- KKyleToronto / Ontario •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoTrade exceeded all expectations! The food was incredible—flavorful, beautifully presented, and perfect for sharing. The Burrata and the Baked Feta were unforgettable. Our server, Miguel C, made the evening truly special with his attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable service. He knew the menu inside and out, made great suggestions, and every plate was divine. The music and ambiance in the restaurant were perfect, adding to an overall exceptional experience. Highly recommend Trade for its delicious food, warm atmosphere, and outstanding service. We’ll definitely be back!More infoTradePrice: Expensive• Greek• Seaport•4.7
- MMichaelVIPGreater Boston •31 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThe food and service here was outstanding. Totally what you’d expect from a restaurant by a Michelin-starred chef. The Japanese wagyu was a standout, as was the octopus and desserts. Plus it was fun to visit while the Mr. Pink art sculpture was on the window. Kenzie (server) is one of the most pleasant and helpful I’ve ever had at a restaurant. A+ all around.More infoThe Vermilion ClubPrice: Moderate• American• Downtown•4.6
