The Exchange at The Setai Wall Street, New York

Executive chef Josh Capone’s strict standards for locally sourced ingredients and penchant for West Coast–inspired entrees has earned The Exchange at The Setai Wall Street high praise from journalists and foodies alike. Before diners sample the award-winning food, evenings at The Exchange at The Setai Wall Street begin in the "wine hallway," where candlelight flickers off the floor-to-ceiling glass display cases brimming with wines from America, France, Italy, Spain, and more. Pendant lamps and silk throw pillows lend a calming air to the dining room, where housemade pâté and terrines herald entrees such as local porgy with coconut tapioca and green curry sauce. Pastry chef Alise Ciucci oversees elaborate desserts, including a chocolate napoleon and an inventive squash cheesecake with maple candy. A glass wall separates the kitchen from the dining room, allowing guests to watch the kitchen staff as they prepare and plate each dish.
