Default Magnificent and very tall banana plant (fruiting) in LA

A few years ago I came across this very tall banana plant in front of the Formosa restaurant in Los Angeles. You can see it's fruiting. These are the only pictures I took of it. Does anyone have any idea what variety this may be?

Famous local restaurant of the stars.

I bet if someone called them they would know.
