Tryst

Tryst is the new loco locale in Clubland to try to pick up and avoid getting shot at. The space is high-class and huge making it the perfect destination for a fatal attraction tryst. Text your illicit lover and make plans to rendezvous in The Havana Lounge, the garden off of The Loft or on the dance floor in The Club. With all the nooks and crannies available at Tryst the entrepreneurial player could even plan to meet up with three of her potentials in the same evening if she played her cards right. Welcome to Tryst.



If, by the off chance, your dates discover what you’re up to and leave in a huff after tossing their drinks in your face, you won’t be hard up for company. The Havana Room with its chandeliered ceilings is a great place to strike up a conversation and have a drink with a stranger. If said stranger seems interested in learning more about you take him for a stroll along the immaculate garden path to The Loft room with its glimmering bar and starlit garden view. The new setting will inspire your new date to open up and maybe even buy you a drink. If his new-found comfort zone shows him to be an absolute freak show that just emerged from his basement after three years straight playing World Warcraft in his housecoat and ordering in Chinese, there is an available escape route. The Club is a quick staircase away where anonymous revelers rub elbows and sweat it out on the dance floor. He’ll never find you there.

My wife and I just had another great dinning experience @ Fare Bistro in Leslieville, 1097 Queen St. East. I can,t say enough about the place. They have done some wonderful things since Verveine was in the spot. But the best part are the new owners Brad Clark (formally Select Bistro) and his partner Beata.It has become one of those comfortable French neighbourhood Bistros from any town in France. The menu never fails to impress, the specials always excite me and wine list is a true oenophiles de-lite. Beata has found some true diamonds in the rough. The servings are just the right perportions, the plates are allways warmed on any hot menu item and there is never any sense of rush. I hope this wonderful Bistro gets it's just rewards and stays in the Hood for a long time to come.

I tried Tryst last night, upon reading the review. Not bad. I hadn't know the place was even there. I see myself returning... but, like the other writer noted, they need to work on crowd control (Cougars for the masses, here).
