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.

We have eaten here many times as we are local. The servers were fabulous and the food was not quite up to their usual par but it is a bust night and I couldn't complain about anything. Nicole was amazing and attentive.

Had a reservation and we were seated "on-the-water" 15 minutes early!!! Service was great, food was fantastic and the four of us totally enjoyed our Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner. Hats off to the Banana Boat.

My wife and I went for lunch. We sat outside, since the weather was perfect. We shared the Shrimp Guacamole Appetizer (loaded with big pieces of shrimp). My wife had the Shrimp and Scallop Scampi, and I had the Coconut Shrimp Salad. Both were excellent.

I took a friend out to celebrate her birthday. We both had great entrees, tasty and delivered quickly. Most enjoyable!!! The dessert (Banana Split )was quite remarkable and very happily enjoyed by both of us! Service was efficient and friendly.
