The next restaurant I will be covering is TriBeCa Grill! TriBeCa Grill is a buzzing restaurant co-owned by Robert De Niro serving a New American menu & lengthy wine list. TriBeCa Grill is located in TriBeCa, at the cross streets of Greenwich Street and Franklin Street. TriBeCa Grill earns a $$$$ price rating from Zagat.
The Restaurant Atmosphere
The atmosphere at TriBeCa Grill is classic. Upon entry, the green trim, and trophy/plaque collection at the coat check create something of a country-club feel. The outdoor patio, which offers seating, and green, wooden doors provide curb appeal.
Set in a converted warehouse, the restaurant achieves coziness on a grand scale - an antique wooden bar anchors the huge room. Large, colorful paintings by De Niro’s dad adorn the brick walls, and the center bar feels pleasantly Cheers-like. Tthe warm surrounds ensure good people-watching, and the attentive” staff makes you feel at home.
The Food
The food is classic and competent, if not groundbreaking: Seared sea scallops bear a caramelized crust, and king salmon is served with a salad of Asian pear, fennel and celery root. Flag down one of the skilled, apron-clad servers to help you negotiate the epic wine list, which offers more than 2,300 bottles.
Personal favorites from the menu include the grilled octopus, pan-seared diver scallops, Colorado lamb chops, and the crispy fingerling potatoes. For dessert, the Ithaca Yogurt Panna Cotta and the Tahitian Vanilla Creme Brulee are outstanding.
Summary
TriBeCa Grill is a neighborhood classic. Although on the expensive side of things, it's the perfect
location for a classic American meal. Perfect for business lunches or dinners, or even a meal with
visiting family.
