Trade

I haven't written a review in a long time but after my experience last night I cannot help myself.Trade is officially my favorite restaurant in Boston! I cannot believe it has taken me this long to go! Everything from the ambiance, service and food were 20/10! Mohammed was our waiter and I cannot even begin to express how great he was. He was accommodating, gave fantastic recommendations, and kept the drinks/water flowing. At one point we had another person join us last minute so we had to move tables and he was so patient with us! Especially considering we had already had a few drinks at that point. For the food we started with the mezze & pita, lamb arancini and octopus. Holy shit those dips and pita. I could have had 100 pieces of that pita!! The lamb arancini were huge and delicious. The octopus though...I wish I got a second order of it. I can't remember what it was served on top of, I think it was a pea puree. Regardless, the octopus was grilled perfectly and whatever it was on top of was delicious as well! For my main I had the herb crusted lamb chops. I thought the lamb would be the highlight of the dish...don't get me wrong they were amazing but honestly the arrowhead cabbage was out of this world! I never thought I would love a veggie side so much. Since we decided we weren't ready to leave and apparently had no concept of how full we actually were we finished with the chocolate cake. We jokingly asked for an extra large piece and they delivered. Imagine the ideal chocolate cake and that is what we had! Overall, I will be dreaming of this meal for a long time and cannot wait to go back!!

Trade in Boston, Massachusetts is a stylish and beautiful Mediterranean restaurant led by co-owner and James Beard Award-winning Chef, Jody Adams. We love a female chef. This is an easy-shareable spot. Almost every dish is shareable. The restaurants is inspired by the Greek way of life of fostering relationships, building conversations and connections over the sharing of plates. -website Every dish seemed like it had a meaning. All dishes we tried were rich in flavor and had a connection with Mediterranean cuisine. My group enjoyed the crispy calamari, burrata, hummus and pita, spinach pizzette, and then I had the tuna and rice bowl as my entree.We went for a non-drinking lunch but I must say something about the cocktails at this spot. The cocktails are fantastic and the bar is elegant and beautiful.Just a suggestions. No big deal! On fire halloumi cheese.

Pita with dips - 1/5Spanakopita pizza - 1/5Mushroom pizza 2/5Falafel - 0/5I enjoy greek food but I did not enjoy this restaurant - its expensive so avoid if you are a vegetarian

Casual chic dining space in the financial district. Food and service are consistently good. The menu offerings have more of a Greek tilt now, vs 3-4 years ago, but still good. I had the lamb pie this time- chunky pieces of stewed lamb encased in filo pastry and a layer of thinly sliced potatoes - not my favorite but it was pretty good. The Pinot noir was outstanding though- mellow, smooth, dry.

Overall good experience at trade. It was empty when we went at 5:30 on a Saturday. Service was very quick and good came fast. The shrimp was massive! Dips were good especially with the bread and chicken. Calamari was also good and sauce was good. In my opinion there are better Med style restaurants in boston but this was a solid meal.

For Dine Out Boston, I had the pleasure of trying out Trade, a greek restaurant serving complex flavors in all of their courses as well as their drinks! The feta in the salad had an amazing texture and the charred carrots had such a unique sweet and tart flavor, coming from fried parsnips, cashews, orange blossom honey, and dill labneh. I could NOT stop eating pita with this sauce after finishing the carrots!!! The pita and meze came with spicy whipped feta and charred eggplant but its pairing with the tzatziki was of course my favorite! The steak came with cripsy smashed potatoes, mushroom, "horta" sautéed greens, and more charred carrotThe sorbet had a light and refreshing flavor to end the meal Overall, I had a wonderful time here at Trade and definitely recommend visiting here for a special occassion including a great wine selection and authentic greek flavors‼

I came here with a colleague on a work trip without a reservation and they were so accommodating about squeezing us in despite a busy night.The food was incredible! I most loved the baked feta in phyllo, but the falafel burger pilaf and village salad (their take on a classic Greek salad) were also delicious. My only complaint would be the very dark lighting that wasn't ideal for a work dinner or Yelp photos (but maybe I'm just getting old).

Rarely do I just hand out a perfect 5/5 however Trade, one of the Boston's finest Greek joint is definitely an exception to this. I was celebrating my friends anniversary. Great cozy, inviting, warm upscale ambience. The restaurant had olive trees which gave a touch of nature right in the heart of the bustling city. Drinks were strong and good. We ordered everything that was vegetarian on the menu. I was actually surprised to see so many vegetarian options. Some of my favorites were Pomegranate Glazed Eggplant, Falafel Bulgar Pilafc, Spanakopita Flatbread, and fried cauliflower. The food was so tasty; it was extremely well seasoned and cooked perfectly. All the sauces were delicious. The presentation was outstanding. The staff is extremely friendly. They do charge 3% fee to the overall bill excluding the gratuity/tax which is a bit off putting . The service is a bit slow and even though the drinks took a long time to come; considering everything was so amazing we overlooked the long wait. I will definitely be returning on my next trip to Boston!

There are so many positives about Trade. I'll start with the ambience which is classy, dimly lit with indoor plants added a charm to it. The servers were really friendly and knowledgeable. They explained the menu really well and gave excellent recommendations. We ordered Aphrodite's tears cocktail which is Mathilda liquor based drink and was utterly refreshing. My wife ordered a flight of Greek brandy's and liquor and she loved Mathilda liquor the most. In terms of food, baked feta was delicious and glazed eggplant was good as well. We also ordered pita mze as well and no complaints. Overall a nice date place, highly recommended and would visit again.

Always a busy happening spot; mainly people eating after work and having a good time. The oven is a beautiful centerpiece of the restaurant.Don't let that out you off though if you don't like people in suits. The food here is delicious. Most plates are served tapas style meaning you get to try a bunch of things. The grilled shrimp are delicious, as are the flatbreads. You really can't go wrong. If you've ever wanted to order Bronzino, but been afraid of choking to death on a bone or just feel too intimidated to do it yourself staff will actually do it for you if you ask!They also have some unique wine selections, mainly from Greece, but also a really great one from Lebanon!
