Excellent food! Great service ! Highly recommend. The salads are amazing and the tomato bisque with eggplant croutons was delicious.

I have been to Manhattan Exchange a handful of times. Don't skip this place. They definitely have a solid burger. I got the Wisconsin Butter burger, it was huge and delicious. They have decent cocktails, one of my friends got a spicy musk which was delicious. The servers were very attentive, service was a little slow because it's Saint Patrick's Day weekend, but they checked in frequently. It's clean inside and has a nice patio for warmer days.

This was our first visit and it was during restaurant week. We were seated immediately with our reservation. The restaurant was very busy. We got a beverage right away. The food was delicious. The waitstaff are friendly and check in with you to be sure everything is okayParking: The parking lot is next to their building. There is also street parking

Great burgers and sandwiches. Service was excellent also and overall great value. They did a very nice job of remodeling the inside to create an open dining area

Restaurant was not ready for restaurant week. We had to wait over 20 minutes for our table (despite having a reservation) and were told sorry and that they'd had a lot of walk-ins (okay sorry then turn them away since you took reservations...) We then waited a very long time to be asked for our orders, for our drinks, and for every single course. It was over 2 hours from our rez time to the time at which we actually got food. We had not been informed of any updates and had to ask about the status/if the kitchen forgot about us. Additionally, we had to ask for water refills every time we needed more because no one was really checking on us, only coming by to serve food late and/or clear. Also there was not the best dish consistency. We had selected this restaurant for the restaurant week menu specifically, only to find out once we got there that they had changed multiple things. The orecchiette was actually pappardelle (close enough I guess, but I like orecchiette much better) and the filet was actually meatloaf (not close enough imo and we picked this place wanting the filet specifically). Additionally, we had three people get the shrimp dish and two of them looked and tasted great/the same, but the third (which came out like 5 minutes later for some weird reason) was in a big bowl of broth! It looked totally different and more like ramen than a pasta dish... If you don't have the staff and place ready for restaurant week, don't do it and if you don't have the capacity for more tables, stop accepting reservations and/or walk-ins. We were apologized to about the delay, but were never offered anything to make up for it so likely will not be returning (which is a shame because the food tasted good).

Very cute place! Server was friendly and fast and accommodating for my 6 year old. I had the patty melt and it was good but definitely a fork and knife deal. My fiancé had the chicken vodka hoagie and loved it. Chicken wings need to be crispier and I would have liked something to dip my sweet potato fries in.

Saturday January 27, 9 PMMy hot lobster roll was very good and the wait staff was excellent but my wife ordered one of the $17 burger and fries and she received an obvious example of a frozen hockey puck quarter pounder dressed up beautifully. Guys, even I love New York Pizza down the street makes a better patty for a third the price. If you feel you just can’t make a profit at $17 when you season and smash your own $2 worth of ground beef at least buy pre pressed but not FROZEN patties from a local grocery store. She couldn’t eat it and when told the server did nothing about it but apologize. Maybe they’re on the verge of bankruptcy? Less smelly restroom might have made it easier to drop eighty bucks on dinner for two but even that seems to be beyond the manhattan exchange. SadResponse: proud of a disgusting restroom with barely functional towel dispensers and tissue all over the floor. Also okay with an open inferior burger to the joint down the street with walls covered with menu pics. But hey, maybe addressing critiques with denial and deflection will make that burger taste as if it had salt on it right?

Went to dinner with my daughter and brother, it was pretty quiet, the food was amazing! I had the blackened shrimp taco "appitizer", which was 3 full tacos, so I didn't have anything else, and an espresso martini, my daughter had the full chicken quesadilla, which was huge, and she only ate about 1/3 of it, and had a harvesy mule, amd my brother had the Wisconson Butter Burger, cooked to perfection, and a big ole beer. The waitress was kind, checked in just the right amount of times. Always a lovely time!

This is one of the terrible place I ever been. People in the bar is rude, No receptionist to help the customer. Terrible people. I would never go this place for food or order delivery.
