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 ) . themenuis 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 amenuhas 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 themenuwas 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!
