My boyfriend and I went there just for dessert and drinks. The server was very nice. I had the lemon tiramisu which was excellent, very fresh and my boyfriend had the strawberries and cream and that was yummy too.

Fantastic atmosphere. The grouper was great! Service was great! There was a young lady (lots of tattoos) training who did a fabulous job, jumping in and recommending beers. Well done, also to the young man waiting on us.

We ate brunch at the Exchange and it was excellent. Food and service were great. Savannah took great care of us and even surprised us with a slice of cake for my wife's birthday. Definitely recommend the basket of pastries for the table.

We had an amazing meal. It's a perfect place to relax and have a bite to eat after a long drive. We loved the local drink options and the staff was really kind a d helpful.

The food, service, and ambiance is spectacular!!! The truffle fries and deviled eggs are in my opinion the best!

I so badly wanted this place to be good and it's a complete let down. The place is beautiful but it's a desperate need of a new management and chef. The food was mediocre at best.

I enjoyed the ambience of this restaurant, but the service was terrible and the food was mediocre. The dishes were not cleared from the table, drinks took 45 minutes to an hour to get, water glasses were not refilled and our server was often nowhere to be found. Had I not had the benefit of great company with me, instead of a 3 star, this would have been a 1 star. Even the manager recognized the poor service and checked on our table making up for the poor skills of our server. If you go to this restaurant, stick with the flatbreads, smash burgers, and salads for best value and flavor.

A reservations was made over a month ago for a small party (25 people) for New Years eve dinner. The service was extremely slow and the food was not great. Over an hour to ORDER the food - then the first table was served 30 minute's after that, but - the remaining guests received their meals sporadically over the next 90 MINUTES with some meals being completed forgot. I can't speak for many of the meals but the Short Ribs were nothing like the picture in YELP (which looked great) - more like mac & cheese with minimal beef and no vegetables to be seen. In fact, I was sure it was just the wrong order and complained but my waitress said it was in fact the Short Ribs and the turnips were in there?? The mushroom and caramelized onion flat bread was also pitiful with a couple mushrooms and even less onion.

Don't sit at the bar if you are typically a bar person. $30 old fashion was made in a metal tin??? Got 2 appetizers and took 20-30 minutes. Waiting for food wasn't an issue but going to close out the bartender didn't even have our drinks in the system or food in after he had already "ran our card to start a tab" (really didn't) and had to grab our card again. When leaving the one bartender says to the other "I think it's time for a shot" (unprofessional infront of guests to say the least) BUT AFTER TERRIBLE SERVICE WAS GIVEN?? Sit at a table is my one suggestion! Working in the service industry as well and knowing what to expect, this disappoints me!! It says I checked off on food service and ambiance but the only thing worth going for is the stupid lights and steak tartare!!

Delicious food and great service. Filet market price in dec 2023 was $62. Loved the goat cheese fritters, and the mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts too. Would love to come back in summer, they have garage doors that open to the patio seating. I bet it's awesome. They gave me a free sweet potatoes cheesecake for my birthday, it was awesome. Good wine selection, they even have Lambrusco!
