Manhattan Exchange

Service was great, she was by herself and still very attentive!! We stopped for apps, French fries -perfectly crispy! The scallops and steak tips were amazing! Definitely recommend!

Went to dinner with my daughter and brother, it was pretty quiet, the food was amazing! I had the blackened shrimp taco "appitizer", which was 3 full tacos, so I didn't have anything else, and an espresso martini, my daughter had the full chicken quesadilla, which was huge, and she only ate about 1/3 of it, and had a harvesy mule, amd my brother had the Wisconson Butter Burger, cooked to perfection, and a big ole beer. The waitress was kind, checked in just the right amount of times. Always a lovely time!

My husband and I ordered takeout this week and realized it was Wednesday which is their $10 burger night. Truly think both of our burgers were the best we’ve ever had, ever!! I got the patty melt which i can’t say enough good things about and my husband got the Wisconsin burger which was bigger than his head! We can’t wait to go back and sit at the bar and try new menu items. So good!!!

This place is absolutely one of, if not the best restaurant around Schenectady. Every time I’ve gone (and it’s been a good few) the food is unique and flavorful, the service is fantastic and the atmosphere itself is both lively and comfortable. Definitely one of those places you stop thinking about how you should’ve probably stayed home and cooked a meal instead, no regrets. If I could give it 6 stars I would, even ordering for delivery the food is still hot and met with the same standard you would expect from in person dining. Definitely give it a try if you’re new to the area.

The night after visiting this restaurant, I had a dream that I was doing the backstroke through a swimming pool filled with their Chicken Dip. Every cheese filled bite can only be compared to that of your first child being born, combined with hitting the lottery at the same time your favorite NFL team wins the Superbowl.

This is some of the best food you'll find in Upstate NY. The Chef Chris welcomed us in like we were his family, literally, as he introduced us to his family and gave us a tour of the kitchen. It was refreshing to visit a homegrown establishment with such a genuine family run business. Being up here for work for 3 weeks, it's the only place we've been back to more than once, and probably going to sneak in one more trip before we fly out

If you don't visit the Manhattan Exchange before you leave Upstate NY, you can't say that you really visited NY at all.

Farewell, from Texas

All it takes is one visit to Manhattan Exchange to move it straight to the top of your must visit spots. This place is phenomenal, best of the best, hands down amazing! I've yet to meet someone who has had a bad experience here. They have a large menu and delicious drink specials. Order the pitchers and have a great night. Their shrimp tacos are spicy and full of flavor, lobster rolls are very fresh, really great french fries, tasty burgers. I could go on and on but you really need to just come here and try it for yourself. This is the first time I've wished I could go higher than five stars!

My husband and I had a calamari, Spicy shrimp BLT and half size of Chicken Quesadilla. Look at the picture of my quesadilla. I had to double check with a server if this is really their half size, and he said the regular is 2 of these! All we had are very tasty and generous portion. Inside the restaurant was a bit noisy, but other than that we were pretty happy with food and service.
We'll definitely go back.

I had a great time tonight. I was the Dj for Niskayuna's HS 20th Reunion. Great crowd, food & staff did a great job as well 😀 Sean Reid Dj 250

This was our first visit and it was during restaurant week. We were seated immediately with our reservation. The restaurant was very busy. We got a beverage right away. The food was delicious. The waitstaff are friendly and check in with you to be sure everything is okay

When you come here make sure, I repeat make sure!! You eat the chips and dip for appetizer you will not regret it . The owner, bartender and especially the cook Chris, fantastic people. We were traveling from Texas and treated like family. Best experience while visiting New York.

This is a hidden GEM, everything about this place makes me want to go back for sure from the food to the cook/waitress even the building, nice place very quite during the day I'm sure it gets busy. Sorry I didn't take photos I won't forget next time

I go here every so often to grab drinks and chat about marvel and starwars with the bartender. I started coming here about a year ago when i moved to the area. I was new and didnt know anyone so it was nice to have such friendly staff welcome me! Well I liked it so much that I became a regular! Food is EXCEPTIONAL. Had the crabcakes and beef wellington today. Bar is super modern and newly renovated!

Delicious, I hadn't been in years. They did a beautiful job with it. And the drinks and food. Amazing! I can't wait to come back and try other things.

Lobster roll was amazing. Huge portion of real lobster meat. Absolutely delicious. Picture just doesn't do it justice. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Great crew and amazing food. Gotta get the Cajun Chicken Sandwich and try their Espresso Martini

Excellent and I mean excellent food. Prime rib, salmon with spicy sauce, chicken piccata all top notch. Mixed veggies were perfectly done. Mashed potatoes so good. Lovely space and the bartender was a pro! This is a must visit Schenectady foodie destination. Check out his new place in Clifton Park!

We had the best catering experience with Manhattan Exchange! We’ve been to the restaurant many times and loved their food, so we reached out with an inquiry with what we were looking to do and about how many people, and they were able to accommodate us with the perfect menu. Everyone at the party absolutely raved about the food and couldn’t get enough! We would recommend Manhattan to anyone looking to cater an event!

Delicious food. Fast and friendly service. The Lychee Gimlet was fantastic

Highly recommend! Great atmosphere, can get a little crowded because it’s on the smaller side but still worth it. Campus fries and calamari are amazing. Had a party of around 18 people and the food/service was still great

Grilled Chicken Sandwich was Freaking Fantastic! Everyone needs to come here and order one asap!!!!
