   Our third visit, food was excellent, service by Magdelena was friendly and efficient, only negative was the noise level seated in the main restaurant downstairs... Very noisy as a full house, music not really my choice...

   The authentic cuisine was delicious, not too spicy nor over flavoured. The ingredients are fresh and well crafted & blended to create some great dishes. The ambience is bright & welcoming with understated chic making the surroundings great for relaxed, comfortable dining.

   Lovely decor and ambiance. White wine was not served chilled although the waiter did do his best to get an ice bucket. The mark up on the wine is also excessive so limits your choice. I’d rather pay a corkage than pay too much for a below average bottle.Food was generally good but nothing special.

   This was my first time at Bank and as we were there for breakfast it is probably not a fair reflection of the restaurant overall. The service was good, can’t fault that. But it was also very quiet (three tables the whole time we were there). The coffee I’m afraid to say was dreadful. The food was perfectly nice, and the portion sizes very generous. The forks are too small for a meal, sounds silly but it does matter! I wanted to love it here but I don’t think I’ll return for breakfast. Looking forward to trying it again for dinner one day soon!

   Disappointing experience at The Bank. Despite visit in person ahead of time to discuss arrangements for our disabled friend our table position was not as agreed and less than ideal. The restaurant was very busy (not in itself an issue), but was unbelievably noisy. The music volume was ridiculously loud which resulted in people shouting to be heard, making the whole experience unpleasant. The service was very slow - we waited nearly 90 minutes for our main course ! There was no apology for the tardy service but rather drinks were topped up resulting in even more cost. Value for money was poor and some of the dishes not at all good e.g. chicken byriani was copious amounts of rice with very little chicken. We will not go back anytime soon which is a shame since we had a much better experience there a few weeks ago.

    The lunch menu is a bit limited and small plates. Would like to see more evening menu options at lunch. Salmon was a bit dry.
