Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in TriBeCa

I first dined at Tamarind in 2000 or 2001, pre 9/11. They were at a different location then--smaller but also wonderful. This time at the Tamarind I was delighted by the same levels of hospitality and care, and I was impressed by the excellent staff who waited on each table. The food is spectacular! Try as many of the dishes as you can. I went for the tasting menu. The scallops were simply outstanding, as was the cauliflower. The lemon rice with all the fixings, and the desserts--the kulfi was out of this world --made for a perfect meal. Wonderful wonderful wonderful!

We were entertaining guests from out of town who wanted to eat at a French restaurant. Boucherie fit the bill, wonderful food, great service in a traditional French bistro. The beef bourguignon was wonderful as was the duck confit. Will definitely return on our own.

The food was great and the staff was really nice, they sang for my friend's birthday and gave her a tiramisu with a candle!

I’ve always been a huge fan of the LA one, but this one is next level. The interior still moody but less dark, super cozy corners. I love the location of the open kitchen. The two stories are both fantastic with high ceilings. The staff is very well-versed and the food totally on point… can’t wait to be back many more times.

We loved everything about this restaurante, food was wonderful, and the experience brought us back to Spain!
