Banc Cafe

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!

My friends and I were enjoying our evening when an unexpected incident occurred. While having a polite conversation with someone, a man intervened, placed his hand on me, and attempted to stop the interaction. I calmly asked him not to touch me and inquired if the person I was speaking with was his companion, to which he did not respond. Choosing to de-escalate, I walked away.Shortly after, I was approached by the bouncer and what appeared to be the owner, who asked me to leave without providing any explanation. I complied, paid my tab, and exited without issue.This experience felt unfair and unwarranted. The treatment I received seemed biased, potentially favoring certain patrons or regulars. I am deeply disappointed by this lack of professionalism and respect, and I believe this incident may have been racially motivated. I would not recommend this establishment and am considering legal action to address this matter

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.

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.

I'm an east side kinda girl and just moved into the area. I discovered this place while walking around one weekend. It's very quaint, has a nice ambiance, and the staff here are very friendly. The waiter with the super long eyelashes kept checking on me repeatedly to make sure i was attended to. I forgot to ask him if those eyelashes were natural, or if he used an eyelash curler tee hee. They even stay open super late on the weekends with a live band. I had a few appetizers here, and the chicken quesadilla was to DIE for! The menu is very diverse with a wide selection of choices to accommodate any mood and food palette. I frequent this place regularly now and encourage you check out this place as well for a good time, relaxation, and to have a nice drink with friends.

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!

I've been wanting to check out Banc for a while and finally had a chance to on a recent Friday. It was unseasonably warm, and I was delighted to be able to immediately snag a table outdoors. There is a lot of outdoor seating (they're on a street corner) and the setup is fairly nice, so this can be a go-to spot if you're primarily concerned with dining or drinking al fresco.I wasn't expecting the food or drinks to be off the charts, but I was surprised by how uneven everything was.We did a starter sampler, which comprises smaller portions of four starters of your choice, along with a full order of the burrata. The burrata, served with arugula and tomato slices, was quite good. Although it wasn't the creamiest or most flavorful burrata, it was fresh, and the toppings of pesto and balsamic made for a complex, all-around enjoyable dish. The accompanying little toasts were great. Our sampler platter was a little more mixed. The presentation of the plate itself was nice. -Chicken taco - served in a soft shell with pico de gallo and a fresh slice of avocado, these were good. Served with a flavorful salsa that added some zest. -The goat cheese croquettes, coconut shrimp, and tuna and avocado tartare all sounded great, but they were kind of meh. The shrimp were tough and didn't taste like much, and I didn't notice any coconut. The tartare was also bland and would've benefited from some sesame oil. The drinks were like night and day. My first, the Gin Blossom, was gorgeous to look at and pretty tasty. The notes of honey, lemon, and pomegranate were pretty mild, and the drink overall tasted (and looked) a bit like a subdued Aviation. I think it would've benefited from a touch more sweetness to bring out the other flavors, but overall I enjoyed it. My second drink, The Natural (vodka, lime, basil, agave, club soda) seemed like it would be difficult to screw up, but it was bad. I couldn't taste any club soda, basil, or agave, so it ended up just tasting like a vodka with a splash of lime. The basil was literally a handful of basil plunked into the drink; it turned into a gloopy mess that only served to block my straw. Not at all worth the $15.Our server was really friendly, which I always appreciate. I would probably only come back if I really wanted an outdoor spot and having trouble finding anywhere else.

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.

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 margFood:- 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 specialWorth checking out and happy hour drinks are a good deal!
