Pre-theater dinner. We were quickly seated and our server arrived promptly and cheerfully. Two of us had familiar favorites which did not disappoint, two had new to us combinations involving scallops and shrimp. Both were richly flavored and enjoyable.

The fire place warmed my back, very quiet atmosphere, perfect service, excellent food - The Bluepoint and Stag oysters were delicious, the little neck clams with Thai spices wonderful, the lemon lava cake very satisfying. Our charming & professional server Marissa made for a perfect lunch. Looking forward to our next visit.

It had been about 8 years since I had been to Banks. The oyster selection is decent. The Brussels sprout salad, clams casino and Lobster in the Nude were great. The only downside was the clam chowder, that was all potatoes and no clams.
