Hands down to one of the best places in Boston, which are not many. Food mind blowing, service is very kind and caring. Loved the music and ambiance is beautiful.

We had an amazing dining experience while celebrating our wedding anniversary! The food was absolutely fantastic — the Beef Wellington was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, the octopus dish was tender and delicious, and the feta and pear plate was fresh and beautifully balanced.
What really made the evening special was the wonderful service by Javier and Cristina. They were warm, attentive, and went out of their way to make our celebration feel extra special.
Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a memorable meal with exceptional service, especially for a special occasion. Can’t wait to come back!

I was there to catch up with a friend so the quiet ambience and excellent service and food made Trade a good pick. We only had the grilled eggplant and my favorite tuna crudo bowl with water, but the bill came out to nearly $75 with tip. (This is perhaps due to inflation as I have not gone to eat out that often nowadays.)

When we arrived at TRADE for lunch, the noise level was high enough to make me wonder if we could hear each other. As ours was a late lunch, the place emptied soon, and was delightful from there on. The food was inventive and delicious, the staff welcoming and solicitous, and the bill, though on the high side, reflective of the quality. This was my first visit there. It won't be the last. Great location near South Station.

Excellent service, ambiance and food. Kudos to all staff and special kudos to Voula, the manager!!

Always an amazing experience when we dine at Trade.  The food and service is always above and beyond.

What an incredible experience!!! An extreme joy from start to finish! The staff here are so kind, attentive and thorough. From being greeted, seated, to our table being wiped and cutlery being changed between dishes served was just impeccably high standards. The drinks were finely crafted and extremely creative! The bartenders truly knew what they were doing. The zero proofs were delicious too. I had the peach lemonade with mint. I could taste the fresh peach nectar and lemon. For only $6 it was an absolute steal. Thoroughly impressed but then there was the food. There was not one thing that we could say that was mediocre, everything was delicious, elevated to stunning perfection. Octopus with polenta, a combination I didn’t think would pair but it did beautifully. The garlic shrimp came with a sauce good enough to drink and the tuna tartare was flavourful and fresh. The signature lamb meatballs were excellent but the lamb arancini were better. The baked feta with roasted grapes and olives was just so decadent the flavours danced across my tongue. Everything was outstanding but the filet Wellington was wrapped in phyllo pastry and had this luscious mushroom gravy that had so much depth of flavour I kept wanting to go back for more!!! I think that this makes perfect sense as the chef is a two time James Beard Award Winner and let me tell you he lives up to his name through the complexity and deliciousness of the food here at Trade!! Last but not least I must give special recognition to Ervis!! He not only is a talented server but treats the occupation as an art. Expertly explaining details about the restaurant and the menu. Not only describing and suggesting but truly but guiding us through what was the most exceptional meal in Boston.

Our waiter was very communicative and helpful in judging portions, companion drinks and in describing the dishes. It was if he were a part of the kitchen staff also. We ordered 3 appetizers 1 salad and 1 entree for two people as we love to try new dishes. Each dish was delicious. Even though portions were reasonable we still took some of every dish but the salad (finished at the restaurant) home for enjoyment the next day. We ate in a more quiet area so we could enjoy our own conversation. We would go back in a heartbeat.

Food was well prepared and flavorful. Service was transactional, could not find waiter for decent chunks of time even though he was polite. I showed up while they were open, but before 5. It felt like I was an inconvenience rather than appreciated. Atmosphere is beautiful, the music is unbearably loud. Very difficult to have a conversation.

what do you say about one of the best restaurants in boston: that trade boasts great management and an awesome wait team? that the food is innovative bordering on spectacular and consistent? that the wine list is excellent and fairly priced? i know what to say: if you don't dine at trade it is a grave mistake. go now!!!
The food was great. However our server forgot the mezze plate for a table.of 5. We had to remind him.once we got the entrees. He altogether forgot our wine so by the time he came around again (halfway through a group lunch, there was no point in asking for the wine). The food was delicious, just wish the service had been better. We had planned on ordering dessert but bailed on that idea as service was so slow. The coffee was delicious.

I don't often write "outstanding" but Trade deserves it. I love the freshness, detail of items , interior design, and level of service. I love the Greek energy and good energetic music.
Gail
We loved the food and service. The noise level was way to much for us. It was difficult to talk with each other.

This kick off dinner for our wedding weekend was PERFECT. An out of town guest from Dallas had never been to Boston, and the elegant ambiance and sophistication of the food made an amazing first impression. TRADE is a fabulous food destination. Gary T

Delicious food, we ordered so many different dishes and they were consistently great, especially the pizza and meats/fish
