Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Montchanin

An A+ treat for our first Thanksgiving ‘out’ at a restaurant! We always look forward to Columbus Inn’s consistently excellent food prep & creative use of fresh ingredients. Flavor surprises abounded in each & every course of this traditional family style Thanksgiving. Kudos to the owner, chef & servers (Cassidy was excellent), for combining the warmth & traditions of a family Thanksgiving meal with wonderfully-flavored upgrades to well-known dishes.(green bean casserole, butternut squash soup). To cap it off, the holiday tradition of ‘taking home leftovers’ was an extra little surprise, enabled by all the generous family style portions during our meal! Thank-you!

Fast,friendly and 100% accurate service.We got seated right away and had our food within the next 15 mins.we got there at 7 and was done our food by 7:23😂Waiter was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.I liked that he kept checking in with us because everytime we usually go out we usually get left for a while and have to flag someone down.This was the first place we've been to that we didn't have to do that at all.Drinks was good too and they have a bar set up in the middle of the restaurant which I found pretty unique.Definitely recommend and will be coming here again.

It had been about 8 years since I had been to Banks. The oyster selection is decent. The Brussels sprout salad, clams casino and Lobster in the Nude were great. The only downside was the clam chowder, that was all potatoes and no clams.

This was our first time visiting but it won't be the last. There are definitely some interesting offerings on the menu. We went with one of the hostess' recommendations and tried the grilled octopus appetizer. It was delicious and took me back to Rome where I last had grilled octopus. Highly recommend!

First time here but it won’t be the last. Food was excellent and the service outstanding. A little noisy but could still carry on a conversation at a table of four.
