    Simple breakfast plate with eggs and redskin potatoes
    Ken R.

    Quaint little restaurant nicely across the street from the crazy that can be Desert Ridge. Great spot for breakfast and lunch with freshly prepared food and great portions. The service is always top-knotch and friendly.

    Nothing changes a good experience like not getting any service for a while. So an alert.... ***This place doesn't have the staff to run this operation. We waited almost half hour for someone to simply come pick up our order. & I think it wasn't more only cause I got up to please ask someone for service. There's no worse waste than a lovely place in an amazing location with an out of the park menu but no one to delivery or service. Itssssss a waste!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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

It's their take on bruschetta, although I'd describe it more as a flatbread. It comes topped with honey smoked salmon, jalapeño cream cheese, red onion, crispy fried capote capers, chili oil, lemon, and parsley. The flavors were good, especially the honey smoked salmon, but unfortunately it had very little jalapeño cream cheese. Without it, the flatbread was a little dry. I also would have loved a little more chili oil and lemon. The cream cheese would have added the richness it needed. Thankfully, our other dishes were great. We ordered the Smorgasbord, which is consistently fabulous, and split the Humble Caesar, one of our all-time favorites. Those two dishes never disappoint. Humble Bistro continues to be one of favorites. If I order The Kosher again I would ask they make sure and add cream cheese.

Best Bolognese in town in my opinion. The staff was more than accommodating.

This was years ago, before the speakeasy existed. I remember we were greeted at the table with glasses of champagne. Service was impeccable, food was delicious. We had one of the best desserts of our lives. 10/10 first impression. We went back maybe a year later after the speakeasy was built in, and it seemed like all their attention went to that instead. They were out of a bunch of dishes on the menu. I remember we all got our food except for my husband and we finally had to ask the server what was going on with his dish and that's when they told us they were out of that dish he had ordered too. They offered to make something else on the house, but at this point we were all almost done with our food so he ended up with nothing. They did try to make it right, I'll give them that, but it was a weird experience. We decided to give the restaurant one last try for my mom's birthday over the weekend and it solidified our opinions on this place. First of all, it's EXPENSIVE. I get it's Scottsdale but they are trying way too hard with $80 ribeyes and $1500 bottles of wine, but not giving you anything for it. Don't get me wrong, I'll enjoy an expensive meal when I feel it's warranted. The food, service, details need to go above and beyond to justify my $500+ tab. That's just not the case here. The server didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Didn't even offer a birthday dessert? We ordered salads before our meals and our entrees showed up two minutes later. My sister had her leftover pasta boxed up and they never brought it back. She asked about it and they said they could fire her a new one, but we were ready to go at this point. These are not issues you should be having at an upscale restaurant at this price point. After all this, we won't be returning. There are much better restaurants at lesser price points that offer amazing food with above and beyond experience. Everyone try Restaurant Progress instead!
