On nights when the cover band isn't playing the atmosphere of Banana Bay is like a high school cafeteria . . . that plays Norah Jones and Rod Stewart (American Classics). The noise level is pretty high, and there is little to no privacy. Most of the seats are arranged like a cafeteria, but if you're lucky you might get a booth where there is some privacy. Once seated you'll get one of two services: bad service or okay service. I've had both. This restaurant serves a lot of people at once, so don't expect 5 star service. But do expect really good food. My favorites are the Crispy Chicken Hainam Rice, BBQ Chicken w/ Fried Rice, Pad Kee Mao (Noodle dish), Paradise Duck Curry, Pad Thai and the Gulf of Siam. Not only the food, but the prices more than makes up for the lack of service. The average price for a dish is around $6; that's the price of a double quarter pounder meal at Mickey-D's. I would recommend this place to anyone, especially if you're bringing a big party. Word of advice: There isn't a waiter designated to your table, so if you want prompt service grab anyone in uniform.
Pros: Food and Prices
Cons: Service and cafeteria feel
