Had high expectations but my experience fell flat. They plate their dishes beautifully but I found the flavours surprisingly lacked depth? Portions are small for the price. Atmosphere and service were good however we were disappointed with the 90-minute time limit, so our catch up time was cut short.

Fabulous spot for tapas-style dining. If you like having a little bit of everything when you eat, Tryst is the spot for you. Wonderful little plates that are full of flavour and priced fairly is what we got. The bread and salted butter is excellent. We really enjoyed the chicken skins too.Modest footprint in the winter. Summer weather allows for more tables on the patio. Atmosphere was lively and everyone was enjoying themselves. We don’t drink wine, but the menu was extensive.Highly recommend checking this place out. It was worth the drive out to St. Albert.

I love this little place for a date night. They have a cozy atmosphere and a great patio. The charcuterie is super yummy, and so are they fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. Great drink list. The menu is seasonal, and sometimes the dishes can be hit or miss, but super tasty for the most part. The staff are amazingly friendly, but service can be a bit slow from time to time. As long as you're not in a rush, no biggie. Still love this place.

Overpriced for the quality and quantity. I was excited to try this place out because of the good reviews but geeze, what a letdown. I'm all for paying top dollar for amazing food, even if the portions are small but brunch here is underwhelming. The shortrib hash was bland despite the mouthwatering menu description, eggs benedicts were small with no sides, and the pancakes, though tasty, were you guessed it, tiny. How these dishes are considered sharing plates is beyond me. And 5$ espressos and loose leaf tea? Get out of here. Service was verging on subpar given the small number of tables being serviced.After parting ways with the rest of our party, my partner and I went to a local cafe back in Edmonton to satisfy our hunger pangs. Shout out to Old Beverly Cafe and their butter chicken poutine for saving the day!

My wife and I went to tryst for a birthday meal for the both of us. To start with I want to say the food was quite delicious and the atmosphere was lovely. However, there were a couple of items that left us a bit disappointed. To start with, we have been to many small plate type or tapas style restaurants similar Tryst and have always had the staff guide us through the menu and make suggestions. As this was our first time at Tryst we asked our waitress to help us with their menu (we like to hear what the staff favourites might be) and unfortunately she was not really that helpful. We also asked if we should order all our plates all at once or if we should order them as we go. Our waitress said that we could order our plates all together and she would send them out kind of by the course. We started with a charcuterie board and unfortunately, halfway through, all of our plates ended up coming out all at once. This unfortunately, kind of soured the experience as we felted rushed to eat our meal while it was warm and fresh. Thinking we could enjoy a glass of wine prior to dessert, we barely ate our dessert, we were then we’re asked to clear up our bill because they had other reservations.

I would say my first dining experience at Tryst was fairly good. We were a table of three and ordered seven plates to share (one of which I forgot to take a photo of!) We were full at the end of meal and even had a couple pieces of fried butter chicken to take home. I would give four stars for the food. My favorites were the house-made sourdough bread with whipped brown butter and the ling cod.The one thing that struck me as odd was that I wouldn't call Tryst a casual" restaurant

Wow!!!!! My husband and I just had a date night here and it was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend!!!Given how amazing the food was I cannot believe how quick our service was. The staff was so friendly and inviting and this little wine bar is small but cozy.I love how casual it is but the food is definitely upscale.Check this place out. You won’t be disappointed.

Food started off really strong. I highly recommend the sourdough bread and butter, as well as the brussel sprouts which were amazing. I wish I had ordered two bowls.The garlic butter fries were good on their own, but the dip they came with did not fit the description of the fries. Wish overall this dish was more garlicky.The gnocchi was just alright. Flavor wasn't quite there and it needed more sauce with it.The fried butter chicken was good, not exactly what I was expecting but good. Forgot to take a good photo before we dived in.The rhubarb crumbled cocktail was more sweet and on the butterscotch side than rhubarby. I wanted there to be some tartness but didn't get anything.Overall the atmosphere was great, service was super fast and on it, and food came out at a good pace. If some tweaks and improvements to the food are made, this place can be a 10/10.
