tribeca standard

late last year i had a very bad experience at tribeca standard and the manager begged me to come back, when complained. so today was the day to meet a business associate for a salad and a glass of wine after the lunch time rush. we both opted for the roasted beetroot salad. it was terrible. the salad was drenched in vinegar because they used preserved beetroot from a jar. trust me i roast beetroot and this was boiled and soaked in vinegar. there werr pips in the oranges, very rough and untidy greens slapped over the beetroot to hide the fact that it was not roasted. four dismal slivers of goat's cheese and a dusting of cashews. we had to ask for menus from a very reluctant hostess and service was lacklustre, coupled with warm rosé that tasted like poison as a result of all the vinegar in the salad. at no point did the waiter asked if we are satisfied with the meal. the resyaurant was not eben half full. so this is the end of the road for me and tribeca. pity because i have to entertain often in the area and frequent the aytetbury theatre.

nice setting, nice decor, love the small but interesting wine list. but no use you have some great wines and don't know how to serve them. our red wine arrived warm, well above serving temperature. called the manager, complimenting him on a the nice wine selection and then told him our problem. he was a bit patronizing; saying wine should be served room temperature, suggesting we add ice, says he'll make a note (about my complaint) and left with 'i can see you are a wine connoisseur'. having guests with me i didn't want to make a scene so i left it at that.

had steak and veggies. you can never go wrong with steak. kept it safe. they have amazing cocktails. i also like to go to tribecca for their burgers during lunch.

great food - mostly. best oysters in town. great selection of burgers and lighter meals. duck and pork belly are winners for mains (pork is huge). terribly slow service though!

we went to dinner to celebrate the start of the holidays. i went for the duck (which was brilliant the last time we were there) but they did not have it. my husband had the pork belly which was very okay - the crackling looked good but did not live up to expectations. i had the slow cooked lamb (instead of my duck) which was also very okay. unfortunately the food was not up to standard - especially considering that the average price for a plate of food tonight was r 180.

tribeca never ceases to amaze! love this joint!! great coffee even better red velvet cheesecake 😁 try the pizzas too! awesome wood fire oven pizza with delectable toppings! winner winner ⭐️

another tribeca favourite. perfect lunch (an amazing pizza) with a glass of wine and something to read. i could sit here for hours and just enjoy the vibe. lekker pretoria.

oh gosh it's our favourite place ...man and myself discovered it late 2013 and we've been dining there ever since. we love the duck and half chicken but last night decided to have pork belly oh my we had so much fun and the food is forever delicious

a reliable place to get an excellent cup of coffee.
the menu is different with some interesting flavours for the pizzas and sandwiches. a reliable place to have a good breakfast

a beautifully designed restaurant situated at lynwood bridge.
the food is of great quality and great presentation.
if you are looking for a restaurant with classy service and great ambiance, tribeca standard is the place to be.

what can i say...my first duck experience! tried duck for the first time here and was so utterly impressed that now i compare it to every meal i eat! tribeca certainly never disappoints!

oh my word! the foooooood, i had to go twice this week. the other day i had a pizza, the california with bacon and two cheeses. yum! this time i tried two starters (tempura prawn and flatbread). prawns were delicious the flatbread quite a generous serving for a starter couldn't get through it. lovely service, the waiters are very friendly.

tribeca is my go to for good food when i don't know what i want! i've tried most things on their menu, averaging at least two visits per week and i have never been disappointed! prices are a little high but rest assured the atmosphere and great service makes those numbers a little more insignificant!

had the duck salad as a light lunch. service always takes a while and prices are a bit over the top, but nevertheless, food (and coffee) is amazing.

what a fantastic spot ! a friend and i visited tribeca on thursday night for a last minute get together. we were seated outside on account of the fantastic warm weather but i would imagine this restaurant to be very snug in winter as well! the vibe of the restaurant is a relaxed yet exciting one with a mixed crowd of yuppies , hipsters and families (not many children ) . the menu is constructed very well , with a variety burgers, pizzas and hearty mains ! i often say that if you cannot decide on a meal because there are multiple things that i would like to eat then a menu has achieved its goal ! there is a fantastic selection of cocktails as well ! i settled on the pork belly with a side of coleslaw and my friend had the vegetarian pizza. both were delicious but i must admit i was quite envious of the pizza! it was delicious! the pork belly although perfectly tender could do with more cooking to render the fat down a bit further and way more seasoning but again , was still very enjoyable. although i did not have a dessert , i will be back to try their cherry pie !

the only draw back for me was the service. although there were what seemed like 2 of the 4 managers / hostesses standing right next to us , we had to fight for someone attention when we either wanted to order or get the check. they seemed more interested in chatting to one another than attending to the needs of their patrons whilst their waiters seemed to be very busy ! although it is not technically their job to serve our table , it is their responsibility to coordinate everything. if your waiters are busy , jump in and help ! i must however, commend our waiter. his knowledge of the menu was excellent and his manner was friendly but still very professional.

tribeca has now become my new quick pick favorite in pretoria and i look forward to returning with a bunch of friends for a lovely evening of great food and yummy cocktails!
