“Excellent patio set up. Well stocked bar with tasty cocktails. Swanky decor. Creative menu. Professional staff. Very nice wine list with higher end options.“

“The atmosphere is great, and the food is both delicious and reasonably priced. One thing that really stood out was the attentive service. it's rare to find a restaurant in Raleigh with so many waitstaff. I also appreciated their sleek black uniforms, which added a nice touch to the overall vibe. The manager was incredibly friendly and made a point to walk to each table to check in with customers, ensuring everyone was satisfied.“

“If I could give y’all a hundred stars I would! We had about 30 people coming together for my birthday. I had been in communication with a different restaurant (Cowfish) for over a month preparing because 30 people at a restaurant is NOT a small feat! They decided to give me a hard time the night of and were not really willing to accommodate us. We decided to find another restaurant. I immediately knew that NO ONE was going to be able to accommodate 30 people on a Saturday Evening but I was wrong! BONEFISH to the rescue! Before we even got across the street the tables were pushed together and prepped with menus water and silverware! Not only that even with a party of our size everything was executed perfectly! The food was delicious, we had a great time, the managers were friendly, and our server was the GREATEST (especially to be new to serving large parties.) I even loved my little art work on my to go box! We love intentionality! Shout out to Rasheive! All in all it was a 10/10 night, with 10/10 people in a 10/10 restaurant! Definitely coming back. ❤️“

From the minute we walked into the restaurant until the moment we walked out, I have nothing but great things to say about this restaurant. i honestly believe it was one of the best dining experiences I have ever had.

“HIGH PRAISE for the entire staff at Seasons 52! From the moment we walked through the door, we were greeted by an exceptionally friendly gentlemen behind the HOST desk. Andy. This set the tone for a stellar dining experience from our servers Nikki and a new server trainee...Ian. Our table of 4 was celebrating a 90th birthday and 2 of the 4 guests had never been to Seasons 52 and are sure to return. The kitchen delivered promptly and to our highest food satisfaction. Everything was DELIcious, beautifully presented and the temps of all of our meals as spot on. Our entire DINING experience was something so rarerly seen in even very high restaurants. THANK YOY SEASONS 52 for always remaining true to who you started out to be many years ago.“

“Loved it !!! Next time I’m turning all the way up! This was a lil bit lol“

“Our server Alexander did a great job! Very attentive and took care of us, as we needed to move to a different location inside the tests due to someone having on too much perfume. And, Myles did a great job of keeping our glasses full. Food was delicious, we had the bacon in Korean BBQ sauce and the beet salad. My husband had the sea bass, cooked perfectly and I had the sliced filet, also cooked perfectly. For our side we had AU gratin potatoes and they were tender and all was delicious. For dessert we had the coconut pie. Fantastic! A great evening out.“

“That lobster tail was nice and hot and juicy and good. As you can see the picture tells you what I had and then today August 9 I went in for my dad‘s birthday and got tequila sunrise and he got the Tres amigos margarita. Definitely need light ice next time for my tequila Sunrise because he got water down quickly. Next time I will just come for drinks, but the food was good.“

“music should be in the background 'background music' unless it is a hard rock cafe, etc. else it forces everyone to yell or be unable to hear everything. i'm not going to write anything about the server since except for rudely condescending to an honest question about the menu, she did not speak to me the rest of the time i was there nor check on me, etc etc Fortunately there were several other staff around who assisted me during my visit!“

“This store is a gem. It has an amazing variety, astonishingly good prices, and excellent service. They will clean the fish for you and there's a stand where you can buy lunch. They also have a great variety of louisiana-based products.“

“The service was phenomenal, exceeding all expectations. Amber was so personable and friendly as our server. They even surprised us with a happy anniversary card and gift of chocolates.“

“Absolutely amazing service was great and the atmosphere was amazing“

“Excellent service from door to bar to table. wonderful atmosphere, very intimate and beautifully lit setting. Bartenders were awesome; Salad bar was so delicious and offered every imaginative salad topping you can think of with delicious dressings; Tableside cuts of Ribeyes were mouthwatering, tender & juicy-no sauces needed, perfectly seasoned and cooked over woodfire. Just really cant say enough wonderful things about this steakhouse! Worth our Hour drive and will definitely be back!! 5 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟“

“25 years ago during SummerSlam, Jim Ross did a plug for this restaurant. I’ve always wanted to stop and eat here. I finally got to do it. My New York Strip steak was cooked perfectly. The desserts were awesome. I was not disappointed by this place. The staff was friendly, the drinks were good, and I loved all the atmosphere of this place. When I’m in Raleigh I for sure will come back.“

“Great place for fried fish and shrimp. Very clean place and great customer service.
Their lunch specials are very reasonable during the week and their lemonade is yummy.
Weekends we get the 10 piece whiting platter, fried shrimp, and their chicken wings. Yup you heard me right …their chicken wings are so good. We ask them to fry the French fries crispy and get mamba sauce to dip them in. Their hush puppies are good especially when you dip it in mamba sauce. Everything is tasty and I love the cornmeal crispiness of the fish, it’s great on the heat up the next day.
Their prices went up a little since the summer time, but that’s to be expected since they are popular and well..the economy.“

“My parents had been coming here since they opened years ago, and my mom and I try to come at least once a week still. The food is always amazing, not a single item I wouldn't recommend from the menu. The service is always amazing and food comes out quick. Never too long a wait even when it's packed. The people are also amazing. They are wonderful and take care of everyone. Great people, great food, great service all the time.“

“Food was great and I love the service from Anthony the guy was everywhere helping everyone!!!“

“The food and service was great!“

“Desde que llegas hasta que te vas todo es genial servicio, ambiente comida en fin todo. Gracias la terraza por sus atenciones“

“This place is a hidden gem! The food is delicious, proportions are great, and it's incredibly well-priced. I don't care who you are, I promise this place will exceed your expectations. Whether you want a quick meal or to sit down for a lunch/dinner date, this place has you covered in every way. I wish the name were different and/or the outside appearance was representative of the experience itself. I feel it's incumbent on me to write this review because I strongly believe this place does not get the love it deserves.“

“Amazing 38 flavors and fresh food. 👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“We just had a wonderful dinner at San Jose. We sat outside. Our waiter, Ray, was excellent too! Thank you.“

“Visited red lobster again..... and again, no salad! This is second time in 3 months i was told they have no lettuce. Say what??? Food is always very good.... but why no salad?“

“Ate lunch here today and our waitress was awesome and the sushi chief brought us 2 free sushi dishes to try. My husband got the fried fish and it was so fresh and good. They bring you out house made pork skins too. Wonderful experience. Will definitely be back! Highly recommend!“

“Generous portions, friendly service.

The Alaskan skinless flounder taste like trout. The baby flounder is a good tasting product, but the pieces are small. The grouper taste somewhat like grouper or paciffic cod, so I do like that. The small shrimp and large shrimp are both good.

A side of Alaskan sno crab legs is available with an entrée. They are great, but I really don't need butter or seasoning on the legs themself, and the buttery dip was not good. Luckily, the crab was cooked perfectly and taste good alone.

Hush puppies, slaw, baked potato, and green beans are all good.“

“We had an excellent dinner for our group this evening. We had a large group, we were seated and served very quickly. I would absolutely recommend this for a great dinner and wonderful staff. Scott, Rick and Susan went above and beyond to make sure our experience was wonderful.“

“We decided to celebrate my son‘s 22nd birthday here tonight, I had reserved a table for 14 about a month ago and was surprised when we got there and they had a table for 10 of us and then a separate table for four of us. I wasn't thrilled about my party, not all sitting together so they quickly accommodated us and moved us to a table.That would see all 14. There were no food runners so our waitress had a lot on her plate, but she was very nice and I would definitely go back here and celebrate again. The food was amazing. We had appetizers and dessert and everything was great and came out quickly and taste amazing.“

“Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere for our USPS meet up on Wednesday August 9.“

“Everything ❤️ food and hospitality was great“
