“Banshee is one of those restaurants that reminds me why Atlanta’s dining scene deserves more recognition. We started with the fry bread and pepperoni butter, which was dangerously good. I could have happily made a meal out of it, but fortunately, better judgment prevailed. The scallop crudo was delicate and refreshing, with just the right touch of acidity. The crab spaghetti was outstanding, beautifully cooked with generous crab and wonderful depth of flavor. My husband’s grilled pork coppa was just as impressive, tender and perfectly complemented by the seasonal vegetables. We finished with the Basque chocolate cheesecake. I had absolutely no intention of sharing that one. I really enjoyed the Alpine Negroni, a delightful twist on a classic, and the wine selection was clearly put together with some thought. Service was another highlight. Our server knew the menu well, made some excellent recommendations, and managed to be attentive without hovering over the table. Something I wish more restaurants understood! Courses arrived at a comfortable pace, glasses were refilled without us having to ask, and we never felt rushed. What I liked most about Banshee is that the kitchen clearly takes its craft seriously, but the restaurant doesn’t take itself too seriously. Good food, genuinely pleasant service, and a relaxed atmosphere. Sometimes that’s all you want, and it’s surprisingly hard to find. A lovely evening! We’ll be back!”
