Editorial Review for Tribeca Grill – by Adam Rapoport
The Scene
Sports stars make their way here after an engagement at the Garden; neighborhood celebs like Harvey Keitel constantly pop in and out; and everyone from Bill Murray to Mikhail Baryshnikov is an investor. Oil paintings by part-owner Robert De Niro's father hang on exposed-brick walls (junior's paintings decorate Layla), which, along with an aged-looking wood ceiling, lend the space a warehouse-like feel.
The Food
Chef Stephen Lewandowski cooks savory dishes like herb-crusted rack of lamb with minted tomatoes and pan-seared red snapper with toasted vegetable orzo. Those in the mood for something lighter can grab a snack at the always-packed bar and unwind with a stiff cocktail.

On a June, 2008 trip to NYC we went to the Tribeca Grill before we caught a cab back to Broadway. The hostess actually knew when I gave my name that we had reserved as and were there for pre theatre and immediately sat us. No small achievement in my experience. The Sommelier was most helpful in assisting us with choosing a reasonably priced wine that we enjoyed. The service time from when our waitress took our order until it was served was absolutely amazing. We joked about whether the waitress who took our order and the service person passed each other on the way to the kitchen. Each course of our meal surpassed our expectations and the service at every level was outstanding. Forget about the celebrity ties, I would not come to the NYC area again without visiting this fine restaurant.

I traveled down with friends to Tribeca on Saturday May 17th for the "Taste of Tribeca:" street fair. Afterwards we walked around the Tribeca neighborhood, and then stopped in for an early dinner at Tribeca Grill. I haven't read much about the restaurant recently, and am not predisposed to like places with celebrity connections. Having said that, I really enjoyed our dinner. The room has a warm, downtown feeling, and while it got somewhat noisy at times, we could all hear each other at the table. The food was good and ample. I started with the Seared Tuna with Sesame Noodles, and others at our table tried the Warm Spring Asparagus Salad, and Jumbo Lump crabcake. All were quite good. For mains we ordered the Garganelli with Short Rib Bolognese, Seared Sea Scallops with Morels, and Long Island Duck Breast. Each exceeded expectations. The wine list was very substantial, and the sommelier was helpful in helping us navigate to some good choices that were not too pricey. It all made for a very pleasant trip to an area and restaurant that was off our radar screen.
Pros: Good food & wine list. Accommodating service.
Cons: A bit of a hike for everyone except downtowners.
