Terrible service

by marie43 at Citysearch

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."

• Pros: Good selection of cheese
• Cons: Surly staff, noisy, never ever go with more than 2 people

Staff owned restaurant

by rwf at Citysearch

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

• Pros: food
• Cons: staff

Surprisingly limited entrees, and not cheap.

by lenke at Citysearch

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

Bistro Flare

by luccansummer at Citysearch

What a discovery! This Chelsea bistro offered a wonderful introduction into the possibilities of Swiss-American cuisine. Trestle's fresh combinations of meats and cheeses, fish and greens created a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. Great atmosphere too....enough energy to feel like a night out, but cozy enough to engage in an intimate conversation.

• Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Service

delicious!

by laura_ie at Citysearch

a friend and i ate here saturday night, and the food was amazing -- subtle and deep. we started with the cheese and meat selection, which included a memorable fan-shaped swiss cheese. for the main course, we each had a fish, perfectly tender and moist, dressed with savory sauces... and for dessert, we highly recommend the stout chocolate cake, which was to die for. the ambience was intimate, warm, and humming with guests, perfect for an evening of romance or a long-belated conversation with a close friend.

A bit disappointed

by lauramy at Citysearch

Went to Trestle On Tenth because I have never had Swiss cuisine before. They have a great wine list and my server was very friendly and knowledgeable. But I was somewhat disappointed to find that most of the dishes are the usual American cuisine. I was hoping for more Swiss influence in the dishes than they have. The atmosphere is nice and casual. I had salmon for my entree, and I thought it was cooked perfectly. Overall it's pretty good, but I probably won't recommend it too highly to others.

• Pros: Good wine list and helpful staff
• Cons: Average food

Good Neighborhood Spot

by npandela at Citysearch

Nice to have an unpretentious restaurant in Chelsea that still serves good food and isn't a scene. The service is welcoming and the room comfortable if a bit sparse. I prefer the garden when it's warm. Food is generally very good though this is a meat eater's place. My sides were a bit disappointing but the mains usually are very good. Good wine program too.

• Pros: Good neighborhood spot, Warm Service

Refreshing main dishes, best sorbets ever!

by kimber111 at Citysearch

Pleasant atmosphere, modern but rustic decor. Great welcoming service helped with the annoyance of having to wait for a table. Appetizers not particuarly interesting, Good main courses, especially lamb. BEST sorbet flavours I've had anywhere - powerful, fresh, natural homemade sorbets were the highlight of the meal!

• Pros: Great desserts, Get the sorbet trio!
• Cons: Waiting despite reservation, not the most interesting main dishes

cozy spot

by dineout19 at Citysearch

This is a great cozy spot. I went the otehr night and teh place aws crowded and I had no reservation so waited about 20 minutes. It is very cozy with a nice eclectic crowd both gay and artsy. The food is very simple comfort but nice. You don't leave feeling gross satisfied like you ate at mom's. It won't be your best meal ever but you'll be very happy and reasonable prices make it a recommend.

• Pros: cozy and nice service
• Cons: wines by the glass a bit weak
