    Easter buffet was cold. Not hot. Shrimp was undercooked. Desert station was not fully stocked. Mandatory 20% gratuity does not seem acceptable on a buffet meal.

    Overall all things need improvement for the money we spent. The restaurant was not equipped to handle this crowd as we all wanted water and were told they didn’t have enough glasses so we got one. They add on $35 gratuity (3 guests) when all our server did was bring three drinks and remove our plates. Some of the food was excellent while some was out of a package(donuts). The floor where the brunch was served was filthy. The bathrooms had no paper towels. I expect that at places like Applebees but our meal didn’t cost what Applebee’s charge so it was overrated for sure. I’m not sure why being above average is so hard to obtain. We won’t go back.

    As you step into Banyan House, you're greeted by a warm and welcoming ambiance. The decor is a lovely blend of coastal chic with rustic elements, featuring wooden accents and soft lighting that create a relaxed yet sophisticated vibe. Whether you're dining indoors or on the outdoor patio, the atmosphere sets the perfect backdrop for a leisurely meal.
