They have greatly expanded and have taken over part of an adjacent building for additional kitchen space. They have a nice menu which takes advantage of locally available foods as well as some brought in from garter away. Local seafood featured prominently, as do pasta dishes and some creative salads. They also have some gringo style steaks (thick, aged beef) and BBQ ribs on the menu. They have a reasonable wine and beer list and also make good cocktails. We enjoyed their Besame Mucho margaritas which were nicely balanced. My wife had the blackberry dorado dish. Nice pieces of dorado with a slightly spice blackberry glaze. I opted for the BBQ ribs. They came separated into individual ribs which were grilled and covered with a slightly sweet spicy sauce. Very tasty! They came with an half eat of corn and a baked potato topped with mayonnaise and bacon. I want crazy about the mayo, but it was very Mexican. We didn't have it this time, but in the past we've had their caprese salad as an appetizer and found it very good. This time we had there guacamole and chips which was fresh and good. This visit they had a live guitarist playing covers from the 70s to the 90s. He was good, but a little loud for conversation. A good place that deserves business.

From the moment you walk in, you're made to feel welcome. The owners clearly care about their restaurant, their staff, and every guest who comes through the door. The food is consistently excellent and everything arrives fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Everything is home made fresh! What truly sets this place apart, though, is the staff. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to be there, they make the experience relaxed and memorable without ever feeling rushed. If you're looking for great food, great people, and a place that feels like it's run with heart, Bananas is a must-visit. We'll absolutely be back.

I was very disappointed in the owner, he seemed very full of himself and gave us no chance to interact. He shared his story with little to no interest in ours and we were fellow cruisers. Mostly the expats and cruisers come here. If you want an experience like you are in the states, this is the place to come. I'd rather a local restaurant, with the locals.
