Stop by the Corn Exchange for some of Rapid Citys most sophisticated fare at reasonable prices. New York City transplant M.J. Adams and her husband took a chance that South Dakotans had a taste for more than just steak and burgers, and began to introduce folks in Rapid City to their creative cooking. A typical lunch menu may include a bowl of soup with mixed greens, roasted vegetable sandwich on foccacia with goat cheese and black olive paste, or grilled duck sausage with caramelized onions. The Corn Exchanges dinner offerings sound just as Martha Stewart-y: Tuscan tomato and white bean soup, Belgian endive, grilled quail, and other equally interesting entrees. The restaurants extensive wine list features a bottle or glass to complement any meal. Besides serving high-brow foods, the Corn Exchange has a great-looking interior. The floor- to ceiling front windows make for an airy and bright feel, as do the cheery yellow walls, copper bar, and light wood tables and booths. Theres a bit of rustic thrown in too, with hardwood floors, an exposed brick wall and pounded copper ceilings. Youll know the place by the hand-forged iron corn husk hanging above the front door. Make sure you have enough cash on hand though because the restaurant doesnt accept credit cards. --Laura Loftus
