Banapple - Santa Cruz

This is not the typical Banapple that we all know and love. The food was served cold, the pork was chewy, the roasted rice was too oily, and the egg was bland.

What a fantastic experience! The food was definitely worth the price. My 82-year-old grandmother, who is a light and picky eater, managed to finish her entire plate of hickory ribs because they were so delicious. The only area that could use improvement is the speed of service. Even though the restaurant wasn't crowded when we visited, the food took longer to arrive than we had hoped.

My father went easy and ordered the tuna sandwich and a salad. I went hard and got the ribs and rice. The food here is great, but above all the serving size is excellent. I'm talking about earning your money. If you have lunch, try the banapple...smoothie. A very refreshing drink. Anyway, back soon.

The food here is superb, especially the pasta dishes. I highly recommend this restaurant for groups, families, solo diners, and business colleagues. The indoor dining ambience is fantastic and the outdoor Alfresco seating area is also top-notch.

The food was ok. The price was just right but you’re paying more of the amount rather than the taste (I almost wasn’t able to finish my plate). The cake was good although I can’t eat much cos I was too full. The ambiance was...just right, it feels like a cafe and if I were to compare it, it falls just next to Contis in terms of ambiance (I’ve been comparing reviews with Contis as it’s my fav resto).
