    I ordered the Cesar salad as and the lobster pasta. The salad was disappointing. It has little to no dressing and the grilled Romaine lettuce gave it a bitter taste. The lobster pasta definitely could have used seasoning. And the sauce was like water. It didn't stick to the pasta because of how watery it was. My husband ordered the grouper which was very tasty.

    This was our first visit and were not disappointed. The food was so good! I had the Short Rib, very good! My husband wanted the Halibut but they ran out so he asked if he could substitute the Grouper with all the Halibut fixings and they accommodated his request. Our server Mike was awesome, really nice man. We ordered martinis dry and the bartender came to our table to ensure she made our drinks the way we wanted ( I guess there are different ways to make a dry martini! haha) All in all, I highly recommend The Banyan House!!

    We enjoyed The Banyan House. I had the halibut that was good and came with yummy lobster fritters. My husband really enjoyed his ribeye. They served 4 different rolls and they were warm! Great dinner.
