Editorial Review for Tryg's – by Donna Tabbert Long

In Short
A stylishly huge space boasts a soaring copper-domed ceiling, liberal use of stone and glass and a blazing fireplace. The dining area offers great views of Lake Calhoun, just across the street. The chef's contemporary spin on American cooking blends flair with gratifying flavor--from the veal meat loaf sandwich with kalamata olive ketchup to pan-roasted scallops with Parmesan risotto. The music calendar features live tunes on Wednesdays and a DJ on Saturdays.

Nice casual American restaurant. Went with a group and pretty much everyone liked the food although they have terrible french fries. Nice location close to lake Calhoun. Reasonable priced, our waiter was very slow with orders/refill/bill, but nice when he did show up.

Pros: Nice atmospher/decor

Cons: Fries, slow service.

I was at Tryg's in the end of March 08' with a large party and we were all very let down. The overall apperance of the restaurant was good, but every cocktail we had tasted terrible! we thought we might eventually get one that tasted alright, but never did. While sitting in the bar waiting, we got a cold shoulder felling from the cocktail waitress we had. When we sat down to eat, we had a young waiter who did not know much about the menu and had very slow service. The quickest drink we ordered at the table literally took 20 minutes to come. The waiter just kept saying they were coming, but probably just kept forgetting to get them. Our waiter never asked to take our dinner orders, so after a 25 minutes of sitting there we finally had to find him and tell him we wanted to order. Of the meals I know were ordered were several roast chicken dishes, the skirt steak, the only hamburger on the menu, the scallops and the grilled meatloaf. The only decent one was the meatloaf, but no one else liked their meals at all. The chicken was dry and tasteless, the scallops did not impress, the skirt steak had flavor, but it wasn't good, and the burger was over done and tasted like a mystery meat. However, the french fries were good, and they came with a fantastic honey mustard sauce for dipping, So if you want to pay for a decently priced meal that tastes bad just for the french fries, be my guest. I and my party will NOT EVER RETURN to Tryg's restaurant and will never recommend it to anyone.

Pros: Ambience, Valet Parking

Cons: Service, Food, Cocktails
