Trust DTSA Tapas/Small Plates
220 E 4th St, Santa Ana

“You should consider your reservation to Trust as a dinner show starring master chef Justin, sous chef Kyle, wine expert Trish and Jared, the man that makes things happen. This 13 course diner show included the absolute best bread in town, duck, steak and ravioli amongst others, finished with three different desserts. Chef Justin told story with each course served, the wine was not just served, Trish gifted with love. So did the deserts, you can tell that Kyle had poured his heart and soul into the sweets.Be on time for your reservation and bring a hungry appetite. It is worth it.“

“Round up your foodie friends because I have found THE perfect spot for your next aesthetic night out, this place will instantly transport you to a fairy garden oasis.With their seasonally inspired menu, we had to order a little bit of everything, and I recommend that you do too! Be sure to try the Gochujang fried chicken, Braised short ribs, and Brown butter cake that it is absolutely out of this world.And can’t forget about the drinks! Butterfly strawberry spritzer and Lavender lemon basil cocktails, both were super pretty and strong.Thanks for reading! ^-^“

“Always phenomenal. Great people making delicious and healthy food. One of a kind restaurant and market.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options. I opt usually for the incredible beans, which I also regularly buy and make at home. They are distributed by a company called Rancho Gordo. If you have never tried their beans and are a bean lover, life is about to get a little sweeter.Parking: Free parking behind the restaurant.“

“Wonderful service and food. It was Valentine's and despite the crowds, service was personal and attentive. The tuna rye sandwich and quiche were fresh and delicious as was the creme brulee dessert. Setting and ambience were great for conversation. Highly recommend!“

“The food options here have unfortunately changed at a fairly rapid pace in the years since covid, and it seems that with the exception of the taco and pizza places that now share a kitchen and service counter, that trend may continue.The food available is usually really good, but it seems like the vendors need a bit more business than they currently receive. Hopefully the construction finishing soon on 4th Street will help a lot.Love this place most for the barcade upstairs and it's Thursday night trivia.Parking: There are a couple paid parking structures and street spaces available, with the easiest option being caddy corner to McFadden public market on main between 4th and 5th streets. None of the options are particularly expensive.“
