   The ususal great food and service at Banks. It seemed a little noisier than usual making conversation for five at a round table a little challenging.

   We had a great meal with our French relatives arriving by train. The noise level was low, as the restaurant had just opened at noon, so there were few diners.

   We always enjoy eating at Banks before going to the theater. It is quieter early on Sunday and we appreciate that. Our server was excellent as most of them are in my experience. I liked my choices though' one of our party wasn't quite as happy with hers - said it "didn't really go together" - the avocado and crab toast - she felt it was the wrong cheese. Next time we will sit at a table as it is difficult to slide over when you have on wool clothes and you stick to the suede seats. I'm not complaining; just saying how it was for us today. We'll be back.

   The big eye tuna was fabulous as always. It is consistently the best, very tender and flavorful and the soba noodles pair perfectly with the rare tuna.

   Overall a great place with fancy dining and a casual bar side. The service was outstanding but the food seemed over priced and out of budget for any regular family or couple.

   Food was really good. The cocktails, not so much. Had a signature old fashioned that was served in an odd glass with regular ice, orange and basic maraschino cherry muddled at the bottom. I was not a fan.
