    Mac & Cheese

    A wonderful meal with a friendly and accommodating staff. One of our favorite steakhouses.

    Box to go for this fantastic hanger steak!
    Steve H.

    I have lived in the neighborhood for four years and never really had a reason to stop in for an expensive steak until recently. Thank God I finally did! PHEW this food was awesome. My sister and I both had the hanger steak (medium and medium rare respectively). We also ate mashed potatoes, broccoli and asparagus sides. The steaks were 10/10. The vegetables and potatoes were 10/10. No question. But we were both very torn over our choices of six sauces and the waiter brought us two each instead of one. And the sauce is where the BIG PROBLEM started! WHY ON EARTH would you serve absolutely delicious fantastic 10/10 house made sauces (like horseradish, port wine, mushroom, chimichurri) when you're serving up absolutely delicious 10/10 food??? I couldn't bring myself to use the sauce and hide the flavor of all the food we ordered. Potatoes too creamy and tasty to douse in even the best sauces (which these were). Even the broccoli and asparagus were too good to be hidden under sauce. Obviously the steak was perfect on its own. So if you want to have a major problem on your hands of choosing which delicious food to douse with which delicious sauce then go to Guerra

    Came here for my wife's birthday the other day, and it was fantastic. The steaks (hangar), el fuego shrimp, roasted mushrooms, creamed spinach, and mashed potatoes were all delicious. And they made a special salad for my daughter who couldn't find exactly what she wanted on the menu. They brought out a special dark chocolate mousse and candle for my wife's birthday, and the family shared our own dark chocolate mousse and mango sorbet. Both were also great! (Only mistake was we ordered milk instead of dark chocolate, but we were willing to overlook it) Service was also great. Will definitely return.

    This was my first time here and I'm impressed by the food and service we received. The waitress (i think her name was Camilla) was very sweet, patient, and accommodating to the meat temperature me and my family requested. Some of us like our steak well done (I know some of you claim it's a culinary sin but I don't want me steak mooing). Me and my mom ordered well done ribeyes and it was still juicy. I've only trusted one restaurant too give me good well done steak. I'm happy to add another one to the list. My brother ordered the Tomahawk for 2 FOR HIMSELF, LOL. And ordered lobster Mac and Cheese, fries, and mashed potatoes to go with it. And an extra order of shrimp to go with it. He really enjoyed it as this was his first time trying Tomahawk. My Dad ordered the Cowboy Steak and was impressed with the taste and tenderness. Each steak came with a side of mashed potatoes and even the side was delicious and well seasoned. The waitress made our dining experience great. She always checked in on us, helped us with recommendations on steaks based on our requested temperatures, and gave us a complimentary dessert for our birthday celebration. Though the price is expensive, the experience, staff, and food made the trip worth it.

    11/10. O. M. G. Mouth watering steak with juicy super flavorful toppings to choose from. When the weather is nice, the outside seating area is decorated so nicely and even though you're in a strip mall it doesn't feel like it! The cocktails were super tasty as well! Our server was knowledgeable and lead us through the whole menu. I had a FABULOUS experience here and I'm telling my friends all about it!

    Amazing steakhouse in Rosslyn. Although a little inconspicuous on the outside, the inside is quite nice. The staff is extremely nice and attentive. They gave great recommendations (the shrimp appetizer is great). We ordered a rare steam and a lobster mac and cheese. Both were delicious. The steam came out a little medium rare on the ends and the waiter doubled check with us after seeing it himself to see if we were ok with it. We didn't mind and I was impressed with the proactiveness of the waiters. They're extremely nice and want to take care of you. They're grill on charcoal so it is very impressive that they perfectly cook everything with such precision. Definitely a hidden gem in Rosslyn, which has so many mid tier corporate food.

    Mac and cheese side

    Ordered the Malbec. Caesar no croutons, ribeye medium rare with blue cheese crumbles, and side of Mac and cheese. We sat outside and the ambiance was really nice- mostly due to the restaurant next door! They had lots of colorful lights and it was dark outside. Wine was good. Loved my Caesar salad. Mac and cheese was good- not too dry or too wet; good flavor. Steak was ok. My medium rare was a few minutes over and my friend's medium rare steak was a few minutes under cooked.

    Tried Guerra for dinner and had a good experience. Service was great and ambience was nice. The restaurant is very small so thankfully it wasn't packed but you can easily take part in conversations nearby being seated that close. The steak was good but the chimmichurri wasn't as flavourful as I'm used to and the mashed potatoes needed Something more... butter? Salt?

    Do they have a children's menu?

    Not when I went there, but they were accommodating when we wanted to change around one of the dishes for our daughter.

    Do you need to make a reservation?

    While reservations are not required, I recommend making reservations. The restaurant gets busy and is tiny yet mighty. We got lucky there was a table open that had reservations in an hour and a half after we arrived. They kindly asked if we’d be… 

    Where is the parking?

    There is parking in front of the establishment (it's a small strip plaza with multiple businesses which has its own parking lot). There is also street parking and a parking garage across the street.… 

    Are there heaters or warmers for outdoor seating?

    Definitely. They turned on a really cool one for us when we sat down.

    Is this place still open and real because no one is answering the phone?

    Yes it's open and the food is delicious

    Hello, what is the max guest count do you accept for reservations?

    For take out orders...are they placed through the website or by phone?

    You can place your takeout order through our website or by phone! Thank you!

    Does this place offer delivery via any 3rd party apps or by itself?

Our server Yannik was exceptional. Warm, attentive, knowledgeable, the kind of server who makes a special occasion actually feel special. The moment you walk in, the space wraps around you. Warm wood, soft lighting, an atmosphere that feels intimate without being cramped, the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and stay a while. The team went above and beyond when they learned I don't drink: they gifted us a non-alcoholic wine, a complimentary appetizer, and dessert. That kind of hospitality isn't scripted... it's felt. Now, the food. The housemade sourdough with eucalyptus honey butter is dangerous, I could have stopped there and been happy. The roasted carrot salad with hazelnut dukkah and garlic toum was one of those dishes that makes you rethink a vegetable entirely. The garlic knots had no business being that good... crispy, layered, almost croissant-like, deeply garlicky in the best way. For pasta we had the pappardelle with spicy roasted pork ragù and fennel breadcrumbs, and the canastra cheese ravioli with wild garlic pesto and brazil nut pangrattato, that stunning deep green dish topped with chive blossoms looked like art and tasted even better. Both pastas were perfect. Then the Brazilian budino with coconut caramel and toasted coconut came out with a little candle tucked in. I nearly cried. This is a restaurant that treats every table like it matters. We will absolutely be back.

The building itself has a narrative to it, but it's the centrality of this respite from 'everywhere else' that makes Tryst stand out, lets it occupy memories of comfort and hospitality in my mind, keeps pulling at me to visit time and again.

Personally, I've visited Tryst more time than I can count, and at literally all time of the day.

I love how cozy the space is, with their slightly worn but super comfy couches and armchairs, dim lighting, and ambient cafe music. The staff is super friendly; you can either order from the counter if you're taking your order to go or just snag a spot and wait for the servers to make their way to you.

I was very excited about the French-Canadian, always-changing menu. Physical Exam: Taste - The Prime Rib Sando was a preemo sandwich of balanced cheese and meat between two slices of toasty sourdough. The Cheeseburger Americain was a standard 3.5 out of 5 American cheeseburger that beats the average suburban chain restaurant burger with its double patty and sesame bun, but isn't gonna knock your socks off like a steakhouse burger. The poutine kept my socks on too (I was particularly excited about the poutine and ended up a tad underwhelmed). The biggest disappointment was the mozzarella sticks, which...... I'll just get to in the service part. Cocktails were mid. All interesting concepts, but most missed the mark. the Polar Express was a little too sweet, I forgot what the name of the riff on an old fashioned or Manhattan I had but that was okay, and the Fleur de Citron tasted like when you ask for a Sprite and they ask, "Is Sierra Mist (now Starry) okay?" and you reply, "yeah that's fine," but then what you get is actually a flat 7-Up. Ambiance - This place runs on vibes like America runs on Dunkin'. Live DJ, neon lights, feels like a place you wanna eat a little, dance a little, drink a little. Fun place. Tanked by the service. Skip to the Assessment/Plan if you don't want to read this novella retelling of our evening. Service - Relatively early for the dinner service, we were the largest and one of only a few tables in the restaurant. I counted 3 other tables seated (small parties of less than 4 each) and a few patrons at the bar. It took about 20 minutes before we first got our menus and the guy who handed them to us didn't say a word just dropped them off. Then it took another 20 minutes before he came back to get our drink orders, and 1) seemed like he was having a bad day, which... fine, but 2) was rolling his eyes when some of us were a little between some options and wanted a recommendation, which... alright my guy let's chill. We weren't talking loud, we weren't drinking before and being obnoxious, we just wanted to ask about what some of the drinks were like on a very cool menu of cocktails we haven't tried anywhere else. Upon returning with our drinks, he accidentally spilled a not insignificant amount on my friend sitting across from me, and while we reacted and started handing him extra napkins, he just glanced at him, finished giving out the drinks, and walked away. No "oops", "my bad", "oh let me get you some paper towels", nothing. So at this point, we're all staring at each other like "Did we do something? Do we smell?" Whatever, friend's birthday, we've been talking about this cabin weekend for several years and it's finally happening, let's just vibe. Now another 20 minutes went by and we were getting antsy because we wanted to order our food but it looked like there wasn't a lot of staff, and we didn't want to upset anyone by hurrying them. Another man came over who we thought was going to take our orders. Nope. He starts picking up our menus so I say, "Oh, hey we haven't ordered yet." To which he replies, "OK, but I need the menus." Alright cool, yeah, that makes sense if he needed them for other tables and can leave us with a few to share. Nope. He just took them and placed them back at the host stand. Awkward stares across the table again. Whatever, we had enough, I guess. Tick tock, tick tock. A third guy came over, and when he smiled and asked, "Hi are you all ready to order?" I was like "Oh finally a human being!" Food took another 20-ish minutes while we nursed our drinks and really had no interest in ordering another round (not that anyone asked us). We ate. We chatted. We had an okay time. We were super ready to get out of there. Oh right, the mozz sticks. Le Mont'zarella sticks. They had one order left of four sticks for $18. We were one of the first diners. You can imagine after all the above, that's just a major facepalm emoji. Assessment/Plan: Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God pray for Le Mont Royal to improve their service, now and at the hour of ASAP, because the place has so much potential, and maybe it was just an off night, or the staff just finished arguing with each other in the back so they took it out on us, but dearly beloved Lord it was like we offended nine generations of their ancestry from the moment we walked in. With "a 22% service charge has been added for your convenience," I thought we were getting Punk'd. The always-changing French-Canadian menu is a cool and unique concept, but it's a lot of bark with very little bite. It didn't make the disappointing service worth it.
