Tribeca Grill

My husband and I eat dinner here most times we're in the city. Neither of us has ever had a bad meal (from appitizers to dessert), and keep going back........in a city of thousands of restaurants......we know the dinner will be satisfying here!

Bartenders were very friendly. Waiter was subpar. Felt like we were doing him a favor. We were given a crappy table, despite reservation made a month in advance. Loved the atmosphere. Lighting was warm and art was interesting and complimentary to the rest of the decor. Beet salad was outstanding, with perfect touch of goat cheese and herbs. It was the highlight of the evening. Green salad was just a big bowl of lettuce with 2 grape tomatoes hidden somewhere in all that greenery and blah blah blah dressing. The scallops in the scallop and risotto dish were tasty, but the risotto was bland. The one thing that can be said for it is that the rice was cooked to perfect texture - not mushy or crunchy. Striped bass was overpowered by the bean, swiss chard and red wine "stew" it was sitting on. Finally decided to eat the bass alone, and found it tasted "fishy". Perhaps that's why the bean/chard/wine glop was so spicy....to hide the less than fresh fish. Our waiter didn't offer coffee or dessert, and we didn't ask. We just wanted an end to the mediocrity and practically ran out of the joint. Extremely disappointing.

We woke up on Saturday morning and wanted a place to go for dinner. After a few calls, we were lucky enough to get an 8:45 reservation at Tribeca Grill. The main room is lively and inviting. It's a mix of tourists and locals. After a lousy margarita and a belini martini, we moved on to an enjoyable dinner. The roasted beet salad with goat cheese was excellent. The colors and flavors were superb. I had the braised short rib and it was tasty and tender. I would give the side of "autumn root vegetables" a two. It consisted of carrots, celery and parsnips....all practically raw and tasteless. It was more a stack of crudite on the side of the plate. My husband had the lamb. Thankfully he ordered it medium, for it came very rare. He liked it, since he can do rare to medium. I would have sent it back. The chanterelle and potato puree he substituted was a bit salty, but flavorful. Vanilla creme brulee was velvety and a great cup of coffee finished the evening. The service, though friendly, was a bit MIA at times. We did enjoy the evening. Main courses were much better than the sides. Overall, it was a nice night. Just what we were looking for tonight.

I'm not sure what all the people below are moaning about. I've been here a dozen times and have enjoyed every meal. It's a bit overpriced, but not so much as to keep me away. Try the burger... it's one of the best in town, and that's saying something in NY.

eh the service was okay. i went for restaurant week and i wasnt impressed at all with the food....goat cheese salad was mediocre. as was the ravioli. i probably wont be back there.

I had gone to Tribeca Grill expecting at least an above average experience. The surroundings and the service was up to par, but the food was unappetizing. At one point, the person I was with told me that I make better dishes.

My little sister visited NYC for the first time, so I went to Tribeca Grill with her... I have to admit that the atmosphere was quite nice! We preferred being seated outside in the cozy table, but inside seats also had this romantic atmosphere! The food we had there (an appetizer.... something starts with asparagus and filet of beef as entree) were....ok...... I mean ok.... ;) but I have to say that the food and the service was not impressive enough to accept this huge amount of bill!!! I paid $100.00 including tax and tip, and still questioning if this restaurant was worth $100.00! The decision is up to you!
