very average
by stefbour
We have eaten there several times and also have had delivery - food very average - nothing inspiring, but it is comfort food. Loved the white beans.
LIKED IT GOOD PLACE TO EAT
by luke22
I REALY THOUGHT IT WAS GOOD. IT CAN BEE A LITTLE PRICEY BUT WORTH THE TRY. I WILL TRY IT AGAIN IN THE FUTIRE.
Too pricey for a neighborhood place!
by redhammy
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
Average dining in Tribeca
by joyca
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.
Best restaurant ever!!!!!
by modrzycka
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
Poor Service, Bigotry of Staff
by iocpc
The staff at this place are bigots. We were there as a group of 6 last weekend. The waiter, a dark-haired Italian looking guy in his 40's, did not even bring over water for 10 minutes after we were seated. Another waitress dropped a glass that shattered on the floor, spraying water and shards of broken glass on my wife and I. No apology was made. When the waiter finally did bring the water, one of the glasses were knocked over. He did not return with any paper towels to dry our table. The famous bread and oil arrived at our table at the same time as our sandwiches. Overall the experience was horrible and when we left only 12% tip, the waiter in a very loud voice, meant to be heard by all of us, stated "these cheap fuc*ing Indians always leave bad tips". We asked for the manager to discuss our experience but were told by the girl who seated us that he was not available. We will never go to this restaurant again and recommend all to stay away.
Delicious
by tonia33
Tribeca in the past couple of years has seen somewhat of an explosion of new restaurants popping up here and there, but one eatery still holds my heart and that is Bread Tribeca. From the casual non pretentious waitstaff to the ambience giving off just enough hipness without being too overbearing to the delicious menu and impressive drinks, My husband and I had a wonderful experience. It had been awhile (more than a year) since I last gave this downhome place a try. My last experience was uneventful, however this time more then made up for it. We had one of the new additions to the menu,. the swordfish. We had intended on sharing this dish but I found it impossible to do so, my husband ended up having the chefs special pasta dish; bucatini with pork sausage. Can I say OH MY GOD! It was just divine. We ended the night with two glasses of Brachetto and fritelle. We will definately be back
friendly and relaxing
by aleksandra0610
Bread is a great place to relax and enjoy the food and the conversation with a friend. It's best for brunch especially if you are looking to geat away from the Soho shoppers and get some peace. They have the best dink menu to go with the season. All of the cocktails are made with fresh fruit puree and the food menu can satisfy every stomach. Very friendly service.
worst service ever
by sohoresident
I have been going to Bread in Soho since it opened and finally got around to trying Bread in tribeca last weekend. Unbelievably (given how superb the Soho restaurant is) I had literally, no exaggeration, the worst service I have ever encountered New York.
The hostess who seated us could not have been more friendly, and the bus boy quickly brought bread and olive oil (just as in the Soho restaurant). I asked him for salt. Shortly after, the waitress came by and took our order. So far so good.
For the next half hour I could literally not get a single person's attention. Our coffee never arrived, no salt and when we tried to flag a waitress or busboy they were all chatting in a group near the kitchen (it was late afternoon on a Sunday). The food came and I asked again for coffee and salt and waited. The coffee finally arrived and not only was it actually room temperature (it wasn't merely "cold" coffee it clearly had been turned off for at least a half hour). Not only that, no kidding, the filter must have busted when they brewed it because it was full of coffee grinds.
I couldn't get anyone's attention to ask for hot coffee for another ten minutes and still no salt. Finally, i got up, walked through the group of chatting waiters, and asked for salt. Instead of apologizing the waitress (I am not making this up) just motioned toward three salt shakers sitting on the counter. I also told her about the coffee and she simply said they would replace it, as if they were doing me a great favor.
While we were waiting for our check, the coffee finally arrived.
I'll never go back there again and since I have gotten to know the managers of Bread Soho over the years I plan to talk to them about it.
- Pros: the food was actually quite good
- Cons: worst service ever (no exaggeration) in New York
Great Food, Hot Staff
by johnnyq2
I had a party here a couple weeks ago and we absolutely loved Bread Tribeca. The staff were friendly and the service great, and the restaurant has beautiful decor (I heard that MoMA designed a lot of the restaurant).
I've been to both this location and the smaller one in Soho, and this one is by far the better location. It has a full bar too and excellent special drinks so I would recomment hitting up the Tribeca Bread.
During the day I go for the panini or the pizzas (they have an open brick oven) and at night I love the saffron pasta and the rib eye.
The decor, crowd, and staff alone are great eye candy, and with the great food I would recommend Bread to anyone looking for a hot place to eat/drink downtown.
