I love the banshee. Food and ambience is always 10/10. That said it really sucked when my girlfriend and I visited Chico for the weekend and our drink order was practically ignored for 5 minutes so the bartenders could take shots with their friends. I like a fun party atmosphere but this was just rude to do to people who are paying legit money. I am the last person who would complain about people enjoying themselves and having fun, even when at work, but this just left a bad taste...
They have really really good food but the sound management is incredibly bad and the noise is very harsh on the ears. The clattery kitchen noises come through very loud and clear, voices bounce around super loudly, and the music can barely compete. Way too loud even when they're slow. They really need some sound dampening tiles. The back room is slightly better noise-wise, but the tables fill up fast
Last Sunday evening… Female bartender edgy with plenty of attitude and awkward annoyed blank stares when taking orders. Not nice. Amazingly though, with her friends at the bar chatting and laughing seemed like a whole different person. First time here. I came for the smoked wings which were great. Other male bartender super nice with friendly demeanor. I guess if you are a regular you are treated differently. Stopped here on a road trip back from Lassen.
