The miso soup was great and started the meal off on a high. Sadly the sushi course was disappointing. The fish was mediocre at best (saba and medai), uni was bland, avocado in my roll was not ripe. Too much rice on the nigiri and overcooked. Tea was tasty and refilled regularly. They had gluten-free soy and were communicative about gluten in dishes. Service was great. Sadly it was overpriced for the quality of the food being served. Won’t be going back.

We stopped by for a bite to eat and were greeted by incredibly friendly staff in a beautifully decorated and inviting atmosphere. While there weren't specific gluten-free options on the menu, they graciously provided a suitable substitution upon request. The food was delicious!

Outstanding food, service, ambience. And the prices are extremely reasonable relative to other choices. The attentiveness of the staff rivals Michelin starred restaurants. The pasta was gluten free and fabulously delicious.

The Exchange was such a fun experience! We went to celebrate our friends birthday and our waiter Javier did an amazing job taking care of us. He truly went above and beyond! Not only was he patient with our gluten free and dairy free questions and requests, but he was also very personable and helped us create a fun birthday experience for our friend. The food was delicious and their crème brûlée was scrumptious. I would highly recommend you check this place out.

Living with major gluten issues, is difficult-especially when I go out to eat. I called ahead of time to ask about their GF options. I told them I was interested in a salad dish. They called the chef, got ingredients, and I called them back. They told me specifically the ingredients of the dressing and it was completely GF. When I arrived, they knew about my gluten issue and they were able to prepare my dish separately!!! I didn’t get sick. The strawberry salad and chicken was DELICIOUS. I’ll be going back! My boyfriend loved the shrimp tacos.

This was the WORST restaurant I have ever been to. Service horrible. Food horrible. Prices are extremely high for the very poor quality food. Our server was rude and treated us like garbage. He messed up every single persons meal, gave me another tables credit card after paying, then struggled to find mine after. He made disgusted faces when we ordered our food. We were a super easy group of girls looking for a easy, nice lunch spot and were beyond disappointed. Would never reccomend. Advertised gluten friendly options but made it almost impossible to order.
