    Wonderful decor and vibe. Excellent service and the live music was a special treat. All of our dishes were full of flavor and delicious esp the lobster corndog with gravy.

    It’s a beautiful setting, the service was great, the food was delicious and unusual. It really was a great place to have brunch on a Sunday.

    Listen folks, I almost hate to write this review because I love that this is the best brunch spot in Kailua and never has a wait. BUT, the AMAZ-ING food, service, and beverage selection deserves to have their glories sung from the tops of the Ko’olaus! The ambiance is incredible and the dishes are crafted with genius and love. You can literally taste the passion in this food. Apparently the chef was a winning contestant on Chopped, is a former private chef in Atlanta (or maybe it was Houston or San Antonio?), but anyway, WOW. Highly, highly recommend the Kalua pork hash (with sunny side egg vs. scrambled) and the Hot Honey Chicken with Leonard’s malasadas. The mimosa flight feature fresh tropical juices, I LOVE the breakfast margaritas, and my friend’s Bloody Mary looked exquisite…and I don’t even like Bloody Mary’s. PLEASE, PLEASE support this foodie paradise!

    Had a great evening at Banyans. A friend and I drove over from town, parked in the nearby municipal lot and shared several items: the Caesar salad, the lobster "corndogs" and the fish tacos. All were excellent and we went away full. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was energetic. Live music kept the conversation loud. I'd recommend Banyans to anyone and hope to go back soon.

    Brunch at Banyans exceeded our expectations!! Service was top notch! Great recommendations from our server. We had the vegan avocado smash tostadas with eggs and chorizo and the bread pudding French toast. Both were visually appealing and delicious!!! We will definitely be back. So much more to try on the menu.
