    Excellent cocktails and details. Attention was given to the tableware, decor and menu with continuity and love. Trophy fish tacos were outstanding. The house margarita is made with Don Julio Blanco. The devil is in the details and they spent a lot of time making a devilishly wonderful restaurant. The Banyan restaurant is a sinful delight that should be shared.

    We were expecting live music, but they only do that on Friday and Saturday. We should have called ahead and asked.
