Bonefish Grill

First time at Bonefish Grill today; there for a family event - 12 people. The service was very good; servers were well trained on the menu including beverages and daily specials. However, I considered them a bit pushy, trying multiple times (4x or more) to entice us into appetizers. Several of the group took the bait. They were pretty good. The Ahi Tuna was good but not outstanding. I thought the tuna was over-sauced. The tuna flavor should come through but the sauces masked it somewhat. Entrees were quite tasty. I had the Bang Bang Tacos with spring mix greens; both were very nice. My wife had a chicken dish which was wood-cooked. It was good but had a slight fish taste. Perhaps the grill needs a good cleaning? Other entrees I tasted included the crab cakes (good) and fish tacos (not shrimp) which were very good. Finally, I was a bit put off by the servers who hinted (strongly) that an extra gratuity beyond the pre-added (albeit adjustable) 18% was encouraged and appreciated. Overall, I was pretty satisfied and would be inclined to return in the future.

This place is great for dinner.  The selection of fish is somewhat limited but what they offer is choice.  Fish and shellfish are always fresh, fresh, fresh and well prepared.  Appetizers are great, especially the ahi tuna, Bang Bang shrimp and the Mussels Josephine.  This location is just outstanding for Happy Hour get-togethers.  Service is upbeat and attentive.  the wine selection is really good and Happy Hour drink specials make it even better.  Love it.

My husband and I had dinner at the Butermilk Pike Bonefish last night.  We had two of the specials and the calamari appetizer.  The food was well prepared.

This review, however, is really about the service.  Mike was wonderful.  He knew just how often to stop by and just what to offer.  He was also very knowledgeable about ingredients in the dishes and what made each unique.

Also, we sat right by the kitchen.  It was like watching a ballet.  people were constantly zooming in and out, never quite running into each other.  The staff all treated one another thoughtfully, making sure that the entry mat stayed in place, picking up after one another.  My favorite touch was just after we placed our orders and were finished reading, one of the waitstaff lowered the light level making it more intimate.

All in all, a great evening, Thank you all.
