Editorial Review for B.A.N.K. – by Molly Priesmeyer

In Short
Located in the former Farmers and Mechanics Building (an old bank, get it?), this elegant, wood-lined restaurant offers kitchen views, salmon as thick as filet mignon and indulgent desserts galore. The restaurant is majestic and breathtaking, but rounded booths offer plenty of cozy spots, too. The fare is new-American: The walleye, salmon and lobster dishes all come with the chefs' unique twist. In fact, every dish here has distinctive finishing touches, like salads served with lemon-emulsion dressing or scallops dressed up in almond-cauliflower puree.

Recently visisted the BANK for the first time, and was hugely disappointed. What a grand space with unique character of the surroundings to have such a sad dining experience. Service slow, with frequent disappearing acts, portion size small and inconsistent, over priced, and overall disappointing. Time for new management and kitchen staff, to make this place a go, and bring in returning clientele.

My sister and I went to B.A.N.K. one day after work. The drinks were ok, but I loved the cheese plate! Other than that the place was just average. I would suggest it if you are in the area and do not want to walk far, but if you are not and don't mind walking I wouldn't suggest it.
