  • I hate French food. I've been to France twice and have never found the palate for it, so I was very hesitant before going to La Banane. First, they've done wonderful things with the space. It doesn't look like The Saint with a new coat of paint. However, not all tables are created equal, and it's obvious where you fall in the "cool" category based on where you are seated. You can interpret that as you want. Hostess was friendly and helpful, taking our coats right away. Now, I can't dock them any points for friendliness. But, sadly, the one star off of a 5-star experience for me was that everything was TOO friendly and TOO efficient. We hadn't sat down 15 seconds when we were asked if we had questions. Plates and drinks were always attempted to be cleared before we done, causing me to rush and to feel embarrassed when I said I wasn't done yet. And not to suggest we were taking a long time - by the time the bill came, we had been there 90 minutes total and had over 6 courses and 6 drinks. So....they 100% rushed us, and for no reason. We were the late seating, so they weren't even hoping to flip the table. A good way to solve this problem would be to read the table. If we tell you not to clear plates, realize we are not in a rush. This restaurant is indulgent, and it's meant to be enjoyed, and it's romantic, and it feels like an atmosphere of savouring. I didn't walk away feeling like they were on the same page. The food was amazing, however, and will be the saving grace in these trying first months. Rich, decadent but somehow subtle at the same time? Drinks and wine selections were excellent as well. Little touches (like the banana bread candle burning in the basement) are appreciated. I will definitely return to indulge again, and hopefully this time, the restaurant will let me.
