I'll start with the positives. The Free parking was a plus. The atmosphere and food presentation were both good. However, the appearance of the food does not match the taste or quality. I ordered the catfish and grits with a side of skillet potatoes. The grits were stone ground which made them course and gritty. The taste was just ok, really nothing to brag about. The plate came with two large pieces of " catfish" the catfish had a very thick crust that was hard to cut into with the sides of my fork. Once I broke into it, it was hollow and I could see the flat pale piece of fish that was inside. The fish was of very poor quality. I don't think it was catfish, I really think it was Swai fish but didn't think to ask until after leaving. The skillet potatoes were salty. I didn't order any alcohol but I did have a watermelon lemonade which tastes like flavored sweet water. I didn't taste any lemonade. I changed it to strawberry lemonade and again no signs of lemonade, just flavored sweet water. I literally ate a few forks of grits and a small portion of the " catfish" I asked for a to go box because I didn't want to be rude and leave that much food on the table but I had no plans to eat it later. That was my order. My friend ordered the shrimp and grits. It came with 5 shrimp and barely and sauce, she had to request additional sauce. My plate was $24 and hers was $28. Our theory is the reason the shrimp cost more is because you can't fake shrimp but you can use a cheaper quality of fish and entomb it in a thick crust to hide its poor quality. She had the same complaint about the grits and also mentioned that the sauce only had a few pieces of sausage. She also ordered the strawberry lemonade and came to the same conclusion as I did regarding the lack of lemonade taste. Again, the vibe and the esthetics are there and if that's what you're looking for then Tryst is the restaurant for you. If you're looking for tasty high quality food, then you might wanna try somewhere else. read more
