What People Are Saying About Trestle On Tenth

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.

This is a really nice little place in Chelsea, and the perfect spot to grab a bite to eat before or after an art opening. I've been there three times and each time the food was excellent. Very friendly service.

Bad service. Staff sitting at the small bar using up the space on a Friday night. Bartender tried hard enough, but manager was surly and nasty, as if she was doing us a favor by allowing us to be there. Drinks? Eh. Expensive and trendy. The experience was so unpleasant it's hard to comment on the food -- edible if you can stomach the hauty attitude and the atmosphere of "we are too cool for you."
