A word from B.A.N.K

This Modern American restaurant is retro glamorous and modernly comfortable as it retains existing millwork and character of the circa 1900's bank building. The lobby is vast and impressive, and is ideal for an active dining area for both formal meetings and casual eating. Modern American Cuisine… means more then just dining. B.A.N.K. is about savor, experience, sharing, relaxing & connecting - an experience that is entirely in the hands of the customer. Whether downloading with colleagues over hot stone grilling in our plush lounge, or creating your own cocktail at the communal table with new friends, B.A.N.K. is the perfect spot to re-connect and re-fresh; all while maintaining your personality.Continued

"The ambiance was impressive, but not intimate and you felt like you were in a lobby of a business (which you are). The food was done well and interesting, but was not spectacular. Even though there is a bar right there, they did not have dry sherry, which seemed a little strange."

"We went to this restaurant primarily to try their craft cocktails, which come highly recommended. Since we had a table, we ordered some appetizers as well. It was very slow, very quiet, but we defintely got the impression that ordering just the appetizers (although we each ordered a salad, then three apps to share) was not appreciated. The drinks were amazing, delicious and unique. The food, however, was nothing special and in one case served to us completely cold. Our waiter did attmept to save the day by offering to bring us out a new (warmed) portion of one of our dishes, and ended up removing it from our bill, which was appreciated. Overall, the drinks are amazing, try these for sure! ... But sit at the bar and eat the bread."

"Food was not spectacular, but definitely solid. The menu needs a little more pop. Saturday night and restaurant was maybe 30% full. A larger crowd would help the vibe. I want this restaurant to succeed but they need to get people in."

"We couldn't get a reservation for 6 oclock, so we took one for 5:45, no big deal. We got there at 5:45 and waited to be seated. The place was practically empty.Eventually we were led to a table by a waiter and there we sat for 10 mintutes until another waiter (not ours) prught us some water and took our drink order. It must have been a shift change or something, because the service was poor, our final waiter(three total) never introduced himself and rarely showed up.We ordered the daily fish special (halibut) and the scallops. Both were pretty flavorless. We skipped desert and left. We then waited 20 minutes for the Valet to find out car.The place was still empty when we left. Won't be back."

"The crab cake appetizer and risotto entree were wonderful - truly memorable. The paella was at best average. The service was attentive but not obtrusive. At the end of our late lunch it sounded like someone dragged a table across the tiled floor which screeched like a finger nail on a blackboard. I thought the wine was somewhat overpriced."
