An excellent place for drinks, listening to music, dinner and brunch. We recently went for brunch. It was an amazing experience. The service was exceptional from start to finish. The expansive menu is available as unlimited. That choice is highly recommended. Every item was perfectly prepared and was delicious. Compliment your breakfast with unlimited Mimosas or sparkling rose. Take your time and try everything. You will be happier for it.

The Exchange was such a fun experience! We went to celebrate our friends birthday and our waiter Javier did an amazing job taking care of us. He truly went above and beyond! Not only was he patient with our gluten free and dairy free questions and requests, but he was also very personable and helped us create a fun birthday experience for our friend. The food was delicious and their crème brûlée was scrumptious. I would highly recommend you check this place out.

This is a very nice restaurant/bar. It has three sections, each one is distinguished than others. We sat in Atrium, which is the main hall area. It has live piano music and relatively quiet ambiance. Very chill Sunday brunch. And it provides a lot of small dishes as a buffet for $50 per person. I think it definitely worth it. The dishes taste great. This is a historical building such the decoration is very classical.

The experience started off slightly awkward as the first available reservation online for brunch was 10am and upon arrival at 10 the lights were still off and doors locked. We were let in around 10:10 and remained the only ones in the restaurant until almost 11. Once food started to come out, I disregarded the awkwardness. That was the best French toast I’ve ever had!

The pictures of the ambience online look amazing, but the reality is it was just ok. The building is historic, but the interior has a very corporate feel. The service was average at best, and the food was solid but nothing notably above average. Good variety of menu items for everyone. If you’re at the park and looking for a place to quickly grab a bite – this is your spot. If you’re looking for a cozy date night or foodie destination – this is definitely not it.

Me and friends had the “bottomless” brunch for $39pp. Was it worth that, yes and no. They do provide enough food, but some of the dishes may or may not be of interest so just keep that in mind. The drinks were delish and the ambiance was of course fantastic.

Service was great and food was flavorful, but some issues made it less than stellar. The steak tartare came out looking a bit more of a muted pink than the vibrant red of fresh beef and had that slight oxidized beef smell. Slightly concerning but did taste fine so maybe it was (will know more in the next few hours). The creme brulee’s sugar top wasn’t properly fired so it didn’t crack and crunch per the norm and instead stuck together and was chewy. No issues with the entrees aside from they were more interesting on the previous visit. Oysters were great.

The interior of The Exchange is beautiful. Stunning really, yet I forgot to capture it with photos *face palm*. There’s a small room in the front that has the bar, the dining space is in the middle (photo) then there’s a large atrium with tables and couches where you can dine as well.

Such a cool place it needs more attention. The middle section of the restaurant is a beautiful former lobby with a magnificent marble staircase. This is the former railroad exchange so it has great architecture. The food is outstanding. Bar in front is my favorite place after work. Bar in back is usually empty but not sure why. Has a great casual but upscale vibe.
