From the outside, the restaurant looks like it did more than 60 years ago when it was the Farmers & Mechanics Bank. The original signage is still on the building.

The interior is just as grand. The old bank lobby is now an enormous dining area with high ceilings, original millwork, and the same character the old bank had decades ago.

The upscale furnishings certainly feel like a bank, with booths offering privacy and tables allowing diners a chance to enjoy the ambiance.

For those who desire true seclusion, the restaurant also has private dining rooms that are just as beautiful as the old bank lobby.
