new holidays menu is a dramatic elevation. The chocolate cake feels like a warm embrace, and perfect finish after the steak with Brussels sprouts. The new bartender deserves a standing ovation – their Old Fashioneds are a solid 10/10.

The small plates were great to share or to have as individual apps. The sides were great, especially the Brussels sprout! Very flavorful and plated nicely. The coconut flan was delicious and we will definitely be back to order the other items we didn’t get to this time!

If you haven’t visited BANC House in a while, get back there. They have made some slight changes to the menu but have stayed true to their brand. The bao buns are killer and the raw bar is always fresh and delicious. Their service is friendly and attentive due to the leadership of Line. Swing by and say “hi” to Line.
