    We had an incredible dining experience at The Banyan House! Our evening started at the bar with the signature Banyan Cosmo, which was not only delicious but also came with a fun twist—a bubble on top which was an amazing presentation. It was a perfect way to kick off our celebration for a friend’s birthday. For dinner, we enjoyed the ribeye, short rib, and grouper, and each dish was cooked to perfection. The flavors were rich, the portions generous, and the presentation top-notch. The menu offers excellent choices, ensuring something for everyone. A special shout-out goes to Cem, our server, whose exceptional attention to detail and warm personality made our celebration even more memorable. Cem was attentive without being intrusive, offering great recommendations and ensuring that our every need was met with a smile. The patio was airy and provided the perfect ambiance for a relaxed yet elegant dining experience. The atmosphere, combined with attentive service, made the night even more special. Overall, The Banyan House truly exceeded our expectations in every way. Fantastic food, great drinks, and a beautiful setting—highly recommend! We’ll definitely be back.

    We had an excellent experience at Acqua Pazza. The restaurant itself is very nicely decorated in soft colors, modern, comfortable chairs and really cool lighting. The hostess greeted us right away and was very nice. We were quickly greeted by our server, Tatiana. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional, and she gave us the right amount of attention. We were a party of four (2 couples), and we each ordered something different. Three of us ordered wine by the glass, which was very good. We ordered the arancini appetizer for the table. The ingredients change daily--ours was a rice ball with spinach and artichoke hearts on a bad of whipped ricotta. There were four good sized arancini balls, and they were delicious. My husband also had the bean soup, which he said was very good. For entrees, I ordered the Branzino with risotto; my sister-in-law ordered the pistachio crusted salmon with risott; my brother ordered the short rib ragu with rigatoni; my husband ordered the spaghetti with meatballs. Our plates were nicely presented, and the quantity was plentiful without being too much. We all really liked our food--cooked perfectly and delicious. The topper was that my husband always orders spaghetti and meatballs and then states that the meatballs are not as good as mine. Well, he said that the Acqua Pazza meatballs were the best he has ever eaten outside of mine. To finish, the four of us shared a slice of limoncello cake--amazing. Great menu. We'll definitely return.

    Great place to go. We sat outside with heaters going and it was very cozy. There was live music across the street. They had a Ramon Special that was incredible. The service was great. We are looking forward to going back again.
