Amazing food - the baked salmon was delightful and they had a great special for a free bottle of wine with any two main meals. Service was great and the atmosphere was lovely. A must do

We have eaten as this restaurant many times over several years and it never disappoints. This coverted old bank have lovely ambiance. The restaurant now has a new chef and I think the meals are now even better. Evidence is how busy the place now is compared to when I first started dining here a few years ago. Located diagonally...

We went to The Bank for a friends 60th birthday, there were 14 of us and we found the food and the service fantastic.

Great space, lovely little boutique wines and really good food, beautifully presented and served. Yarraville is flying these days and the Bank is one of the best
