Banc Cafe — Restaurant in New York

Disrespectful people, manager and employees. My sister was told that table for 5 people would be ready in an hour. After 1 hour and 15 mins later, some people left at the bar side table and while we were trying to seat ourselves down we were told that table was also reserved for some other “customers” like we werent the ones who waited for over 80mins so we were forced to leave that table very rudely. As a mediterranean person we speak with our hands and gestures when we get excited, nervous or anything in between. When hostess was trying to push us away from the table I simply asked her why they wouldnt tell us the wait would be longer than one hour. They claimed that my sister was told that the wait would be over an hour, like we were lying to them. If that was the case we wouldnt be waiting for the table. After that, she told me “dont put your finger to my face” I was emotionally harassed by her behavior. After that, while I was expecting an apology from the manager he came and yelled saying that “dont put your finger at her face” which wasnt the case and i also told him I was mediterranean thats the way we talk. He wouldnt understand at all. After the incident, I totally felt discriminated by hostess and the manager as well as emotionally harassed. This place was a totally different 3 years ago. I would suggest everybody to stay away from this place. I hope my review helps other people so that they wont get hurt...

We visited Banc on December 31st for a family dinner around 6 PM, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish! Despite not having a reservation on New Year’s Eve, the manager, Tom, greeted us warmly and went above and beyond to find a table that suited our group of three adults and my 2-year-old daughter.

We were seated in the extended seating area—a fully enclosed and heated patio—which was both comfortable and inviting. The entire staff was professional, kind, and knowledgeable, readily answering our questions about the food and drink options. The kids' menu was a thoughtful touch, with great portion sizes that worked perfectly for our little one.

When it came to the food, everything arrived hot and flavorful, exceeding our expectations. The overall atmosphere, combined with the attentive service, made the evening special for our family.

A special thank you to Tom for being so accommodating, welcoming, and especially kind to our daughter. We truly appreciated the personal touch on such a busy night. We’re already looking forward to returning for a drink, date night, or another family dinner in the neighborhood.

Highly recommend Banc for anyone looking for excellent food, great service, and a family-friendly...

Looking for a place to go for Brunch today we went here as I liked the look of their Brunch menu. Don't know whether it was due to the memorial day weekend but there weren't very many other patrons, consequently we had our choice of the outdoor seating.

I went for the fried chicken Belgian waffles and the husband went for the Irish breakfast. I was happy that my waffles were nice and crunchy unlike the normally soft and squishy waffles that you get. The only snag was that because the fried chicken was sandwiched between 2 waffles did mean that the fried chicken coating wasn't that crispy.

The Irish Breakfast was a huge dish and the husband also mentioned that the black and white puddings were actually really good. I did notice that instead of chunky fries (AKA chips) they'd substituted it for home fries. The sausages weren't of the chunky variety but were nice enough. The blood orange mimosa he had also got a shout out as being delish!

All of it was reasonably priced too.

Our waiter was pleasant and attentive and we liked the outside seating area, which was nicely shaded even in the very hot 30C weather.

Another Brunch place to add to my...
