Flawless experience every time. This is a bustling restaurant--make sure to book in advance. For a more private experience, ask for a table either at the front or at the back seating area.
The food is simply outstanding. Having dined at many traditional French restaurants, I feel La Banane is the perfect blend between traditional and modern.
Make sure not to miss these dishes/plates: oysters, wagyu beef, pommes aligot (a must! incredible!), albacore tuna, beef tartare, and the impressive eurobass-en-croute. Yes, the chocolate ziggy stardust disco egg is tres cool and highly instragrammable, but I felt that it was not worth $50 and just too much chocolate for two people.
