    Always a great time at Banana Boat. I had the Big Chicken Parmesan and could not finish it. I brought the rest home to have the next day. We sat outside and the view of the intercoastal is wonderful. Our server was very attentive, checking in on us throughout the meal.

    Service by Tabitha was great. Food could be better, kind of generic, but at least it was hot.

    Grade vibe, great service, great food, great selection. If I had to make one comment, it would be that they could elevate the wine by the glass choices. And of course, being on the water is a very special way to spend an evening.

    The food was nicely prepared and good presentation; I was happily surprised because being such a casual place, the service and food, the stting area setup all were pretty nice. Music was fun; loud but since we were sitting by the back by the water, we could converse fine and there was a good ambiance.

    Great food- huge portions! Live music and small dance floor - what a fabulous vibe! Waitstaff are friendly and efficient. Highly recommend. Parking tight but there is valet service.

    We have eaten at banana boat before. On this occasion, the place was extraordinarily noisy… We could not carry a conversation across the table. It took a very long time for us to order and get our food. When the food did arrive, one of our portions was quite small, especially the piece of fish, but both were very overcooked.I can’t blame the server because I did not complain as we had waited so long we just did not want to wait any longer so we ate it as was and left.
