Very good! One of the places my husband asked if we could go to twice (he said it was his favorite). He had the ribeye- says it was the best one he had on the island… I had the seafood special, which was delicious. The conch fritters were amazing. Their dessert is also super good! Save room and get it 🙂 Thank me later. We did have reservations and they got us right in.

We had a delightful dinner party of five on our final night in St. John, seeking a sophisticated dining experience. Despite the restaurant being after the usual dinner rush, it took them approximately 10 minutes to seat us at a table that wasn’t in need of cleaning and was already set for six. Our hostesses kindly offered us water, which we all eagerly accepted. However, the wait for our water to be delivered to our table was quite lengthy, taking about 7 minutes.

Finally, our server arrived, and she was incredibly friendly and seemed to be managing only a few tables in the vicinity. We promptly ordered two appetizers, and she promptly placed our order. Surprisingly, the portion sizes were quite small for the price of $18 each. Despite their delicious taste and quick preparation, the appetizers were a bit disappointing.

Three of us decided to indulge in the special of the evening, the Seafood Au Gratin. Although it was priced at market value, I had anticipated it to be more expensive compared to other items on the menu. Unfortunately, the server never informed us of the price, and I had to ask her directly. She informed us it was $69 for the special and we expected it to be delicious for that price. To our dismay, the dish consisted of only four shrimp and a piece of fish served over rice, topped with panko and Parmesan cheese. It was a mediocre meal at best, and I believe it should have cost around $25. The other two in the party really enjoyed their meals and they were reasonably priced. They also added a 20% gratuity because we were a party of five, so don’t over tip. Bill ended up being an average of $70 per person with tip.

This place is known for their steaks but I’ve had two different salads and they were amazing! Sarah is the most awesome bartender. I was here in July and when I came back 7 months later she remembered us as well as what we ate. Her energy is infectious and she treats everyone like friends. Love this place so much!

Good old banana deck! One of the only places on the island I can get Shrimp Alfredo lol it’s a bit hard to complain when it feels like you’re sitting in a tree fort in one of the best spots on the island! Food is darn good and the prices are fair. Drinks are great as well! Have been and will continue to go here every time I’m on the island!

This place was fantastic on all levels. The island atmosphere was great, it has multiple levels right across the street from the ocean. The food was amazing and came out hot, delicious, and on time. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed a Sunday night out and even spotted a wild peacock while enjoying some dinner and listening to some live music. The red snapper and Caribbean chicken were wonderful!

The food was amazing. My wife got the cheesesteak and I got the buffalo chicken sandwich. Sarah took great care of us and gave us some pointers about St John.

A Stellar Island Find – Don’t let the casual name fool you – Banana Deck offers a dining experience that punches well above its weight, especially when it comes to their standout Sunday Brunch or an evening ribeye stake that has this discerning Colorado steak lover singing its praises.

Go see Sydney or Panyai who expertly slings drinks with a smile here, this place is a gem with live music on Thursday nights.

The Sunday Brunch is a delightful experience, particularly the build-your-own Bloody Mary & Mimosa bar. It’s a fun and interactive way to customize your brunch beverage to your exact liking, setting a relaxed and convivial tone for the afternoon.

However, the real showstopper for me, a self-proclaimed steak aficionado hailing from Colorado where top-tier steakhouses are the norm, is the ribeye steak. To say it’s the best on the island is not hyperbole – it truly stands up against some of the finest I’ve had in renowned steakhouses back home. The cut was magnificent, cooked to absolute perfection, and bursting with flavor. For a Colorado guy who rarely orders steak outside of highly-rated establishments, this ribeye at Banana Deck has set a new benchmark for island dining.

Beyond the exceptional food and drink, I can attest to the friendly and efficient service, reflecting the overall welcoming atmosphere.

Whether you’re looking for a lively Sunday brunch with customizable cocktails or a dinner featuring a truly outstanding ribeye steak, Banana Deck is a must-try. It’s a testament to quality and flavor that even a steak-snob like myself can wholeheartedly endorse. Don’t miss out on this island treasure!
