Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

British Bankers Club offers a "wonderful dining experience" with delicious food and attentive service. The BBC Burger and cocktails are particularly praised as "some of the best," and the outdoor dining area is a highlight. While some find the decor austere, the "lively bar atmosphere" and reasonable pricing make it a go-to spot.

The food was absolutely wonderful. Our server seemed new so she seemed a bit nervous, and just one snafu with the sides, but she was very nice and attentive. This place is pricey, but honestly every course was wonderful, and the drinks were very good too, albeit a bit slow due to a large party at the restaurant. There was ample parking but was there on a Sunday evening, which may have been a factor. The restaurant filled up, but even so it wasn’t noisy and still able to easily chat with my dinner companions.

Outstanding meal, service and ambience! Was not crowded when I was there in a Friday evening. Wait staff was very attentive. I had the BBC Burger; honestly, one of the best burgers I’ve ever had- juicy, flavorful, cooked exactly medium-rare (as ordered) and a delicious side salad. The whole menu actually looks very tempting and the prices are very reasonable. They also have a variety of dining areas, including outdoors. Will definitely be back!

Bad service. Said table was ready but it wasn’t (despite being mostly empty). Then set the table for 5 instead of 6. Then didn’t have a server assigned to our table.

Many of us ordered the lobster roll. Mine was fine. However two others found the dish to be cold and had to send them back to be heated. The cauliflower steak was excellent and the braised ribs were good. The ambiance was a bit austere - very high ceilings, no rugs and a bit chilly. The service was good. Water glasses were continually filled and the waiter connected with us a number of times.
