Tadich Grill

This James-Beard-award-winning restaurant got its start as a simple coffee stand in 1849. In 1887, a Croatian immigrant named John Tadich purchased the stand and renamed it Tadich Grill. Tadich’s original claim to fame was as the first restaurant in town to cook seafood over a charcoal grill in the Croatian tradition, a method that continues to draw patrons even after the restaurant moved to its current Financial District location in 1967. The charcoal grilled sole, halibut and swordfish remain Tadich mainstays alongside other succulent seafood dishes.
