   I’m not quite sure how to rate this restaurant. The food was solid, but just lacking any wow. We had the lobster corn dogs (which the server highly recommended) and they were good. But not quite spectacular. The ceviche was ok and the dips were all good. Just nothing out of the ordinary. The prices are that of an elegant restaurant but this is a very very loud, casual restaurant with a high price tag. So i’ll give them a solid 4. I wouldn’t go out of my way to go here again, but it was nice to have another option in Kailua

   The food was really good, but the portions a bit small. The ox tail pot pie was so tender and tasty.

   My husband and I were greeted warmly when we arrived slightly ahead of our scheduled reservation. We enjoyed a drink at our table before our two friends joined us. The service by Lily (and other staff) were on point. We all had a nice time catching up over a delicious dinner. Thank you to the staff at Banyan’s!

   Great food and atmosphere! We loved the Maui Nui venison tataki and lamb lollipops. Also, great to see a Pimm’s cup on the drink menu. The space is beautifully redone. There was live music, which originally worried us because it can be too loud, but the music was the perfect volume to enjoy and still have conversation.

   Our go to for brunch and dinner. Their brunch is absolutely amazing, we ordered one of each main item and couldn’t decide what we loved the most. Everything was so delicious, I’m still craving the Gouda grits and kalua pork hash! For dinner we always over order apps and salads since you can’t go wrong with their cheese board, the various dips (go straight for the dip trio you won’t be disappointed!) ceviche, and bravas. Beet salad and Caesar are amazing, followed by the oxtail and lamb. Don’t pass on the smores either, perfect ending to a great meal.

    Enjoyed the atmosphere and great service. We ordered lots off the menu but I really enjoyed the vegetables, Caesar salad , and potatoes! We ordered three dips that were all delicious—and served in a large platter with lots to share and enjoy. We ordered the Somets for dessert and the homemade marshmallows were toasted by us at the table! Yum yum yum
