    4:00 reservations and we were seated promptly. Very nicely decorated and set up restaurant. The raised tables with an unobstructed view of the lake was a pleasant surprise. Our server, Alexandria, explained the specials and made a few suggestions. We chose the fondue for our appetizer. The fondue was accompanied by a variety of dipping items. Very tasty. I ordered the grouper and my wife had the lobster with pasta. The meals were served timely. We were not rushed nor were we forgotten. An exception experience to celebrate our anniversary..

    My wife and I were celebrating our Wedding Anniversary and wanted to go somewhere special. The Banyan House has an artificial real looking Banyan Tree inside that creates a nice garden like atmosphere. We sat by the window overlooking the lake. Mayia, our server, was friendly and attentive and helped make the evening for us. The presentation of the food was outstanding and tasted excellent. We will be back.
