Just tried Tryst for the first time last week....we sat at the bar and had a great bartender. The food was great and service was good. We would like to have sat at the tables in the bar area, but it was crowded. A few more high top tables would be good, but otherwise a nice place to go for a drink and casual dinner.
Pros: atmosphere

Arlington being a "dry" town doesn't have any bars, per se, but if you want a drink you can get one with a meal - or just an appetizer- so one heads to Tryst. At lest that is what most Arlingtonians that I know say to do . . . I'm new in town & I have been a few times with friends who wanted a drink.
The drinks are fine. The appetizers are good. the service is not what it should be. There is a difference between an unobtrusive server and one that ignores her/his customers.
I recently went f or a meal with friends. Do not s it in the back area. It is a dead zone. Uncomfortable booths. Unattractive decor. Stick in the front & sit at one of the small tables or at the bar. The back dining room looks like an after thought. And we sort of felt we ere too while having our meal there.
Pros: You can get a drink in Arlington
Cons: you have to order it from one of their "haters"

The previous review was written by an irrational guest who had refused to pay for her coffee. After drinking two cups she said that she didn't drink coffee and that it should have been free.

The worst customer service, rude and insulting,
the food was mediocre, and mistakes on the bill.
I do not recommend this restaurant.

More wines by the glass than anywhere else in town. The steak tartare is better than any I have had downtown, the service is great; comfortable and attentive without being intrusive. Make reservations can be busy any night of the week. I have been to several functions held there and had a great time, its a great place to have a party. I like the cocktail list too.
Pros: Wine list & service
Cons: may need a reservation

Hostess suggested undesireable seating but thats probably her job. Anyway my request for change was honored and I had an amazing meal (again). All things considered, as enjoyable as many downtown dining experiences and easy parking to boot. Perfect for a mid-week treat, very popular on the weekends, small (but intimate) bar. Try it you'll like it.

Headed to Tryst for a couple drinks at the bar with the plan to move to a table afterwards for dinner. However, we loved the feel of sitting at this bar so much that we dined a la bar :) My fiance and I had a few glasses of wine and ordered 4 appetizers for a more tapas appeal. The shrimp appetizer was not much to write home about (somewhat bland) but the mussles were VERY good! Our flatbread and mediterranean salad were fantastic as well. If you are looking for a place to sit and enjoy a cocktail or two, this place is great!

We waited 25 minutes before finally caving in from starvation to ask our waiter for bread, then another 20 minutes before I was served my first course. The food was nothing spectacular- it's not worth it if you can get much better service and better tasting entrees in the City. The dessert (butterscotch banana tart) was good though, but not enough to bring my bf or I back.
Pros: Dessert
Cons: Poor service, too pricey for what you get

My wife and I found the Sunday brunch experience delightful. There was a jazz quartet which played Woody Allen type (Honeysuckle Rose) music. The dishes are creative. I had a nice salad greens appetizer and a tortilla+eggs over black beans entree and my wife had French toast with berries. We cannot comment on the beverages as we tend to be teetotalers before dinner. But we found the whole brunch experience romantic and delightful.
Pros: the ambience was wonderful
Cons: they didn't have sugar-free syrup for my diabetic wife's French toast
