The Exchange offers a unique dining experience with a relaxing atmosphere, especially in the beautiful atrium. The service is attentive, and the food is highly flavorful, with brussel sprouts and lamb balls standing out as favorites. The steak is good, but it's important to remember that this is not a steakhouse. The venue is also known for hosting weddings, with the staff being very professional, responsive, and caring about making events special. The space itself is stunning, featuring a soaring glass ceiling that lets in soft natural light, perfect for photos. The marble decor and historic features, like ornate lighting fixtures, add charm to the modern and minimal aesthetic. Guests can enjoy delicious food such as Chicken vesuvio and mushroom rigatoni, along with excellent drinks like the signature strawberry gimlet. The location on Michigan Avenue, across from the Art Institute, makes it ideal for out-of-town visitors and offers great opportunities for garden photos. The venue is rich in Chicago history, originally built in 1904 as the Chicago Railway Exchange, designed by Daniel Burnham. The Exchange is known for its friendly, engaged staff who make every moment enjoyable, as well as its gorgeous interior and delectable menu options.
