Amazing food, drinks, and service!!
It was wonderful! A bit difficult at first to find, because the address takes you to the main Marriott entrance.
Loved it just wasnt notified that my reservation time was lessened by 45 mins
Safe, fast service plus great food, reasonable prices and an unbeatable view made the night a huge hit!
Beautiful atmosphere. As expected it was a little chilly but the heaters were on and it was wonderful to go to a place that we felt safe from the pandemic and in compliance with the governor's restrictions but still able to serve food and drink
I was attracted to this place by it’s online pictures. The ambiance did not disappoint. It is beautiful!! Unfortunately we went on one of the coldest days this winter and they weren’t equipped to keep their patio heaters continuously on. Our heater shut off several times and after calling staff over each time it shut off, it was more than obvious they were annoyed by us. Finally we decided to just take our food to go since the heaters wouldn’t stay on so we asked for some to go boxes. We were handed 2 boxes to jam everyone’s food into and no bags. I was truly looking forward to this place but was just so disappointed with the service.
Really cool place. I will go back again. Food was great.
Thanks so much for the feedback, Scott! We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review and we hope you'll join us again soon!
Although it was well below freezing... we had a great time at The Exchange and we were so happy they were still open for outdoor dining! The staff was welcoming and considerate of getting orders out as quickly as possible. The atmosphere was beautiful and they did their best to keep the outdoor area warm for guests! The food was incredible. We would love to come back anytime we’re in town!
Thanks so much for the kind review! Thanks for braving the freezing temps and spending your evening with us. We hope you'll join us again soon. Have a fantastic day!
We were thankful they are still able to offer outdoor dining on their beautiful rooftop (in the pandemic restrictions), though it was chilly and the table fire pit was malfunctioning. However, their food is delicious and the drinks are inventive and sophisticated. The food came out at different times, so some of us had to wait and watch the others eat. I think they were doing the best they could, trying to serve the food as hot as possible, given the cool temps. We love this venue (the views are amazing).
Wonderful place. The team did a great job of shifting things since it was the first day of no inside dining’. The outdoor space is beautiful, warm, and inviting with
spectacular views of the city. Drinks and food were unique and delicious. We did a sampling of 3 plates and there was more than enough to share. The Brussels sprouts stole the show. Friendly and attentive service.
If you are in the area don’t miss this restaurant.
The perfect date spot.
Love this place! Can’t wait to return when it’s warm and things are normal.
The food was not spectacular however the view was amazing!
Great view and delicious food! Wood oven pizza is a must! Great cocktails as well!
From the moment we walked in the door we were treated to a relaxing attentive dining experience. Outside was breezy but worth the view. Drinks large and well mixed. Limited menu done well. Appetizer salad could have been a meal in itself. Fantastic burger, shoestring fries and a scrumptious dessert. Next time I’ll try the brick oven pizza. Service,food,and view all excellent.
The three pizza my table ordered were over priced, burned, and raw on the inside. I bit into a charred slice to be greeted by raw dough. We mentioned it to the waitress only to not have anything amended. I will never be returning here. There are much better restaurants in town for much cheaper prices. Don’t waste your money.
The bar was beautiful and the view was breath taking. The drinks were very good and the hostess was very nice. However our sever messed up our drink order, didn’t check on us a lot and she messed up our bill. Her mood seemed off like she was annoyed or upset with us.
Great location, excellent Food and service.
Food was not very good.
I had the carbonara and it was pretty much tasteless.
Great cocktails and the staff was wonderful!
A guy was harassing my friends and I- the bartenders picked right up on it and totally had our back- this alone is a reason that will keep us coming back!
Well spaced tables, lovely waitperson and good food. My short rib pie was short on short rib and long on crust, but overall, we were pleased. Even in lousy weather, great views
We sat indoors because it was too windy outside and the heaters did not stay lit. We had a wonderful lunch inside. The seating was cozy and comfortable. The food and service was great! Thank you!
Everything was incredibly awesome except one of the fir pits wasn’t working and it just happened to be the one I was sitting on. Still highly recommend.
Made a reservation for a table for 4 and got a couch, coffee table and 2 backless low stools. And no heater near by. Left and went to C’est la vi for a terrific meal!!
We just wanted to get out in the pandemic. It felt very safe.
This was a birthday celebration for a dear friend. We sat by a window to overlook the beautifully lit church steeple. The service staff was incredibly thoughtful and attentive. Drinks, appetizers and dinner all perfect. Thank you for being open, love the decor!!!
Awesome view of the city from inside and outside dining areas. Great food, drinks and service. Certainly not your typical hotel dining. Been several times and they keep the menu fresh.
Our server was amazing, the food was delicious, and the ambiance was great.
Food and drinks were excellent.Nice Ambience. I just wish they have more options on the menu for food and drinks. Also lighting is dark for some tables
We really enjoyed our visit. Everyone was very accommodating. When we arrived there was no table outside but one became available later and they moved us out to the outside which was great I would come back.
Favorite restaurant! Amazing view.
It was a great evening despite the loud celebration in the streets and the horns beeping. We could hardly hear ourselves talk.
Birthday fun.
Ryan is the BEST Bartender , we’ve had him for years. Always pleasant, courteous and tremendous service !!
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! We will pass along your kind words to Ryan and the staff. We hope you'll join us again at The Exchange!
Lovely roof top bar with a great view. A little pricey but felt like I was a a NYC bat.
We enjoyed our dining (and sunset!) experience at The Exchange. We were fortunate to be seated outside on a warm November eve, but after viewing the indoor accommodations for the first time, decided we would be quite comfortable indoors in the future.
The service and staff were friendly and efficient starting with the host at the front door and continuing throughout our time there.
The availability of 90 minutes was plenty, considering the food service was prompt, although we could have stayed all night based on the comfort, environment and level of service.
Thank you so much for the kind review! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your evening with us and hope you'll join us again sometime soon!
Service was slow but we didn’t mind. Ambience and food were great!
With COVID cautions in place, seating with appropriate distancing was available. The menu provided platters for shared tasting and/or individual entree selections. The food arrived at our table freshly prepared, attractively plated, and delicious. The service was excellent.
Thanks so much for the 5 star review! We look forward to your next visit with us. Have a great day!
Even in the rain, great views. Well spaced inside dining. Great service
Thank you for the champagne!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! Have a wonderful day!
Great ambiance., great views! Our go-to for when we are entertaining out of town guests.
