Friendly, attentive, and made sure we were good the whole time. Now the food? No complaints there. Everything tasted great and definitely felt like it came from a Michelin-rated chef/owner. BUT... the wait time? Whew. I'm pretty sure I went through all five stages of hunger before my plate showed up. At one point I was considering eating the table décor. For a spot with that kind of reputation, I expected the kitchen to move a little quicker. Amazing food, great service--but I lost two stars because I was about two minutes away from ordering an emergency appetizer from somewhere else Still worth checking out--just maybe bring a snack... just in case.

I cannot stop talking about my dinner at The Exchange. The food, atmosphere, décor, and overall…read morevibe were exceptional. It was our first time visiting from the Bay Area, and it was truly a memorable experience. We ordered the chicken wings and calamari, plus two drinks. Our bartender recommended the Freak Show Cabernet, and it was delicious. I appreciated how attentive the team was: when I accidentally knocked over my drink, the staff quickly and graciously helped clean up, along with a few flowers I bumped in the process. I apologize for the clumsiness on my part. The chef also came out to greet us, which was a wonderful personal touch. Overall, we had an incredible time. If you're looking for great food and warm hospitality, I highly recommend The Exchange. I'll definitely be telling everyone on social media to stop by for a wonderful experience.

We had Easter brunch at The Exchange 1874 in Woodbridge and came away with a very positive overall…read moreexperience. The restaurant is set in a historic brick building with a lot of character. We sat inside, where the space features exposed brick, artwork throughout, and very comfortable seating... my partner specifically pointed that out. The layout includes a mix of seating areas, which gives it a more relaxed, layered feel. The bar area, known as the Ghost Lounge, adds a darker, more lounge-like element to the overall atmosphere. Service was excellent. Our server, Lacy, was friendly, attentive, and witty - easily one of the best servers we've had in a while. For drinks, I had a local Oak Farm red wine that was excellent. Others in our group had mimosas, which were well received... especially the grapefruit mimosa, which my partner really enjoyed. For food, there were several highlights. My partner had the chicken and waffles and loved it; I tried some and would agree it was very good. Another person in our group ordered the steak breakfast tacos, which came as a set of three. They only ate two, and I had the third and it was delicious and something I would recommend. Another in our group had the eggs Benedict and thought it was excellent. I had the biscuits and gravy with fried eggs. It was okay, but not something I would go out of my way to order again. In terms of value, prices felt consistent with the quality of the food, service, and overall setting. It's not a budget brunch spot, but it feels appropriate for the experience. Overall, it was a really enjoyable Easter brunch with great service, a comfortable and well-designed interior, and several strong menu items. I'd rate it a 4 out of 5, though if half-points were an option, this would land closer to a 4.5. We'd definitely come back.

Came on a Saturday for lunch visiting a friend. I was enticed by all the colorful looking pictures…read moreand because I've never had German or German inspired food before. Now was a good as time as any! As we entered, there was a sign to meet at the bar for seating. The waitress/server came out after a bit of a wait and according to my friend, it's usually a longer wait time around lunch for someone to come out and seat you. I was recommended to try the pork schnitzel by my friend and it did not disappoint. I got my sandwich with a side salad. We also ordered the deviled eggs to share. My friend has never had the deviled eggs before and pleasantly surprised and delighted that the eggs were absolutely delicious. They're very smooth, eggs were cooked perfectly and the touch of bacon was just right. It does come with a small helping of mixed greens topped with pickled onions. The pork schnitzel was crispy & crunchy due to the breaded pork loin, came with pickled onions, slaw and the chipotle aioli sauce. The sauce does have a bit of a kick to it but it wasn't too spicy, well, at least for me. My salad was very good too. It was colorful and had an interestingly tangy dressing on it. It paired well with the sandwich. One was spicy and the salad was tangy but refreshing. My friend also ordered the pork schnitzel with beef tallow fries. I tried some of her fries and they were thin but still crispy. Overall the food at West Oak Nosh was so good and delicious! Service was good, prompt and our server was attentive despite being by herself. I think this place is great for the summer to have a drink and eat. Will have to come back for the drinks!

There is a parking lot at the back of the restaurant which is where this bar is located. It's a close-knit bar, but it does get a decent amount of people inside! The drinks are delicious. I highly recommend Jalapeño Business (mezcal or tequila, cucumber, jalapeño, agave, fresh squeezed lime). SO refreshing with a chamoy tajin rim. I also enjoyed The Nightcap (vodka, bailey's, cold brew, coffee liqueur). The bartender was very friendly and made the drinks quickly! You can also order food (since it's connected to a restaurant), and we ordered gyoza and shrimp tempura which came out piping hot and were both delicious. Definitely stop by if you're looking for a chill bar to get a drink, it is a small space so just be aware your conversations can easily be heard by others. Not a problem if you're friendly though!

Total for two was $40. What a deal. But you get what you pay for. Drinks weren't super strong and the flavors were not as authentic. The rice and beans with the enchilada could use some improvement. And the ice cream was much sweeter than the arroz. Overall, still enjoyable though for a night out, especially for the price.

They have an outdoor patio as well, but it was too cold to sit outside. There is a small four seat bar inside. I ordered the steak fajitas. I really think they forgot about our order because we sat there for about 40 minutes before we got our food. Even the server came to our table and realized our food wasn't out yet so she had to check on it. By the time I got the fajitas, the meat was overly cooked. The vegetables had shriveled up, and the meat had gone a bit dry. Thank goodness for salsa! We also had a shrimp taco, but it was sad that the tortilla crumbled when we picked it up. That Ahi tuna tostadas were drenched in soy sauce, so that too, fell apart. It was way too salty to eat. I will say that their spicy salsa is pretty good out of the three as well as their chip salsa. Our server was pleasant. She tried to do the best she can.

We had Room 2 and Tonya as our waitress! We all agreed that she was lovely and were impressed with her energy when she came to greet us and throughout our meal. She was instrumental in us having such a good time. She made recommendations and answered all our questions about your menu for food and cocktails! We had the brussel sprouts, pork belly biscuits, sausage skewers and octopus salad for shareables. Then our entrees were 2 orders of scallops, salmon, duck and short ribs plus smashed potatoes, mushrooms and spinach. To end the meal, we tried the double chocolate cake, hazelnut affogato and hazelnut ice cream. EVERYTHING was fantastic - I usually have one thing to complain about but not tonight! If I had to it would be that I was stuffed at the end and couldn't eat more. Room 2 was a good vibe for us and was very quaint. It gave us the space to visit and enjoy like we were at home in our own dining room. We were able to hear the live music playing and it didn't overpower the acoustics of our room. If you haven't tried it, it's a must and I hope you have a similar if not same experience as we did. My New Yorkers absolutely loved my choice for dinner!!!! I didn't take photos of all the food but I got a couple. I was too excited to dig in. Thank you for a great time!

With live music playing nearby, it added to the overall setting. We started with the chicken croquettes--crispy and a strong opener. Drinks were mixed: I didn't care for the strawberry whiskey sour, but the staff handled it well and replaced it with a classic version that was much better. My partner's mimosa, topped with a dried pear, was a nice touch. For mains, the shakshuka was excellent. My mushroom-based eggs Benedict with truffle sauce was just okay--interesting, but not something I'd go out of my way to order again. Dessert (chocolate cake and coffee) was the highlight and a great finish. Service was attentive and accommodating throughout. Overall, a slightly upscale brunch spot that mostly delivers, with a few standout items and a few that fall short.

There was a man standing across the street playing music and that was rather nice when I could hear him. Service was spotty. Had to wait awhile for food, water, after dinner drinks, and dessert. My husband enjoyed his dinner. My chicken Parmesan was okay. It did not taste like freshly breaded but more like pre frozen entree. I would not order it again. We were there for quite awhile. We saw friends go in after us and leave before us due to our slow service. I almost felt like they forgot about us outside. I love market tavern in Stockton and have always had great service and food there. Maybe this was just an off night. I will definitely come back and give them a chance to improve this so-so Yelp rating. I will definitely request to be seated inside!
