                                                  Food overpriced. Selection OK. Food quality average. Service was poor. Wait too long between courses, multiple waiters who each apparently thought the others were doing their jobs. 15 minutes after last course had to go to hostess to get bill. A bad experience all around.

                                                  I very rarely, if ever, rate a restaurant 5 stars. However, although on the expensive side, the food, wine and service at Bang were all exceptional. By way of example, the chicken main course was originally served in 3 ways, tastefully seasoned and extremely filling, despite the moderate looking portion. Wine by the glass was of a decent size, reasonably priced and high quality; rarely the case for open wine. Thank you for the attentive service. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

                                                  Bang restaurant was booked on a friend's recommendation. Oh my gosh, it did not disappoint. The staff were superb, friendly but not over friendly. Very knowledgeable of the food they were serving and no rushing. The food was delicious, mushroom tarts, I want more. I had duck for the main, and it didn't disappoint. Their homemade bread, well you could just have a plate of that on its own. We will certainly return. Thank you for a lovely evening.
