    Service, Food & Cocktails were all spectacular! The Maitake mushroom, Eurobass en-croute and the Venison are a must try! Will definitely be returning.

    La Banane was exceptional! My husband and I went for a quiet dinner and we were overly impressed from when we walked in until we walked out. Sylvan was our server and he was super nice and informative. The restaurant is elegant and beautifully decorated. It’s a lovely menu with a lot of variety. We enjoyed The Normandy mussels and foie gras to start. The muscles are cold and in a crème fraîche with sweet apples. Absolutely delightful. The flower was a nice piece and grilled to perfection. It melted in your mouth. Our entree was the cod with lobster béarnaise and pomme agilot. OMGosh! What a delicious combination!! The potatoes were so creamy and dreamy! finishing off a beautiful meal, we ended with the banana cake, of course. Absolutely an exceptional meal and I highly recommend La Banane!!

    Fantastic experience. Staff warm, charming & knowledgeable. Food was prepared to perfection (the homemade brioche is killer!). The vibe very urban & chill. Will definitely be back!

    It was nice place. Would consider going back. Some of the food came out cold which sucked as we had to wait extra long for the venison. Was told 20-30 minutes but came out 45-50 min later and cold

    The beef tenderloin is excellent. Size of oysters were very small. There is no soup on the menu. Great Service!

    La Banane always knocks it out of the park - incredible food and Sylvain provides next level service. The chef has always been wonderful about managing my numerous allergies, which keeps me coming back over and over, and I often introduce friends to this beautifully decorated gem. Lovely spot.

    We came here twice for special occasions and Sylvain and Ben were amazing. They made us feel very comfortable, service was impeccable and food amazing! We had the carte Blanche with wine pairing and it was as we expected… perfect. Thank you for creating memories, it’s always a great experience.
