  “Fabulous location, staff were very attentive, checked if we needed drinks regularly. The food was lovely we went for the 3 dishes for £23. My partner had the virgin which was beautiful. Would recommend. Despite it being busy because of a the local Guid Nychburris festival we were seated straight away. The atmosphere was friendly and not too noisy.”

  “I was thrilled and excited to find a place that can so easily cater to my intolerances and dietary restrictions. We had lunch today to celebrate our wedding anniversary and the food was stunning. The standout dish was the crispy chili beef with prawn crackers. I cannot recommend it enough. We also had the squid, the katsu cauliflower bites, greek lamb kebab, steak fries, halloumi, salted caramel tart and white chocolate profiteroles (which my husband was raving about for ages afterwards). I had PLENTY of options to choose from, rather than the usual small handful I find at restaurants, and I could happily have worked my way through the rest of the menu. Not only is the quality of the food stunning, but the portion sizes are fantastic. I did not expect, with them being tapas dishes, that they would contain as much as they did. The mocktail menu too was bigger than most and wasn't just fruit juices mixed together. I can't think of anything that could have improved it. The staff member who served us was lovely and my communication on messenger with the owner was wonderful too. I am gutted that we live so far away from this restaurant because if we were closer, we would absolutely be coming back frequently. If you live in the area, make sure to keep visiting them.”

  “Popped into The Bank Bar and Tapas last night without a booking. They were busy, but the staff were super helpful and managed to sort a table for the six of us. All the food was really nice and we had a great time. Definitely recommend if you’re in Dumfries!”

  “£22 for 3 dishes is quite the steal. The dishes are actually quite big which is nice as many other tapas will give you 3 pieces of calamari and charge you £7. I was completely full just on my own and I could see this filling up two people. Food was good. Philly cheese steak maybe could be a bit more seasoned. Staff are lovely and the place is beautiful. Would recommend.”

  “This restaurant is great for a meal out. Tapas deal on my visit £20 for 3 items /bowls per person. Really good food and filling too, no silly wee helpings! Sweets are available as an extra if required. Drinks reasonable price. Cocktails delicious too. Attentive table service through out Atmosphere pleasant. Highly recommended.”

  “Our original dinner choice was having a pop up and not serving their normal food, and our backup was closed on a night they showed they would be open so we ended up at The Bank. I really like the way they do the menu. Tapas are always fun. The cocktail I had was phenomenal. The service was ok. The food was ok. The best thing were the ribs my husband ordered — tangy with a hint of crispness around the edges. The street corn could have been fabulous (the flavor was good), but they either used frozen corn or boiled it forever because it was soggy. The panko cauliflower was tasty but also a little on the soggy side. I think this would be better to serve with the sauce as a dip to keep it fresh and crunchy. The sweet and sour pork was great.”

  “Staff were very friendly and helpful, Food was disappointing - chips were quite soggy, and the gnocchi was overcooked and flavourless. The tempura prawns were tasty, and friends who had the halloumi and crispy chicken really enjoyed it, I think of the dishes some were very much a hit, and some definitely a miss. Fun ambiance, but would not recommend the booth seating for a comfortable night - the floor is miles away, you get a bar to rest your feet on instead”
