Inventive, chef-driven spot with excellent cocktails and standout small plates; creative menu thrills adventurous eaters but can be inconsistent, loud, and pricey with street parking hassles.
Banshee delivers competitive quality through strong food quality and genuinely attentive service, but inconsistent execution—occasional oversalting, oiliness, and doneness issues—prevents a higher grade. The moody, thoughtfully designed space and creative, seasonal menu appeal to adventurous diners, though modest portions and bold flavors aren't for everyone. Worth visiting for the cocktails and standout small plates when execution aligns.
One caveat: Parking is genuinely tough in EAV; budget time or use rideshare
