    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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!

She made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down and checked on us just the right amount. We ordered two BEC sandwiches, which sadly are no longer on the menu, but wow, they were delicious! The bacon was cooked to perfection, crispy and flavorful, and everything tasted fresh and satisfying. Instead of the greens, we opted for the Million Dollar Potatoes and they were super yum! Such a tasty choice and the perfect addition to the meal. Great service, delicious food, and a lovely breakfast experience. Thank you, Arely, for taking such good care of us. We will definitely be back!

The interior is pretty long with a large number of seating inside the building so we had no trouble getting seated right away by the hostess. We decided on food relatively quickly due to previous experience with the business, however, our waiter never came around to take our orders or even give us water at the table. We saw one girl with dyed hair who unassumingly could have been our waiter since she was in our section but only worked with one particular table and ran to the back after each time, but never addressed our table or came by. We eventually had to flag a different waiter down who was able to help us place the order and service us for the rest of our visit, she also informed us that this other "Waiter" was supposed to help us but she wasn't sure why she never made an attempt to do so after having us wait 20 mins and other tables were being serviced. We ordered Flordian French Toast and Elote Breakfast Burrito (plus a couple sides and drink) which were both really good, and filling. Prices weren't too bad for what we ordered and was able to take our mind off of the rather long wait to get helped. Not sure if we'll come back to this particular location again, but it was nice trying the restaurant out another time.

    The Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort has a beautiful setting with incredible mountain views, great…read morewalking areas, and a classic Arizona resort feel. The staff was friendly throughout our stay, and the overall property has a relaxing atmosphere that makes it easy to enjoy the sunshine and scenery. We booked an upgraded suite with a separate bedroom and TV room, which gave us plenty of space to spread out. While the layout was great, the room itself could use some updates. The bathroom fixtures were older--the Kohler toilet didn't flush well and was a bit noisy, and the tub/shower combo had rounded sides that made it tricky to stand comfortably. The shower water also never got fully hot. The room had a slightly musty smell, and the carpets would benefit from a deep cleaning. The balcony screen door didn't close tightly, which let a few flies in, and access to the second floor required two sets of stairs since there's no elevator in that section. Even with those issues, the resort's location, views, and overall vibe made the stay enjoyable. With some room refreshes and a bit more maintenance attention, this could easily be a standout property. The setting alone is worth experiencing.

    I was looking for a good staycation while also earning American Airlines AAdvantage miles and…read moreloyalty points to maintain my status for another year. I found a great AAdvantage Hotel deal at the Hilton Phoenix Tapatio Cliffs Resort and booked it. While it was a great success of a visit in terms of AAdvantage miles and loyalty points, my actual experience at the hotel itself was less to be desired due to the customer service and a big snafu on their part. I also have Hilton Gold status, though as I booked the hotel through a third party site (AAdvantage Hotels), I could see the stay and the stay history in my Hilton app, but I did not receive any benefits for staying there, which was fine as I didn't expect any anyone. I arrived in person to check in and already reserved and prepaid for a King 1 Bedroom Standard Suite, which had a nice view and reasonably spacious room (but not too much larger than a regular room at another hotel). The room was certainly not upgraded though there was parking available right in front of the entrance. I did not receive anything else at check-in nor did it appear that I'd get my regularly complimentary water. I did pay the daily resort charge which includes high speed internet access, access to the Falls Water Village, an hour at the tennis/pickleball court, an hour at the afternoon golf practice facility, two hours for a mountain bike rental, 20% off seasonal spa services, and 15% off select golf apparel. While I didn't use it, I had easy view and access to the Falls Water Village where you could lounge and play all day on their sun-marked terrace where you could find free-form pools, hot tubs, and cabanas. They even have a 138-foot enclosed water slide. When I checked out, I was told that a bill would be sent to me shortly since I did it on the app early, and when I received the bill, there was a charge for my room at the restaurant at the top of the hill called A Different Point of View. The catch is that I never went to eat there during my stay (or at any onsite restaurant since I live in the area and had my meals offsite). I reached out to the hotel who insisted that I did go there to eat. I promised them I didn't eat anywhere onsite and that they need to look at the receipt and see if it actually has my room number. They confirmed it did and that this meant I ate there. I told them to find my name on it and let me know if it was on there. After several more back and forth conversations, they confirmed it wasn't me and would remove the charge. They then mistakenly charged me double. Then they removed one charge, but it took more than a week before they removed the other charge. By the end of the exchanges, it felt like they were blaming me for their own mistake. While the resort is aged and rather pleasant, there certainly are training issues regarding the customer service offered at this property. I do not plan on staying here again in the future.
