You didn’t think we would leave the walls of Tryst at the Phillips café bare, did you? It’s been just over a week since the Phillips bid adieu to Sandra Cinto’s installation, but we are working on a plan to brighten the place up again. Check back in September to see what we’ve cooked up; until then, pardon our dust!

Welcome to Tryst at the Phillips

Our new cafe team is in full swing with preparations to open–arranging furniture, posting menus, cutting flowers, and concocting delicious (ideal for a rainy day) soup. Starting tomorrow, they’ll happily take your order, so be sure to stop by for a sneak preview. Tryst at the Phillips officially opens June 1.
