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.
Review Source:This place is great for dinner. Â The selection of fish is somewhat limited but what they offer is choice. Â Fish and shellfish are always fresh, fresh, fresh and well prepared. Â Appetizers are great, especially the ahi tuna, Bang Bang shrimp and the Mussels Josephine. Â This location is just outstanding for Happy Hour get-togethers. Â Service is upbeat and attentive. Â the wine selection is really good and Happy Hour drink specials make it even better. Â Love it.
Review Source:My husband and I had dinner at the Butermilk Pike Bonefish last night. Â We had two of the specials and the calamari appetizer. Â The food was well prepared.
This review, however, is really about the service. Â Mike was wonderful. Â He knew just how often to stop by and just what to offer. Â He was also very knowledgeable about ingredients in the dishes and what made each unique.
Also, we sat right by the kitchen. Â It was like watching a ballet. Â people were constantly zooming in and out, never quite running into each other. Â The staff all treated one another thoughtfully, making sure that the entry mat stayed in place, picking up after one another. Â 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.
You know, i'm not really a big fan of chain restaurants, so I usually overlook this place, because I fear it will be boring and predictable, but seriously, this place doesn't disappoint.
After being given a gift card for this restaurant group (Outback, Carrabas, & Bonefish are all available in our area), we opted to use it for Bonefish. Being new parents, the rare occasion for date night is a big deal too, and this place far exceeded our expectations.
First of all, our server, Mike, was awesome. He had great recommendations to offer without being pushy, and we took them, because he seemed sincere, and really friendly, and they didn't disappoint. From the wine selection to the (off the menu) Razz topping for my Grouper, each recco he gave was stellar.
We ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer, which was awesome. A bed of greens with fried shrimp on top dressed with a perfect spicy mayonnaise-y sauce that'll make your nose run and leave you wanting more.
My husband ordered the monkfish, which was a first and loved it. Mike said they feed on lobster, so they kind of taste like lobster, and it didn't disappoint. As I mentioned, I ordered the Grouper with the "Razz" toping, which included lump crab meat, tomatoes and spinach. It was a little piece of heaven. In between courses Mike brought us some complimentary Crab chowder, which was just fantastic, and oh-so nice of him.
We'd definitely recommend going. We'll be back. And we'll definitely ask to sit in Mike's section again!
Bonefish Grill is like a fancier Red Lobster.
Here are the pros:
1. Nice, solid fish selection with several options for preparation. Pan Asian is my fav.
2. Food always tastes great and the specials are always interesting.
3. Excellent appetizers - especially the bang bang shrimp. Even the lettuce is great in that appetizer.
4. Great service - I've never had bad, unprofessional service here. And I've been here many a time.
5. Bathrooms are always clean - MAJOR PLUS! You can always tell the cleanliness of a restaurant by how clean their restrooms are.
Here are the cons:
1. Sub-par non-seafood selection. Yes, it's a seafood place but... if you go there with friends and you aren't that into seafood, you have really limited options. Really limited. Like you have 3 things to pick from. And they aren't that healthy.
2. Parking is a pain in the butt, but you can park at the neighboring 5/3rd lot.
3. The revolving door is terrifying - it's completely blacked out and it feels like it's swallowing you alive for a brief few seconds.
4. Smallish dining area which means longish wait. Even if you go in the middle of the week.
5. They don't give you crayons anymore to draw on the paper on your table. Major bummer. The servers used to write their names on the end of the table on that paper and leave the crayons for customers to doodle with while they waited for food.
I've never sat at the bar or had a drink from Bonefish so I'm not sure how that service is there. I have dined with people who have ordered drinks, though, and they always seemed very pleased with their choice and noted that the drinks were a little strong - which means a good value at least.
Overall, if you go, I highly recommend doing call ahead (you'll probably still have to wait though) or get a reservation. Just stick with the seafood since the non-seafood choices aren't that great and definitely get the bang bang shrimp.
We went to Bonefish for the first time ever last night on our way to a Christmas Party.... I was pleasantly suprised. The place was PACKED but we were able to sit down at one of the "group" high top tables in the bar area right away. Apparently they reserve 1/3 of the restaurant for reservations and the other 2/3 for walk ins.
The bang bang shrimp was really good and and a pretty generous portion. We split an entree and they cooked and plated it separately which I appreciated. Service was also good- although I am still confused as to why all the waiters and waitresses wear chef coats....
I had eaten at the Bonefish Grill in Franklin, TN and was very impressed. Â That made this location even more of a disappointment. Â I sat at the bar as I was traveling alone. Â The bartender provided adequate service but the dinner (salmon) was terrible for a restaurant that specializes in fish and seafood. Â I will be very wary of other Bonefish locations after this experience.
