Banque Williamstown

Highly Recommend!! Been here a couple times now since 1st Jan 12 (new owners). Once in the evening, we sat inside the gorgeous restaurant - clean, white, and friendly, smiling staff. I ordered the Lamb and Fatoush dish - incredible!! Next time I went on a Sunday lunch with 8 friends, we sat in the courtyard and drank fresh sangria. The chef/owner cooked paella in the courtyard that a couple friends ordered (and loved). I had the seafood pasta - ate until the last bite. We ended up staying a few hours as they had live music from a couple singers/guitarist/trumpeter. Perfect sunday afternoon, relaxing and satisfying. We will all be back.

We went last night and it was lovely, the staff were polite and nice and the food delicious, would recommend to anyone

Came to have lunch here on a sunny sunday. Outside tables were full but was empty inside. Took about 10 minutes for our order to be taken, only to be told another 10 minutes later that what we wanted had sold out. Waiter then failed to apologize or offer a menu for more options. Once we re-ordered, it took another 10 minutes for the waiter to return and tell us that this was now not available. Once we had ordered yet again, the food took about 30 minutes, and was only produced oncew e'd asked the waitress to check on our meals. A tad supicious that the food was magically ready as soon as she's gone to check - makes me wonder how long it had been sitting on the pass. This was even more evident once we'd started eating - chips and most of food was lukeward. No staff checked on us after this, no further drinks were offered and we paid and left without a single thankyou or come again. For a restaurant with so much potential in such a beautiful location, they could do so much better. Staff spent majority of time looking like someone had died. Was a huge disappointment and was definitely a downer on our afternoon. Will not be returning.

Looks lovely inside but they cannot match the decor with either the food or the service. Not that we could judge the food really, since it never arrived after 25 mins waiting (and it wasnt peak time either - it was 3pm and the inside tables were empty - surely a mini burger and a foccacia isnt that hard?). When asked how long it would be - another 25 minutes??? Seriously? Anyway, waiter apologised but they really didnt seem to care when we cancelled our order. If they had at least told us when we sat down that there was a backlog and the kitchen was behind, we would have appreciated it as we would have gone elsewhere!
