    Banyans is truly a craft kitchen. You are definitely getting a unique and flavorful meal. I felt the drink prices were reasonable. The food was a fair value for what you get. Some portions were on the smaller side for the price (kalua pork hash and egg). The chicken and malasada was quite large. When you go out to eat you want to enjoy something different that you wouldn't make at home. Banyans offers this. Our waitserver was polite, efficient and professional. Service time was satisfactory. The decor is nice. The music, while a nice touch, was a bit loud. We look forward to returning to b try their other offerings.

    Ambiance is lovely: nice imitation banyan tree in dining room. Took 45 minutes to receive two very small street tostadas and four fried mushrooms. Flavors were fine. Served on rectangular black trays does not enhance appearance. Kitchen out of two items at 11:30 am opening. There were so many flies buzzing around the table, it was extremely unpleasant. The server even commented saying that “ they are working on that.”

    We had a wonderful time celebrating a birthday lunch! The overall experience was great - both the food and service were excellent. Our only concern was the flies, as the restaurant keeps the front door open, and we found ourselves constantly swatting them away. A simple solution, like table fans, could help with this. Other than that, everything was fantastic, and we’ll definitely be back!

    Tasty food and lively environment. Went for the Sunday Brunch and the chicken thighs were great. Chef came out to greet us and even took pics. Great experience, would definitely recommend.
