The food was good but the place lacks atmosphere and energy. There are better options within walking distance

We had read The Banana Deck has steel/calypso music on Thursday night in a local paper. To double check, we stopped by earlier in the week. We were told that there would be music that Thursday from 6 to 9 pm. We made reservations because of our large group (10+) and drove 20 minutes into Cruz Bay on Thursday evening... More

Two different people recommended that we try the Banana Deck. So we did. Wow! It was the best dinners we had in St. John. So good that we came back a second night to eat! Delicious food and reasonable prices.

We live on STJ and we have to say that the BDeck is the place for steak. The steaks are handcut every day and are just so delicious! They have lots of amazing options for toppers. The special last week was blue cheese and balsamic reduction which was amazing! Our server Kim was great and always friendly.

Banana Deck was a nice place, outdoor seating, across the street from Cruz Bay. I had a BBC drink, don't really remember what was in it, but it was good! I had the Mahi Mahi special dinner. It was delicious. It was grilled with some type of glaze on it, rice and steamed broccoli.

Waitress told us they were out of three of the specials listed in their sign (all still listed when we left)...staff seemed frazzled. Seated at a table overlooking air conditioning system of the restaurant next door. would have left, but figured food might salvage the night. it did not.

During vacation with 11 friends we enjoyed two of our 12 evenings at the Banana Deck. Both trips we had a awesome waitress named Emily. The food was amazing , I had the grilled swordfish and the ribeye with balsamic reduction and blue cheese the second night. Would definitely recommend and will be heading there when I return to St.... More

Banana Deck is perfect for lunch or dinner. Their salads are fresh and huge. They always have great specials and their Big Deck Burger is the best burger on island. On Sat and Sun they do an awesome Bloody Mary Bar! Great views of Cruz Bay with friendly, attentive and fast service. This is def a must!
