Banc Cafe, New York NY

Very charming date spot! I went here for after-dinner drinks on a Tuesday night and there were so many other dates around. They have large windows on the sides that fully open when the weather’s warm.

Food was excellent, Saw waitress to take order for drink and meal. Brought my drink and didn't see her for the rest of my meal. A food runner brought me my plate and she brought me my check. Would have had a second beer had I had a chance to order it.

Went with 4 friends, seated in a round banquette for 6 at lunch.
We all loved the menu, sharing 3 appetizers, then each having a main salad.
Service was efficient and friendly.
We'll definitely return.

After having Banc on my bucket list for ages, I got a chance to visit them this Saturday with a group of friends.

I ordered the vegetarian burger. The presentation was great but I realized after sometime that there were pieces of glasses in the burger patty. I really found a big piece 1 cm long in my big burger bite and that’s when it hit me that what I was suspecting as just crunchy lettuce was never lettuce in reality.: (

We notified the staff and they were kind enough to apologize and offer my friends some complimentary desserts while I rushed home to drink a ton of salt water and get the burger+ out of the system. Really I wish the restaurant took extra steps to avoid this kind of mistake. It could be dangerous on so many levels.

Sadly I won’t be returning to this restaurant especially after spending serval hours of panic and days of distress from their negligence. Please do better - you really have a great customer base and location.

Came here to celebrate a special occasion with about a dozen friends. Located on the corner of Third & 30th, with the west facing side completely open, made for a very cool, comfortable breeze and an unobstructed view of all the action passing by on the avenue. Employees were friendly and seems happy to help us. Food was brought out regularly and was pretty tasty. Mostly finger food and desserts. We never felt ignored, nor were the servers overly intrusive. Drinks were very good. Place was crowded but not annoyingly so. Bathrooms were very clean. I could have sat there all day.

A classic - great food, great music (sometimes live music!), and a generally very pleasant and fun place

We stumbled upon this restaurant. What a delight. We enjoyed the food. The staff was kind and friendly.

One of my new favourite bars in the city! We walked past and was immediately drawn to the live music and plenty of outdoor seating. The food and drinks were delicious and the service was excellent. We look forward to coming back!

Had a small gathering here and enjoyed the service and food, which was served platter style, which was perfect!

The bar’s mocktails were delicious and the live music added fantastic vibe to the experience

This is a restaurant with a great atmosphere on the West side of Manhattan. The service staff were attentive and gave great recommendations about menu items. The filet mignon baguette was very unique and quite delicious, and the atmosphere was very welcoming and bright. There is a good amount of outdoor seating, which is fantastic when the weather is permitting. Overall, a comfortable place to relax and enjoy delicious food.

The spot is very nice. Is like a bar to go and just get wasted. Very loud music, party style. Stopped by for appetizers and drinks, and well, it was underwhelming. Servers kept on passing by without acknowledgment. And once they did, they apologized. I'll take that. It was not busy. Appetizers were cold and tasted like frozen food. So. I'll give it a try another day for an actual meal but not holding my breath.

Great for a brunch spot on a lazy day, or if you want a good spot for brunch/drinks with friends.

Good food, good service. The outdoors was nice, except for the constant fire truck sirens, but that's not Banc's fault.

A neighborhood staple. Always a good time. Be sure to catch Nick Cabrera when he plays there. Fantastic.

I haven’t been here since 2018 but when I went the burgers were super good. That’s all I remember but it was definitely a notable restaurant that I will visit next time I’m in the city.
