Pros: location Cons: overcrowed -- staff treat clients like sheep!

The pieces don't quite all fit together 4/15/2005

This seemed like it might be a nice addition to Murray Hill, and it does work on a certain level. The food was excellent. This place's problem is that it doesn't seem to be able to decide on it's identity. When you're charging upwards of $28 an entree, you expect there to be a focus on the food more than the ""scene."" The atmosphere is bullied by the music filtering in from the bar section and the presence of a TV in the main dining area. The wait staff were less than attentive, and the table for four was cramped. If you're going to spend this kind of money on dinner, you can do better. Pros: food, appetizers Cons: atmosphere, space, service more

Redefining Murray Hill 2/1/2005

Visited the new banc cafe last weekend, what a transformation from what used to be there. Four of us had dinner, food was tremendous, service was friendly & efficient, the d.j spun a nice mix of R'nB house & hip hop, the crowd was definitely into it. We loved the decor which has a retro bohemian feel, the curved banquettes are great & the martini's are served in nice oversized glasses. We will definitely be making this are new hangout. Pros: Ambience, Food , Music more

Happy Guest 2/1/2005

Calling this place a cafe is a stretch. It's more restaraunt lounge.Given that, it's not another god awful exclusive lounge with velvet ropes. Myself & two friends went for dinner. In a word Great Try the Tuna Steak. Server was very friendly. Definitely a neighborhood crowd. Good. Had a couple of beers at the bar after dinner.If you can handle a bustling scene you'll like this one. more

WTF is this? 12/11/2004

It's a Sat night. A buddy and I are itching for a game of pool. We head to what used to be Bank Cafe, a pretty damn fun bar. All remnants of what used to be are gone, including the pool tables. And now, its piker 21 year old admin. assistants as far as the eye can see...blech. Pros: It's not Mercury Bar more
