- SSissieVIPGreater Boston •4 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoNice atmosphere, excellent service, wide variety, and good (sometimes great) food are all the reasons we continue to return to Tryst. Even unassuming choices, like the burger, are always delicious. The grilled cheese with truffled mushroom pate ("Bikini Sandwich") is a brilliant take on a classic. The salads are always fresh and interesting. The mixologists know what they are doing, and the wait staff is always cheerful, friendly, and helpful.More infoTryst RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Arlington•4.6
