Our first visit to Banyan House did not disappoint. We had a 6:45pm reservation and upon our arrival we were greeted and seated within 5-minutes. Our server was excellent and very knowledgeable about the menu and wine pairing for our various dishes. The food was really good and was served with very nice presentations. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful and lively interior. We were seated promptly and service was excellent and very attentive. The meatballs were very tasty but lukewarm. My son had the Gnocchi and really enjoyed it. I had the pork chop. It was unfortunately overcooked. The Brussel Sprouts and peppers were good. I would definitely give this place another try.
