Had a great time with a beautiful/pretty/cool/hot teacher The service and ornamentation stood out!! :)
The location of the restaurant and overall interior is wonderful. That was about it. The food was mediocre and the service was the same. The presentation of the food was what was expected from Chicago's downtown restaurants but it didn't taste as good as it looked
Exchange has a very unique ambiance with the Atrium and amazing architecture. Both the food and service was excellent and I highly recommend Exchange for both dinner or lunch.

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 brussels sprouts and lamb balls standing out as favorites. The venue is also known for hosting events, with the staff being very professional, responsive, and caring about making occasions 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 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 Exchange is known for its friendly, engaged staff who make every moment enjoyable, as well as its gorgeous interior and delectable menu options.
