Just a hop skip and a jump from #TribecaUrban! Tender Greens is the perfect place for that healthy and delicious Sunday lunch! Try the Steak Salad with fresh beets! Deeeeeeelicious!

Chicken, albacore and steak on hot plates, big bed of tender greens. Hibiscus iced tea is a must!

I always forget how great this place is. Just had the Spinach Simple Salad with the salt and pepper chicken on top. Chicken was perfectly cooked. Try the cowboy cookie! Most impressed with the service

Delicious and fresh food!I've gotten the Seared Ahi and the steak. They were both incredibly tender. Personally, I didn't like their caesar, but their other options are great!
Aziza A.May 4, 2010
All of their salads are pretty yum and sizable. I miss the duck salad but their chicken Cobb, barbeque, Caesar and veggie options are great. The drink selection is fun and tasty!

Love simple salad paired with salt and pepper chicken. Fresh ingredients, reasonable prices

Do yourself a favor and look up the nutrition facts before you order. Tender Greens serves up whole, unprocessed food, but many items aren't exactly waistline friendly. Delicious though!
EpicuriousAugust 23, 2010
Most of the food served here is eco-friendly and it is all inexpensive too. Try body- and wallet-friendly treats like herb-brushed local albacore or chipotle bbq chicken salad in a picturesque locale.

A Cafeteria-style eatery with fresh meats, chicken, and simple salads. The tomato soup makes a fantastic appetizer! -Kacy & Cori, The Real L Word

The mashed potatoes and chicken are GREAT! This particular location was nice enough to give us free cupcakes when the outside area was closing and we were all still talking.

Happy vegan salad with chicken is amazing. You're welcome. Watermelon tea us also refreshing.

Probably the best salad I have ever had in my lifetime. Went with tuna
CaraNovember 21, 2013
Fresh....everything you need in a salad. The mashed potatoes are a good supplement. You will need a $20 for a salad. Blah.
BravoJanuary 28, 2010
Best Greek lunch and dinner. Local and organic salads, hot plates and soups. Best mashed potatoes and seared tuna. -Tressa Williams, Launch My Line

Food is great but you need to be really clear you don't want mash potatoes. They end up throwing them on almost everytime I order here.

Dogs are NOT ALLOWED in the patio. Must be kept outside of the fence.
