Uniformly solid bar program and food. The chicken meatballs with tomatoes , pine nuts , and garlic cream are fantastic. Sarah's bread , varying daily, is a carb fiend's dream, too.
The perfect complement to its craft cocktail selection , Trade delivers a Mediterranean-inspired Lamb Sausage Flatbread with eggplant , manchego , peppers and garlic yogurt . Read more
Solid cocktails -- if you like amari, the Industry Favorite (?) is fernet-based and delicious. Food is less impressive (pork belly was overcooked, chicken meatballs tasty but unspectacular for $14).
I dig the vibe in here. They have a solid seafood menu , and the beer list and cocktails are well above average (especially for the area).
The Calamari Bomba dish here is quite unique and worth trying — squid ink rice with chorizo and garnished with jalapeño-like pickled fresno
Wow! Try the mushroom , fig , and Gorgonzola pizza . Roasted trout with pineapple chutney and plantains was dynamite. The drinks are killer too! I think I found my new favorite restaurant . Love this spot
This recent followup to Jody Adams ' Rialto quickly became a favorite for its flatbreads and other oven-blasted main plates with Mediterranean accents. [Eater 38 Member]
We went for the buzz and ambiance - great people watching , cool decor, fab cocktails . That the food was amazing was the cherry on top. Make reservations & leave the kids at home
Captures the fun of the pre-Great Recession boom, but the food's competing with the room's buzz. Our critic says try the pomegranate-glazed eggplant , fried oysters on a waffle or the braised short rib Read more
Service was great, beer was perfect and the chicken meatballs were delicious! Bacon and onions flatbread was also really good.
The drinks here are a little overpriced for what you get, but the food is worth every penny. Order a bunch of the sides along with your meal to share with your table!
Great place to go with a bunch of friends and share some delicious dishes. Portions are small but quality is high, my Burger was perfectly done. Lots of fun.
Beet salad for those looking for something light. Cheat day? Go rigatoni . Sit outside when weather allows it ☀️
Great drinks! Get a few small dishes to share. On a fancier side, financial crowd and out of town people
Try to sit at the bar when Tenzin is working and let him make an off-menu drink for you. One of the best mixologists around!
Boston Common (December 2011) recommends trying the flatbreads with spicy saffron mussels or the pomegranate-glazed eggplant at this new resturant in the Atlantic Wharf Building, Read more
Cute super trendy with fresh healthy unique entree options
One of Boston's best mixology programs. Their cocktails are phenomenal and they introduce new ones all of the time.
Great drinks. Flatbreads are delicious and the best value. Good work lunch spot
Good food, ok service and very small main portions. Hangout for techies, movers and shakers and wannabes galore.
Jody Adams changed the game on Boston’s waterfront with the casual , globally influenced Trade, which gives downtowners an affordable range of dishes served all day. Read more
Love the creative cocktails but the food was subpar ????????
Harissa chicken bowl, octopus appetizer
Rigatoni with spicy lamb - best thing I've had in a while. P.S. all dish's ingredients are local, grass fed , etc.
Mushroom & Figs flatbread was so good, we ordered the Four Cheese version as chaser.
Lamb ribs are fantastic.
Get a whole bunch of the small items & share them at your table. They are too good to miss out on.
Rigatoni with ragu ! Duck ! Half grilled chicken !! Pork lettuve wrap and fried oysters are ok..
Lobster was great. Easy to eat and not too much. Great place to take out-of-towners to.
food was small, kinda average. the flat breads are the best. they may claim to be a cocktail bar , but the bartenders aren't seasoned. was looking for an alternative to eastern standard, this isn't it.
Poutine recently added to the Bar menu!
Ask for Patrick and trust his expert selection of flatbreads and amazeballz sides
Best new joint in a long time! Excellent grilled squid but extremely busy!!
Great, but plates are small-definitely get apps
Try the seared salmon with sweet potato fritters .
Lamb sausage flat bread was tasty. Ordered a few small items to share.
Braised beef and barley soup is outstanding -- def don't need a plate after!
Great cocktails , service is on it, food is pretty good.
Cucumber lemonade is delightful in the summer months .
Atmosphere, food, wine
Can be loud but great space.
Great food plus bathrooms have the Dyson Airblade, perfect combo.
Huh? I really am not the snooty type, but food had hair in it, burgers were overcooked, and it was blasé. Decor is great. Two in our group had the skirt steak and that WAS good. Not returning.
Really good food and a nice atmosphere...
#Hangover is exactly that.
The flat bread . Outstanding.
4 cheese flatbread not to be missed. Yum!
The flatbread pizzas are to die for.
Great beer selection and friendly staff .
Incredible skirt steak .
Very good food !Staff is very pleasant, it get's busy but it has a very nice atmosphere - Boyan Kirov
HUGE beer selection! Love the burgers and tacos. Be sure to check out the patio in the summer. - Sofia Papastamelos
