I've eaten at two of these chain joints three times. Â The other was in Savannah. Â Gotta tell ya, neither disappointed me. Â I'll say this, consistency in a chain is key, so far that is what puts a smile on my face when I travel and notice a Bonefish is close.
The only dish i'm not a fan of and I still order are the mussels. Â When they cool off and the sauce begins to coagulate I stop. Â would be better if shared. Â Like I said I still order it.
The Ahi Tuna Sashimi is awesome, get the large! Â With the bread and dipping oil and you have a meal that will stand up to any review.
Hopefully more trips to other locations are in my future...
Yelp snobs please hold your noses now, but yes I am reviewing and rewarding a chain restaurant 4 stars. I live in Chicago and have access to a lot of stellar restaurants, but I travel for work extensively and end up in many smaller Midwest locations where Bonefish has a presence. I've eaten at 3 different locations (most recently this one in Evansville, IN) and the food is consistently delicious and reasonably priced. Their Bang Bang Shrimp is sinful appetizer and a total steal on Wednesdays when it's only 5 bucks. I've also tried their crabcakes which were crispy on the outside and moist and meaty on the inside. The trout with the lemon butter sauce is divine, and I have NEVER found a bone in my fish (a common problem with that fish at many other "fine" restaurants.
Be sure to ask for the complimentary bread. It's heavenly when dipped in their olive oil and pesto.
