Wonderful food, very kind staff

by uclaanderson

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+++

• Pros: ambience, friendly, service, excellent food

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!

• Pros: service
• Cons: 'cozy' tables

Great meal with a great atmosphere

by luna556

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.

• Pros: atmosphere, service, value of food, affordable
• Cons: none

AMAZING

by l0218

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.

• Pros: everything
• Cons: a little chaotic, busy

great food, great service

by tomcallahan

i went here with my girlfriend for dinner, we (she) picked it randomly while we were walking down spring. it seemed a bit pseudo-intellectual from the outside and i was hesitant, but went in anyway. the crowd turned out to be quite mixed, which always appeals to me; it's easier to fit in because you don't have to. the food was excellent, i had some pasta with lamb ragout and we started with a meat, cheese and veg plate. everything was great. our waitress, ebba, a young swedish chick, was perfect and the manager for the night, whose name i won't say so she doesn't get in trouble for the drinks she gave us on the house (who is not one of the three owners, who are only there during lunchtime) was also very friendly. the only downside was the art exhibit that was happening, so people would stand next to our table and discuss the [not that great or particularly artistic] photograph hung by us. OTHER THAN THAT i recommend this place as little as possible ONLY because i don't want people finding out about it.

• Pros: location, ambience, attractive and friendly wait staff
• Cons: art exhibit

RUDE, RUDE, RUDE....and only mediocre food

by ssoohhoo

I had the worst experience here a couple weeks ago. Our table was neglected the entire time. We had to beg for more water and wine (you'd think they would want to keep our wine glasses full). After a bland dinner, we waited forever to receive our bill. My friends paid the tip in cash...20% even though she didn't deserve it. I charged my share and made sure to put a line through the tip area. When I checked my bank balance a couple days later, there was an extra $10 added to the charge! The crappy waitress took it upon herself to take money from me and give herself over 35% tip while doing so. I called the restaurant every day for over a week following and no one returned my call. Clearly they don't care about customer service or the fact that their employees steal from their customers. Stay away!

• Pros: Nice setting, good area
• Cons: Horrible service, dishonest staff

Worst Service Ever!

by nikkitabonita

Worst Service. I have been in the industry for 8 years, traveled to parts of the world where service is at its worst and this place had such poor service i cant even believe it. I arrived early to reserve a table for 9. Fully aware that they didn't except reservations. I was prepared to wait an hour for a table. I got there at 9:15 and was not sat till 10:30. We then all sat at the table for 20 min before someone even approached us. We had to ask 3 people for menus. It was like pulling teeth getting someone to help us. We got are appetizers before our wine. We finished the wine in a few seconds. I told the waitress to have an extra bottle ready which she didn't do. We then waited for 20 min or her to come back. empty water glasses, used plates everywhere. Total disaster. Then as we all finally got are entrees she forgot 2 of my friends pastas. Didn't apologize or seem the least bit effected. We were completely neglected..... Since their was an auto grat we had no say in how much to leave for a tip. I literally had to get up from the table to hunt down a server 6 times. Worst, Worst, Worst...

• Pros: cool environment
• Cons: HORRIBLE I MEAN HORRIBLE SERVICE
