Black-owned and operating since 2016, Trust anchors the five-concept Trust Restaurant Group from its wood-fired kitchen at 3752 Park Blvd in Hillcrest. The group's Mission Hills sibling, Fort Oak, extends the same Santa Maria-style grilling philosophy into a mid-century supper-club format. Seasonal menus rotate weekly around relationships with Southern California farmers and purveyors, building shared plates of charred vegetables, whole-animal proteins, and house-baked bread. Wine-and-pasta nights at the group's Cardellino in Mission Hills offer a handmade-noodle counterpoint to Trust's open-flame focus. The kitchen handles multi-course prix-fixe dinners and full-restaurant buyouts, plating wood-grilled whole fish, braised brisket, and seasonal tasting menus that change with each week's farm harvest.
