Two stars because the ambiance and service were good. The food, however, deserves one. Everything was over salted and the flavors clashed on every dish. Banshee tries hard to offer unique dishes, but they just don't seem to work. You won't miss anything if you skip it. read more

Exceptional cocktails and very good eclectic fare. For drinks, try The Blackest Heart if you're an Old Fashioned fan. Try the Staccatto if you want a zesty & refreshing bourbon sipper. You can't really go wrong with the fry bread as an appetizer. They other great ones but the fry bread with pepperoni butter seems to be the most consistent as they change the menu to match the seasons. The chicken cannelloni is nice, and the cobia is really good as well. My favorite current menu item is the pork ossobuco. The place is definitely going for woke and the area is sketch at night but we've had no problems and the service has been outstanding. read more

4 stars for food , service , and ambiance-I shared the fry bread mushroom toast , both delicious my entree was the trout , perfectly cooked and flavorful. I drank a fig Negroni that was also delicious we ended with apple crisp and tres leches desserts , great ,but the tres leches cake was a stand out -it was a fun lively atmosphere with good music and perfect service. we will definitely be returning ! read more

Every visit is TOP OF THE BAR, you will not be displeased! We are there for Fat Tuesday with Valentine around the corner !!!

Highly recommend this place!*** The food was amazing and our waitress was so polite and attentive. For our entree we ordered the pepperoni butter bread to share (worked out perfectly, too because we had 3 people and they put three pieces of bread per plate). For our mains, two of us ordered the Parisian Gnocchi and one the Ricotta Agnolotti. Both dishes were good, but the in-house made gnocchi was phenomenal. Definitely a must-try! Banshee also offers a fun selection of cocktails. We each tried three different ones. Don't remember the exact names, but one had horchata, another tequila and then one tasted like an orange creamsicle. read more

I had a great meal until Theo opened the garage door and it's below 50 Degrees outside. I didn't like the hostility after I told them I didn't want the door opened as I usually get cold after sitting there for two hours and paying over $200 ! They proceeded to ask me did I bring a jacket ! Plain rude and wouldn't recommend ! Sad because the vibe was great before this!super unnecessary. Theo work on your customer service! That's your tip! read more

I had heard so many good things about Banshee. I had been before but only for Banshee Late Night for tunes and cocktails. So I was so glad my bestie agreed to have her bday dinner her while in town visiting. We ordered a few dishes and decided to share. We started with the Fig Salad. It was a nice, fresh dish to start our meal. We then had the Smoked Mussels. We thought this would be a traditional mussel dish with the meat in the shell in the broth. We were wrong and were so delighted. It was shelled mussels on sourdough toast in a coconut curry sauce. We moved onto the Crab & Cheese Ravioli and Saltmine Potatoes. The ravioli was also not what we expected but holy smokes, it was so good! We could've eaten another order but the tasty taters filled us up. We left room for dessert though! We settled on the Blueberry Semifreddo. It was refreshing and light. A great end to a wonderful meal. I'd highly recommend Banshee. I love the decor, vibe, cocktails and of course, the food! I'm sure they will see me again. read more

Just moved into the area and ate here for first time, we haven't even finished out meal and I'm compelled to review them because we started with cocktails and scallops and have been amazed at the food and the service. We sat at the bar and were served by Chloe and she was attentive and wonderful! Definitely recommend this gem, and I will definitely be back. read more

You have got to be friggin kidding me. I had the corn lasagna or whatever they were calling it and it was like RUBBER. $23 Rubber. Cobia was bland, might as well have been Gorton's. Ugggggg, $200 plus down the tubes. Unreal. read more

Well, they DID poison my friend with walnuts. After explicitly stating multiple times they are allergic to *all nuts* and asking them to check with the cooks to ensure nothing we were planning to order contained nuts. They said only the orgeat had nuts. They were mistaken. Once their mouth became swollen and numb and had a stomach full of problems, suddenly they remembered that yes, the salad indeed had walnuts in it. He didn't die, but the cocktails are great. Two stars. read more

So I was "dragged" here for a family birthday. And I couldn't be more happy about that. The restaurant is on the corner with lots of available street parking available. The inside was really cute and the patio was large and spacious. So the food... It was amazing! Although it was a bit more than I would spend on a regular dinner it was totally worth the splurge. The small menu was focused and on point. The items were so flavorful. The stand out most craveable item was by far the fried bread with the pepperoni butter. The drinks were fantastic and the good ol' stand by (PBR) was in stock and cheap. So as awesome as the food was the staff might have been even better. They were super attentive and accommodating. The best example of the trip was when we needed to merge two tables on the patio. We started to get ready to move the table but the hostess said "that we were guest in her house" and took over getting the table ready before having two waiters move it. The staff visibly cares about the restaurant and that is so important. Well done Banshee! I hope to be back! read more

Go for the creative, well executed food and the hipster East Atlanta vibe. Hits on the menu we're the fry bread w pepperoni butter, carbonara, and dumplings.

I've been looking forward to trying this place since it opened. I was disappointed. There was a mix of highlights and lowlights about the experience. HIGHLIGHTS - Service was attentive but not overbearing - The mussels on toast. Omg!!! So uhhhhmazing. Y'all should make this an entree portion (lowlight, the app size was very small for the price) - Fry bread is yummy - Entree portions are a decent size - Bathroom is clean LOWLIGHTS - The best thing is the mussels and the portion size is over priced -Our waiter had terrible BO. My husband could smell him from across the table. -The cocktails. I love craft cocktails and was so jazzed to try these. None were spectacular, all were bland, nothing noteworthy. Such a disappointment. - Crab ravioli. The broth was cool but where's the crab? With all the hype surrounding this place, especially the cocktails, I was so excited to come. I was let down. Atlanta can offer better. read more

Loved the shrimp ceviche & Basil spaghetti dishes. Cocktails are delicious. Great staff and nice ambience. Love to sit at the bar both inside as well as the covered patio. read more

I would give Banshee 3.5 stars, so rounded down to 3 stars. It was really easy to get to, and although the surrounding streets were crowded, they had a fairly large parking lot in the back. It was already getting pretty full though by the time we got there for our 5 pm reservation. Service was really great. We got seated quickly and our server was really nice and knew the menu well--my fiance is vegetarian and she was quick to point out anything on the menu that he could and couldn't eat. We got fry bread appetizers and those were a 5/5! It came with the standard pepperoni butter, as well as honey butter for the vegetarian option. I honestly liked the honey butter more! Our entrees and side were where I was disappointed. We got the crispy potatoes, which were just ok, nothing really exciting or special. My fiance got the sweet corn lasagna, which was really good, and very creative, especially for a vegetarian pasta dish (I feel like many restaurants just do a mushroom or veggie pasta). However, I ordered the steak and the server recommended it to be medium, which I complied with. However, when it got to me, it was closer to well done and a little tough, which was disappointing at the price point. Dessert was a miss for us as well. We got the cornbread + milk. the cornbread was pretty hard, but the weird part was the meringue tasted bacon-y, which was off-putting. That combined with the little popcorn bits in the dessert had us questioning if we were actually having bacon bits. We have had better corn centered desserts. read more

Being a more talented person, I'm might try to write a sonnet about the Crab and Cheese Ravioli. I've been eating in restaurants around the world for over forty years and have not come across something like this dish. Each little pocket exploded with flavor. The crab added sweet and the cheese mix settled everything down. The ham broth was never salty ( a small worry before ordering) and again the corn floating in the broth added that element of sweet. Scooped up with the raw scallions, the pleasure was all encompassing. The maitake mushrooms simply added elegance where none was needed, but all was appreciated. It may have been one of the most memorable entrees I've ever had. I'd come back for this alone, but wait! There's more! The Fig Salad was great. With a beet dressing that could have used a spoon to drink, tomatoes to keep it chewy, shards of celery to add color and fabulous almond tuile for crunch, this was a brilliant salad. My only qualm with Banshee came with the dessert. While it was flavorful perfect, the semifreddo arrived frozen, unable to scoop and eat. Semifreddo is balancing act and part of that balance is proper serving temperature. Unable to guide onto a spoon can be a problematic issue. One it had started to thaw, I was able to navigate consumption. Past the trial of delivery, the flavor was great. This is a restaurant with which reckoning is demanded. You must visit this place and you should try everything. It is that good. read more

If only the food looked as good as the overly polished pictures! We've been here before, and while the food was passable then, this time it was an utter disappointment. I ordered the New York Strip again, and just like last time, they pre-sliced it before serving--why anyone thinks that's a good idea is beyond me. It was blood red--nowhere close to medium plus. IT'S ABSOLUTELY APPALLING THAT A MICHELIN BID COOK COULD LET SOMETHING SO OBVIOUSLY UNDERCOOKED LEAVE THE KITCHEN. They sent the same steak back, and of course, cooking an already sliced steak just dried it out completely. By the time I got my rubbery steak back, the potato rounds were stone cold, tasting like leftover McDonald's fries. Honestly, the whole experience was a disaster. I won't be back. read more

Came here with a large group last weekend for the first time. We were late (super late, sorry!) and they still accommodated our large group and their kitchen was about to close. The service was superb, and the restaurant has a hipster/cool vibe to it. We tried a bunch of different dishes and shared...but I didn't love the food. The menu is small, but has an interesting variety. Nothing I got made me want more...and the portions were small. Drinks were great and it's definitely a fun spot...I'd maybe make this a drink spot, but not a top choice for dinner. read more

Awesome food, awesome bartenders. Head to the back bar for a relaxed ambiance. Have been here a dozen times and always have a great meal!

Haven't been to eat yet so I can only speak on the dancing perspective. I always have such a good time. The Dj sets are awesome and the bartenders are always friendly! it's a really cool environment and I look forward to go for dinner soon! read more

I think this place was okay. I think it's expensive for what it is but I appreciate the chef creating new plates seasonally. The brazino I ordered was. little salty but still yummy. I did think the restaurant was quaint and pretty and a great place to go on a date, but don't expect to be WOWed. I would go back to give this place another try because I think it has potential. read more

Last Friday, my partner and I went out for our first real indoor date night since Covid started. (We've been living a few blocks away since December, but sadly didn't realize that this place had outdoor seating.) We sat at the bar, the food was amazing, the drinks were great and everyone that worked there was high energy and fun. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back! I recommend everything we ordered--the fry bread, the strawberry salad, the cavatelli, and the and the copia. read more

Banshee has a cute vibe, great food/drinks, and good service. If you're looking for a date night spot, this is it. My only gripe is that the wait for our food was longer than I'd expect, but when it came out, the food was fantastic. We'll definitely be coming back. read more

Banshee - Octopus Fry Bread - New American Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This is the new crown jewel for EAV! So excited to have this little gem in my neighborhood. For you old timers, they're occupying the space formally known as My Sisters Room. For those that don't know, they're on the corner of Glenwood and Gresham in East Atlanta Village. Banshee checks all the boxes for a new restaurant in ATL- beautiful, instagramable interior, ample menu with locally sourced ingredients, great cocktails with catchy names- but they're also staying true to the neighborhood and that's what I love the most. The interior is elegant but relaxed and instead of gutting the building, they incorporated the original elements, such as the brick walls, wood ceiling and the amazing original hardwood floors. The same designer that nailed the Golden Eagle also put her touch on Banshee so expect some sultry & smokey vibes with amazing AF lighting and a touch of whimsy. The cocktails are thoughtful and delicious. My partner doubled down on the Stately Hag. It's a tequila based cocktail with lemon and thyme. So good! I was feeling the sultry, smokey vibes that I mentioned before.. so I went with a red wine and then to an Old Fashioned. Hey, it was a Friday night. I can mix my alcohols! Food? Okay, so we are vegetarians with vegan tendencies and I must say that if we were vegany while dining at Banshee, we may have not been super successful. As vegetarians though, we ate quite well. We started with the butternut squash ravioli. It is served with a parmesan crisp on top and just the perfect blend of savory goodness. Yes, we ordered another round of this. It's on the smaller side so get your own. Next, we had the grilled plum salad. It was served with candied beets, gorgonzola, and cashews. This was my favorite...until I tried the curried sweet potatoes. They were curried to perfection and served with a coconut / peanut sauce of some sort. We didn't have room for dessert but I have my eyes on their salted chocolate tart for next time. The service was great. Everybody was super nice and attentive and they're already running like a well oiled machine after being open only 10 days. Lastly, they had great music. I wanted to get up and dance to some 80's jams several times. If I had ordered just one more old fashioned, I may have. Cheers and Welcome to the neighborhood, Banshee! read more

We opted on this new spot as a date night. When recommended, I was excited because of the location and the name. When we arrived around 7:30, it was pretty full. It's a very intimate and chic vibe making it perfect for a date or hangout with friends. The customer service was suburb. They work collectively as a team so everyone jumped in to ensure we had or drinks and food and to also clear our table after each course. The chef even came out and chatted with us. They are a really great team. The drink menu is very fun. Each drink we tried was absolutely delicious. We tried the Fry Bread appetizer which is a big hit with customers. For our main course, we had the Dotted Snapper and their Salt mine potatoes. Both dishes were really delicious. The snapper was extremely tender and the potatoes were soft and creamy. I plan to return and try some of their other menu options! read more

Our group arrived around 9pm on Friday night, full house, NO table or bar seats at all. We decides to go some other places in EAV (Gaja it was~) for some quick bites then coming back. Checked in again around 1030pm, the. were told the food service ended at 930pm (mmm, no one let us know previously). Anyhow, we decided still hanging out here for a bit, since its good reputation of cocktail program was the bigger reason brought us here. Then we witnessed the switching of a dinning bar into a music lounge, it turned out on weekend nights after 11pm, it gonna be a disco, we had the great DJ--Ms. Reede Lavega for an funky hippie remix of 80's dance music tonight! Of course, we loved all the cocktails ordered, my personal fav is "Keep the change you filthy animal"-- it was a perfect mix of meletti, cioccolato, Irish cream, wonder-mint, hot chocolate, marshmallow, such a wonderful holiday hot boozy drink in a cute mug. Later I tried the cherry street - "coconut porter beer" as well, it was also such a delicious gem! Thanks to the booze and the hip music, we def had tones of fun (funny dancing) on Friday night. We left with tones of lol, it was a good time. Thus, we made the reservation for Sunday brunch immediately. Will come back to give more comments on the food later, xoxo.~ read more

Enjoyed our trip to Banshee but not sure if we'd go back again. Would really be a 3.5* if i could do that. Our cocktails were fantastic and definitely the highlight, and I'm sure in non-COVID times it's a great place to go get drinks. All of the food had a very Asian flare, which if you love could be great, but it was a blend that felt halfway and a bit lost, especially at the price point. Great atmosphere and drinks, but the food didn't quite meet our expectations. read more

Service at outdoor bar was fantastic. Bartender was amazing. Fried bread was good. Tagliatelle pasta was good but just a tad too sweet for me, if not for the sweetness I'd have loved it. Great experience overall! read more

Had a great experience! The waiter took the time to go over all the aspects of the menu and was able to give recommendations for starters, mains and drinks to match what we ordered. Favorite started was the fry bread and pepperoni butter (I think that one is a staple and always on the menu, as the menu is ever changing!) There were 4 of us and I'd say each of the starters were perfect size for 2 to share. Mains were also delicious! We each ordered something different and everyone was highly impressed with their dish. Would definitely recommend checking this place out! read more

Pre-covid, we legit came back every weekend for 3 weeks just to have the fry bread with pepperoni butter. Holy moly, I can almost taste it now. Once things go back to normal, (and if you don't have a reservation) definitely grab a spot at the bar with your fav gal or guy and work your way through their cocktail menu (or be like me and rotate whatever bubbly they have). Super sexy vibes and fun, lively music to make it a memorable night. read more

Wish I could give it 4.5. Staff was friendly, enthusiastic, and attentive. The venue is beautiful. We sat in the back room which I think is the solarium. Lovely especially with the garage windows open save the occasional waft of cigarette smoke from the deck. Energy is excellent as it feels like you're in EAV but..elevated. Our server, Theodora, was as sweet as their outfit was enviable. The speed of service was prompt with food if not a tad slow on cocktails. The drinks were delicious. Ultimately the menu was a tad limiting but everything we had was tasty. The fry bread was a nice salty intro and the prawns were delicious but messy. Nice touch that they bring you a warm towelette though. Important caveat** we didn't try any of the pasta dishes which is most of the menu. We split the lamb with the peas and strawberry. The dish was unique and inspired but also may not be for everyone. We paired it with the asparagus but the menu was calling for a more starchy side option or a salad. Love an option for a middle course. Altogether a lovely meal with great service. The cocktails are not to be forgotten. The drink menu is one that will challenge the more classic drinker but if you're perhaps not so adventurous (which is fine) I have no doubt they can whip up anything. Altogether a positive experience in a venue that feels like a hidden gem. Would love to see what they could do with other non-pasta entrees. Will definitely go back to try menu variations. read more

Incredible service, food and drinks. The onion ring with creamed corn was a huge hit for us!
