As mentioned when we showed you the menu, Tonda opened for dinner last night — brunch will launch in a couple of weeks and then lunch. In the meantime, here’s a look at the $30,000 oven installed by the Bread team, as well as the fruits of its labor. The crust looks quite light and puffy! With the communal seating gone, the former E.U. space seems just a little bit more buttoned-up, but still bright and airy. One thing that’s a disappointment or a relief, depending on how you feel about these things: No pool table as originally planned.
