I took my wife for Valentine’s Day, we had the filet mignon and 2 glasses of red wine. It was an experience we will remember forever, the dining area was beautiful and the ambiance was marvelous. The food and wine was to die for, I can’t recommend this restaurant enough

We had an incredible dining experience at The Banyan House! Our evening started at the bar with the signature Banyan Cosmo, which was not only delicious but also came with a fun twist—a bubble on top which was an amazing presentation. It was a perfect way to kick off our celebration for a friend’s birthday. For dinner, we enjoyed the ribeye, short rib, and grouper, and each dish was cooked to perfection. The flavors were rich, the portions generous, and the presentation top-notch. The menu offers excellent choices, ensuring something for everyone. A special shout-out goes to Cem, our server, whose exceptional attention to detail and warm personality made our celebration even more memorable. Cem was attentive without being intrusive, offering great recommendations and ensuring that our every need was met with a smile. The patio was airy and provided the perfect ambiance for a relaxed yet elegant dining experience. The atmosphere, combined with attentive service, made the night even more special. Overall, The Banyan House truly exceeded our expectations in every way. Fantastic food, great drinks, and a beautiful setting—highly recommend! We’ll definitely be back.

Servers worked as a team, explained the various dishes and were very timely and personable! Food was outstanding! Dining space was pretty small but sufficient. Only wine and beer available. Tremendous value and culinary experience!! Highly recommend if you’re looking for excellent cuisine!
