Surprisingly limited entrees, and not cheap. – 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 – 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.

delicious! – 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 – 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.

Good Neighborhood Spot – 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.

Refreshing main dishes, best sorbets ever! – 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!

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.

A melting pot of Swiss and American styles combine in a homey neighborhood bistro. – 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... read more

Best crepinette of pork; Wonderful bartenders – I've eaten at Trestle 3 times now and, quite frankly, it gets better every time. The menu keeps changing (I think 3 times now!) and its only been open 6 weeks. As everyone has said, the crepinette is great, but so is the lamb saddle and the monkfish. I recommend sitting at the bar for a apertif with with one of the two bartenders (Joe and Destin, I think). They're charming and a reason to sit at the bar and eat. Forget the Cheslea Commons; this is what the neighborhood needs.
