The steak was cooked to perfection. However the pasta was completely over cooked, even though the waitress asked the chef not to do so. Hence, a lower rating overall.

I ordered my steak to be Medium, two of my friends asked for theirs to be well done. At best they were all served Medium/Rare. It would be great if they improve on that.

Far too few staff for the venue size. Waited half an hour (including reminders) before even a drinks order was taken. Then another 40 minutes for the food to arrive. This was a Friday lunchtime and the restaurant was quite full but not completely. Food was fine and staff friendly but never going back.

We have stayed at the treasury on collins over the past 5 years and have always wanted to try the Bank on Collins and finally have and it did not disappoint. Great value for money. Large serve. Bonus wine with our meal. Had to be the best Parma I have ever had. Thick and juicy. Would definately be booking again on our next stay. We'll done.
