Editorial Review for Trestle on Tenth – by Kathleen Squires
The Scene
Chelsea gallery types and stylish neighborhood couples gather around the rustic wood tables inside the cozy yet clamorous brick-walled room. A wood-slatted ceiling adds an Alpine touch while the walls reflect the area's art scene by doubling as an exhibit space. Those seeking a quieter ambience retreat to the back garden.
The Food
Comfort food doesn't have to be heavy according to Swiss-born chef Ralf Kuettel, who turns out a homey menu with sparingly culled flavors. Meaty frog's legs include a light touch of tarragon, for example, and a thick square of Arctic char gravlax with horseradish dill cream carries the hallmark of hearty, cleanly flavored European cuisine. Meat eaters will especially love the juicy, rosemary-embellished lamb saddle, but a too-naked pork loin could use bolder seasoning. The uncomplicated nusstorte, a shortbread crust covering caramel-drizzled walnuts, and a creme fraiche-enlightened blueberry tart show that Swiss desserts go well beyond chocolate fondue.

Food is fine, staff can be unprofessional, and at times incompetent. Often off duty staff remains at the bar.
Pros: food
Cons: staff

Felt misled by some reviews. Few choices for entrees. Highly vaunted lamb was three small pieces, tender and with tiny amount of greens. Sides are extra, making main course expensive. Wine was poured to 1/3 glass capacity. We are middle aged and were seated all the way in the rear, although plenty of empty tables in front and middle. The front was filled with glitzy younge folk when we left. An experience that doesn't bear repeating
