    The burger was just ok. The steak frites was ok but sloppily presented. The French onion soup was basically inedible - burnt onions and almost all croutons. We visit often and hope it was just an off night.

    Was told they had great oysters and the best truffle burger, everything was super salty and didn’t live up to the hype. Our server was also cold and completely forgot a dish.

    We love La Banque. Only problem was sitting near the front door brrrrr. We loved the escargot, onion soup. And the cocktails were superb. All of our entrees were excellent Duck Burger and Beef B. Our server Morgan was charming. All good just solve the front door problem.

    Ther restaurant is beautiful and our service was excellent. The guys loved there burgers. I was so disappointed by my quiche. The quiche was dry and tiny, the size of half dollar and as tall as a match box. Came home hungry. Probably will not return too many other places to try.
