    I come to the Bonefish Grill weekly and have never had a bad dish. We came for lunch and sat outside. The blackened chicken sandwich was juicy and cooked just right. My wife had the fish and chips, which she said were crispy and great tasting and plenty for a lunch special. Our waitress was very attentive and gracious during our stay. Will always go back for the food and service, which makes the restaurant experience the best!!

    We were celebrating my husband’s birthday! The hostess was very friendly and welcoming which set the tone. My husband had the filet, medium rare and I had the seared sea bass with a diff of suggestion potatoes and ceasar salad to start. The food was cooked perfectly and very delicious. Our server, Melissa, was beyond amazing. She anticipated all our needs, was friendly, professional and really worked hard to ensure our dining experience was perfect. I finished with deli crème brûlée and the house made my husband’s birthday cake a celebration plate with mini flourless espresso/ chocolate cake and cheesecake with fresh berries and whipped cream. It was both beautiful and delicious. We look forward to returning very soon!

    I did have a fabulous experience for lunch yesterday. There were five ladies and we were all truly impressed with this restaurant. I always like to walk in and see beautiful, clean white tablecloth on the table. The staff was extremely polite, and service was outstanding. I would recommend this to anybody, especially if you like Greek to as much as me. We all ordered different dishes plus three appetizers. Way too much food but it was nice to experience all the different flavors. I hope you go!!
