Great staff, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful. Food choices and quality excellent. Ambience lovely (we sat at high top in bar area). Only issue we had was a very loud table right next to us. Made us hurry out. Otherwise great.

For a price of $40/p brunch I was expecting a better and more attentive service, hostess so seriously greeted, long delay before anyone attended on our table, food already served when we were asked IF any silverware needed, room temperature coffee served and had to ask for hotter coffee multiple times, empty cup not refilled until requested, and many other little things not up to bar. Food was decent but not exceptional comprable to First Watch. $135 brunch for two with one drink for $14 and a coffee and tips.

The food was good! They seemed a bit understaffed on Mother’s day but our waiter was clearly doing his best and it was overall a great experience! The mother's day price fix was a little pricey but thats probably also expected.

Before I even went in, I had a great experience on the website learning about the team and humanity behind Tryst. I’m always on the lookout for sensory experiences, and Tryst delivered! The poppers were a flavor explosion, the mocktail had a delightful balance not being too sweet, and the brussel sprouts were *perfectly* cooked and paired with bacon. On top of it all, the servers were so kind even though they were very busy, and I appreciate that.

Brunch was not terrible but also not particularly good. Adequate but disappointing. Would not recommend based on our experience

We tried 5 different dishes from the small plates and a dessert. The Lacquered Ribs were the star of the night and the tacos (shrimp and pork belly) were also dynamic and tasty. The Golden Beet Salad was flavorful and nuanced with super crunchy bites. Each cocktail was fantastic, and the bartender and server were both phenomenal - attentive, knowledgable and helpful. Yes, it was not a cheap meal, but we very much enjoyed it.

Food prices are very high for what is served. I got a salad with shrimp for $34 that was the size of an appetizer and was nothing special. The service was wonderful and friendly.

Great beer choices and great food - brussels sprouts and sorbet were outstanding. Server was wonderful - attentive without being overbearing. One of us left our cell phone behind, and they were so kind - called to let us know. Great place to enjoy a meal and get together with friends.
