   The place is beautiful, view of the lake is amazing, staff was great. For the price, save your money and go eat at Villani. My wife and I both had a bottle of win, French onion soup which was good and we both had the filet with potato au gratin and asparagus. You got a 7 ounce filet at best. Which was barely seasoned if not at all. 3 small white asparagus, and a small circle of potatoes. We both left still hungry. Probably won’t go back again until they change the portions and season their food. The place is beautiful, folks were nice but for the $200 bill I would have been better off at longhorn. Not to say their other food isn’t good but if you’re going for steak or a good value restaurant. This isn’t it.

   We had a fantastic meal. We were a party of 4 and every appetizer was delicious and a generous portion, and we didn't get to the main entrees. The dishes were exceptional and plated perfectly. Service was exceptional and the atmosphere overlooking the lake topped the evening off. I highly recommend the Banyon House, and we will definitely go back to try their other dishes they offer.

   Truly terrific place. Right on a scenic lake with a beautiful view. The food was pretty interesting and delicious. Our server was dead on it!! Katlan was very attentive and obviously well trained. I had the charred Caesar and that was pretty unique. Loved it. Also had the ribeye. The Gruyère Mac and cheese was decadent. Hubby had the pork chops and loved it. Definitely food as art with the presentation. Most definitely will be going back.

   Had Sunday Brumch. The food was excellent with a really nice choice of different foods. The only thing that I thought was Really odd was that they do not serve decaf coffee. My friend wanted some and the waiter just replied that not enough people drink it. I can understand that if it’s a dinner service but I’ve worked enough in restaurants to know that for breakfast & brunch you can make a pot of decaf. So what if only 1/2 pot gets drunk. The staff was so nice and friendly

   Always greeted with friendly staff who do their best to seat you at your choice inside or outside. Prompt servers, excellent beverage service, food presentation is upscale and delicious. All four in our party were very pleased.
