    I love El Serrano but this was my first time at Culturas. It was AWESOME. The atmosphere is so nice--very intimate, great for a date night. The decor is incredible. It's a really unique experience. The service was great, and so was the food! We were impressed with how quickly our food came, given how crowded the restaurant was by the time we ordered.

    Heh.....those are 2 bats that found sanctuary inside the restaurant. Stairwell that leads to the restrooms at the back of the restaurant.

When you see the sign for the restaurant outside, you go into the alcove and open the big iron gate and go down the steps. It's really cool down there & it has a nice dark speakeasy vibe. There were groupings of couches and tables. We ended up actually sitting at the bar. They actually had comfortable barstools. I would probably recommend a reservation. We had made a reservation for 5 PM and then decided to sit at the bar instead of a table because they told us that all the couches were reserved... But we were there for well over an hour and there were plenty of couches still available when we left, so I'm not sure what the deal was there. The cocktails are pretty pricey going as high as about $19. I had seen online that they had a flight of sparkling wines and before I arrived I was considering that until I realized it was $40. But the cocktails are very well mixed. The food menu I'm sure would not appeal to everyone. It's kind of eclectic and they have some small plates and a few entrées, but it's pretty limited. I would recommend the charcuterie board because you can just pick and choose from the charcuterie menu as to how you want your board created. We were all pleased with the charcuterie board. We would most likely return there for cocktails, but I don't think we would do it as a dinner spot, we ended up going elsewhere to eat our dinner. But I definitely do recommend checking this place out!

    Had dinner here on a Thursday night with my lovely date. It was my first visit, while it had been…read moreseveral years since my date had last been back. We were seated immediately and warmly welcomed by the friendly staff. At one point another server even recognized us from a previous date at The Exchange -- are we becoming regulars already? Lol. Wilson was our server and was wonderfully patient as we took our time deciding what to order while getting to know each other better. It happened to be jazz night, which added a relaxed, intimate vibe in the background and made for a really enjoyable Thursday evening. We started with the whipped feta dip, which was creamy, tangy, and just slightly sweet -- the kind of appetizer that's hard to stop dipping into once you start. For dinner I chose the Duck and Saucisson Bolognese. The sauce was rich and deeply savory, with tender duck folded into a hearty, slow-simmered ragù that clung beautifully to the pasta. My date ordered the Roasted Butternut Squash and Tuscan Kale Spaghetti, which struck a great balance of sweet and earthy flavors -- the squash adding a natural sweetness while the kale brought a slightly rustic bite that kept the dish from feeling too heavy. Both our plates will be revisited at home for a couple of days as the serving sizes were large! We both absolutely loved our meals and left talking about how good everything was. Between the atmosphere, the service, and the quality of the food, Plough made for a memorable Thursday night out. I want to especially highlight Wilson as he was super attentive and helpful in every way that you would expect from a fine server.

When we were seated, we were given the prix fixe food menu but never provided with a drink menu. We were served water, but our waitress didn't ask if we'd like cocktails, wine, or any featured Valentine's drinks. For a special occasion dinner, that felt like a major oversight. The bigger issue, though, was the food. Several courses were noticeably undercooked and difficult to enjoy. The carrot salad had hard, undercooked carrots and a very bitter sauce that overwhelmed the dish. The grilled Badger Flame beets were also undercooked and had an unpleasant flavor. The beet risotto was firm and lacked the creamy consistency you expect from a properly prepared risotto. The halibut tasted overly fishy and seemed undercooked in the center. For $75 per person on Valentine's Day, we expected a polished, thoughtfully executed experience. Instead, the meal felt poorly prepared and not worth the price. It was an unsatisfying way to spend what should have been a special evening. The ambiance was very nice but the rest of the experience left a lot to be desired.

I've been to a few oil tasting rooms and this one is my absolute favorite to date! Hubs and I had such a ball tasting all of the different oils from balsamic...dark, white, fruit flavored. Olive oils...infused, and our favorite, truffle oil! Each oil is labeled with pairing suggestions, what is compliments, and even recipes! Some of the oils were much more unique than I've seen before! A huge variety! There's a ton of nifty salts and rubs, pastas, even olive oil bath goods and delicious smelling soaps I had to pick up also! They had the cutest seasonal display for grilling accompaniments in summer. I can safely assume that table in the back changes themes with the time of year so look forward to somethings back there to get you in the mood of the season! Prices were very comparable to what I'm used to paying in a specialty store. The staff was so incredibly helpful and they even gift wrap!! Such a great place to create or pick up a pre-made gift basket for that certain someone who enjoys cooking. I have been known to throw together an oil olive, fun pasta, a salt, some fresh bread, a nice bottle of wine, a cook book and/or apron for a cozy, winter holiday gift. This place would be a perfect spot to do so! My mom loved her seasonal summer fruit oils set I picked up here which can be used for shrimp and fish marinades, salad dressings or even in pound cakes instead of regular canola oil! How genius?! Top with some whipped cream and fresh fruit! The fab staff told me about that one! I personally loved my Vermont maple balsamic and olive oil soaps. My girls loved the zebra pasta! A great, super fun stop!

I say surprising because my first reaction was disappointment at the small size of the menu. Once we decided to roll with it and take a recommended path of sharing several small plates, it turned into one of those meals that reminds you why you go out to eat in the first place. We ordered several elevated small plates, but the standout was the crispy rice with spicy tuna. It was flawless. The rice base was perfectly golden and crunchy on the outside with just enough tenderness inside. On top, the spicy tuna was fresh, buttery, and beautifully balanced -- not overly mayo-heavy, not overly spicy -- just clean, bright flavor. The drizzle underneath added a subtle creaminess that tied everything together without overpowering the texture. Every bite delivered contrast: warm and crisp against cool and silky, with little pops of sesame and microgreens adding dimension. It felt thoughtful, refined, and executed with real attention to detail. Pair that with the rooftop atmosphere -- polished but relaxed -- and the whole experience felt elevated without being pretentious. If this dish is any indication, The Exchange understands how to take something familiar and make it memorable.
