We hosted our friends at Banyan Tree, overriding our concern after a less than stellar experience late last year. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the staff and kitchen provided an experience that was wonderful - as they always had in the past. Our friends have decided that this dining experience was the best they have had so far and we look forward to dining at Banyan Tree for their excellence in the future!

The our server wasn’t attentive and actually recited incorrect information for the specials. We had to call her down several times for requests and/or questions. She seemed overwhelmed. This is our first time staying at this resort and wanted our first dinner to be more memorable because we are celebrating pour baby moon but she didn’t care & didn’t address why we were even there. The food was decent- lobster gnocchi & the Australian wagyu prime rib. Overall, a disappointing experience for such a cute restaurant!

Truly one of the most incredible meals we have ever had. We followed the sage advice of our server and experienced a fabulous meal. Try the whole fish - it could feed 6 people (or in our case the leftovers will feed 2 people for another few days). Just go for it. It is such a fabulous restaurant.

We ordered the whole fish and the flavors were excellent. The fish was large and enough for 4 people (only two of us) so we brought the rest home and made tacos with it, delicious. service was excellent and you cannot beat the view. go before sunset otherwise it is completely dark.
