I was invited to The Trust for a business lunch on a Tuesday at the end of Jan. The place was only about 10% full. It looked impressive with comfortable chairs and room between tables. The waiters were attentive but not helpful nor friendly.

After an average coffee and some very dried and ordinary bread, we ordered lunch. Two of us (of 4) ordered the only risotto in the menu. It was a huge mistake. It looked most unappetising and It Tasted - Awful. It tasted and smelled burnt and was quite dry. After 2 mouthfuls, I toyed with the thought of returning it But decided best not to return there. I only managed to finish 4 spoons and asked the waiter to clear my plate. To my surprise he did not notice that (nor bother ask why) most of the food was returned.

My fellow risotto diner after toying with his plate ate the best part of his risotto but also left a lot back on his plate. To be fair, the 2 other with us seemed not to worry with their meal.

I may have to go back as it did suit the purpose of our business lunch but this time I’ll try another main course.

I love this place its very close to work we have had a few work functions here and regularly have lunch the service is great, they have a specials board this is always different and their A La Carte menu is fantastic very good value for money. We also head down for the occasional after work drink, a great selection of beers both on and off tap and a huge cocktail list. They really have done a good job at preserving a great building and getting the atmosphere just right.

The trust is a hidden little gem on little Flinders st. I say hidden as you could easily walk past it from the outside and not realize that there's a bar/restaurant in there. The ambience is a little mixed, the original marble floors have been retained so in winter it can be a little cold but in summer it is perfect. Also I would suggest not going on a Friday or possible Saturday nights if they have a band playing. Because of the marble floors the acoustics cause the music to just bounce around the whole place and as a result it can be very loud and hard to hear yourself over dinner!

However, I have also been here for lunch and the atmosphere was much better. The service on both occasions that I have visited has been perfect. The food is also very good, I have had gnocchi, calamari, the fried cheese and all are very nice. The beers are also nice and cold, and there are also couches that you can relax on. The Trust is the best out of a number of pubs/bars in the area for food.

The new chef at the Trust has really turned the food around and is producing some of the best in Melbourne. I had a meal here for my birthday and the veal ravioli is to die for! Still bashing out great cocktails too, it's a great combo with the bar and restaurant.
