St. Petersburg, FL., September 13th, 2012 – Nearly one year ago, the doors to one of St. Petersburg’s finest establishments were about to open. At the time, Tryst Gastro Lounge was a concept unlike anything else in St. Petersburg, especially on Beach Drive, featuring a combination of fine dining, contemporary design, specialty cocktails, craft beers and nightlife. “We were really excited to see the energy surrounding our opening a year ago, so many people were talking about Tryst and waiting for us to open” says Tryst owner Renaud “Reno” Cowez. Tryst Gastro Lounge opened for business on September 28th, 2011 and has since established itself one of the top dining and entertainment destinations in St. Petersburg.

“Over the past year, we have had many challenges to overcome. We have been very fortunate to have a wonderful base of customers and a dedicated staff.”

Since opening a year ago, Tryst has been named to Urban Spoon’s 250 Most Popular High-End Restaurants in America - http://www.urbanspoon.com/blog/82/Americas-Most-Popular-High-End-Restaurants.html, earned a Tampa Bay Times 2012 Ultimate Bar Award and the Tampa Bay Times Ultimate Bartender Award went to Tryst Mixologist Logan Owens - http://www.tampabay.com/features/food/spirits/at-tryst-our-ultimate-bartender-serves-cocktails-with-a-twist/1246117. When it comes to getting awards, Reno says “It’s nice to see our staff get recognized and rewarded for their efforts, we wouldn’t be where we are today without them”.

Tryst invites you to celebrate in style on Thursday, September 27th from 8-10PM. Enjoy a champagne toast, a specialty cocktail for the occasion and passed Hors D’oeurvres.
