Easy parking. Beautiful views. Reservations are easy on open table but it seems a bit ridiculous that they'll charge $50 per person (!!) if you cancel with 2 days. This seemed like a normal restaurant. I'd only expect that for some of those fancy $400 Michelin star places. We had our choice of seats and the host was very accommodating to us initially wanting a booth but then moving to a quieter , cozy table by the windows. Our server came immediately and brought us waters. The server was throughout very sweet but not terribly knowledgeable. Although she checked in frequently, the waters were never refilled and I didn't notice until the end of the meal when I wish I'd had another glass of water. Also, the menu is confusing and in several places doesn't explain whether there are sides. We asked and she said no, they don't come with sides. So two people with me ordered the lobster for $69 and then also ordered a side of fries. But when their entrees arrived, they did come with potatoes and green beans. We assume the server meant they didn't come with choice of fries. But still. She seemed quite green. We all enjoyed the thick sliced, soft bread and butter for the table. I ordered two oysters which were delicious. And the kale salad was a feast of flavors and textures. Not too much kale and quite small overall, but the lemony pickled flavors were lovely. A perfect starter. I had the pasta and clams but forgot to say I didn't want the red pepper so it was too spicy for me. That was my error. But the meal was large and I couldn't finish it all - I was pleased with portion size. It was also delicious - good clams and not creamy - just light and fresh. We didn't have dessert. Overall a good meal and I'd recommend it. Service is the only knocked down star. Server tried hard but just needed better training.

I went to Banks due to a friend's recommendation, and the quality of the food was the saving grace. The restaurant itself is really pretty and has an amazing view of the river. I sat on the patio and was able to enjoy the evening's sunset with a meal. I ordered 4 oysters, seafood nachos, and the branzino. The oysters were pricey, which is why I only ordered 4. I was met with disappointment when they came out, since they were super tiny oysters and for the price they were charging, it was not worth trying. The nachos were okay, but there was also a mix with chicken in them, and they ultimately did not end up sitting well after a few minutes and the food came out somewhat cold, so the cheese was already hardening. The branzino was the best part of the meal. The fish was cooked perfectly and fell off the bone. Pairing this with fresh pickled veggies on the side, saved the entire experience. I think they have a great selection of items on their menu, but only a few stand out. This is one of the better restaurants in Wilmington that can accommodate for many as well. Their server was somewhat attentive, and maybe just forgot about me outside, since there weren't may sitting outside. The wait for food was about half an hour, and the oyster appetizer also came out with the entrees. So, it wasn't the best way to have a meal, or it's not what I'm use to. Anyway, I think it's worth trying. Maybe they had an off day!

Unfortunately overrated . Been wanting to try Banks for years since moving for the riverfront but never had a reason that justified a 'fancy dinner'. We went to Banks after a major life milestone to celebrate. The service was not amazing: water only refilled once, forgot our sodas, no water or silverware until after our food came out etc.. The food was average it really wasn't anything special. We ordered the fried calamari appetizer and it was probably a 75/25 split with a majority of the serving being fried jalapeños rather than calamari. Everything we ordered was okay but flavor and presentation were not up to par for the price. Then when asked for the check, our server asked if we wanted to see a dessert menu. We declined and just asked for an our food to be boxed up and the check. He then returned with the boxed food and dessert menus and said he'd 'love for us to order a dessert so we could celebrate with you' then he started explaining the dessert options and we said 'oh aw okay thank you' and he said he'd give us a minute, when he came back we ordered a piece of the lemon tart to split, they put a candle it in when they brought it and offered to take a photo of us which was thoughtful and the dessert was pretty good! Then we got the bill and realized they charged us for the dessert. Obviously we were wrong to assume it was free, it was just presented in a way that seemed like it was on house since we were clearly celebrating. Overall food was fine, service was eh, but the location right on the water was gorgeous. Probably won't be back unfortunately.

As other reviews have mentioned, you're chiefly paying for the view and location here. And indeed, the river view is lovely particularly if you get a patio table as we did. My wife had a salmon entree which was paired with a small but flavorful tomato confit side. I opted for the hamburger, in part because I wasn't feeling seafood and in part because it was one of the cheaper lunch items. Both were satisfying but unremarkable. Service was pleasant enough. Would return for drinks and appetizers and view.

On the advice of some coworkers, we chose Banks for date night and couldn't be happier. For a Thursday night, we were surprised to see a fairly empty dining room but ended up in an oversized corner booth and couldn't complain at our luck. We specifically wanted to explore the seafood offering and had a terrific guide through the options with our server (wish we remembered his name, very attentive and great recs throughout!). We ordered 1/2 dozen fresh oysters to start (some local, some from the west coast) and the champagne mignonette pairing was perfect. The shrimp cocktail is ordered by the number of shrimp you want to catch because they are HUGE with a side of house made cocktail sauce. Next we shared the Red Snapper ceviche - great acid balance. Onto the Mussels as an entree (it's large enough) - make sure to get extra bread to mop up the exquisite sauce. We wrapped a delicious meal with (house made!) desserts - a Key lime Charlotte and Blood Orange cheesecake - WOW on both counts. Overall a great pick - perfectly attentive staff, good service and a comfortable & relaxed atmosphere for a near fine dining experience.

I enjoy stopping for an impromptu afternoon cocktail and snack. Today my criteria was an outdoor area, preferably with a view. We came upon Banks Seafood that fit the bill, sitting on their covered patio adjacent to the Christina River. I vacillated over a cool sounding cherry vanilla cola bourbon -- I probably should have tried it -- but ended up with my typical ho-hum cab. (I actually enjoyed it!) We shared an order of seafood nachos, which photographs horribly, but tasted okay. I didn't know what to expect, and truthfully, I didn't love it. But you might! What made the stop worthwhile besides the setting, was Ryan, our server. Friendly, funny and on the ball.

We wanted a nice seafood dinner, and we had enjoyed this location in the past. Not so much this time. We arrived about 6:30 pm on a wednesday evening, and the place was half empty. Never a good sign. We got a seat outside, which is fun because you get a good view of the Christiana River. Then we waited. Eventually a server arrived to give us menus and take drink orders. Then we waited. And waited. She eventually came back and said our drinks would be coming. Better than them not coming, I guess. How hard is a glass of chardonnay and a spiked lemonaide? We had to ask to be able to order food. Now this is a seafood place, on the east coast, only about 100 miles from the ocean, so I foolishly expected local fish to be on the menu. Nope. The options were branzino, swordfish, mahi mahi, tuna and salmon. All from places at least 1000 miles away. Would flounder have been hard? I am sure you can guess the food took an excrutiating amount of time to come and was uninspiring. And the bill was $120 with tip. I probably would give it 2.5 stars, but my wife liked her swordfish, and reminded me it came from Massachusetts (only 500 miles away.) So this is a very reluctant 3 stars. Sorry but I will attempt not to return.

Mom's birthday. She had the cornmeal encrusted trout. I had the whole bronzino. My sister had the salmon and my Dayi had the rockfish. For starters we had oysters, clams casino, calamari and the seafood nachos for two for my nephew and his wife. Everything was great. The Parmesan truffle fries are a standout. My nephews wife had the lobster salad and she loved it. My other nephew had the surf and turf and said it was stellar. I think the bar got overwhelmed since drinks and wine too and ling time to come out. But when they did they were very well crafted and poured. I had the cheese cake and it was very good as well. The only complaint was my mother's Irish coffee came out cold. I will come back, there are just too many food things on the menu.

Been here a few times for lunch and will definitely keep returning when in the neighborhood. Staff is friendly and attentive, the restaurant has a great "old" seaside vibe with a great view of the river. For this lunch I grabbed a Maryland Crab soup and paired it with the shaved Brussel Sprout salad and a Maker's Mark Old Fashioned. Delicious and mostly healthy.
