Opinions
This is a sizeable modern restaurant located on the Whitesands where public parking is generally available, provided it’s not flooded! There is also a small car park at the rear of the building too. The site is a former RBS branch, hence the name, but all that remains of the latter is an ATM at the entrance. Having said that, the interior will still have a familiarity about it for former customers and staff. A metal staircase has been added in the “banking hall” and this provides access to the upper balcony floor level. There are table settings on ground and upper levels (the latter providing a view towards the River Nith) and comfy looking seating areas in both areas presumably aimed at those just looking for drinks. There is also an area on the ground floor which is glass screened presumably for use by groups. The menu is based on tapas dishes however these are not typically what you would expect to see in a Spanish bar or restaurant. The “small plates” here have a different angle. At the time of our visit several specials had been added for Valentines Day and it was these which were the most tempting for us. We chose Coconut Breaded King Prawn; Confit Duck Leg; Haggis & Goats Cheese; and Onion Bhajis from the specials menu and added Beer Battered Cod and Patatas Bravas from the “Current Account” menu selection to make up six plates for £40. (The offer was 3 plates for £20). The dishes were served in two lots as they were ready and seemed to come with obligatory pea shoots. The King Prawn dish consisted of one giant coconut battered prawn with a mango lime & chilli salsa and citrus dressed leaves. The batter was a bit heavy for our liking. My wife is not a huge fan of duck so I had most of that served with shiitake mushrooms and crispy shallots - it was okay. The haggis & goats cheese (with Irn Bru marmalade) was tasty enough, as were the Onion Bhajis with pakora sauce. The only recognizable Spanish dish - patatas bravas - was not good. Our favourite of the bunch was the cod which came along with a light batter, two triple cooked chips and a very nice minted pea puree. This was also the hottest of the plates served, some others were just "warm". For dessert we both had Cinnamon Churros with a white chocolate & hazelnut sauce and vanilla icecream (£5 each). Nice enough but no noticeable taste of cinnamon in our experience. Service was okay - more functional than naturally friendly. The restaurant's upstairs area was not being used at the time and the numbers downstairs were only sufficient to provide a little atmosphere. The premises were not comfortably warm for dining, in particular towards the end of lunchtime service. A visit to the toilets upstairs gave us an opportunity to see the view you would have if dining or sitting on the upper level which would have probably have been better. A cubicle in the gents toilets required contortionist abilities to get in and out of it such was the tight space when opening the door. The toilets were otherwise well maintained. Overall, I imagine it is probably better to visit on a busy evening for some ambiance with food and drinks combined. Our total bill came to just under £54 for two when soft drinks were added - Diet Coke £2.10 and a lemonade £1.80.

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 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.

All of the food is gluten free, literally everything! The owner has coeliac disease, and its so amazing to find somewhere that we're catered for, especially in a small town. There was a good amount of vegetarian and vegan options on the tapas menus too, so it's great for a lot of diets. The food was delicious too, and decent sized portions for tapas. We got 4 each and it was too much, 3 each would be better. The service was pretty fast, staff were friendly and knowledgeable about allergens. There is regular beer on the menu as well as gluten free drinks, so just make sure you order the right one. I imagine it gets busy on a weekend, as it was busy on a week night, so bear that in mind. I'll definitely be returning here!

Went 30th December for a meal with a friend. Was recommended by a friend, never been before. Very good service at front desk. Quickly shown to table. Ordered 6 tapas. Butter chicken and the nachos were really nice as were the king prawns. Chilli honey ribs and the loaded philly steak fries were ok. The potato bravas was unpleasant. The potatoes ẁere chewy not crispy. My friend ordered a Mojito and couldn't taste any alcohol in it at. I ordered a Bloody Mary. All I could tate was pepper and celery with a hint of tomato. Far to much ice in it. Will be a long time till I go again

I had been coming here regularly when visiting family at home. Prior to this last visit food had been excellent as had the service. However the visit today had slow service, food was not great (bland, dry and appeared reheated). Drink (soft) was lemonade from a 1 litre bottle which had already been open. Not available on draft. This is extremely disappoint given prices of soft drinks. I compare these prices with the city I live in and would not rush back here. There was also a kitchen bin sitting with the lid open next to tables in the restaurant which were being served food. The staff who did serve us were friendly.

Disappointed second visit We visited last Saturday and was blown away. Food good and cocktails were definitely different with bubbling ones and smoked ones being served. As we go home tomorrow we decided to book our last night meal at the Bank and I was really disappointed. We had a table booked for 5 and tried the door at a few minutes pass to find the door locked and one of the staff give us a glaring stare as if how dare you try and open the door at a few minutes past 5 when they open at 5! The restaurant was cold and unwelcoming. I ordered two bubbling cocktails neither of them were bubbling. I ordered the scallops as they were so nice last weekend. They were 1/4 the size they were last Saturday and over cooked as was the black pudding and the whole dish half the size we were given last week. I just felt the staff really couldn’t be bothered tonight. The place was heaving last Saturday and the cocktails, meal and service was impeccable. Tonight wasn’t anywhere as busy but the whole meal was a disappointment

The food was amazing and all gluten. Its a tapas style menu but with lots of different types of food. It was lovely as a coeliac to have so much choice and feel safe knowing the whole menu is gluten free. However, the service wasn't very good. It was really slow and the staff were inattentive. More of a bar with food on the side type place so maybe best to visit at a lunchtime or weekday whe its maybe quieter if visiting for food.

Local friends took us for an early dinner before a major sporting event involving their team and mine aka Queen of the South v Motherwell, we made it easy by choosing from the special midweek tapas menu and just having one of each tapas. Food came out in stages, nicely presented, good fresh flavours and hot. Good selection of drinks with draught beers about £2 a pint less than what we`re used to..... Staff were all friendly and smart and took a pride in their job Dumfries you`re lucky to have this on your doorstep.

I’ve been here a lot as it’s my favourite place to eat in Dumfries. You can have a mixture of food like a pick n mix in a sweetie shop which I love, the food is always of a top quality, you never have to wait to long to be served or receive your food and the staff, although many of them are young, are very polite and professional so have obviously been well trained. The choice of food is extensive and the menu changes just enough that you never get bored going there, keep up the great work

We were down in Dumfries for a couple of days and found “The Bank” online. Arrived early and the staff told us it was no problem and got us seated. The staff are genuinely superb! So attentive, polite and made great recommendations. I’d never had scallops but the young woman with the blonde hair gave us great advice so we tried them. All of the food was fantastic too! Really generous portions. I’m a big eater but 3 dishes was more than enough; you can add extra dishes at any time. If I’m back this way I’d definitely return.

Excellent meal and selection of drinks. The menus are good value and the service was first class. We each chose from the two different menus and shared our selections for a very tasty tapas meal. The beer battered cod was delicious, the chicken in caramel sauce was mouthwatering and the three vegetable choices, plus mushrooms were very enjoyable. The tempura batter was delightful. Light and easy to eat. Finished off with wine, alcohol free beer and white chocolate crème brûlée. Thanks, Kerry and her colleagues for making sure it was a meal to remember.

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

Went out for sisters birthday dinner, got our mains and they tasted good, would have been a good review if we'd have left right after dinner. Comes to desert, 1 out of 5 of us ordered peppermint mousse, 2 raspberry cheesecakes, 1 blondie and I got the churros, the peppermint mousse comes first; all looks good. Blondie and cheesecakes come next, all "garnished," with aero crumbs, odd choice. My partner and the rest of us at the table don’t like peppermint - we didn't ask for peppermint, it was on every desert? If it's not on the menu and wasn't asked for, don’t add it. If you're unsure, your waitress should ask, don't assume. I work in the hospitality industry and if we ever forget to ask, we're sent to ask. We asked if there's anyway to get new deserts as hadn't asked for the aero crumbs. Got new cheesecakes and churros, my partner has anxiety and didn't feel comfortable complaining so she sucked it up, my churros come and i flip them over, not fresh, melted aero on the other side, obviously just been moved to another plate, if they hadn't done the oddly paired, unasked for garnish there wouldn't have been an issue. Can’t say I'm pleased, the waitress we had dealt with it professionally and was great all night, hats off to her. I know it won't make much of a difference but I was left with a bitter taste in my mouth but I'm aware this might have just been a bad night for the kitchen, I would probably give this place another chance bc I can’t base a restaurant off of just one night

Three and a half stars, in reality. Pleasant food, but three tapas definitely not enough for a teenage boy. Service was a bit rushed (empty plates were removed while I was still eating) despite not being crowded.

Oh my goodness, when you need a gluten and dairy free diet and you want to eat out you get used to having ‘the thing’ on the menus that is suitable. The Bank has a fully gluten-free menu and having a large selection that is also dairy free was AMAZING. All that and the food was delicious too 😀. The service was friendly and efficient and the location is great. Food and drinks are quite expensive but I guess good food and service comes at that price. Look forward to my next visit.

Excellent service and a high standard of unusual cuisine in a pleasant atmosphere. My son, who is a bit of a connoisseur, said that the fillet steak he had was the best in a long time.

A beautiful setting and very peaceful. The food is excellent and the dining room not too large. Sadly on the day we went the staff were trying to serve the Barbeque area and the dining room which mean
