    From the moment we were seated by the general manager Stacey, to our booth with the beautiful view of the lake, our wonderful waitress Katie, and our delicious cocktails & meals we couldn’t ask for more. Definitely will be going back soon!

    It’s so gross to have to wipe crumbs off the seat before you sit down, or sweep a half eaten piece of carrot from under your seat before your group sits down. The bathrooms need cleaning. It’s a shame because the food is excellent but the place is empty for a reason.

    The Banyon House never disappoints. Their staff is always friendly with awesome service. Their menu choices have always been delicious from the salads to the entrees and the must have truffle french fries. The patio dining overlooking the lake is beautiful and relaxing.

    4:00 reservations and we were seated promptly. Very nicely decorated and set up restaurant. The raised tables with an unobstructed view of the lake was a pleasant surprise. Our server, Alexandria, explained the specials and made a few suggestions. We chose the fondue for our appetizer. The fondue was accompanied by a variety of dipping items. Very tasty. I ordered the grouper and my wife had the lobster with pasta. The meals were served timely. We were not rushed nor were we forgotten. An exception experience to celebrate our anniversary..
