Although we miss Ari, every server has been top notch. I think we’ve made it through the entire menu and every dish has been flavorful and delicious. This weekend the lobster rigatoni special, even the noodles were full of flavor - not just the sauce over them. We always try each other’s dishes. Crab cakes have become our favorite app - we get two orders! The back deck is very nice and has heaters. Handicap ramp in the back as well. Wonderful cocktails too!
Nice, popular place with good food and friendly wait staff. The snapper was pretty good and my friend liked the Ragin Cajun Pasta. I would definitly like to come back to try another dish. It's fun to sit at the bar and look out at what's going on over at the lake.

Staff was very nice. 10 stars for them. The food however was bland. The calamari in the bouillabaisse was chewy and awful.
Our meal was really good. You get a lot of food. Friendly service.

My husband was recommended Fishbones about a year or so ago while trying to surprise me with a new date night restaurant and we've been hooked since! We tend to go around noon - 1PM on Saturdays or Sundays now and sit at the bar for some cocktails before we're hungry enough for food. Every cocktail has been amazing and the bartenders are so well organized and passionate about each drink. Because of the effort of each drink, it takes a moment to receive, which we completely understand. When overwhelmed with many orders, the bartenders are very communicative with us, which we appreciate - they're a busy place, can't fault them for that! I'm partial to the Louisiana Gatorade, but recently tried the Breakfast Old Fashioned and was very impressed! That bacon, YUM! My husband recently tried the Bayou Bloody Mary and was happy with all the goodies it was topped with and loved the drink! He and I have differing tastes when it comes to Bloody Mary's - he prefers a bitter Bloody while I prefer salty/savory. I will say that this Bloody falls more on the bitter side. I am OBSESSED with their grouper tacos! The grouper is always flakey, I prefer the traditional style versus Bone's style (personal preference, but both are great) and the rice and beans are perfection! It's so hard for me to order anything else knowing how good these are! My husband changes things up each visit and swoons over every meal. On our latest visit I deviated from my usual order and we opted to split the blackened grouper strips and the pork mini quesadillas. Both were great! Christian has been the regular bartender for most of the summer, but this weekend there was a new bartender, Dylan. Dylan was equally great and for being as young as he is, I was genuinely impressed!

Absolutely pleasure to dine here. Wife and I try to get here as often as possible. We have over an hour each way to get there and it is worth every minute! Great friendly and helpful staff. A wide selection of specialty cocktails and the food in amazing!

Great place but loud, crowded tight fit with the tables. Was disappointed as last time the food was really phenomenal but lost some quality in the flavor this time…very bland, lacking spice and flavor. The prices have gone up and quality gone down. 😕 We had reservations 2 days before and asked to be seated in the lower room, was confirmed but didn’t get seated there…was right outside the kitchen door…so loud was annoying and uncomfortable to be there! Won’t be going back unless something changes. Ugh 😣

We got a new waitress, no problem. Very shy & quiet. We ordered and got the wrong food. It happens. No problem. She came out with the specials menu, and pointed to what she thought we ordered. We then pointed on the regular menu to what we ordered. We got our second round of food and it was incorrect again. Got the manager, he said he would put in another order for correct food and it would be approximately 10-15 minutes. I said no, thank you.I'm starving, I will eat it but pick out the fish. He then offered 2 meals to go and said he would comp it. I said no thank you, but my husband said he would take an order to go. We got an order to go but nothing was comped and there was no apology from the waitress apparently because she was embarrassed. Unacceptable.
This is one of our favorite spots, and all I can say is that a new job has learning curve, and I understand! But in order to be in the service industry you definitely need an outgoing personality and the ability to apologize when you make a mistake. Im not sure I will return any time soon. But if I do, I will sit at the bar. The bar staff is ALWAYS great!

We had Red Snapper and Grouper. Both were over a large pile of weird greens and rice. Rice tasted like it was from a box and both fish screamed for more cajun seasoning.

A great place to spend a cool summer day on the patio. Food is very good and the service is fast. They allow dogs on the patio. I recommend the tacos, ceviche, and the cream brulee is bomb!

My husband, son (10 y/o) and I went there last night for dinner. Between the 3 of us we ordered the Blackened Snapper, the Seafood Lasagna, Jambalaya and Calamari appetizer. The food was AWESOME. My son is already begging to go back. Service was great too, everyone was busting their backs since it was so busy. Cannot recommend enough.
Editing to add, we have been here many times since. The food and service is always fantastic. The key lime martinis, crab cakes & voodoo fondue are always delightful.

As a resident from Louisiana, who searches for Cajun Food while being stationed here, this is the best I’ve had. Our server was Nick and he was amazing, nothing but smiles and rapid service with good, hot decently seasoned food. The only downside is there was no sweet tea. I urge Fishbone to add good black sweet tea to the menu!

Words can't describe how great that place is so very shortly - food is amazing! Everything we had there was top notch starting from soup and appetizers to the main dish. Fish is amazing and cooked to perfection. Sauces and pairing with vegetables is right on point and doesn't nothing but complement the star of the show which is fish (pretty much any since we had a few different ones and all were spectacular). I didn't take any pictures of the dishes (my cell reception there was very bad so I didn't even take my phone out of the pocket the whole meal), but I can assure you, everything looked great and tasted even better. Highly recommend and will definitely be back for more. Also, coming from a big city, prices were great - great meal for two, many drinks with tip under $150. Highly recommend!
