Bank & Bourbon

Super nice restaurant, some of the best food I've had, and it proves that the only reason anyone should ever have to go to Philly is the excellent food.I ordered the filet mignon, which melted in my mouth, with a gorgeous, medium rare center, and a crisp, flavorful crust. Side dishes included some mashed sweet potatoes and broccoletti, which were all delicious and seasoned to perfection. This steak was $57, and it was worth it. I had a bite of my friend's octopus too, which was outstanding. Only complaint I have is the small menu, otherwise this place, while pricey, is awesome. My boss paid for everyone's dinner, so that wasn't a problem in the slightest.

I went for brunch and honestly it was just okay. The food was good but seemed expensive for what it was. It's attached to a hotel, so if you're staying there it's definitely convenient but I'd skip it and go somewhere else for brunch.

What a cool spot! Stopped here to have drinks while visiting a friend in Philly. We both had d Fashioneds, me with Makers, my friend with Bulleit Rye. My only "critique" was the small ice cubes instead of one large one. We also had garlic parm fries and some really good buffalo wings. The servers are attentive. It's in the lobby of the Loews hotel but the vibe is not like your average hotel lobby lounge. Good place for after work/post-sightseeing drinks. I would definitely utter go again if I was in Philly.

August 10 2023 - 4 for dinner. I am just disappointed to even be posting this review other than to say the hospitality business in Philly is in deep trouble if a flagship hotel like this has staff and management that is this out of touch with the norms and expectations of the general public let along at an 'upscale' hotel chain like Loews. I don't have many 1 star reviews, usually I just delete the pictures and try to forget the whole experience. BUT maybe Bank and Bourbon can take some feedback, make some changes, lead and manage their way out of this?? OR until then another Yelper can avoid my mistake.......its why I post reviews in the first place. The service at the bar and then at the restaurant was simply abysmal. I felt like we were to 'blame' for these folks having to actually come to work and do something? Not chronologically millennials but the attitude and attention to the diners was totally absent. Like govt workers? On a Thursday night it was almost empty to boot except one large group.The costs and resulting wine portions were almost insulting for the labels and cellars being consumed. Same with with the martini and mixed beverages. It was like 4x the cost of the already outrageous PA LCB wholesale costs...... So a double negative - EXPENSIVE and PITFUL service. When the disjointed 4 entrees eventually all arrived the salmon diner was insanely massive (I guess to justify the price) and the Amish Half chicken was also very large. Honestly BOTH meals were well cooked and tasted good mostly. But our experience there was already ruined by tracking down wait staff and getting orders straitened out, trying to order drinks, even have our first drink order taken?? We almost left TWICE and should have gone the FIRST time we thought we should have??? Oddly we had multiple different salads and entrees that had the same mustard style dressing? My wife's TROUT with cipollini onions, haricot verts, baby arugula, caper-brown butter had the same mustard tasting dressing as my BRUSSEL SPROUTS SALAD with cranberries, pecans, held the fog goat cheese, champagne vinaigrette dressing that was also heavily mustard flavered??? I actually did NOT go around the corner to Vedge one of my favorite restaurants in the country up there with PerCe, Bouchon, French Laundry, Le Bec Fin, etc etc. and had friends come to the Lowes for the easy parking and the fact that we were staying there???? I am a Lifetime Titanium Elite with Marriott brands and opted NOT to stay there across the street for LESS money per night because of my status and 40 years of staying with them. This was my second stay with Loews Hotels in my 40 years of travel. I have never eaten at a brand restaurant hotel that was this bad with service? Our guest couple own/have owned multiple/ restaurants in Bucks County and a currently a major Wedding venue as well. They were shocked. What a mistake and disappointment.

I ate a late dinner with coworkers. We ordered several appetizers to share. The food was decent, and our server was very friendly and attentive. Nice restaurant for guests of the hotel.

Great food, great service, loved the ambiance. I stopped in after a morning at Joseph Anthony Spa, on a weekday during lunch. I made it for lunch and had the place pretty much to myself. My server was attentive, he checked on me often and they didn't rush me out. I had the fried chicken sandwich and it was soooo good. It was huge, fried just right and tasted oh so good. The side bread and butter was good as well.

Hearty country style cooking served in hot skillets! Can't go wrong with the steak or the chicken! Great people watching view of Market St & excellent service! A must stop for Bourbon lovers with a private tasting room!

Bank & Bourbon offers breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, with an extensive drink list.We came here as a large group for a later dinner, and we ordered the following starters:+Charred Romain Caesar Salad - with romesco, sourdough croutons, and a lemon-caesar dressing+Grilled Octopus - with shishitos, tomato confit, and a red onion vinaigrette+Seafood Chowder - with lump crab, creme fraiche, and herbs - this was stated as having a bit of a kick, so if you're not into spicy, avoid!For shareable sides, we had:+the Parmesan Rosemary Fries - the parm could have been layered and sprinkled throughout+Chive-Roasted Local Mushrooms - I love mushrooms, and this was my favorite for the night; could have eaten multiple servings of these!+Roasted Baby Carrots - with tarragon-honey butter; the carrots were not really 'baby'-sized, but they could have been roasted more; most of them were pretty raw+Smashed Fingerlings - served with herb butter; some of these were overbaked and more on the dryer side, and the skins were toughFor the entree, I had the Sixty-South Salmon - this came with a sambal-maple glaze, sweet potato succotash, and miso butter; the fish was very overcooked and very dried out. The sambal-maple glaze made it hard to chew, as it was super hard. Wasn't sure where the miso butter was. The sweet potato succotash was just okay, but could have been seasoned.I also tried their Blueberry Pie for dessert, which was more of a tart - topped with a blueberry compote and a scoop of crumb cake ice cream, this was just okay; I did enjoy the generous amount of blueberries, but the crust was very dry and crumbly.Service was very friendly; I wished extra silverware or larger spoons were offered with each of the side dishes, as we did keep requesting for extra wares. I also wished that they left pitchers of ice water at the table, as most of our drinks were waiting to be refilled.The vibe of the restaurant is dark and chic, and this place seems to be a favorite choice for HH.+Chive-Roasted Local Mushrooms+friendly service

Nice atmosphere, nice and friendly staff. Food was ok but overpriced. Not a fan of the potatoes.

I am updating my review because I have been to this restaurant many times over many years so I have discerned changes.First of all, I have noticed a heavier and heavier hand with sauces and dressings. I had three appetizers and every one was over-sauced or over-dressed. The flavors were cloying too I didn't really enjoy any of them. I detected this before but I think it is a trend, and a common problem in Philadelphia restaurants in my view. I just came back from Paris and they certainly have a lighter hand with everything so I admit that could color my perceptions. I might have even removed one star, though this is the standard problem where differences are measured in less than a star but Yelp doesn't accommodate us.I slammed the service at this resto because consistently over years I felt uncomfortable with the staff. Yesterday my experience was the opposite. The host couldn't have been warmer. My server also was extremely warm throughout the meal. There is some kind of ideal where a server makes the customer comfortable without being fawning, that was him. I don't know why there was a transformation, I had the sense there had been staff turnover.I found the food distasteful enough that I would think twice about eating here, though in fairness all I had was appetizers. But the extremely warm service, the fact that this resto is consistently spacious (lots of empty seats, the space much larger than the clientele it attracts, makes this place a very useful stop for dates (for example) or meetings.
