This is not a regular fish restaurant. Portions are really big just like the check you receive. Fish is tasty. We tried all different cooking types of salmon and grill was the best. I do not suggest onion rings as they came too big and not properly cooked. French fries and fish and chips were delicious. They do not have paper towels in bathrooms and there is no foot opener attached to door. So you have to touch the bathroom door handle. What if previous person did not wash his/her hands?That is why I am giving 4 stars.

We walked out. If you do not mind sitting right on top of the table next to you then give it a shot. This place is VERY small. We were seated in the middle of two tables that was about 10 inches (if that) apart from us on both sides making it VERY uncomfortable. We sat for about a minute at the table having the guy to my left staring at me and the lady to my right all upset because she had to move all her shopping bags so my wife could sit. Also parking for this restaurant is difficult. We will not be back. Hey, give it a shot if ya want but Good Luck!!!

The wine list do not match what they serve to your table. I ordered Migration Pino Noir 2017 Russian Valley bottle from the vine list, and server delivered Migration Pino Noir 2021 Sonoma Cost, which is a cheaper vine. Manager blamed their distributor, and did not do any price correction.

Fishbones is a good restaurant overall, but if you read the reviews here there are some things that keep it from being great. First, it is a busy and crowded place that does not take reservations. That is a turn off for me, as I am just not into waiting hours for a meal. They do offer call ahead which may or may not work out. We've been a few times now and have found the service to be friendly, but not always efficient. You might have to search out for your wait staff wondering where they might be. As others have mentioned, it is a very loud environment and not best for conversations without shouting. Cocktails here are generous and strong, and I think fairly priced. On our last visit we started with the bacon wrapped scallops in maple syrup. Pricey, but cooked perfectly and delicious. Everybody in our dinner party was happy with their dinner, but I felt mine was the weakest. I tried the mixed grilled seafood, which was a generous portion overall and included shrimp, salmon and swordfish. My disappointment in the dish was that the fish was dry, overcooked and lacking in seasoning. By contrast, the broiled swordfish plate was cooked perfectly and nicely seasoned. The pasta dishes served looked great. Clearly enough people are pleased with Fishbones as it is always packed. You can find better seafood options, but overall I think they do a good job here.

I became violently ill and threw up my entire meal within hours of getting home. I sent them a message on Facebook informing them but they viewed the message and ignored it. No one has reached out yet or acknowledged it at all. I spent over $100 to just vomit it back up and then be ignored.

Love their food and drinks! I have never had bad service here and the atmosphere is very inviting. The only disadvantage is they do not take reservations but it is worth the wait! The staff is friendly, the restaurant is clean and the prices are reasonable

Really inconsistent. I used to love this place 2 years ago. Last time I went in person it took over an hour to get our food. Quality and quantity of the food has gone down unfortunately. Barely any seafood in orders now. Takeout is worse than dining
