    There is a nice selection of entrees on the menu. There were 4 of us, we each got something different and each person just loved the dish they ordered. The presentation was upscale and very appetizing. It's also nice to see that the selections are all on one page with full description of each dish. I would highly recommend.

    The Banyon House is great! We have gone multiple times and today was the first time we tried brunch. It was a great brunch and the service was fabulous as it is for lunch and dinner. The brunch choices were good and there was a good variety of choices. This restaurant is a gem. If you want a quieter experience ask for the back of the restaurant or outside on the lakeside.

    Overall very good experience. Only issue was that we were seated by a window in the back of the restaurant late in the day and the sun was glaring in our eyes. There should be shades on the windows!

    The Banyan House has been our favorite since we moved here in November. Everything was good tonight, especially after we were seated in our favorite booth in the back. Lobster, pot roast and salmon entrées were great. (We do miss the Wednesday 1/2 price bottle of wine though!)

    Second visit and my husband ordered the pork chop again as it had been fabulous the first time. Last night it was under-cooked and the sauce was not quite as tasty. My rib-eye was a bit tough too. The lobster appetizer had lots of corn but did not see one piece off lobster. It was still tasty though.The other dinners (pasta) were great and the beet salad and onion soup were wonderful. We will be back!
