   Great Afternoon tea menu, was very different to what we have had in the past and can highly recommend it. The whole staff was welcoming and very friendly. Nit was very good waiter and met all our requests.

   What can I say? Top level service, Top level ambience and Top level venue! I booked a table (for the first time) at The Bank for a 25th wedding anniversary surprise for my wife. From the minute we arrived at The Bank, we were warmly greeted by Anupam (General Manager) and his colleagues and offered a choice of tables. The decor and vibe of the place is top notch and the history of its former use showed in clever touches through to bold statements displays throughout the venue. From the converted bank vault room and glass ceiling restaurant, to the fantastic spiral staircase leading to private dining and Luxury bar areas above, opulence and quality exuded throughout. The level of attention shown to us was first class and right up there with the high end establishments in the region. The food was delicious and varied and we struggled to finish the ample portions. Our waiter (named 'Hit') was truly exceptional and would not be out of place in ANY hospitality venue nationally. Thanks again Hit. Finally, Anupam took us for a tour of The Bank to see all of the impressive elements and finishes which, as a building contractor, I was keen to see and very impressed, we both were. We look forward to returning to The Bank with two things - A 'Deposit' of our friends and families time and a 'Withdrawal' of food, fun and great times and memories. FIRST CLASS!

   Excellent creative, contemporary Indian cuisine, with immaculate service from delightful people. Dining in the atrium was a delight. We will return for another dining experience soon.

   Lovely building food was delicious very different to authentic Indian cuisine. It would have been better if we sat in the main restaurant not the side room but would definitely go back.

   Very good food and Rahul was a very attentive server seeing to our every need. We have been here before and it's a great place to eat.

   Food was good, but let down by really poor service. Complained after a 45 min wait for starters (busy but not so busy that people who arrived after us had already been served starters/ mains). Staff apologised and offered a free drink as apology which was nice. Only one free drink turned up however.... After further 45 min wait complained again about main course not arriving. More apologies- apparently server hadn't put starter or main into system correctly. They hadn't spotted this when wondering where starters order had gone.... To add final insult they were surprised when i questioned if they thought it was reasonable to add a service charge for such a poor experience. Overall a real shame, good food ruined by really poor service. Won't be going back and wouldn't recommend.

   Enjoyed the food and good service. Side room was extremely noisy, hard to speak to others round the table. No sound acoustics in this room as decor is very stark. Settled down later when the restaurant emptied out.

   First time at the Bank. Made welcome from first stepping into the restaurant . Food was delicious- Indian with a twist and a modern touch. Great to meet the chef and discuss the food. When they realised it was our wedding anniversary, they made a special fuss of us. Will definitely be going back to this restaurant.

    First time at the Bank food was tasty and the ambience was nice. Service was a little slow as the restaurant was really busy but this didn’t really take anything away from our experience. Hit who served us was great he was professional and hospitable at all times.
