After swearing never to come back to this seaport area eatery I was pleasantly surprised on my last visit that it really had changed. Located above the famed Louis of Boston it has the feel of a very hip diner. Overlooking the harbor and downtown the views can be really spectacular. Service has really improved and the food is great. They worked to provide adjusted menu items for gluten and dairy intolerance. I had the the steak tartar which was excellent and the (steak frites) hanger steak which I would prefer with fries rather than the farro they came with. We also had the radicchio salad and seared scallops which were prepared without dairy/gluten yet both were delectable. Wine selection is good but be prepared to buy bottles as by the glass is limited. I enjoyed a japanese beer ‘Asahi’. Diners get 2 free hours parking which is brill and the bar area has a great TV. When the weather permits the outside deck is really pleasant. Overall well worth a visit.

Latest offering from Jody Adams of Rialto fame. Cool architecture similar to that of Albert Dock in Liverpool . Great view of Occupy Boston tented village.Allagash White beer very good. Tasted the Gotham Project Cabernet, a wonderful peppery wine on tap from the Finger Lakes in NY. Skirt steak and fries excellent for 21 bucks. Will return
Book your reservation using the Trade website or UrbanSpoon.
Others in the party tasted the mushroom soup and brussel sprouts, both were gluten and dairy free. Vegetarians be aware the mushroom soup uses a chicken stock. The staff at Trade were proactive in providing a menu with identifiers of GF for Gluten Free and DF for Dairy Free.

Hot spot on the Chicago river, great view and delicious menu of small plates on the 16th floor. Menu includes salads, ceviche, sliders and skewers. I recommend the chicken skewers if you stop by!
