    First timers. love the atmosphere. Our server, Kelly was excellent. In fact, the entire staff were friendly and fun. The drinks were pretty good but like everywhere else they are way overpriced. One at the table really enjoyed the French onion soup very much. There was a good amount of lobster in the linguine with lobster but overall, it was a little bland. Another at the table really enjoyed the pot roast and all of the sides were very good -cooked well and very tasty .Two at the table had the ribeye dinners one was fatty and the other was thin. we found it to be pricey considering the above. So, 4 stars it is

    Our first visit to Banyan House did not disappoint. We had a 6:45pm reservation and upon our arrival we were greeted and seated within 5-minutes. Our server was excellent and very knowledgeable about the menu and wine pairing for our various dishes. The food was really good and was served with very nice presentations. We will definitely be back.
