Chef Brad Wise's wood-fired modern American room in Hillcrest
We send guests to Trust when they want San Diego's wood-fire cooking at its source.

Sit anywhere along the dining room and you watch the flame do the work, from charred vegetables to prime cuts pulled off the grill at the right moment. The menu is built for sharing, organized around the things the fire does best, and the cooking stays bold without ever feeling heavy.
