Tiny’s & the Bar Upstairs

Had a nice quiet date here on a Sunday evening. I feel like it probably gets crowded usually, but there was only one other table seated upstairs with us. Our waiter was friendly and pleasant. We started off with the meatballs, which was good paired with the garlic bread it came with. We ordered the scallops and steak for the main course. It tasted pretty average. However, we had a good overall experience here/​great ambiance and would say give it a try.

Very cozy place, good setting but have never loved their layout as I always feel cramped there no matter where I’m at in the restaurant or bar. Drinks aren’t bad, also not great compared to their price point and quality elsewhere in the neighborhood.
Their menu is underwhelming. Food is decent but after some time away we went there recently and ordered drinks, struggled with the menu to find anything desirable and decided life’s too short to waste our time on such a lackluster menu. Again, boring menu that’s overpriced compared to comparable places and quality. If it’s slow and empty and you’re not as picky about food options then it’s a good date setting.

Stopped by here for breakfast yesterday morning before heading to the airport on our way back to FL from a wonderful Christmas in NYC. Tiny’s is pretty tiny in size but big on service and excellent food!
Our group of four had no issue finding seating here at 10am on a Sunday morning when most places are packed. Why, you might ask? I think it’s because it’s pretty hidden, almost like a speakeasy. The signage is pretty small, and if you don’t know where you’re going, you could easily walk right past it.
The interior is warm, cozy, and friendly with down-​to-​earth staff. These are people I could see at my place for a game night, having a great time!
My Harvest Bowl was a healthy mix of seeds, arugula, farro, cabbage, beets, and a citrus dressing. Though it was on the Starter menu, it was sizable enough for breakfast, and I couldn’t even finish it.
I also especially liked their coffee. They make it Americano style — part espresso/​part water which makes for a strong brew — exactly the way I like it!
Next time around I’d like to try the Tiny’s Upstairs Bar. We’ll be back!

I love the cozy feeling of this restaurant, and fully enjoy the unique spin they bring to comfort food!
At a recent lunch outing, the Novara Risotto with mushrooms was delicious, and complemented perfectly with the Chive and Cheddar Tater Tots and a glass of chilled prosecco. I will be back soon for Brunch!

All I can say is: Eh.
Been looking forward to going to this place for a long time and when the weather finally got down to the 40’s, I was really looking forward to sitting by their fireplace and having a cozy, warm meal. Sadly, this was not the case. Staff was very friendly, and sat us in the back– but alas– the fireplace was filled with candles! When we asked about it, we were told the room gets too hot when it’s on. Fair enough, but the small dining room was so cold I left my coat on the whole time — there was NO cozy vibe at all.
Even so, we wanted to give this place a shot, so we ordered some appetizers and a couple cocktails. Both were good — nothing exceptional. The menu overall was pretty plain American food– nothing inventive or to get excited over.
Overall, was pretty bummed by the experience — probably won’t be back.

You walk up a small stair case and you’re quickly transported to a speakeasy type feel of a restaurant with brick walls, small tables and wire chairs. The ambience is perfect for a nice dinner with friends or a romantic date. While the menu is pricey the food is worth it, cooked to perfection — not to mention the meal starts with bread and butter. While I wasn’t overly amazed by the bread the butter however was delicious! We ordered a few cocktails but didn’t taste much alcohol, the waitress did not hesitate to have them remade. Perfect place to start a fun night out!

They call this place Tiny’s for a reason, it’s tiny! But it carries a lot of punch! The ambiance is romantic and intimate. The acoustics aren’t the best, but they’re definitely not the worst. It’s no wonder why New Yorkers talk so loud!
The Kale salad was absolutely phenomenal! The salmon was well cooked and seasoned very well, but you could definitely tell it was farm-​raised. Had they served wild caught, this place would definitely get 5-​stars from me!

The food the atmosphere– just amazing. It’s a chill atmosphere mixed with the taste of food perfection. This is a place not only for a New York Ranger Fan (because of the owner) but because of the entire place itself. Outside looks nothing like the inside– so make sure you go inside and enjoy it!

A great Tribeca Bar! The bar is located on the second floor of a tiny row house, so don’t expect a lot of room to move around. But do expect great drinks, a friendly bartender, and an equally friendly crowd. I recommend the Workers Mule and The West Twelfth. The West Twelfth was definitely refreshing as my friend and I just popped in this bar after walking through the neighborhood for a good hour. The West Twelfth is the perfect blend of cucumber and mint with smooth vodka.

Great brunch! I like this place a lot, they have great healthy options and everything is so flavorful and delicious. I ordered the roots and grains and it was very good and filling. Overall, a great experience and nice space.

Their service, food and drink are wonderful.
They really care about guests.
They’re always on your side.
When I go there, I feel very comfortable and enjoy every moment at this restaurant.
I’m happy to finally find a restaurant where I’m willing to pay.
I strongly recommend to everyone this restaurant.

One of the coziest places in NYC.
I stay down the street at the Smyth hotel a few times a month and make sure to go in and sit by the wood burning fire and have one of their seasonal selections.
It is really a special place.

Located in the Tribeca area on the westside, Tiny’s is just that, Tiny but it packs a pretty solid punch. If you are looking to make reservations here, you can only do it 30 days in advance.
Since the place is dimly lit and small, as soon as you walk in you get a sort of cozy feel, which to me was a little ‘odd’ since the place has brick backdrop with shiny metallic objects scattered throughout.
We were seated in the upstairs portion of the restaurant where the bar is located. The bar seemed to fill up quickly around 8ish. There are about 10 – 12 tables upstairs in a tight space. If you want to have a really personal conversation, this is probably not the place for you as the table next to you is within inches of you. There was no one sitting next to us during dinner, but it did seem loud at times. I did not mind the level of noise as it was not overly disruptive.
Dinner was really good. We ordered the duck and the scallops as entrees, along with oysters on the half shell and meatballs for appetizers. The duck was cooked extremely well and the scallops were too. Decent size portions that left me full upon leaving. They have a decent wine list by the bottle and by the glass. Prices were not overly outrageous. Wines vary by style, varietal and region of the world. They covered all the basics and had some interesting eclectic wines. I liked the variety and prices on this wine list.
The service was fast, efficient, friendly and knowledgable. No complaints whatsoever.
So many choices in NYC for eating that I want to try, but would never turn down a chance to come back here. I would even enjoy hanging out in the small bar area upstairs. If you are in Tribeca, give it a shot.

This place is really cute, quaint-​almost, and with good food. We came here for brunch and I had the Norwegian eggs with tater tots and my friend had the burger (and she apparently comes here all the time so must have been a good choice). They bring you tea in cute little individual tea pots even before any beverages or food you order which was a nice homey touch. The tater tots tasted a bit like a heart attack waiting to happen but I would highly recommend as they are definitely different from your average tater tots (deep fried longer, I think). We sat in the interior right near the faux fireplace (they use lighted candles) and I liked the casual and locals vibe. Like this is a hole in the wall that I’ve walked by countless times without really noticing it was there. My friend who is more in the «know» recommended this place.
I’ll definitely be back to try more of the food on the menu. We were here for Sunday brunch, but it has got me curious enough about dinner. Not sure about the reviews that are complaining about service. I found the wait staff and servers very cordial and friendly.

I really liked Tiny’s.
We went for their late night menu on a Wednesday. We had just been at Weather Up, who was no longer serving food even though their menu clearly did not have a time limit. Not at Tiny’s. It was around 11 and their kitchen was still open.
We ran into the restaurant probably looking frazzled and ravenous. The host was super sweet and very calm — he told us he could seat us immediately but he could take our order right there if we wanted. We immediately put in an order of burrata and meatballs. Then, we were led upstairs. We were also offered a seat downstairs.
We ordered a Manhattan upstairs (delicious) and our food came out quickly. My only complaint about the area was that it was super dark and hard to see. The burrata was good — it came with fruit and crispy bread. The meatballs were the star. Classic Italian with tons of cheese and bread. I was happy with both.
At the end of the meal, we paid and ran downstairs to the bathroom before leaving. When I came out, the host was standing there — ready to drape the scarf I forgot upstairs around me. A+ service and good food. Is it my #1 restaurant in Manhattan? No. But I will certainly be back. Well played, Tiny’s. Well played.

Four stars for atmosphere, three stars for food. We had happy hour drinks and dined at Tiny’s on a Friday evening. Service started out nice, but I think she became annoyed by our group throughout the evening, don’t know why. Do make a reservation, we did and were promptly seated.
Décor is rustic, dark, and a mix of shiny metallics against a brick background. The dining space downstairs is a bit more cramped than I would’ve liked and has only a few tables. And if the annoying couple at the table next to you is making out, well, then you’re forced to watch it or stare at the ceiling.
The artichoke hearts in my dish were tough and inedible, the fish was good but really bland, it could’ve used some salt, seasoning or sauce to add flavor. The meatball appetizer was my favorite. The burrata app was ok, the kale salad was good. The farmer’s tan cocktail was watered down and not good. The bottle of pinot noir we ordered was just ok, not worth the $ 60+ we paid for it. Tiny’s makes a good effort for food, but falls just a tiny bit short (sorry, had to pun). If you’re not terribly hungry or don’t expect amazing food, then I’d say give Tiny’s a try for a drink with friends or a date. But please don’t make out, we can all see you!

Sunday brunch here… is a fantastic idea! Words of wisdom — make reservations and get there early for outdoor seating.
I had the Rise and Shine. And I highly recommend it. Eggs over easy, savory grits with purple corn specks, thick bacon, and a biscuit. Would have it everyday! The biscuit was crumbly, not your average super fatty, moist biscuit but honestly delicious. The eggs and thick bacon were perfectly done. Grits that were gorgeously colored and equally complimented by their texture. Homemade hot sauce on the side. Sooooo satisfying! Note, it was not belt unbuckling, but a perfect portion. For those who are used to a huge huge American breakfast, where you stuff yourself silly, you may be left wanting more. I wanted more — but more like brunching on it again the next day kind of more!
My friend got the Root and Grains: quinoa and sunchokes and poached eggs. Healthy, right! It was delicious if you want a filling salad.
In addition to the long list of alcoholic drinks, they have coffee, of course. We got ice coffee, what you’d expect. What was tempting was the french press coffee. $ 5 with one, $ 10 for two. Maybe I’ll try it next time.
The waitress was peppy, plenty of happy to erase any particularly trying, early morning.
Let my pics paint a better landscape than my words.

Cute little bar in Tribeca. It’s a restaurant downstairs and then they have a really cute bar upstairs. Stopped in for a drink after having dinner in the area. The drinks are really unique and the service was great. I was quite surprised to hear they were playing a little bit of old-​school Jay Z hip-​hop, which I always enjoy. We had a great nightcap I ordered the Farmers Tan. It consisted of Tito’s vodka, watermelon juice, Basil, and lime. Very refreshing but a little sweeter than what I had hoped for. cute spot and would go back if I was in the area.

Tiny’s is as Tiny’s does: obnoxious!
Yes, they are completely the nose-​in-​the-​air, uptight, full-​of-​themselves establishment!
Extremely limited menu
Hey, if you like tater tots, this is the place!
Ordinary cocktails, and totally crappy customer centricity. We get that space and #of tables are limited.
We booked a table for 5:30, and by 5:45 were being hassled into ordering dinner.
We intended to have a pleasant evening, catching up with friends over drinks and dinner, with lots of conversation, basically a leisurely evening. but this pushed us into pub crawl mode! We ultimately had a great time, but will not forget these awful folks.

Impressive little concept here in TriBeCa. I’ve been here twice recently after passing it by for a few years after my inaugural visit. It just goes to show that a second chance can be rewarding.
Tiny’s has a cool atmosphere, friendly and engaging servers and some really fine food. The menu is limited but everything is inviting. For quality, it is equal parts food and beverage. An exceptional burger and amazing french toast. Beets, kale, burrata with berries, meats with fun surroundings. You get the idea… farm to table.
The main floor is dark and rustic with small tables. Keep your group small. There are a few tables on the sidewalk. There’s a dining room upstairs. I favor the main floor in the back or the sidewalk.

The amazing Tiny’s reminded me of my experience at an interactive art exhibit a «few» years ago.
Tiny’s of course was more pleasant than eternally wading knee-​deep through snow-​like material in the dark, to find at the end of the path one single small burning candle.
Don’t get me wrong there are other flames burning in Tribeca but Tiny’s with its attentive and smiling service, elegant food and intimate dining experience, and everything-​old-​but-​restored appeal had me eager to go back after a lunch that felt like dinner.
And so, I couldn’t wait to go back for lunch again and went back a third time for an impromptu dinner. I had the duck duo, maybe a special, with duck breast and confit. It was spectacularly tender, sweet and so much complex flavor. I would not hesitate to order the duck breast entrée, when I go back again.
Too bad the cocktails were just ok. I remember having a dark and stormy and a smoke and mirrors at the bar upstairs, and was slightly impressed by them, but my friend was not impressed at all by The West Twelfth or a diablo-​like cocktail that our otherwise amazing server suggested. What is definitely impressive though is their top shelf and the other spirits they have on hand.
