Inside the restaurant
Holly M.

This was my first time at this restaurant and I was excited because I had already looked at the menu and there were lots of exciting options. They seemed to be short-staffed, but everyone was really friendly. The music is a little loud, but we got a table outside and it was a little bit better. I only had the chicken and goat cheese salad, but it was amazing! The chicken was tender, the pear was ripe, and the goat cheese melts in your mouth. I look forward to going back and trying out other dishes.

I tried several of their items from a tomato bisque, turkey wrap, nachos, and an iced matcha. It's very important to note that they ask if you want to add milk but they don't tell you that it costs extra. The same goes for other items such as lettuce and tomato which don't cost extra at other places. The soup was not warm, the turkey wrap was wet for some odd reason, and the nachos were not as crispy as others I've had. The service was friendly and amiable and the place was relatively clean. It's unfortunate the quality of food was not good and there were too many hidden fees that should be clearly laid out in the menu.

Roasted Beet Salad Dinner with steak which
Amber G.

My son got the BBQ burger again. Today he let me have a bite. And I have to say the meat quality is very good. They even perfectly cooked it medium rare. A little bummed we had to sit outside when it's 112 out, because you could only sit inside if you had a reservation. Who knew this lil spot did reservations. SO MAKE A RESERVATION. lol Although they do have a good fan misting situation happening I got the fish tacos and they did not disappoint. They looked so good my son stole a whole taco from me. And I'm still stuffed from the 2 I ate. Huge piece of yummy tasting fish Hubs got the Reuben and it was 7/10 The sweet potato tots are really really good

Grapefruit basil martini
Keith C.

Service is key and tonight's visit to Tryst was no different. Our server/ bartender made some great cocktails. The Old Fashioned is delectable. The calimari appetized fell short. Too much breading and it was bitter too. Our salads were delicious as per usual. The staff makes you feel safe and the restaurant is clean

Jackfruit bowl
Greeshma R.

Located near the desert ridge mall this place is up for all those healthy choices we make! We went in on a busy thursday, we were seated outside and there was space heaters which helped us keep warm. The service is slow with just two ladies but how wonderful are they! I went with the jackfruit bowl, my friends picked a veggie omelette The serving and presentation is really good! I didn't waste any time in diving in. The jackfruit tasted fantastic, it was saucy and juicy at the same time. The quinoa was really good too! Overall a very delicious bowl. My friend said the the omlette was decent and had a good flavor. We ended with a chocolate ganache cake, it was the best. It was warm gooey and perfect way to end a meal. I would definitely be back to this place. Loved the whole vibe, food and the service. Can't wait to try their drink section!

Bison burger
Brooke K.

We really enjoyed our lunch / brunch. The service was amazing. It's cool being at a restaurant with workers who really seem to love their job and take pride in it. The food was really good - loved my bison burger. Everything tasted extremely fresh with high quality ingredients which I appreciated. Hope to be back soon!

Creamy Pesto Penne
Taylor E.

A friend of mine is gluten free and had chose to eat here for lunch. I am not gluten free but was impressed to see all the items on the menu that she was able to enjoy. The service was not the greatest the server did not come to refill our glasses of water or offer refills on soda at one point my friend asked for a refill. I ordered the Creamy Pesto Penne and was very disappointed, my noodles were very over cooked and mushy and the pesto/sauce was very bland. My friend shared she had enjoyed her burger, I can't see myself coming back to this restaurant but can appreciate the variety of options for those who have allergies and are gluten free.

Sangria
Kimberly H.

Not sure what it is as of lately but glad I came back, to give it another chance... the energy in here is beautiful. The diversity. Reminds me of pre 2020. When I used to come in daily after work for a sangria and pyramid cake. The service is fantastic the food is phenomenal.

Tryst Benedict* sub ham for avocado
Riley G.

This restaurant has been a family staple for years. Celebrating birthdays, graduations, family brunches and everything inbetween. The food is fresh and healthy, the sweet potato tots are a must! I've never had anything I didn't like here. The servers are amazing, Mercedes and Sasha are the best!!!!

Pinot noir
Robert S.

I forgot to say from my last visit, that it was expensive for what I ordered? Had chicken strips with a glass wine tot as l price was $30. Had ginger beer which I enjoyed. The yelp menu said had gluten free pizza. That was not case. Service was decent. Bit pricy for me unfortunately

Desert Ridge Summer Rolls Dinner
Sundeep I.

Tried this restaurant after it came up on Facebook. Location is pretty good, right opposite to desert ridge mall. We tried sweet potato burger with fries, summer rolls and brownie. Burger doesn't come as a typical burger but comes with a slice of bread. But everything tasted great. Especially their fries are just perfect. Brownie looked basic but tasted delicious. Service is decent and ambiance is just ok.

Alex B.

The food itself was okay- I got the open face vegan burger but it was just not worth the price. The bread wasn't great- the salad was meh. It was fine to try but I'd rather go somewhere else I think! Very cute inside though!

Breakfast Sandwich

See all

We went yesterday around 6 pm. We were quoted a 25 minute wait, waited closer to 40, no big they…read morewere busy we weren't upset. We ordered drinks, soda for me, cocktail for my husband. We ordered two pizzas, asked for one without the onions it has listed on the menu and also ordered the caprese salad. Salad and pizzas arrived before our drinks. The salad was not the caprese but was the house salad (had a ton of onions in it, looked up the menu to confirm we got the wrong salad) pizza arrived with onions on it as well. Manager got our drink for us after food arrived and said "let me know if you want a discount and a dessert because the drinks were so late" then walked away. I told the food runner about the pizza with onions and he took it back. Eventually, our server came around and I asked if this was the caprese salad and she said no it was the house. She confirmed we ordered the caprese but then said oh yeah that's not it, and left. Kinda end of that conversation. Both pizzas (once fixed) were delicious. Salad was not for me (covered in onions) but my husband said it was good. I could tell our server was busy so I didn't say anything more she seemed stressed out. We asked for the bill, no discount or dessert like the manager had said. The caprese salad was on the bill and it's a more expensive salad than the one we received. I noticed the same manager and pulled him over explained the salad issue and then felt uncomfortable as I brought back up what he said earlier about a discount. He took the salad off and gave us 10% off, still tipped 20% off original bill Honestly just kind of a weird experience. No apologies or attempts from our server to fix the salad. Was weird the manager offered a discount and dessert then didn't do it and made me bring it up (I didn't get the dessert I was feeling so uncomfortable) Pizza was good, service was ok she was busy I guess they seemed short staffed. Manager seemed to not care. Just odd experience. Really wanted that caprese salad lol. Probably won't return

He was a world of knowledge and introduced me to some new breweries. They must have at least 100 different beers available. This is a terrific location and gives us access to things you can only find at the big box Total Whine--mispelling intentional. Plus, they offer build-your-own 6-packs (20%, btw) and even have tastings on Thursday nights. The snack choices are pretty sweet, too, including cool Japanese snacks you don't find everywhere. Bottles of wine are for the taking, as well, but today I left with 8 different craft beers and sours and a few Japanese snacks. I'll be back for a tasting--and to try some new stout beers! The place has a pretty cool vibe to it. They definitely feel like they're still getting to atmosphere worked out, but it has hints of a zen garden amount the hum of the coolers. Games and a seating, too, although it's an intimate space and not for large groups. I recommend you check them out even if it's a grab and go. You'll definitely be on to something new and breaking away from the typical craft options. Thanks, Marcus!
