Terroir

Billed as a wine bar, Terroir is much more than that. The outstanding food here is prepared in a very small kitchen at the far end of the bar – read about it in the entertaining steel-covered menu. More than bar snacks, less than a full dinner, you can definitely have great food at Terroir (rich ribolita, towering bruschetta, a decent little bar steak (thin-cut/salt), incredible meatball sandwich and much more). The bar staff are all basically sommeliers – young men and women, full of character and knowledge – expect tattoos, smiles and focus. Terroir also features a tightly edited selection of craft beers. Only downside for some can be the din of enthusiasm from fellow patrons. Hit this place around dinner-time late in the work week and the shrill-factor is bananas.   Expect to dine with after-work ad agency folks, antique store staffers, gangs of finance folks, first-daters, and Tribeca locals in to meet a friend.
