2023-10-01 03:58:10Decided on this spot mainly because the cocktail menu was superior to everything else in the nearby area.For food, I opted for the lobster roll with fries. It was filling and prepared perfectly.For the drinks, well worth a visit if you’re looking for a spot with a knack for making high-quality cocktails with silly silicon valley themed names.The first cocktail I went for was the Hostile Takeover, which is a mezcal drink with lime and agave. It is #1. I recommend everyone who loves a bit of smoke/spice to give this a try.The second cocktail I had was the Holiday Pay, which was a tequila based drink with grapefruit and hibiscus. I think it was not my favorite, but I think after a filling meal, the hibiscus cocktail was the right choice.Will definitely come back next time I’m in the area

2023-06-16 15:52:44This upscale restaurant used to be an old bank (hence the name) it has vaulted ceiling’s, cute decor, good background music, and a fun outdoor patio area. The food and cocktails are always delicious! The staff are kind and attentive! I ordered the zero balance for libation and the brisket for my entree! It’s always so lovely to come here! Parking lot is underground and next door.

2023-09-14 17:04:24I have to be honest, I really liked the food and the service was outstanding. However, I take exception to restaurants that now think its clever to sneak a service charge on the bill, claiming its so they can pay a better wage.1. Sneak attacks on my wallet make me mad.2. Just put it in the menu price and be done with it.3. There is no guarantee the service staff actually gets this fee.My solution was to dispute their service fee and tip my server well (over 25%) which was my choice. He earned it, not the house.

2019-01-12 04:13:08Great ambiance, super clean and professional looking on the inside! Happy hour is from 3-6pm daily and the drinks are about $2 less than the normal prices. Oysters were a great deal and tasted amazing. Hamachi crudo was also a top choice. The seafood appetizer was a bit spicy if you can handle!

2022-06-19 17:29:55Decent food, good ambiance and service.We ordered medium rare salmon but it turned out to be quite well done. Otherwise, dishes were tasty and vegan options were available upon request.

2019-08-15 05:50:05Good service, nice food, but wine list could be improved. I’ve visited twice, both for business dinners, and we enjoyed both times. I love their cheese plate appetizers and recommend the salmon.

2021-03-09 10:27:35We stopped by here for drinks and snacks. Very beautiful restaurant with beautiful facade and patio dining. Good place for dates. The lemon citron cocktail was good. The Brussel sprouts in balsamic vinaigrette and raisins were great. We would want to visit again for full meal experience.

2022-01-12 04:55:59Its Real Here. I was at home going to have soup for dinner. Then my daughter suggested take out from the British Bankers Club. We called in to very courteous person who took our order. 20 minutes later we drove over to pick up the food. The place is very clean and the servers and manager are very nice. I had the BBC Burger which was delicious with the Vinegtrett sautéed onions and bacon. My daughter had Calamari which came with a salad. I will return to the British Bankers Club !

2021-12-12 02:10:41Always top-notch service with delicious food and quality cocktails.The Spanish Octopus appetizer is divine....very tender/flavorful with artichoke hearts, chorizo, and potatoes. Spicy, yet smooth, the Coconut Curry Lobster Bisque is excellent too. Dessert menu is decadent ! The downstairs bar seating offers two screens for viewing sports, with plenty of tables and a corner booth for a larger group. Another choice is outside seating. The upstairs rooftop patio is always fun, offers bar seating as well as tables. Heaters are also provided for these cooler Fall nights. The entire building has been restored, which gives a unique atmosphere. A must try is their Sunday Brunch!
