This is our favorite restaurant in town!!! Wonderful atmosphere and never a bad meal. Vegetables come fairly crisp so be sure to ask the server is you prefer them otherwise. read more

Come on guys...you can fdo alot better...another chain being run by kids... They are buiding a Bonefish in my hometown of South Windsor Ct and I have been telling people about it...but it needs to do a lot better than this one... Waiting list..OK...only fifteen minutes...sat down and ordered the BB Shrimp, and dumpllings...a martini and a draft beer... ... the apps were just great ...after we finished the apps and were waiting for our entrees the server brought our drinks...like twenty minutes for a raft beer... get my point? The entrees ...looked like they had been made a long time ago...had the bass with Romesco sauce...a very traditional Spanish Tomato sauce thickened to a certain extent with almonds... Will someone please get a recipe and then taste this before you put it on an entree??? A little stock, salt and pepper would help...and add some basil or cilantro...not traditional but adds some contrast and color. It is a "sauce"...not a dollop of bland red pasty puree...ugh. My partner had Tilapia...the new Womder Bread of seafood. It is so unfortunate that the cost of seafood has skyrocketed that Tilapia is now the most common filet you see...it is vapid, bland, texture-less and boring...I'll bet the procurement guys at Bonefish got a great national deal on this non green, raised in a soup of chemicals, farm raised stuff...it was all over the menu. I have always thought of Bonefish as a poor mans "Legal Seafood"...they have nice people...great atmosphere...but the quality of the food has to get a step up... Back to the drinks...it would have been nice if our server had at least acted like she was aware the drinks took 20 minutes...she just sort of dropped them like it was no big deal...and yea...I said something...she blamed the bartender. read more

I want to give a fat zero stars but can't!!!! It was my parents 48th anniversary. I live in DC. I want to pay for their dinner, I would've bought them gift cards, if I knew where they wanted to eat. I've paid for dinner at places far superior to bonefish, I spoke to the girl that answered and she bluntly told me they aren't allowed to take payments. I was appalled. You think I'm going to call , give you my card on the the date my parents arrive, and you don't have any method of taking payment. What is this? Is your establishment this inept or technologically averse?. Where's management? I've eaten the food here mediocre at best, it will do for this town. Too salty. read more

Sitting here at the restaurant waiting for our check. The food was average at best. Kobe burger over cooked, cod picatta had no sauce. Martini had to go back as it had something floating in it. Our server was great, but to many issues. read more

Amazing food! Great hospitality! Our server Laura was very attentive! The manager, Brittany, stopped over a few times to check in on us and make sure everything was ok. We love coming here and we will definitely be back! read more

Had early dinner there tonight, Wednesday. 3/21/18. I thought the menu and specials were very good! Mother had the cod and I had the ahi tuna and ceviche. Nice wine list, and complementary bread was delicious. Our waitstaff, Hailey or Haley, she was most excellent. The whole ambience was just great. Will certainly return. read more

The only good food here was the bread. My boyfriend's mahi-mahi was a little kids potion. When I saw the check I could not believe it, so expensive for hardly any food. Will not come back. read more

Horrible service and worse food ever! Order the red snapper $28. And I kid you not I got maybe a 4oz portion! We were a party of 11 and not one enjoyed their entree. read more

Bonefish grill is always a treat. This particular day I went on "bang Wednesday" when they have their signature bang bang shrimp for 5$ an order as opposed to 9$. This shrimp is kind of what theyre known for, its breaded in panko bread crumbs and the spicy sauce is amazing! Needless to say I got two orders. I also ordered their baja fish tacos, I cant remember everything in it but its topped with a mango salsa thats really flavorful and kind of makes the taco. Service was meh, the 4 stars is for the food! Ill always come back for my beloved bang bang shrimp. read more

Bonefish Grill - Two orders of bang bang shrimp....so gooooood - Seafood Near Me - Lakeland, Florida

First time at this restaurant celebrating a birthday with friends. Service and drink orders were very slow coming out. Food was mediocre. Broccoli was undercooked, steak had a "stringy" texture. Taste was off as well. Not sure if a second visit will take place anytime soon as I was underwhelmed. read more

It's good. Calamari is super. You should go. It's a little to silent to burp so keep it fancy

Great food and very consistent. Service is usually good. Bartenders are just soso.great brunch on Sundays. Love the apps and I always am searching for good Florida seafood. This is as close as it gets. read more

The food is good here eat and the price is good for the amount of food you get. The service is really good. You get bread as a appetizer and if you get water you get a bottle to pour it in your cup when you need more which is good. So overall this place is really good to go to if you like seafood or just normal food. read more

Best restaurant in Lakeland! You can tell they care about the food quality. Perfect every time. read more

This was my first time coming to this restaurant. We were asked to go there for our 2018 company Christmas party. The food was phenomenal! However, I didn't like that me and my boss were waiting approximately 15 minutes after everyone else had gotten their main course. Not sure if they forgot about ours but most people were 3/4 of the way done with their food when our food barely came out. They also ended up forgetting all of our tables dessert. While people were already leaving home for the day, we were still waiting for our dessert. Not cool. I'll definitely give the restaurant another shot in the future. Just not crazy about my first experience here. read more

I guess we should have known if a place is not busy at peak hours on a Saturday night, there's probably a reason why. The best word I can use to describe our experience is "Disappointing". I came in expecting on the upper end of medium quality seafood. We started out on a high note with fantastic salads, delicious pesto bread and one of the best calamari appetizers I've had. However things took a sharp turn once we got to the entrees. Maybe it was just a bad night in the kitchen but we left talking with our party about how there are plenty of other consistently great seafood places in Lakeland I will happily be returning to over ever coming here again. Everyone at our table received cold food. The sides were mixed up, some were even missing and came out after more than half the meal was over. And to top it off the food was just plain not good, some even verging on straight up bad. It was not at all worth the wait or the price-tag. I could not urge anyone more to PLEASE spend your money elsewhere instead. read more

The food here was spectacular. I am not a big fan of seafood but after trying Bonefish Grill, I will be returning for a second visit. The firecracker shrimp was incredibly good! read more

Just returned to Bonefish last night and had another awesome evening. The service Joanna gave us, is a prime example of superior customer service. Love the Bang Bang Shrimp. My wife and I will be back. read more

Great place to go if your looking for a quiet atmosphere to enjoy a glass of wine with some really good seafood. My experience here overall was great and would definitely return here again. read more

Really? Food was good but you charged us for drinks in correctly, just be up front about drinks and charges, you charged me more to not dirty my martini, how stupid! Omg read more

Went last night with friends and the service was really terrible. No bread. 30 minute between visits from server. I mean you could find anyone to help for 30 minutes at a time. Empty drinks. Forgot my wife's dinner. We all sat at the table with food in front of us waiting for someone to check on us. Our calamari came out with about 10 little piece on it. My guess is someone drop half the order and just brought it out anyway. Food that did come out was fine. Standard bonefish. If we go back we will sit at the bar. Bartender seam better there. read more

The Brunch menu is a nice variety of yummy things. Appetizers are on point, I recommend the Bang Bang Shrimp. The BlackBerry house wine is so good. The martinis are wonderfully made. I definitely recommend trying them all. read more

Went in for dinner with family from out of state, to celebrate a birthday. There were 5 of us, and we were seated promptly, even though it was nearly 7pm on a Saturday night. The food was absolutely wonderful; my husband's steak was perfect, my Chilean sea bass practically melted in my mouth, and everyone else was thoroughly satisfied with their meals. The desserts were fabulous, too. This was probably the best Bonefish we've ever eaten at, and we have eaten at many all over the country. I can't say enough about our server, Emily. She was attentive, personable, extremely friendly, and an all around amazing server. We highly recommend this restaurant, and will definitely be back ourselves. Hopefully we'll be lucky enough to have Emily as our server again in the future. read more

A wonderful experience top to bottom. Prompt and attentive staff coupled with delicious food and drinks made our visit great. Travis (our server) was genuinely nice and provided phenomenal service. read more

Very dissapointed in how we were treated. After being told to sit anywhere we wanted in the bar area we were told we would have to move as the booth we sat in was "reserved". Nothing on the table saying reserved. We were treated as if WE had done something wrong. No apology, no offer to seat us somewhere else, just told to move. Bonefish needs to teach there employees, customer and people skills. We walked out of Bonefish without dinner! read more

It's hard to find places in Polk County with really good seafood. Although I am not a fan of chain restaurants, I am a fan of this particular bonefish. The many times we've been here, our service has been knowledgeable and friendly. We've yet to find "our server" to request because they're all good honestly. I ALWAYS get bang bang shrimp, it is to die for. The salmon is good too. You can count on your server to make a good wine selection. read more

Have always enjoyed going to Bonefish for dinner. However tonight was different, definitely not an enjoyable experience. Service was slow, waitress took for ever to get our drinks, and generally seemed disinterested. Very disappointing dinner read more

our waiter Josh was amazing, his knowledge regarding the menu along with making suggestions was beyond excellent. more importantly, the food was hot and delicious. read more

As a long time and frequent customer of Bonefish, I was recently disappointed in a menu special chopping. Too much tomato paste and no fresh tomatoes. read more

My husband had a gift card to use and we picked to use it on Bonefish Grill. It was a Sunday afternoon and was best choice we did. It was not crowded for our surprise and having a few booth tables we didn't need to do a waiting time, we only waited for the table to be cleaned out and they sat us. I selected to start with the Bang Bangshrimps which were suggested from our waitress and they We're really good. Nice different taste haven't tried.. them we selected to choose a the special for two but our waitress told us was not available anymore which has surprised us because it appears on the menu left to select and even in the check out bill as a promotion till April 2020. Anyways we did selected from the fish menu that was in that same promotion for $49.00 instead pay separately out of any promotion. I chose the bass stripe with asparagus and my husband select the Cod. These plates were really good in flavor and taste overall. No complain on none of the plates selected and our waitress was really attentive. The reason I don't give a 5 stars is just because we couldn't figure out why if what we selected to pick individually instead as the For 2 Offer our for $49.00 the fish was available and the sides . The only difference is that we paid $75.00 instead. The restaurant need to remove this promotion if is not going to be granted. read more

i was not crazy about the food! really , to bland. the tastse was not catchy..i mean nice place, but the food, did not help..

We've been coming here a long time. Not cheap but good last night ordered the large portion of sea bass ($34). It was the size of a drink coaster. Also told me I couldn't have broccoli because they were running low. Not out. Low. The asparagus I got instead was so grey it looked canned. Done with this place. You can only be successful when you're expensive if you're good and Lakeland has too many good seafood restaurants now. read more

Lakeland does not have a big selection of fine dining restaurants. When we're in the mood for high quality food and don't want to eat at the casual restaurants we go to Bone Fish or Grill Smith. My favorite appetizers are the Bang Bang Shrimp and the ahi tuna sashimi. For high quality fish I always order their Chilean sea bass. It's always cooked to perfection. My husband enjoys their lobster tails. An amazing side is their crab fried rice. This place never disappoints and their staff is knowledgeable and attentive. read more

Every time is amazing. This time we had the pleasure of meeting the new manager miss britney. She put a personal touch on our date night. Our server Laura is outstanding every time. Pushed us to trying something new tonight read more

Ashley was awesome!! She even sang with us for my moms birthday! Thanks for facing your fears of singing and joining us. What a great night.

Four of us had brunch on Sunday Jan 8 at 12:15 to celebrate a birthday. We arrived at 12:15 and left at 2:15 which is a bit long for a meal but we really were not in a hurry. Several large groups I am sure kept the kitchen busy and we did not order brunch items. Our food was delicious, we were all clean platers and our friend got a free desert for his birthday. I did take one star off for the length of time we waited for our meals but the food did make the visit worthwhile. read more

Ended up here (I wanted to try the non-chain restaurants in town) because it is one of the few places that stays open until 10:30PM on weeknights. The new menu seems to be leaning towards more meat instead of fish. I ate at the bar and received excellent service. It is one of the few bars in town that carry both an amber rum and a cognac. The food was good but not great; as I've always found it to be. it is now a better place for non-fish eaters. They seem to be trying for a fine dining experience but haven't reached it yet. As long as they keep trying you'll always find a good meal here. read more

Fabulous meal !! Salads are so fresh, crisp & chilled. The Rhea's Grouper & Swordfish entrée's were exquisitely prepared and both had such delectable flavor !!! Highly recommend !! And the attentive friendly professional service made this experience delightful !! read more

Yogi Berra would say "no one goes here because it is too crowded." Limited parking and seating, and prices are high considering the portion size offered. I ordered a bowl of soup with the entree, but waiter forgot to bring the soup. The bowl of soup did show up on the bill, but when I pointed it out, it was taken off. Food is fine, but do check the bill. read more

Been here a handful of times for Sunday lunch for two. Food is great here but good lord the service needs some work. Takes too long to be seated and the servers/hostess are always confused or nowhere to be found. Wouldn't mind if it was a busy day or if it was a couple of times, but this happens consistently. Not coming back for a good while. Enjoy the wait :) read more
