Trust sits on Park Blvd in Hillcrest, describing itself as a neighborhood restaurant first — a place meant for regulars to gather, celebrate, and order another round. The kitchen works over an open flame, leaning on bold, simply cooked flavors and seasonal ingredients sourced through relationships with local farmers and purveyors. Wine and cocktails are treated as part of the meal itself, not an afterthought to the food.
Beef tartare and the baby gem salad have become the dishes diners mention most, alongside a cocktail and small-plates program that's built a following of its own.
San Diego Magazine named Trust to its Best Restaurants list in 2025, and Michelin has included it as a Selected restaurant in San Diego every year from 2021 through 2026.
