on Yahoo Dec 08, 2008The only thing that makes this place special is the live music on weekends. If you're looking for a "hang out" place but don't want to go to a bar or club, this is it. The food is so-so. Nothing you can't get at any other Thai... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 22, 2008<b>The Scene</b><br>The lights may be dim, but the energy at Banana Bay is as vibrant as this Thai restaurant's sunny yellow walls. Colorful sand and seashells that fill the glass tanks lining the walls are another... (more)

on Citysearch May 03, 2007The food is great. The price is better. The service is as good as Ben Afleck in Gigli: horrible. Timeliness and courteous service is almost not a virtue in this place b/c it is so busy and the staff is limited. TIP:... (more)
