What Davida Holmes doesn't like about Banks' Seafood Kitchen Raw:
The food was outstanding as it always is… our server Ryan was as just as outstanding, extremely attentive and extremely friendly, he made our experience even better then it usually is!!! View all feedback. What MAGAZINE likes about Banks' Seafood Kitchen Raw:
Beside the market and near Amtrak, it is certainly one of the best establishments on the waterfront. We ordered a flood of food during 'Sunday Funday. ' For the most part, the food was delicious and the presentation was excellent. It is an ideal place for everyone, regardless of age. View all feedback.

The waterfront restaurant offers a mix of reviews, from disappointing service to outstanding food. While some diners were displeased with aspects such as tasteless soft shell crabs and slow service, others raved about tasty dishes like brussels sprouts and truffle fries and fresh oysters. The ambiance and views of the river were praised, making it a great spot for business meetings or special occasions. With a variety of dishes and attentive service, the restaurant seems to have something for everyone despite some areas for improvement. Overall, it's a recommended spot on the waterfront for various dining experiences.
