Trust looks like another hip, upscale Meatpacking District lounge, but it's actually the most democratic space to open west of Eighth Avenue in recent years. Hordes of fresh-faced young professionals press together around the main bar and lounge area beneath obligatory flat screen TVs; off to the side, the restaurant seats about 70. The simple, serene decor looks expensive, but it's actually built for punishment.
The food is better than you'd expect, though somewhat overpriced: simple, effective snacks include lobster rolls spiced with tamarind and rolled up in taco-like wraps, and a combination raw salmon, tuna and yellowtail tartare. Not surprisingly, many of the dishes are aimed at the bar crowd, but main courses like pork tenderloin encrusted with mustards and herbs, and halibut with escarole, gnocchi and tomato fondue will satisfy those in search of a proper meal. |
