Try Brick NYC instead

by Vip Manchanda at Citysearch

Only a block over from where 2 rivers used to be, Brick NYC is a hidden gem in Tribeca. Great food and staff to provide a spot for drinks after work or a nice sit down meal.

  • Pros: Better food, more sophisticated, well priced
2 Star Rating: Below Average

Wouldn't Bother Going Again

by Martrese at Citysearch

My husband & I stopped in after work recently for dinner. The food was nothing outstanding and the TVs, bad music and loud, drunk office workers didn't foster a nice dining atmosphere. I suppose this is a good place for overdrinking with friends, but for a sit-down meal, go elsewhere.

  • Pros: Jumpin' Drinking Scene
  • Cons: Bad Place for Dining
4 Star Rating: Recommended

so so

by changmino200 at Citysearch

the bar scene is great, but don't expect too much on the food. the menu looks good and the bread was excellent, but the atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired. it's configured in a weird way with furniture that looks like it was all left behind as part of a larger place. if you're in the neighborhood, i would go somewhere else.

  • Pros: good for lunch and drinks
  • Cons: crowded and uncomfortable
4 Star Rating: Recommended

No frills bar, food, and setting

by shanghailili at Citysearch

Great bar scene, not so great restaurant scene. I'm sure this place is great for lunch and the food is good, but don't go expecting a fine dining experience. The early reviews may have involved a different chef and philosophy, but there was only house wine and the desserts were pretty iffy. But, the bread was great, great salad, and great chicken parmagiano.

Great food, great staff, great place for a party

by amyrnnp at Citysearch

I rented out 2 Rivers on a Saturday night for a friend's birthday party. I worked with Chris to set it up and he was totally accomidating and gave us a great deal. The place is great, the food is really good (I reccomend the mini cheeseburgers and pigs and blankets), and it was a really fun place to have a party.

  • Pros: Food, Staff, Value
  • Cons: Can't think of any....
