Porto

"Porto — the Mediterranean seafood restaurant from the Trade team — features an oasis of a patio in Back Bay, up above street level and full of cozy lounge furniture and bar. A retractable awning provides sun protection when needed, and a television comes out for special events. (Plus, it’s heated in colder weather.)" - Eater Staff

"While you await chef Jody Adams to open her next restaurant within the Raffles Boston hotel later this year (joining Amar, which opened in September), head to her well-loved coastal Italian spot. Savor three-course dinners that include crispy brussels sprouts with currant-caper relish, baked cod with spiced quinoa and pistachio pesto, plus seasonal sorbet as a light dessert. Dinner will set you back $55 and is only available Tuesday through Friday." - Nathan Tavares, Erika Adams

"Order oysters, saucy pastas, and a table full of seafood all while staying warm and dry inside this Back Bay restaurant’s large outdoor patio." - Nathan Tavares, Erika Adams

"Start your meal at the Trade team's Back Bay establishment, Porto, with a raw seafood dish or two. There’s the scallop, for example, with currants, celtuce, caviar, tangerine agrumato, and cilantro, or the tuna tartare, served with a seaweed yogurt." - Eater Staff

"At this Back Bay Mediterranean restaurant with ties to Trade and Saloniki, the Porto plateau ($95) includes a dozen oysters, along with shrimp cocktail, lobster salad, and tuna tartare. Get it on the gorgeous patio." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
