Banana Boat outside seating allows patrons to enjoy there meal in a comfortable visual experience. Servers are friendly and make it there business to make there customers enjoy there dining experience. There wide variety menu adds to the-overall success. Though they offer valet service, it would be nice to have more parking spaces, and less valet spaces for those who prefer to self park, as many of these valet spots are not used.

nice place to dine for lunch & dinner. depending on weather of course, outside seating or bar seating is preferred by us. during the winter months when the "snow birds" are in FL you had better have a reservation. Once the snow birds go back where they belong, its much easier to eat almost anywhere including Banana Boat.

Julie was our wonderful waitress. Eggs Benedict and wife's brioche French toast were excellent. Decent priced drinks all made it an excellent value!

It was my sister's birthday and we decided to go celebrate as soon as we walked in we where welcomed with a nice smile, the girl in the entrance helped me with the cake a brought in, and our server was AMAZING he went above and beyond! Unfortunately I can't recall his name, he went to check on our table at least 10 times asked if everything was good, recommended me a drink. He even took pictures with us, made us feel very welcomed! I love Banana Boat overall!

The Banana Boat has been a staple restaurant in my family for 37 years. The many times we went there to eat by ourselves or with friends, our experience was only and absolutely positive. This is an exceptionally well run restaurant, with professional, courteous staff and outstanding food. With waterfront dining, cleanliness, reasonable prices, diverse menu and fresh food, this is the best value in the area without sacrificing an elevated expectation.
