  Energetic atmosphere with a very vibrant crowd. The food and cocktails ended up being the stars of the show. The small plates are fabulous. This is a great place to start your Friday or Saturday evening!

  Kettner exchange is what every other hip/fancy restaurants should be. A great restaurant with great food, and great ambiance. Their service is second to none, and I was extremely impressed with their attention to the customer. They were there when we needed a drink, but didn’t overwhelm us with the “Can I get you anything else”. Their food is amazing as well! It’s not just those fancy small plate dinners that cost $$$$ but lack flavor and size. We had their Spanish Grilled Octopus and their spicy shrimp, and it was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Not to mention the perfect meal size as well. Their drinks were amazing as well, but could do with the bit more alcohol 😉🥃🍷🍹🍸 Last but not least, is there valet. For $8 you get to valet your car and leave it there till 3am! So if you end up going somewhere else, you can just leave it and come back. That’s a steal! When you think of how much parking is around downtown/little Italy. We will definitely be coming back for more soon.

  We were there for apps and each one was great! Great atmosphere. Would have liked to tried their full menu but one must reserve and we didn't know. Great place!

  Food was fine. Drinks seemed a bit pricey. Great views of Little Italy from our table. Trendy clientele. Interesting rest rooms. Easter bunny visited and left treats. Overall, a very cool place.

  Have a food experience not just dinner. I’ll give you some hints. Get a reservation and show up 30 minutes early so that you can watch the artists in the kitchen (from outside of the restaurant) send out beautiful plates. Small and large plates from an ever changing menu. My wife and I started with cocktails, REAL creative cocktails that are not watered down. Our server snuck up pork belly buns from the bar - Delicious. We chose 4 small plates, Tuna tacos (not a do over), Sausage with daikon (Yummy) sorry no picture - it was gone quick. Quail w fried rice (Cute and yummy), Chicken and biscuit (all day/every day). Ended with Chocolate cake and banana ice cream (just the right level of sweetness). Great service, ambiance and food, a rarity these days
