    The restaurant was featuring the Valentine menu. We were disappointed and would have preferred the regular menu. The food we ordered was good, but not what we wanted.

    An amazing experience indeed! Service was fantastic as the waitress provided the history of the restaurant and had suggestions for cocktails, appetizers and the main course. My husband had the 14 inch ribeye and I had the flight which included choice, prime, and wagyu cuts. Sides were crispy loaded baked potato and collard greens. It was the quickest open kitchen I have ever seen. We made sure to tell the manager on duty how much we enjoyed the experience. We will be going back for our Anniversary in May!

    My wife and I frequent the Exchange for our date nights. The food is always plated nicely and the flavor is consistent every time, service is great and what you would expect for a restaurant in this class, if you like bourbon; the Exchange makes the best “Old Fashioned” around and its super consistent as well.

    Ross was our server and treated us like VIPs. There was a large convention in town and usually that causes individual attention to go out the window but not here. It was my 10 year old grandson’s birthday and they made him feel like a grown up. It was a magical experience worth every penny. I think this is the first time since COVID that I felt like we were actually having a fine dining experience. The food was fabulous we got the 3 tiered seafood tower - yes it is expensive but as far as a return on investment it was over the top. The presentation is impressive and each item was perfectly prepared. Ross and the rest of the staff went out of their way on a very busy night and I think we are going to make it an annual event. Thank you Brendon’s and thank you Ross.
