The fire place warmed my back, very quiet atmosphere, perfect service, excellent food - The Bluepoint and Stag oysters were delicious, the little neck clams with Thai spices wonderful, the lemon lava cake very satisfying. Our charming & professional server Marissa made for a perfect lunch. Looking forward to our next visit.

It had been about 8 years since I had been to Banks. The oyster selection is decent. The Brussels sprout salad, clams casino and Lobster in the Nude were great. The only downside was the clam chowder, that was all potatoes and no clams.

Fantastic. Every dish was engaging and top notch. Started with Clams Casino, on to the Crab Cakes and finished with Apricot Truffles. Outrageous at every turn. Nothing was overlooked in these creations, delicious.

Second time at this restaurant, first time it was excellent about a year ago. This time not so good. Had the Baja tacos, fish was very good but the lettuce and cabbage must have been sitting out all night. It was dried out, not good for a supposedly fine restaurant and slightly brown. That is unacceptable for a restaurant of this calaber. Hardly any sauce on top and a dried out lime! The lobster roll was good and the fries were good. Service was not very good either. And that definitely can make it or break it. Would I go back probably not only if I was in the area and needed something to eat.

We were served promptly by Amy who was an excellent Server. We got lobster rolls even though' they weren't on the menu. The restaurant wasn't full because it was early so the noise level was down from the usual evening crowd. A nice way to have a bite to eat before going to the theater. We'll certainly do it again.
