The Banc - London

We traveled from Devon and were staying in Finsbury Park when we discovered this restaurant on OpenTable. The interior decor was lovely and the waitstaff were fantastic and very friendly. The food was delicious and we had a great time. However, as we waited for our Uber at the entrance, we witnessed the restaurant owner/manager (a man) shouting and speaking harshly to two of the waitresses at the front desk. His behavior was aggressive and made us feel uneasy. The two girls appeared upset and embarrassed, especially in front of the customers. It was disappointing to witness such treatment of staff behind the scenes of what was an otherwise lovely restaurant.

I had a wonderful time at this restaurant - the atmosphere was charming, the food was delicious, and the staff were attentive and friendly.

Absolutely phenomenal restaurant, great music, food and decor. I would definitely visit again

Went for dinner and drinks. Food was nice and the drinks too. Couldn’t get into the lounge as it was fully booked. At busy times, you have to wait for your table even with a reservation. Ambience is really nice too.

Wonderful experience, quite hospitable and flexible staff (moved me from dining room to shisha lounge with ease). A one-of-everything kind of menu. I would definitely return. Do take cash (only) for the lounge.
