    Slow service as waitress was asked to cover tables across the restaurant not in same location. Food was cold and expensive. A shame as this was a good restaurant in the summer but not busy last night so suspect we are not alone in our feelings

    We went to The Bangan House for New Year’s Eve. We have never been there before and the restaurant is beautiful. The service was five star and the food was delicious. I definitely will be going back there again and soon.

    Food was excellent. Very flavorful. We loved the duck taco appetizers and the short ribs were flavorful and cooked well. The service was not the best. Seemed understaffed. We waited about 10 minutes to be seated despite having a reservation. The waitress was not attentive to our table. She did not clean the table after appetizers we waited quite a while to get our meal. Some tables were left uncleaned around us while we were leaving. My husband also said the “acoustics” needed to be fixed. The kitchen noise was heard in some parts of a restaurant.

    First dinner experience went well. Good service at 4:30 appointment. Lobster fritters, dinner bread, cocktails, rigatoni and pot roast,with lemon pound cake for dessert. All good portion size. Took ample leftovers home. Will return to choose other items.
