This was my second time dining at Bank & Vine. I would have preferred sitting in the main dining area instead of near the bar area. I should have asked to be moved, but I did not.The appetizer, which was the beef Wellington, was excellent. I was a bit disappointed with the Chillian Sea Bass special entree, which was a bit salty. I topped off dinner with Tirramisus desert. Overall, it was average, but my date was great

My wife and I went with another couple for date night and we left extremely impressed. The staff was attentive and the service was perfect. Our courses came out as they should and everything was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend the chicken Blanco. It was exquisitely cooked crispy on the outside and perfectly moist on the inside. I can't wait until I get a chance to eat that again. I recommend it for any special occasion.
