We had a black tie event at the Exchange and had a great experience. The food, the service, and the ambience were fantastic. Looking forward to visiting and trying the full menu on a regular night.

We recently hosted our daughter's Quinceañera at The Exchange downtown Chicago, and we are absolutely thrilled with our experience. From start to finish, the venue provided an unparalleled level of elegance and meticulous attention to detail that truly stunned us.
The historic and architecturally spectacular setting of The Exchange, located in Daniel Burnham's Railway Exchange building on Michigan Avenue, provided the perfect backdrop for such a significant celebration. The event spaces were beautifully utilized, and every aspect of the decor and ambiance was flawless.
We cannot praise the staff enough. The team of event professionals at The Exchange demonstrated exceptional service and a genuine passion for making our daughter's special day unforgettable. Their expertise and dedication were evident in every detail, ensuring everything ran smoothly and beautifully. They truly went above and beyond to bring our vision to life.
The culinary offerings were also outstanding, and our guests were thoroughly impressed.
If you are looking for an event venue in downtown Chicago that combines breathtaking beauty with an experienced and dedicated team, look no further than The Exchange. They delivered an absolutely magical Quinceañera for our daughter, and we are incredibly grateful for their hard work and professionalism.

Stopped by for lunch on my way to the airport and the guy who greatest me at the bar was great. He suggested I sit in the courtyard and glad I did, it's absolutely stunning. I wasn't in a hurry, so I enjoyed the servers not being overbearing and pushy for me to leave.
The vegan curry I had was pretty good. I enjoy more spices and a bit more flavor. The rice was cooked perfectly and overall the meal was very high quality.

Just off Michigan Ave and extending into the airy lobby of the RR Exchange building, The Exchange offers a relaxed but elegant space for drinks, dinner, snacks, and dessert. It is a short walk to Symphony Center or the Auditorium theater, and the service was nicely prompt, which afforded us time to get to the theater without worry.

When I first enter the host was a bit bland. He escorted me to the main dining hall to tell me we couldn’t sit there because it was “reserved.” Honestly, didn’t care and don’t understand why that was necessary. Hamburger and fries were just ok. Asked for no pickle and it had pickle . Good thing I wasn’t allergic but I was too hungry to return it. The ambiance is very nice though. Music choice is good.
Delicious!
