Editorial Review for Bread Tribeca – by Stephanie Rosenbaum
The Scene
White brick walls, granite-gray banquettes and stripped-down architectural columns create a stark impression by day, but at night a stylish second-date crowd and an open wood-burning oven warms the place up. On nearly every table, tall girly drinks--watermelon martinis, raspberry mojitos, coconut cosmos--add splashes of South Beach color.
The Food
Despite the restaurant's name, the menu is remarkably Atkins-friendly, from the nibble bowls of spicy fried chickpeas to the grilled slabs of salt-flecked, smoky rib-eye, succulent chunks of rosemary roast chicken and fat tubes of springy grilled squid. Arugula salad sparkles with lemon and parmesan, while spinach and ricotta-filled panzarotti are swathed in a lush walnut sauce. Not everything works: The rosemary-stuffed branzini can be dry, pesto pasta lacks flavor and the cutting board of cheeses and salami is generic. For dessert, fresh berries, vanilla gelato and flaky butter cookie come together in an elegant take on strawberry shortcake.

It used to be a good neighborhood restaurant, but it has now priced itself out of the market - $20 for an average plate of pasta is just too much! The decor is fine, but the seasoning on the entrees is not great, and the service is just OK - at this price-point, I expect better.
Pros: location, decor
Cons: pricey, not good value

I did not like Bread Tribecca. I dined there last night for the first time. The room was nice, the lighting was pleasant and the location convenient, and the company lovely, however, that is where this positive review ends. The food was too rich, too greasy, and just not lovingly prepared by a knowledgeable chef. The service was average. The wine was average. The atmosphere was average. In a city like New York a diner with standards can do much better than this. Do not waste your time.
