Delicious dinner with friends on Sunday night. They have half price bottles of wine which was very nice to pair with our meal! Great atmosphere with the live music which started just after 8pm!

I had this place bookmarked due to their happy hour deal for the cocktails and bar bites. I went on a Tuesday to check it out as HH is only on Mon-Tues. I only got the bar bites - the parmesean truffle fries which comes with truffle sauce and sweet chili wings. Both were great choices. I would definitely order the wings again, but I was in a hurry. The service could've been better. Everytime I wanted something no one was around and when I wasn't ready people were around. Oh wells. The person at the front was nice as he explained the happy hour deal and stated that we can sit at a regular table and not at the bar for happy hour. All in all, I would go back just for the wings.

Cute spot. I enjoy the holiday decorations and how vibrant the place is at night. The food was delicious. I had grilled chicken and pear salad. Also tried burger and fries. Everyone was very friendly.

Really great brunch place! We came on Saturday morning and were seated right away. There is plenty of seating and the ambiance is old timey but classy as the same time. There are booths as well as tables and a bar area. I ordered the goat cheese wrap and really loved it! The portion size was great if you're hungry. The goat cheese and pesto in the wrap was soooo delicious and definitely something I will add to my wrap rotation at home. They also have lots of vegetarian friendly options. The staff was helpful and let us stay for a while even after we paid the bill. I really appreciated their patience and I will definitely be coming back!

Banc cafe is a great place for a nice happy hour after work! The inside of the restaurant has a really cool vibe to it, and even the outdoor seating area has a fun ambiance. The service is also super fast and attentive, and everyone is really nice! In terms of the food, I wish we'd just stuck to the appetizer sampler instead of our main course items. The linguine alla vodka wasn't great, the sauce was watery and dish as a whole lacked flavor. The risotto was very truffle heavy, which I loved, but it wasn't very cream. For the appetizers, I'd highly recommend the gnocchi and goat cheese croquettes! I would definitely come back for happy hours and grabbing quick bites, but I need to try more main course items because I didn't enjoy what I got this time around.

02/24/24: Late night stop after the movies. NYC is really the place that doesn't sleep. Needed a quick bite, pretty crowded but then again it was a nice day and it's Saturday night. Very lively, standing room only. Live band at the time. Chose to site in their outside enclosed area too loud inside. Ordered my usual grill chicken wrap. Yummy as usual. My son had a bacon cheeseburger equally satisfying. Bang Bang shrimp were ok. My only disappointment was my pornstar martini. I've have a few unfortunately this one was a bit lack luster. But all in all, decent dine.

Went here for happy hour and tried all the cocktail! For $9 each they were strong so it was well worth it! Here my rankings from most to least favorite: - Tennessee whiskey: fruity and sweet, tasted like pineapple juice - rose sangria: refreshing - cucumber: light, great for summer - watermelon sugar: a spicy marg Food: - banc burger- really good! Lives up to the hype and had a great balance of savory and umami flavors - fig flatbread: liked the Brie with the fig and bread - filet mignon baguette: too much blue cheese but otherwise ok - coconut shrimp: nothing special Worth checking out and happy hour drinks are a good deal!
