The entire experience was really great. We had a great table mates. The food, service, decorations, drinks exceeded my expectations. This was my 3rd pairing event and I will be attending more!!!
I usually walk into big-box chain restaurants with pretty modest expectations. The food is usually fine, the service is fine, but nothing that makes me want to rush home and tell people about it. Yesterday, though, Bonefish Grill completely flipped that script.
From the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely welcomed. The host seated us quickly, and then we met our waiter, Nick. Let me just say, Nick deserves a standing ovation. He struck that rare balance of checking on us just enough without hovering. Professional, friendly, and on top of things the whole time. Honestly, he set the tone for the entire meal.
We had our drinks refilled without ever needing to ask, and the bread they bring out… wow. Whoever decided that bread should come free deserves a raise. It was warm, fresh, and disappeared way too quickly.
For dinner, I went with the fish and chips, which hit the spot. I asked for a lemon, and Nick didn’t just bring me one, he brought me a grilled lemon. That is the kind of above-and-beyond detail you don’t even think to ask for. Meanwhile, my wife, Tracy, had the Baja fish tacos, specially made less blackened because she didn’t want too much spice. She loved them.
Then came dessert: a seasonal fall cheesecake that looked like it belonged in a food magazine. And the best part? It tasted every bit as good as it was presented. Rich, creamy, and honestly one of the best slices of cheesecake I can remember having.
Here’s the funny thing. We weren’t even planning on going to Bonefish Grill. We were heading to Char Bar originally, but they were closed. At first, I was disappointed, but now I’m thankful. If Char Bar had been open, we would have missed out on one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a long time.
So to Nick and the staff at Bonefish Grill: well done. You turned what could have been an ordinary chain restaurant dinner into something memorable. We will definitely be back.

I originally ordered the black pepper udon, but it didn’t come out right and had to be sent back. The team handled it quickly and replaced it with the creamy tomato linguine, which was much better prepared and full of flavor.
Special thanks to Crystal, Steven, Lisa, and AARYANNA each of them went above and beyond to make sure my experience was positive. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and friendliness made all the difference.
The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and despite the hiccup with the first dish, the overall experience was excellent thanks to the outstanding staff.
I recommend a family or just a place to come vibe.

I haven't been here in two years because of the way I was treated by servers and management.
But tonight a different story, because of NEW management and a new Bartender
Rodney Martin. Very nice young man and a great Bartender, plus he went the Extra mile and made my drinks and food order Perfect!!
This time I'll be back more Often.

Attended the wine dinner this evening. More than 1/2 were missing. Perhaps a deposit when reserving should be added. Meal, wine and service was great!

Wow. Awful food... great service and good ambience. I don't write many reviews, but given the prices and the terrible food quality... I had to post something.
Super salty chowder. Seriously overcooked scallops and shrimp (rubbery texture). Mushy vegetables. Dried out cake. Each course brought new hope... followed by dismal failures.
Service was excellent and the place is well appointed for a chain restaurant. Just don't eat here.

Our server Nick was attentive and phenomenal! All of the food was served in a timely manner and was very delicious. We got a Mango Creme Brulee that is genuinely one of the best desserts I’ve had in a while!! 10/10 experience.
