Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Leather District

Trade was a wonderful experience last night. The menu was an excellent presentation of Greek and mediterranean options done in a traditional yet unique way. Not every restaurant is capable of creating traditional dishes with a different twist, but Trade can. We had the octopus, the spanakopita and greek salad to share as starters. The portions are not big, but the value is in the ingredients that made each dish fresh and mouthwatering. They are common dishes in Greece but Trade elevates them. I could not wait to try the vegetarian moussaka. The dish was one I woke forget. Chefs did a beautiful job using herbs, lentils, eggplants, potatoes and the yummy bechamel sauce to create the wonderful flavours. My husband ordered the meatballs and they were filled with excellent flavor. My daughter ordered the falafel bowl that was a great dish if you are looking for a cold meal and veggie heavy. Her boyfriend ordered the chicken that he devoured without a morsel left. How did we even have room for dessert?? We ordered loukoumades that was enough for the table. traditional little yummy greek donuts with small scoops of vanilla ice cream dispersed among them Last but not least-excellent service!!!! Bravo!! I enjoyed the ambiance at Trade-it felt like a very special evening. Thank you to Trade and staff

Great place for a celebration dinner ...good food and drinks

Food tastes super fresh and lots of options. Wait staff are very helpful at explaining all of the options as they can be a bit confusing. Great ambiance, have been here many times. Definitely recommend a reservation. Perfect spot to come after the parade as they come through!

I went solo and it was amazing. If you go with someone else or go in a group, use it as an opportunity to try every dish they have to offer because everything on the menu is packed with flavor and just well-executed. Drink whatever wine Jesse tells you to drink. I know I'm biased because I've been eating Chef Dooley's food for 10+ years going back to his time running the kitchen at Craigie on Main. He has never lost a step, and there's a reason all of his ventures have been so successful. You won't be disappointed and you'll keep coming back.

We went here for our 10 year anniversary after going here on the night we got engaged when they were still on Boylston. The food was even better than before!
