Fantastic service, great food and an overall lovely evening. Absolute favorite was the mistake mushroom, please do yourself a favor and try it out, it’s unlike any mushroom dish you’ve tried before.Insulation next to the windows could be improved so the guests sitting next to the windows won’t feel the wind blowing through the windows.

My brother was out of town visiting from California and I was with my mom who is 81 and we all had an awesome time with everyone but especially Sylvain he is a true GEM ?! It’s a CRIME this restaurant doesn’t have a Michelin Star ?. Everything was special and will give my family a memorable evening. Thank you ?.

Excellent French restaurant, the best we have ever eaten that is not in France. The wine is very good, the rainbow trout and the flatiron beef delicious, beautifully cooked and the sauces are very well mastered. We were at the bar and enjoyed the place. Small downside: when you ordered the desserts, some were no longer available so I advise you to order your desserts at the same time as your dishes.You still have to budget for this restaurant, the dishes are excellent but it's not cheap.

Everything was delicious but I didn't feel it was worth the money despite being no stranger to fine dining. Although everything was cooked to perfection with quality ingredients, the portions for the price felt very off. We were expecting a full piece of chicken but got a baby chicken breast which was confusing. The cabbage was absolutely yum and unexpected. The brioche was our favorite part but was complimentary lol I would pay money for those without question.Worth a try but expect to pay $130+ per person and potentially be hungry after.

The food was amazing, I even said to my boyfriend part way through the meal that I felt like Marie Antoinette because everything was so decadent and the service was so good. I mentioned it was my birthday when making the reservation and all the staff made me feel so special all night!

Overall it was a decent experience. However for a fine dining experience, the whole thing felt kinda mid. The food was pretty good, but not amazing. Portions were predictably small.It was funny because the tables are pretty close to each other and we could hear the conversations the waiter would have with other tables. It was the same conversation they just had with us except they were a bit more friendly and would say a few more friendly words than when they brought out the food to us. Hard not to compare experiences when you are so close you can't help but to overhear.At the end of the night, the waiter said oh you don't have coat check. But when we were seated no one offered coat check in the first place so we had no idea this was an option.

Our server Sylvan made the whole experience. He was absolutely fantastic! Everyone who looked after us there was a 10 out of 10. Couldn’t have asked for a better night!

It has been a while since we had dinner at La Banane. We ordered a dozen of oysters and Hokkaido scallop to start. Oysters are fresh and decent size. For main courses, we had duck breast, seabass and beef tenderloin (rossini). A lot of review said the seabass is too salty, but definitely not for me. Beef tenderloin with foie gras and black truffle is a very good combination. I never tried the tenderloin and foie gras together, I am surprised with the texture in my mouth. However, it is a bit pricy for the 6oz steak. Finally finish up with the banana tart and chocolate cake. Both dessert comes with ice cream. The banana tart is a must try, it is their signature dessert. Overall very good experience!

Walked in to this restaurant on a Friday night and was so lucky to get a seat by the bar. Food and service was 10/10! Our server Sylvain definitely made our experience amazing from the moment we sat down to the moment we left. He was so welcoming and made us feel at home. Although the restaurant was busy he made sure to check on us. We ordered the eurobass, duck breast, mussels, maitake mushroom and the infamous pommes aligot. Everything tasted delicious, flavorful and balanced, especially the sauces on the eurobass and maitake mushroom! The eurobass was so soft and tender and the pommes aligot texture was so different than anything I’ve had, it was pure creamy buttery cheesy goodness. Also the brioche bread with the whipped butter was *chefs kiss*. We had to ask for more bread to sop up all the sauces! The cocktail I ordered was called Goldfinch and I would definitely order it again.
