    My husband and I had tickets to see Wide Mouth Mason and Big Sugar so we decided to do dinner at Exile beforehand. The restaurant was beautiful and had an amazing vibe. The artwork throughout was exquisite. My husband had the 8 oz steak with mushroom sauce, and he said it was the best steak he has ever had. I had the cod with a garden salad and it was delicious. The waiter was very astute and professional. Overall, we rate Exile restaurant and Jag Soundhouse a solid 10/10. We are already planning another date night in the future.

    Hostess was not friendly. Server was friendly. Food was not enjoyable. Not a great experience overall, which is too bad, because we had high hopes of enjoying our night out celebrating a birthday before attending the concert.

    Food was excellent, service was great. The only down side was when we went in for our reservation. We were told that we would have to make sure we were finished within two hours. Our comment to our seater was that that depended on the service and the timing of the restaurant and not us. We were slightly over two hours, but there was nobody rushing us out, there were many empty seats. It wasn’t a good way to start the dinner before we even got seated.

    For a $ 60.00 plus breakfast for 2 , we were surprise toast was extra if you want it, we were not even asked if we wanted any toast, it was only when my husband asked the second waiter picking up the dishes about it. Love the Jag but don’t think we will be going back to Exile.

    Love the atmosphere of Exile. Bright, clean and beautifully decorated. . We were there for breakfast and everyone enjoyed their meal. I particularly enjoyed the Turkish Benny. Our server was very pleasant, attentive and made some useful suggestions. Would definitely return for the service, food and atmosphere!
