Went to the Exchange with work colleagues in June on a personal recommendation. As we were a party of 8 we were able to book a table. Service was excellent and greeted by friendly staff who showed us to our table. The choices on the menu are plentiful and mouth watering making the choice very hard. I had the jerk... More

I visit Derry on a regular basis (4-6 times a year) and have heard about this restaurant many times. Unfortunately there is usually a queue and because you can't reserve a table, I usually just go somewhere else..in fact the only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is for this very reason.....I simply refuse to queue...

We were a group of nine staying in Derry/Londonderry for the NW200 races at Portrush. Our meal was excellent and brilliant value for money. The waitress took a complicated order of a variety of nine starters and main courses and several different drinks - all arrived without a hitch. I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant. NB We were... More

Myself and my wife went to the exchange in Derry for dinner on an evening out. We booked ahead and in arrival where asked to wait at the bar, not sure if this is or was a tactic in order to have us spend more money on drinks at the bar prior to our seating??? The food was delicious all... More

Called in lateish for food and a few glasses of wine.The bar service was great and the food was lovely .Most of us at the steaks which were brilliant with lots of trimmings and excellently cooked .Would definitely return in a more relaxed pace as this was a really busy night of the world famous Jazz Festival
