Grilled cheese was dry. Food took forever to get there and poor waitress couldn't get refills fast enough

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.

I don’t know if it’s because they were busy but we waited 1/2 hour for our wine, then told that are appetizers choice was out. Since we waited so long we just went ahead and ordered dinner. Meanwhile another server came to us with a nice plate of bread. The server we had was horrible was embarrassingly inept and conversation with him annoying. We have been to the Banyan before and always had a good meal. Not this time. The chicken was dry and the pasta overcooked. I’m not sure if the service was the issue for everything being bad but this time we did not enjoy ourselves
