Can't believe I actually found the name of it because my four kids and I were thoroughly impressed with their kindness and service! My kids ordered the cheeseburger, chicken and Mac n cheese. The owner does emphasize that it is made with gouda. My kids refused to listen so two bites later... My kids loved how crunchy the fries and tater tots were! I personally think my steak salad stole the show! I could just eat the meat by itself. Delish!! We were heading to Caspersen immediately afterwards so I couldn't bring leftovers home, but I was thinking about that salad afterwards and still think about it. I wonder if it thinks about me too?? Lol The coolest part, aside from understanding owners that LOVE kids is her miniature collection of random things that are displayed in a glass case. We love all the tiny things so that was a sweet surprise! We will definitely be back and I'm bringing my leftovers home this time!

Charlotte County Girlfriends Lunch at The Banyan House…read more Our lunch yesterday, Wednesday Aug.12, 26: at The Banyan House was truly special. This was our second time gathering there with our Charlotte County Girlfriends, and once again, it was an outstanding experience from beginning to end. We had the pleasure of celebrating one of our ladies' birthdays with a complete surprise. She doesn't often join us because she and her husband enjoy traveling both domestically and internationally, so having her with us made the occasion even more meaningful. We were delighted to surprise her with our group birthday song and a beautiful well-wishes card signed by everyone. It was a wonderful moment shared by all. A special thank-you goes to our servers, Jillian and Marley, who were exceptional throughout our entire luncheon. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and gracious service truly enhanced our experience. The Banyan House once again exceeded our expectations. The service, beverages, appetizers, entrées, and desserts were exceptional. Our ladies enjoyed an impressive variety of selections, including the Local Golden Beets Salad, Chicken Wedge, Grilled Salmon Caesar, Lobster Bisque, French Onion Soup, Chicken BLT, Blackened Grouper, Beef Short Ribs, and many other delicious choices. Each entrée offered several side selections, giving everyone plenty of options to enjoy. As I walked around our tables, I heard nothing but compliments about the food. There wasn't one unhappy lady! The quality, presentation, and variety made it easy for everyone to find something they truly enjoyed. And, of course, the best part of any Charlotte County Girlfriends gathering is the company. Looking around the room, there were smiles, laughter, wonderful conversations, and plenty of catching up among friends. Even as lunch came to an end, our ladies continued chatting as they prepared to leave. Our servers were practically zigzagging around the room as conversations continued from table to table! We were also very pleased to meet Stacy, the General Manager, who took the time to thank our group for choosing The Banyan House. She graciously welcomed us back for future lunches or dinners, and we certainly look forward to returning. Thank you, The Banyan House, Jillian, Marley, Stacy, and the entire team for making our luncheon such a memorable experience. And to all of our Charlotte County Girlfriends who joined us--thank you for making another gathering filled with friendship, laughter, great food, and wonderful memories. Enjoy the pictures from today! And if you visit The Banyan House, don't hesitate to mention that you read our Charlotte County Girlfriends review. Until our next gathering!
