La Banane will only get 3-stars from me because of the uncomfortably inflated cost for food that, in my opinion, wasn't worth it. I ordered the Roasted Maitake Mushroom ($24) and the Eurobass-en-Crust ($64) while my husband ordered the 18oz Rib Steak ($175) and the Roasted Cabbage ($13). We shared a Banana Cake ($16) for dessert and our total after taxes and tip was just shy of $400. Realistically, I expected to pay a bit of a premium here given the accolades but I think charging $175 for an 18oz is just a little bit unreasonable. It certainly wasn't an exceptional piece of meat and in fact, they served it in a way that didn't retain heat well so we ended up with a cold steak halfway through. Instead of just tossing the cooked steak on a room temp serving pan, they should've served it on a sizzling hot pan and layered it ontop of an intermediary such as onions so it wouldn't continuously cook the steak but allows the customer to sear and heat it as they wish (they do this in Japan for Kobe steak). It's the least they could do for $175. Otherwise, the eurobass, cabbage, and banana cake were tasty but the portion of eurobass was a bit small. The salted crust (not meant for consumption) is quite thick so it makes the dish look larger than it actually is. Unfortunately, I found the maitake mushroom dish tasted too greasy and made me queasy after a couple of bites. Overall, I left feeling unsatisfied with the cost of the meal for what it was worth. read more
