The staff here is on point. Professional, experienced and friendly. I only sit at the bar but I have observed the quality of service from afar at tables. The food is delicious. My steaks are always cooked perfectly. I recommend the Filet, the Kobe Burger, the Crab Cakes and the Mussels. The management is solid and it is reflective on the staffs interactions with guests. I can go a month without being there and when return they always remember me and treat me like a VIP. Bottom line: sit at the bar and enjoy the great food and service. read more

This is a hard review to write..my husband and I eat at Bonefish at least once a month. We usually get the same thing everytime. This past week I received an email about a Mixed Grill special, so we decided to try that...the portion was extremely small, and overpriced. To top it off we had a horrible server. I am not sure if he was new or what was going on but we hardly saw him througout our meal. He spilled a large amount of olive oil on our table. He was very awkward and quiet. We could hardly hear him when he did speak. Guess we will be finding a new place to dine..oh well. read more

I had a great experience here with the service and the food. We got the Pad Thai and the fish tacos. Fish tacos were just ok, but the Pad Thai was great. We also had the lamp lollipops and loved them. Our server was nice and we enjoyed ourselves. Nothing super stupendous, but a good meal out for a date night! read more

I have had most of the menu items and although good they do not stand out for me. There are better seafood options in town for the price. Best bet is to go for happy hour, best deal in town at those times. The crab cakes are small and not the best. The bang bang shrimp is very good which is what they are known for. read more

Bonefish has a formula that works. Service is always good to excellent. Food is too. Nobody makes bang bang shrimp like they do. Full bar with pretty good bartenders. Okay wine list though pricey for the selections. I eat her quarterly so fairly regularly. read more

Love this place the point system the bar the food however the happy hour menu should be expanded and the crab cakes need to be more than 2 for the price read more

Positive: They have a wood burning oven which cooks splendid fish and whatever else they put in there. There fish seemed fresh enough. Negative: The food seems uninspired. For instance both my and my girlfriends sauce on our fish were very syrupy and sugar isn't an adequate replacement for good flavor on a main course. The sides were plain and clearly cheap to prepare. The salad featured romaine which had seen better days. Its a chain, although I had never heard of it before. The service wasn't great. The questions I asked the waiter to which they replied 'I don't know' included: from what culinary origin did one of their sauces come (i had never heard of it before and it did not have a description but it was something along the lines of chimichuri); I also asked if the pan Asian sauce got its name because it was an Asian sauce prepared in a pan or because it was pan-asian (as in a conglomerate of various Asian sauces); I wanted to ask what flours they used in their freshly baked bread but was scared to harass him further. They also brought my girlfriend the wrong side dish. Summary: Go to a local fish joint and get fish that isn't flavored mainly with sugar where the servers care about the product they are feeding you. read more

Such a great family spot! We bring my gf's grandma here every year for her b day. They give her the free chocolates and a free appetizer which is always so nice! We alway start with the pot stickers, then move to the bang bang shrimp. Last night we tried the bacon wrapped scallops which were amazing.For an entree I always go with the salmon and green beans with steamed broccoli. Their happy hour prices are great as well. Last night they were $5 martini's which we indulged in. read more

Always a hit here. Great food, awesome service and a cozy atmosphere! Start with the Bang Bang shrimp

I am a native Cincinnatian, and have really enjoyed this restaurant since it opened. I have been away for a couple years, however, and things have certainly changed. I dined with my parents and a friend, with two of us having fish...salmon and grouper...and the other two ordering filet mignon. The grouper was slightly overdone, but the rest of the dishes were very good. My biggest complaint are the "crab cakes." Bonefish used to have amazing crab cakes, but what they are serving now are quite disgusting. Instead of being lightly breaded and pan fried, as they should be, they are now simply baked crab meat crumbles...sort of like crab meat casserole?? Anyway, visually not appealing...and also lack the flavor and texture of a properly prepared crab cake. I sent it back and sent for the manager to ask what the heck was going on in the kitchen....the manager told me that all of their restaurants are now doing this and tried to explain how it is a better preparation...i wonder if she has actually tried these abominations??? I heard the table next to us making similar comments about the crab cakes, and I just hope the management listens to it's customers. read more

Crowded on Mother's Day, but seated reasonably quickly with a reservation. Service was prompt and attentive. Food was good, but not great.

Bonefish is one of my favorite restaurants. I've only been to the one in Hyde Park -- and it is fantastic every time whether it's Sunday brunch, Saturday lunch, or evening. read more

I was at Bonefish this past Friday. It was my first time being there with a few friends. Our servers name was Ellie, she was very friendly and super knowledgeable of the menu which was crucial when helping me decide the excellent meal I picked. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and definitely will be returning in the future! read more

This is the best seafood restaurant in town!! My family loves coming here for special occasions and family gatherings. It's even great for people who don't like seafood because they have beef and chicken options that are delicious. I get the Lily's chicken every time and it is amazing! The staff is always very friendly and the place is always immaculate. Our favorite place! read more

Dinner was great as was dessert. We walk outside and it had just started to rain. One of the hosts was outside with an umbrella waiting to walk guests to their car! Wow! read more

Every time I go out to dinner with my Godfather he wants to go to Bonefish Grill. And every time I end up starting with the Bang Bang Shrimp and following with the Halibut. Last night was the same as every other visit to BFG: DELICIOUS! read more

Excellent,you will not leave hungry.The appetizers are plentiful and dinner portions justify the price.The grilled swordfish is wonderful.

Went there for my first time on New Year's eve and it was amazing. I made reservations and we were seated right away. The food was excellent, We ordered the bang bang shrimp for a appetizer and I ordered the Seabass. The service was very nice. My date and I had no complaints. read more

The food is amazing..would definitely recommend the bang bang shrimp if you like spicy. Has a dimly lit romantic atmosphere and great wine and service. Some tables are close together..get a booth read more

Stopped by for a light dinner on Tuesday. Chicken salad and spouse ordered fish & chips. Just a quick bite. Sat near bar in spacious booth. Very predictable atmosphere will go again soon. read more

I stopped at the Bonefish for lunch, I've never ate at this location before. The service I had received was the best I've had in a very long time. My steak was undercooked but easily fixed to be a true "medium". The menu is pretty pricey but the atmosphere is still informal. read more

We dine at this location frequently. The staff is friendly and attentive, the chef is top notch, and the food is always delicious and occasionally mind blowing. read more

My dad loves this place. I like it as well but do not love it but I will say the food is mostly excellent. The bang bang shrimp is amazing here thou. They also make a great Kobe Beef burger. I would recommend this place, the food is excellent for the price you pay. read more

We were there for a group brunch one Sunday. Everybody left the restaurant pleased and satisfied. The setting, service, and food.

We have been to this Bonefish Grill many times. They do a great job. Yes, restaurants must have good food but too many fail when the entire meal is served. A restaurant meal is not an event; it is an experience. At BG they not only prepare good food but they TRAIN their wait staff. Tonight we had Hannah who is one of their trainers. It was easy to see why. She knew the drink ingredients and character as completely as she knew the food menu. Such professionalism makes the meal. So, quality food is a given for a restaurant but professional service is a close second. So many times has great cooking succumbed to amateur service. read more

One of our go to restaurants as they have amazing food! Love their tuna bowl and we've always had great customer service.

Went here a couple weeks ago and had the salmon with the lime tomato garlic sauce. Our server Courtney recommended it, it was so good! Best salmon I've ever had! 5 Stars, definitely recommend! read more

Wow - I had never been to the Bonefish Grill before about a week ago, and let me just say - INCREDIBLE! I said many times that I have not left a restaurant that satisfied in a long, long time. I had the Ahi Tuna (and Bang Bang Shrimp Appetizer) and it was excellent! The service was also better than I have ever received. The waiter knew everything about the menu, gave insight on what was what and provided helpful suggestions. He even personally went and got our salads for us because he thought we might be missing them (turns out another waiter had just brought them) and said he just wanted to make sure we had them and he would rather make more than be missing them. HIGHLY recommended. read more

I'm absolutely in love. I'm from LA and I have access to a lot of good food, but this place was FANTASTIC. If you're trying to find somewhere to eat tonight, go here. Hands down. Let me describe my first ever meal at Bonefish: First, I had the complimentary bread with olive oil and pesto. I ate so much of it, that I was certain I wouldn't be able to eat anything else, but then our appetizer came. Bacon-wrapped scallops. I usually hate scallops because I don't like their texture and they're usually tasteless, but the crunchy bacon and flavorful mango sauce made it to die for. Finally came my meal. I very rarely order fish because it's usually too dry, but I figured 'seafood restaurant...I should get seafood.' Good choice on my part. My wild caught salmon was perfect with the lemon butter sauce. Garlic whipped mashed potatoes and broccoli were both perfectly seasoned. I ate every bite. Every. Bite. Note: I went there a second time and ordered the Chilean Sea Bass (it was starred on the menu) with the herb pesto sauce. I found it was a tad fatty and the sauce was more tangy than I was in the mood for. So if you're choosing between Salmon and Sea Bass, I suggest Salmon. If you're deciding between herb pesto and lemon butter, I vote lemon butter. Now for the service. Everyone there was incredibly nice. Special shout outs to Billy and Mary!! Honestly, they were beyond friendly and made sure that our needs were met. I'm just under 21, so I can't speak to their alcohol selection, but my dad seem to enjoy the wines he tried. I found the non-alcoholic drinks just a tad too sweet, but that's probably just my preference. As for their non-fish options - I tried my dad's filet mignon...fantastic. Overall, I totally recommend Bonefish for your dining endeavors!! read more

Love the shrimp and scallops. Also great Manhattans. Staff is so helpful and so friendly. I always park so easily . Ambiance is fun, urban read more

Wednesday is popular Bang Bang Shrimp night, so I made a reservation for 6:30, knowing the place would be packed. At 6:45, my friend (who is elderly and physically handicapped) and I had not been seated. When I asked the hostess how much longer our wait would be, she said there simply weren't any tables available because it was a "super busy night". At 7:00, we were still waiting, and I went to the hostess stand again, this time to complain. Again, I was informed there were "simply no tables available". Apparently, this restaurant does not understand the mechanics of how a reservation works (remember the Seinfeld episode where Jerry tries to pick up his "reserved" rental car?). Finally, at 7:10, we were seated, and our server took our drink order. Fifteen minutes later we got our drinks. We waited another 15 minutes before our server took our order. When our food did come (in a reasonable amount of time), part of it was missing. Ten minutes later, it finally appeared. We had to ask for our checks. We put our credit cards in the folders, and waited 10 minutes for the server to return with them. Mine was missing the part that I keep, so we went through the printing process again. Server returns with wrong check. Printing process again. Our "6:30 reservation" ended with our departure at 9:15. Bang Bang Shrimp was good but not worth nearly three hours of my time. read more

For a chain, it's really good. Great filet minon, pork loin, and salmon dishes. Good for groups and something on the menu for everyone. My family tends to come here for holiday dinners and the like. read more

SO and I had an anniversary dinner at Bonefish Grill early Saturday evening, the scene of our first date. If I could give 10 stars for service they would go to Billy. He was enthusiastic and extremely personable. His attention was impeccable, never intrusive and endearing as can be. I would go back just to see him! The food was very good. Cerviche could have used seasoning and a little bite, the mussels were good and our entrees of steak, heresy at a seafood place, were cooked perfectly. One of the best parts of the meal was the dipping oil that came with the bread. It was so delicious, so umami filled we dipped up every drop. The specialty martinis were potent and delicious, the coconut pie scrumptious. We had a fabulous time and felt we were in our own little love cocoon with Billy playing a part that will show up in our memories. Yay Bonefish, Bravo, Billy. read more

Bonefish Grill is the type of restaurant that seems to have a buzz...but maybe not a "must go" type urgency. In the spirit of full disclosure, American Express did rebate part of the meal for using its card, an arrangement that was not apparent from our experience. Bonefish is not on Open Table which would have been more convenient in making the reservation, but a phone call to the restaurant accomplished the same thing. Our short trip down 71 from Montgomery was extended due to a "ghost jam" - slow and go traffic that resolves in normal driving conditions - no accident, no police, nothing. Although late and having notified the restaurant that we would not be able to make our 6:45 reservation, we found the place packed. With our "pager" in hand (it is a chain after all) my wife and I settled into a before dinner drink in the bar. The bar area is vibrant and when in the right mood and with sufficient friends may well be a destination on its own. After a relatively short wait we were seated. The server was personable, but perhaps a little forced. "Jan" did a nice job despite a gaff regarding the wine for dinner - she brought two glasses of Coppola's Russian River Chardonnay rather than the bottle as ordered - did we look like a prom couple? Never mind, we exchanged theories on how such a thing could happen and moved on. The appetizer was Bang Bang shrimp and was worthy of its top billing - crispy, tasty and just enough to wish you had more. My wife ordered the Chilean Sea Bass and I had the Wolf Fish stuffed with crab and shrimp. The Sea Bass came with a selection of sauces - you're supposed to pick one, but Jan suggested all three since this was our first time. That more than made up for the wine issue. The serving size was mercifully appropriate and since Amex was expecting us to spend $50 on food alone - the reasonability of Bonefish pricing meant that we would have to order a starter, entree and dessert - the dessert....Key Lime pie with a graham cracker crust - excellent! In short the entrees were very good and the whole experience a very nice night out. I strongly recommend the Bonefish Grill as a great place for dinner, but also a casual upscale hangout for a Side Car, Bang Bang Shrimp and piece of Key Lime pie with friends. read more

breads great with olive oil and herb blend, sea bass is amazing, lobster tails great..pretty much can't go wrong here if u get seafood, and service has always been good to great. read more

Our server was very good. She was attentive, relaxed, friendly and really quite nice. My food was not good at all. I ordered the steak and crab cake. I asked about the crab cake and was told it was full of lump crab meat it was. But the crab cake was very small and very over done. I upgraded to the filet rather than sirloin. Ordered it medium rare to rare. The steak was well well done, very small and frankly I think it was the sirloin as it was quite difficult to chew. Our party was four. Two of us had bad food. I even had stomach cramps for about four hours after eating. I was more than disappointed. It was our anniversary and we were celebrating with two friends. Our wine was nice, our server great - but food, other than the bang bang shipments, was barely passable. Sorry but I may never go there again. read more

So on Saturday, I had a taste for some trout, and theirs is amazing! Unfortunately 45 minutes and 25 bucks later (2 martinis and 20% tip for the bar) , I had yet to be seated. After the hostess snubbed me we left. I immediately called spoke with the management who informed me they were fifteen minutes behind on their wait. The hostess claimed it was only three minutes, and with attitude. Ultimately I am put on hold so they can get my address to send a gift certificate. So today I excitedly open The Bonefish envelope only to find 2 complimentary Bang Bang shrimp appetizers. Um I'm allergic to shrimp so now I'm pissed all over again! ! No manager is available now to speak with me, so I'll speak to the world. I honestly never experience racism, or even pull the race card but if the shoe fits... I am a bartender, so I am always watching the front and back of the house. I observed folks being seated that arrived after us. So when Mom comes to visit from Cali, we will not in good conscious be able to spend ANY MORE money with The Bonefish Grill in Hyde Park!!! Seriously now I have to look else where for a trout prepared gluten free. :( Thanks for nothing Bonefish Grill! read more

Service was Excellent. We were seated for our 8:15 reservation within 2 minutes. Monet was our server and she was professional and wonderful. She accommodated our inquiries about the wine with rapid sampling and our final selections were generous pours. We got a glass of the most expensive and a glass of the cheapest cabernets. I can't remember another restaurant that offers a great pour of a cab for $5. Our corn/crab soup was tasty, the Bang Bang Shrimp also a winner. We thought our 2 orders of Sea Bass weren't the best. We speculate that it came from frozen. It lacked the sweetness that fresh sea bass has. We'd return. The wait staff were all fantastic. When I left my wallet behind, they rushed out to find me. The restaurant must have had a major change when you compare recent reviews to those in 2013. read more

Been here many many times from business events to dinner with family and friends. I have tried to like this place and I have failed. I cannot see why they are a successful chain and people love it. I think I have had everything on the menu from the bang bang shrimp to the steak and lobster. The price tag that this requires is what really does it in for me. What I would expect from a place where a seat is over $50 is much better. My last experience was probably the worst. My mother and sister wanted to give it a whirl so I hesitantly agreed but I did give them a forewarning. We all had the lobster bisque or what they considered a lobster bisque. What came out was a buttery and salty tomato soup... Lobster bisque you know you would expect lobster right? Well I am pretty sure there was only a quarter size piece of crab in it. There was not any crab or lobster flavor at all just salty tomato soup. Then came our entrée my mother decided on the salmon and I the Bang Bang tacos. Sister went with a plain salad. Bang bang tacos are glorified shrimp tacos. You cant really mess that up until you add soggy lettuce and shrimp to it; thus giving you a soggy taco. Last time I checked hard tacos are well... Hard. The salmon, mash and spaghetti squash usually is a good choice. I normally get this and am fairly satisfied. Unfortunately this time they forgot to add the sauce and toppings to the salmon and mash. What she received instead was a ladel full of mash, dry plain salmon and plain steamed squash. I will say I have been here before and I would rate it a 3 star at best but this time it is definitely a 1. read more

I loved this restaurant! The ambiance was indicative of a nice place to unwind after a noisy day at work. I met my husband there at 7:00 PM and we had friends arriving at 7:30 so we ordered coffee and a beer and sat and talked. The waitress was non-intrusive, yet present, and the background music was soothing when you noticed it. Our company arrived on time and we ordered our meal. My husband and I got the largest rib-eye on the menu and split it. After I tasted the steak sauce, I was so sorry I didn't get my own steak! The steak sauces are optional and I highly recommend them! I had the mushroom-bacon steak sauce and I thought I was in heaven. Our guests raved also about the mushroom sauce. I ordered the crab fried rice and again, I was loving every minute of it. Wow. Subtle and yet very powerful flavors. They kept our coffee going and the waitress was soft-spoken, informative and non-intrusive. She was very respectful of the fact that people are there for a dinning experience and not for a show. We stayed for 2.5 hours and ordered the key lime pie and pumpkin creme brulee which again were superb! Well done, Bonefish Grill! We'll definitely be back. read more
