was lackluster and my braised beef tasted like dried roast beef! Unless you like being ignored and eating mediocre food, I suggest avoiding this restaurant at all cost!!

Wonderful food, very kind staff. I walked my puppy over to Bread for their amazing tomato bread soup, and the owner treated us to soup after my puppy played with his beautiful little girl - it was totally unexpected and charming, and the staff simply could not be nicer. This restaurant is neigborhoody and warm, and a great place to hang out and have excellent food. A+++

Awsome!.
Bread! Its that simple. The food is great, the atmosphere is perfect any time of the day and the service is casual and always friendly (Yes, the waitresses are HOT).
I actually crave their soup and breads when I'm away. I recommend it to all my friends visiting NYC and they love it too! Its also pretty cool to be eating next to celebreties and rock legends. Very New York!

Great meal with a great atmosphere. Bread, located in Soho, is a great place to grab a bite to eat in a very relaxed environment. I would highly recommend it locals and out-of-towners that don't want to eat at a tourist hot spot. The service is great, you can see that the owners are there on a daily basis creating a friendship with the crowd. If you are looking for a great, affordable meal then Bread is absolutely the place for you.

AMAZING. I've been here mant times and when I went here with a date recently, I had a wonderful time. Vibe was great (despite the fact that the waitstaff are beautiful, the service was great), music was amazing (what place plays Bill Withers and Pete Rock after one another), food came out promptly, and service was efficient. Price is extreamly reasonable. Be sure to get the lamb pasta and brie tartines when you go there. Experience will be more worth it if you go on a night when Laura (curly haired Latina gir) and Meeka (very pretty Asian bartender) are working; they vibe off of eachother and make the place the place that it is. I am proud to say I am a regular there.
