Nice little restaurant walking distance from the Port Austin State Harbor. There is bar and dining inside, however, it was a nice day so we opted for patio seating. The service and food were good. Ordered apps and beverages. Would definitely stop by again.

The service was really good. The restaurant was clean and had an overall good vibe atmosphere. The food was delicious. The clam chowder was amazing with a hint of dill, what a unique touch. The cheese curds were very flavorful. The spinach artichoke dip was good until you tasted the cheese curds, they had so much flavor they made the dip seem bland. The Maurice salad was really good, not as good as Hudson's, but close enough to bring back all those memories. The money reuben was a little light on meat. The vault sauce on the reuben was a neat twist on thousand island and had a little kick. I upgraded to the fries and it was worth it. I also had a Hurricane which was well made. We will be going back again.

My husband and I popped in for a quick bite and were very impressed. We had the street tacos, truffle mac, French onion soup, and a couple of desserts - all of which were delicious. The historic building is beautiful and I love how they incorporate old photos and local history into the decor and menu.

My friend and I were taking a day trip in the Thumb area. We saw the Bank restaurant and decided to grab a bite of food. The service was great but it's their off season so no one else was there besides us on a Friday early afternoon. The atmosphere was unique. I loved old pictures that hung on the walls. We also went upstairs where you felt you were transported in time. The food was very delicious. We had appetizers, along with soup. I would definitely go back.

This place is by far the best place to eat between Port Huron and Port Austin. The price and the value are perfect. Plus, they're a quick walk away from Blue Moon Icre Cream, but that's a totally different review, I'll do theirs next. They have homemade Fries, potato chips, and tortilla chips. They're all really nice additions to the simple yet unique sandwich options. The Mac and Cheese looked really good, and seeing how my son was silent for more than 5 minutes (FINALLY), he also licked the bowl clean. The grilled cheese was solid, too. I had the Reuben it was awesome. Mr., my wife, my son and my cousin ate here our bill was less then 45. We all left satisfied and will return. Thank Kitchen and thank you staff. Well done.

Very cute place. Chairs are so comfortable. Fresh made soup (clam chowder!) Fries are delicious. Im impressed with all of it. You can tell the chef takes pride in his food, even croutons were fresh. Nice job

We got crab cakes and a chicken sandwich absolutely amazing. For a simple chicken sandwich it was very very good. Fresh fluffy bun tender chicken fresh veggies. Crab cakes were small but the taste made up for it. Absolutely will eat again.

“One of the best meals of my life” direct quote from my husband. Wonderful restaurant, beautifully decorated with a nod to the original bank. The drinks were great, food delicious, service friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend a visit.
