    Awful. My wife and I have been 5 times to the Banyan House. 2/5 have been poor experiences. My $47 ribeye was overcooked, twice. We also had reservations but were sat in the bar section. Why did I make a reservation to sit in the bar? I don’t think we’ll be back.

    Kaitlyn was our server and she was a delight. Food and cocktails were excellent. We tried several appetizers, soup, and two highly recommended main courses. Look forward to our next visit to try many other things that sound delicious.

    Blue Crab appetizer not very flavorful. Entrees were good but not great. Server recommended Creme Brule for dessert and it arrived charred and almost like a paste. With the exception of the dessert suggestion, service was very good. Server removed it from bill no questions asked, however, it was awful especially for a recommended item. Nice atmosphere but overall low value for the $$$

    Service staff was helpful, and friendly. Limited menu with no specials. Asked for olive oil instead of butter with the beautiful selections of bread they had and was told that wasn’t impossible. My suggestion, offer the customer oil, butter or both.
