What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Bonefish Grill offers a generally positive dining experience with popular seafood dishes and a cozy atmosphere. Many praise the friendly and knowledgeable staff, particularly during special events. However, some reviews highlight inconsistencies in food preparation and service, with specific complaints about over-salting or undercooking, and instances of poor attentiveness from servers.
"Came for one of their wine and food pairing events. The food was well cooked and seasoned and the portions were good for a four course tasting. The wine was also a nice variety and good selection. They were also kind enough to pour added small tastings if asked for ones you liked."

"Worst Dinning Experience! If you are a person of color, don’t ever think about dinning here. Just to level set, we love bonefish as a family. We always make sure to dine in whenever we have any occasion or if we are just craving for anything. However, this particular experience changed our view about this place. I don’t think we’ll go back at this place ever again!
- Service was horrible, we were ignored from the time we sat on our table. The server never even attempted to check on us. While she is constantly asking the 2 tables in front of us about their food or if they need anything.
- Food too salty and undercooked. I had a cod, way to salty and i had to remove the top to make it edible. The mac and cheese was cold and the risotto was undercook. My friend got a steak, under seasoned and the fries were waaay too salty.
The whole entire time, our server is nowhere to be found. Walking past us without “acknowledging” us. We just decided to call it a day and call her for the check, even for that never asked our experience just stood there and grabs our food. I told her the risotto was undercooked and bad. She offered to remove it on our bill and the manager offered the gift card but we decline. We cannot go back with that place.
Our server is just profiling who should she treat better."

Yes, another chain, but we’ve been going to Bonefish Grill for years and we’ve always enjoyed it. Though I have ordered an entree and enjoyed it, I’d still prefer to share several appetizers like the Ahi Tuna Poke or the Beef & Ginger Potstickers. Everyone who knows this restaurant raves about those Bang Bang Shrimp, and with good reason.
