As always a great meal, excellent service. Great deal of choice on the menu. I especially love the vegetable tagine and lentil curry.

We had a lovely evening at Banjo. Food was delicious, excellent service and the decor really nice. I particularly enjoyed dessert, dark chocolate bomb, one of the best things ever!!

After two weeks of lavish eating and drinking on Guernsey and Jersey, Banjo wins our vote for the best meal of the trip. Everything was perfect. Exquisite food and great wines. Service excellent.
Don’t forget to visit the loos!! The ‘lighting experience’ of fish and sea creatures ‘coming to life’ in the lower hall is unforgettable. -
Great selection on the menu with the staff having a great understanding of allergies. The allergy menu has got to be seen to be believed. Very comprehensive covering all the ingredients in each meal. My wife’s meal was gluten free and the dishes were marked with an allergy flag which is reassuring. Staff were attentive but not intrusive. A very pleasant evening at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend this restaurant.

This was the main dining event of our group’s visit to Jersey. It was an excellent choice. A little more upmarket gave a sense of special occasion, without being at all stiff. The food and service were top notch. A very good evening Banjo, thank you.

What an excellent evening we had at Banjo after previously going to the Oyster Box, another restaurant within the JPRestaurants group. Our cocktail waiter made great drinks and offered us fabulous service as did all the staff.

Went for dinner on a Saturday night, although the restaurant was extremely busy the staff were very attentive. The food is delicious with plenty to choose from and not too pricey. Can highly recommend the crab salad to start followed by the chicken. The presentation of the food is outstanding. Will definitely return.

My wife discovered Banjo in a travel guide, what a great find. Situated in a grand old building with classical furnishings, together with soft music provided great ambience. Menu excellent to suit all tastes, and our choices all beautifully prepared. I had steak which was cooked to perfection. Service also first rate and friendly. I would definitely go back.

Unable to fault food, service or staff. All exemplary. Creme brûlée was the best I’ve ever eaten. Would definitely return and recommend.

I love Banjo and these days it’s the place for us to dine regularly. The food is always cooked to perfection and the staff are attentive and always willing to help if you have any questions. They seem to know what the chef is doing and can give full account of what’s in store for your choice.
-
Banjo is an excellent choice for an evening meal. Food was first class as was the service, not just in the restaurant itself but also in the bar. Well worth a visit.

I was taken to Banjo whilst visiting Jersey on business. We started with a drink in the bar with its extensive cocktail list. The staff were very attentive and friendly. The only problem was choosing a drink from the list!
-
Banjo is fun and elegant with delicious food and fine wine. Excellent for business or just with friends. It is situated in the traditional period part of St. Helier near The Market which has not been spoiled by modern soulless buildings. They have a great bar and cocktail list too.
-
Had a very enjoyable meal here for Valentine’s Day, the food was outstanding & the service from the staff was excellent. I would definitely recommend Banjo & would return if in Jersey again.

My wife and I had an excellent lunch, friendly service, unrushed, pleasant surroundings – just can’t review without mentioning the luxurious toilets!

What a meal… Oysters recommended for starter and they were fabulous, better than I ever expected. The main was Tomahawk steak, cooked to perfection. The service was excellent, extremely attentive without being intrusive. Can’t wait to visit again with my other half as it was absolutely fabulous.

Great service, good menu at an affordable price. Love the Victorian features in the restaurant, high ceilings and elegant windows. Great risotto starter, followed by the Tomahawk steak to share. You have to try it – 5 stars!

Banjo was recommended to us by family who use it frequently for entertaining clients. The building is great and the atmosphere warm and relaxed. I have to say the service was exceptionally good – very professional but friendly. The food was also excellent. We felt we had a relaxed, enjoyable evening with great food and service, and a good bottle of wine.

We had a lovely meal at Banjo. The food was incredible and so was the atmosphere and décor. We would definitely return here and recommend to others.
-
We had our annual Christmas bash at Banjo for the 4th year in a row, which speaks volumes about how good they are. The food was excellent, even though they were catering for a large number of people. The best part about using Banjo though is the staff – they were efficient and professional but more importantly friendly, fun and very patient!

Excellent food, cocktails and service. I’ve been twice now and can’t fault it. Even the wallpaper is cool.

Banjo is a lovely restaurant. We dined here in 2015 and on our revisit to Jersey in July 2016, we reserved a table once again. The meal was fantastic with an excellent menu. This restaurant boasts a lovely ambiance with a nice décor and it is also maintained to a high standard. The staff provide an excellent service.

We had booked Banjo for our first anniversary. The staff were fantastic – friendly and efficient. A bottle of Prosecco was waiting for us as ordered and the food was excellent and out of this world. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening and would not hesitate to book another visit.

Had been wanting to try Banjo for a while… it was a lovely evening, the staff were very attentive and answered all my questions about the menu, and helped us with our choices. The food was truly delicious, we had the Porterhouse steak which was cooked to perfection and so tasty. Lovely room and nice atmosphere. We will be back.

Have to say from walking in to Banjo I loved it. Pre-drinks and just a lovely feel. FOOD was outstanding one of the best ever. The waiter was so attentive and all the staff were great so looking forward to going back.

Just lovely. Nice atmosphere. Private and stylish. Delicious cocktails. I have enjoyed meals here with work colleagues, drank cocktails here with friends and also had an after dinner drink with my husband and it’s been the perfect place for all these occasions.
-
Our second visit to Banjo and again an excellent meal. The fish was outstanding and the service and ambiance is warm, contemporary and stylish. Great cocktails too. Worth getting there early for a drink in the airy and glamorous bar.

The food and service in the restaurant was second to none. The staff were very helpful catering to my food allergy and the quality of the food is something to be experienced. We will definitely be going back when we visit the island again… the sooner the better.

AMAZING! Absolutely fantastic experience and one we just stumbled up on! Fantastic building, decor, service, food, wine, etc. Everything about this place was great.
-
Good service from our waitress from start to finish. We never felt rushed and enjoyed a long evening in a nice atmospheric restaurant. The selection of food is perfect, something for everyone, the steak in particular was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Highly recommended from a local!
-
Went there for a 50th birthday tea – 6 people & 4 of us have serious food allergies – the staff were amazing at dealing with this & we had the best dinner.
-
Second visit to this restaurant whilst visiting Jersey and not disappointed. The restaurant was very busy but had a good atmosphere. Staff polite and attentive throughout the meal. Excellent menu choices. The lobster mac and cheese was outstanding.
-
Popped in for lunch in the conservatory after a recommendation from our hotel concierge and loved it. So much so we then went onto to visit the Crab Shack at Gorey and the Oyster Box at St Brelade’s – all superb.
-
This restaurant is excellent for both groups and couples, offering a delicious menu. There is a separate bar which has an extensive menu. The atmosphere in both the bar and restaurant is great, with very attentive staff.
-
Came for cocktails on Friday night. Then back for lunch the following day. Food, drinks & service just spot on. Crab on toast really fresh & truffle Parmesan fries were to die for. A fantastic addition to the scene and surely the way Jersey should be heading in terms of bars & restaurant.
-
We ate in the Banjo bar and received good food and service. Most of the customers were on business but we were made very welcome even though we weren’t doing deals!
-
Perfect. Choice of food delicious. We all shared the squid and sushi for starters. Sushi was delicious. Crab linguine and steaks thoroughly recommended. Good selection on kids menu. After dessert we retired to the bar for coffee and drinks. Good selection of wine by glass or bottle.

Three of us came here whilst visiting friends in Jersey. The cocktails were delicious, the food was devoured by all of us. Very reasonably priced. Lovely decor and great waiting staff – attentive but not intrusive. Will definitely be back…

Beautiful food. The oysters are to die for! I had the Miso Salmon dish which was delicious. Staff were very hard working and eager to please.

Went for lunch and really enjoyed it. The decor is fantastic and the food is superb. Great professional and friendly service. Great place for a treat and I’ll definitely return.

Best meal on the island! Definitely recommended.
-
We went here for a meal last week, what can I say except WOW! Great food, very professional staff and a gorgeous venue!
-
Boutique Hotel… finished to an impeccable standard. A must-try are the miniature oysters farmed locally.
-
One of the best hotels I have stayed in. This place is absolutely fabulous from checking in to eating in the restaurant. The squid chilli salad as a starter is the best I’ve ever had, steaks are BBQ taste – fantastic – the whole place and staff are faultless, can’t wait to come back!
-
I was very impressed with the service and especially the relaxed yet attentive barmen. Judging only on the bar snacks that we had, I’ll definitely have to be booking a table in the restaurant soon as everything was very well made. The whole feeling of the place is that of a decent London hotel with a restaurant, and not that of the usual ‘wine/cocktail bar that serves food’ that you usually get in Jersey – which is a great thing. I also would have to say that the Old Fashioned that was made for me was easily the best I’ve had in Jersey.
-
Well worth a visit! We enjoyed Sunday lunch at Banjo today and enjoyed every aspect – the decor is great and very well done. We had a window booth which was a lovely spot for the 4 of us. The menu was a treat – one of those when you struggle to choose! We had main course and sweet, and left very happy! Service was fine – not rushed or lacking but just right. Ambience was great. Food quality was excellent and well priced. All in all look forward to our next visit.
-
Took my wife for lunch yesterday and could not fault this new venue, food was the best we have had for a long time, the style and decor is up there with the best you would find in any major city, very vibrant customers. The front of house staff could not of been more welcoming. We have already booked to return with friends before Christmas.
-
Had a great night Friday 8th March. I will be back.
-
Fantastic. What impressed me the most however was the service, Bravo, the staff were extremely attentive and really made my Mother feel special even though the restaurant was very busy.
-
We had a superb lunch at Banjo this week. I simply could not fault it. The service was excellent, the food wonderful and it was full on a midweek lunch, making a good atmosphere.
-
Amazing venue, great atmosphere, friendly staff, great food.

Banjo has rapidly become “the” new place for dinner or lunch in one of its three contemporary dining rooms.
