    The food was absolutely fantastic. Even my meat n potatoes bf loved everything I ordered. He also ordered the safe meatballs, which were very tasty. We had the fish tacos, delish and generous, the meatloaf sliders, the taking tacos which were todiefor! Then we added the corndog style lobster and wow what a treat. Finished with the tres leche cornbread and it was great because the cornbread style cut the sweetness down to a fresh bite. I loved everything about the food and ambience.

    The service was unbelievably friendly, yet professional. Food was excellent and they sat us early. Our wait person took the time to explain how happy hour works, the menu, especially as we were ordering, she stopped to tell us various details about what we were ordering. The musician was excellent and not overpowering. Sand some songs from my early days (and I’m almost 70). Our wait person even took care of my wife as we were celebrating her birthday. It was just an overall excellent experience and we had fun.

    Excellent cocktails and details. Attention was given to the tableware, decor and menu with continuity and love. Trophy fish tacos were outstanding. The house margarita is made with Don Julio Blanco. The devil is in the details and they spent a lot of time making a devilishly wonderful restaurant. The Banyan restaurant is a sinful delight that should be shared.
