Really amazing experience at Bananas. The atmosphere is very homey, and they 100% achieved their mission of total hospitality. To start of the meal, we ordered a selection of appetizers. I recommend ordering both of the salads, as they differ from each other but compliment each other. The goat water was also a very good touch. I would have liked the appetizers to be more complex and match the level of depth that the rest of the meal does (which just means i think everything was amazing). The main comment about the appetizers is the ability of turning something seemingly simple to a depth and complex meal through levels of flavor and texture. Take the lamb shank, which I ordered. It may have been simple as it was served with mash potatoes and broccoli, but the variety of textures and flavors brought this dish to another level. The lobster spaghetti also followed a similar path. The flavors of the sauce and the variety of texture took this dish far. The dessert may have been the best part of the meal. All of the desserts showed out, and you cannot miss the chocolate molten cake. Overall a great experience, 9.25/10.

Worth the drive to this elegant tropical food paradise! Travel up the hill to see amazing sunsets from the rooftop- and the food is over the top delicious- you won’t find a salt or pepper shaker on the table because they season everything with magic! The owner and boutique and wait/bar staff are AMAZING full of passion and professionalism. Make a stop here if you on Nevis! Oh and you must order the goat water- trust me- broaden your food palette- it’s like stew only way better. Really :)
Another must see in Nevis. As other reviewers mentioned go early to SEE the place and watch the sun set, On the roof top!!! Dinner was incredible, with a back porch ambiance the is unforgettable! Just go here!!! and be on island time. Enjoy it all

The setting for this restaurant was great. We were surrounded by a lush forest and seated outside.
We shared a lobster roll appetizer which was excellent. For dinner I had some ribs and my wife had snapper. They were both good but not super memorable. We were staying at a nearby hotel and I would definitely come back here for a change of pace.

Bananas delivered one of the best meals on the island. The service is very warm, welcoming and 5* professional. The food was delicious with great recommendations from the staff. The atmosphere is laid back with tropical decor accompanied by a fun playlist. Several people were celebrating a special occasion and the team went above and beyond to make them feel special.

Just a beautiful experience all around. Nestled among beautiful tropical trees and bushes, the restaurant is vibrant with comfortable seating and a relaxed atmosphere. The food is great. Had the saltfish and Johnny cakes and the goat entree.

We had a wonderful dinner at Bananas - when you drive up, it's like pulling up to a friends house - though a friend who lives in a magical treehouse! We were promptly greeted and invited up to the roofdeck for a pre-dinner treat, which was lovely (and I imagine has quite the sunsets!).
The menu featuring many local favorites was delicious, fairly priced and like eating at a family member's home with Grandma cooking! Simple, local flavors and friendly, attentive service....wonderful desserts and rum selection too! The restaurant has a cute shop too and beautiful artwork that the owner herself has curated from around the world on display and for sale.
The owner was lovely and friendly, and on-site to make sure everyone was happy and having a good time.
All in all, a lovely, warm, welcoming, delicious dinner on our honeymoon!
A garden setting with an excellent service staff. Great culinary experience with an island flavor.
A must visit while on the island of Nevis.
