Overall, a good, but not great dinner experience.
Our waitress, Esmeralda, did a fantastic job.
The apoetizers were very good, including the tri-tip bruchetta and the shrimp. Nice preparations, and easily shared.
Three of the diners tonight had steak, and two of the three were happy with how their steaks were cooked. The third steak, ordered and marked medium well, came medium rare at best. An experienced chef won’t miss doneness by two indisputable levels of doneness. One level of doneness might be debatable, but two levels?? No, the chef messed that up for sure. And sending a steak back? Who knows what one will get in return.
I had the pork belly carbonerra and it was good and very rich, as expected. This dish can easily be shared by two or maybe three with perhaps appetizers.
The table bread was very good, but should be served with olive oil and balsamic, or at least they should be offered. The bread was also used as croutons in the dinner salad and were a disappointment thete as the croutons were not crisped in butter or olive oil and chewed like day old bread.
The waitress brought by fresh cracked pepper for the dinner salads, and then returned on request to pepper an entre. There were no salt and pepper shakers on the tables.

Happy Hour
Tuesday to Sunday
3pm to 5pm & 8pm to close
Esmeralda was our server for the evening, she went beyond and treated us kindly, quickly, even if she was attending other tables and ensured we were well off for the evening.
So worth it!
Food was delicious, fresh and there are many options to choose from.
Drinks were strong, not weak at all, and good amount.
All food and the drink were from the Happy Hour Menu, we wanted to try out our first time in budget
Happy Hour is only available in their patio (they have heaters) or their bar area.

Open since January 2025, I just tried it and I am very pleased. Ill add videos, look at how they pay attention to detal! The flavors are delicious and very enjoyable.
I got the Beef Wellington Bites, the sauce and delicious! Tri Tip Bruschetta, WHOA! YOU HAVE TO GET THESE!
Rosemary chicken and Lamb Chop plate. The chicken enchilada soup is going to be good if you’re latino or enjoy Hispanic food.
Just try it, don’t worry about not liking it, the food is good and worth the visit.
Esmeralda was an exceptional hostess and waitress. Kudos! Will be back, all the way from Tehachapi

This place is great overall. The appetizers were excellent, the salmon and vegetables were on point, and even the desserts hit the mark. Unfortunately, the ribeye was a letdown, it was tough, thin, and cooked well done even though I ordered it medium.

we went for my boyfriend’s birthday and everything was great!! sadly we couldn’t eat too much since we didn’t feel too well, but the food was delicious. antonio was super kind and helpful. he even sang happy birthday you’re awesome!
i got the gnocchi and it was really good; the risotto was also a favorite! the steak was cooked perfectly for us but i wish it was seasoned a bit more.
lastly, the theme of the restaurant was 10/10. i love themed restaurants and the menus, atmosphere, etc. were too cool

First I want to thank our waitress Esmeralda for recommending the coconut shrimp. They were delicious. She was very polite. The food here is very delicious. We had appetizer meal and the drinks were very good. The food was cooked to order. It did not take that long to come out and it was just good. I’m glad we have a good restaurant on our side of town. I was the owners must success and we will be coming back.

I love it when a restaurant goes all in on the design and has amazing food too. I love all the little details that help make up the bank theme. Make note of the slip of paper that wraps up your napkin and silverware. And the menus are file folders removed from a cabinet. There are clocks for times for different world cities, and on the day we visited, both the bartender, and the waiter looked like they fit right in with the theme. Bartender has a nice handlebar mustache, and (branded) old-timey golf cap, and our waiter was wearing a nice crisp white shirt with suspenders. I love a restaurant that goes the extra mile. Even the water is served from a nice cut glass decanter Now the food, was amazing. Did you know they have a pickled tongue sandwich on their menu? It’s really good. So is the chicken piccata! They make their own bread daily too. and it’s very tasty. We opted out of dessert that night, because we both wanted affogato, but it was late, and that has caffeine. So we just had another glass of wine instead. On our second visit we tried the pork belly carbonara and another chicken picatta. We love this place

First, Esmeralda was a fantastic server. Thank you for checking on us, providing recommendations, friendliness and your professionalism. Next, I am so happy that this place is on our side of town!! The food was delicious, everything was great. The appetizers, main dishes, desserts and drinks. I look forward to bringing family when they’re in town, and being regulars here. Thank you for bringing this to us! We wish you much success as a business and for all those you employ. Love the atmosphere too.

The food was ok, service was excellent, and overall the restaurant was clean. My family ordered different pasta dishes and a steak dish and they all tasted OK. The prices are comparable to other restaurants. I would come here again but it wouldn’t be my first choice for italian cuisine.

To start, the atmosphere is quite pleasant. There is chatter in the air from the other guests. But, not imposingly so. The strong theme of the bank that used to be in this building is very present with a vintage twist. You feel as though you are circa 1940 to 1950.
Looking around, you may find the names of several notorious criminals or otherwise lawless individuals on the backs of chairs, the walls, even in the restrooms wallpapering.
The attention to detail for the theme that they were trying to achieve for this restaurant is very thoughtful, and intense. The vinyl decals (famous criminal names) on the chairs is a little lackluster, as many of them are beginning to peel off. Rather than removing them however, I would recommend the management to somehow find a way to make them more permanent with a laminate or a stronger vinyl.
Our menus were presented as case files with the names of notorious gang member, outlaw or otherwise lawless individual on the protruding tab. Examples would be, Billy the kid, machine gun Kelly, and Bonnie and Clyde. Again, the attention to detail did not go past my notice .
It was a busy night. That being said, our server returned to the table several times, and never once offered to refill our waters. We literally waited for our ice to melt to drink it. It had the opportunity to do so in between visits from our server. She, was sweet and very apologetic for her absence however.
The manager, although seemingly very strict, seemed very engaged in helping his servers and still making time to say hi to guests that he recognized. Although, I will note that he did not visit our table. His presence was a relaxed, If not attentive to his employees, nature.
The bathrooms were very clean and sterile. Nothing extraordinary about them. Not, a huge accommodation for the capacity of guests however. For the upscale attempt at presentation, there were very few amenities for refreshing oneself .
The food despite the prices being moderately pricey, was a solid 6.5 or gracious 7 out of 10. I had the New York steak with risotto. I elected a soup over a salad. However, either choice would not have mattered as it never came.
When I tried to have it removed from my ticket, the waitress nervously explained that it was part of my dinner. She offered to give me the soup to go. I asked if they could just discount the price of the soup from my ticket. She said that she would have to ask the management. We sat for another 15 minutes for that.
In conclusion, I must fairly note that this is a very new restaurant only opening recently. There is lots of room to grow, and I attribute many of my noted discomforts to the confusion of growing pains.
Our waitress apologized profusely when bringing us our ticket. For that, and that only, I left a modest tip. I look forward to trying this restaurant again in the future for a better experience.
