Our server was super sweet and everyone we interacted with was welcoming. That said... the food was underwhelming. The best thing we had was the Chilled Florida Combo with oysters and shrimp, which feels pretty hard to mess up. I ordered the scallops and for $44, it just wasn't worth it. My husband got the shrimp and grits and actually sent it back, which we never do. The grits were watery and completely lacked seasoning. I'd come back for a drink and maybe an appetizer, but I'd skip the entrees next 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!

(All about $2-3 more per pint than one would expect though). Like $10 - $11 for a pour. Nonetheless, great selection, and the bartender was very nice. I got a burger and ordered it medium. It was clearly previously frozen and cooked on a flat top. It came out a greasy mess. I ate more than half as I was starving and didn't feel like complaining and sending it back. My wife told me the guy next to her was a regular and complained to the bartender that his burger tasted off. She got a chicken sandwich and the chicken came out hard and was even difficult to cut through. Also, pre frozen. They clearly spent a good amount of money on the place, which is relatively new but they need to get their s__t together in the kitchen or will not be around much longer. Too many other decent places to choose from. Hope they figure it out.

We came at an awkward hour between lunch and dinner and were able to get seated right away. I got the tuna poke bowl, which I enjoyed. My husband got the Monday special of all you can eat fish and chips. Our waiter underestimated him and didn't think he would be able to get a second helping. Nonsense, and he could've gotten a third if he really wanted to! We capped it off with some key lime pie. Not the best I've ever had but definitely enjoyable. The atmosphere is beautifully coastal with plenty of natural light. The staff was lively, friendly, and helpful. Definitely check them out!
