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.

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.

Me and my husband, my best friends and my neighbous go to Bread Trbeca all the time. It is a very busy and very popular place, so sometimes, even us being regulars, we have to wait for a table for 30 minutes, because that;s what happens with great places that serve great food! And trust me: it's well worth the wait! I have been coming there with my husband for 4 years now and sometimes the place is completely overflown by people and sometimes we had to wate but everybody there has been more than nice and polite to us and the food was well worth the wait! We live around the corner and Bread Tribeca is our favorite place in the whole neighborhood. As far as I am concerned: I worked in restaurants in NYC through out college and I know that sometimes things can go bad but - I love Bread Tribeca and everybody in the neighbourhood loves it too. Amazing food and great customer care a far as I am concerned.
Pros: Great food, try ravioli!!!!!
Cons: No cons
