Bad expirience at the bonefish! The two stars are for the very nice waiter but that's all. The salsa was good. My salad was okay. But it wasn't crunchy like I like it. The atmosphere was very dark, I hated it. I also didn't like the fact that it was so crowded. I guess you need to make reservations because we waited an hour to be seated. When we finally got our food we weren't so impressed. I would have thought it would have been a bit nicer, since I heard people talking about it, but it was really just your typical chain restaurant. I even think the Red Lobster is much better. It was also pricy for what it was. I won't be returning. But if your going with friends or you want to try it I te commend getting the scallops it's the best thing I tried there. My dad got them and they were pretty good. I also thought that the logo is weird- a dead fish bone, not appetizing!!!!!!!!!!! But anyway, I don't like this restaurant. read more

Loved it here! So far I've only been here twice, but I've loved everything right down to their bread. I just tried the ahi tuna, it was so good. My only complaint is it could've been sliced just a little thinner. The Bang Bang shrimp tacos, also a hit. If you ask how hot they are and your server tells you "pretty hot", don't listen! They were just right. read more

Dined at Bonefish Grill last night and I have to say that the service was horrible. Over one hour to get our food and the server did not even appear at our table for quite a long time. I've dined at many other Bonefish Grills and I must say that the service here was the worst. read more

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here this evening. I normally don't review chains, but this was phenomenal. Our server, karen, was friendly and attentive, and took incredible care of us. I have severe food allergies, and she ensured I could eat a full meal safely. We had the swordfish and the ahi tuna, and both were delicious, and then shared the crime brûlée for dessert. A huge, warm thank you to Karen, Hank, and the rest of the amazing Bonefish staff. We'll be back soon! read more

My family and I had a wonderful dinner at this Bonefish Grill. We made a reservation and were seated promptly upon arrival despite the large walk up crowd that was waiting. Our waiter was very attentive and helpful with menu suggestions. The inventive cocktails were great and the appetizers especially the ahi tuna street tacos were excellent. We all enjoyed our various fish entrees and delicious sauces. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal in the Lawrenceville/Princeton area. Looking forward to coming back soon! read more

We enjoy Bonefish in Virginia and needed a good standby while we were in town visiting. This location didn't disappoint. The staff, especially the manager, was extremely friendly. The food was good, as always. read more

First, let me start by stating I just did the survey and wanted to also add here what a wonderful 1st time experience we had at Lawrenceville, Bonefish Grill. We stopped in last night to have a casual dinner, having only heard good things about this location. We were certainly not disappointed!! Our waiter Anthony, was so sweet and super helpful. He took his time to explain everything to us and had such a nice disposition. We ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp which was Bangin good! Initially ordered two drinks however, when tasted not too pleased so we politely told Anthony and sent them back. The next thing we know, Mr Derek Webb (Manager) came over, apologized and graciously brought us two complimentary drinks, a Hawaiian martini for me and a jalapeno martini for hubby. They were absolutely delish!! It even had an edible orchid, 1st for me. How Mr Webb knew we would love those particular drinks, I don't know, but Kudos to him for being so on point with everything!! I chose the shrimp and scallops and my husband had the Tuna steak, we were very pleased! We even ended up ordering a Bang Bang shrimp to go for my hubby's lunch for the following day! We totally loved everything, from the ambiance, food, service and management!! We will defintely be back!! This will be our new "Spot" Thank You! Arlene & Angelo Miranda read more

Keith was amazing and was very attentive to our needs. Food was amazing and the atmosphere was wonderful. The fact that Hank the owner came by and asked how everything was, really showed how much he valued his customers. Again Keith spoke so highly of the place and made sure we were really taken care of. Thank you Keith. Friends Frome Maine. read more

There were three of us at dinner tonight and my daughter and I decided to share the Ocean Mixed Grill - Ultimate Dinner for two. First, the description not clear. We thought we got a choice of the four dinners. The waiter explained that we get all four items to share. What was not explained was that the portion to be shared was one bite of each item. The appetizer and salad were an appropriate portion size, and the sides were small but still alright. It was ridiculous the fish portion given. That would have been enough for only one person. When I spoke to the manager, Kristen, she was useless. She said it really is just a tasting, but no where on the menu was it stated that it was a tasting!!! She said she would pass on the information to corporate, but there was nothing else she could do for us which we all know is untrue. She could have comp'd our drinks or dessert. We left hungry after spending over $100.00. The restaurant was empty, and now I know why!!! Will not be going back there!! read more

My daughter and I went to Bonefish grill for lunch today. She had a gift card so why not! We were seated for about 10 minutes before the waitress came to take our order. By that time, we knew what we wanted to eat, drink and our appetizers. Fast forward 20 minutes, we still don't even have our drinks yet. A couple was seated in the next booth ( they came in after us) and their waitress was on her job!! When we FINALLY got our drinks, that couple were getting their food... we were still waiting for ours. After waiting about 45 minutes to get our food, we decided we were going to just pay for the cold appetizer and leave. Since we were paying with the gift card, we told the host to just take the card, we were leaving. they had the audacity to ask if we could wait for to see if the card was valid!! I told him we certainly weren't trying to steal that cold calamari and we walked out!! Needless to say we won't be going back!! read more

Went for lunch today to get rid of a gift card that I received for Christmas. Seated immediately- waited over 15 minutes for anyone to come and take order. Appetizers were delivered almost immediately. The calamari was very bland - and the weird sauce tasted like mayonnaise! Yuck don't recommend. Still no drinks after picking over the appetizer. Waitress passed us about 10 times not asking to refill drinks (empty glasses) or how appetizer was- when food was coming- nothing. The place was not very crowded either. Couple seated behind us came in about 20 minutes after us - ordered, ate and asked for their check (their waitress was very attentive) while we were still waiting for our lunch. Our waitress saw that we were becoming impatient so she finally came to our table and said "the kitchen is aware". We waited another ten minutes then got up to pay for appetizers and leave. As we were leaving, the waitress was finally walking towards our table wit the food- sorry I don't have over an hour to waste on subpar food. Went to The Habit- had a wonderful burger - should have gone there in the first place. I have another gift card and don't want to waste the person's money but I never cared for this place, but just wanted to get rid of the card since I was in the area. Service has gotten worse over the years. I'll give the card to whoever wants it. Never again! read more

Bonefish Grill in Lawrenceville, NJ - We ordered the $17.99 sharable mixed grill meal. We shared 4 entrees which were steak, salmon, shrimp and scallops and our side dishes were mashed potatoes and au gratin potatoes.All of the entrees and side dish portions were extremely small and looked like they were for a child. The steak was not bad, and the salmon was ok but he shrimp and scallops tasted terrible and definitively did not taste fresh. The potatoes were not that great and the portions were also extremely small. The only thing we enjoyed was the house salad. I was very disappointed in the dinner and will not be returning. read more

First time at a BFg last night. We had a great time. It was a busy night but we were able to sit in the bar area and have a few drinks while we waited for our table. We were told 45 min but really only waited 20. Our waiter was promt and very knowledgeable about the menu. If you go in there, ask for Mitch. He takes care do his customers. The food was awesome. I had fish tacos and they were delicious. During desert the owner hank stopped by our table and a 5 minute conversation with him was pleasant. All in all I can say hat I will be going back. read more

Had a GREAT! time at the Bonefish in Lawrenceville NJ over the holidays with friends. The staff was very attentive and accommodating. Right away our server was taking our drink order and let us know about some of the specials. They have a great selection of beers! If your into beers as I was. The place was decorated very nicely with holiday ornaments that accentuated the beautiful bar area. This place looks like a high end restaurant that you would be paying a lot of money for, but is quite the opposite. The Bonefish prices were half of what you would be paying at a high end steak place, and we got food that was WAYYY! better than those other places. I had the Sea bass and my friend got the Salmon. SOOO Delicious! At incredible prices! Finally someone comes up with a restaurant that gives you more than what your paying for. Thank You! Bonefish! I will definitely be looking for one near me to frequent. read more

We arrived for lunch on what was a relatively slow Sunday afternoon at the Bonefish Grill in Lawrenceville, NJ; the restaurant was at best at about 1/3 of max seating capacity. As you'd expect, we were seated immediately and our waiter came to the table shortly thereafter. The waiter explained the menu a bit, and took our orders... he couldn't have been more pleasant or professional. The three of us each ordered an entree; a couple of egg dishes from their brunch menu & the fish & chips... all relatively simple, quick & easy to prepare items. The waiter stopped by during the first fifteen to twenty minutes to refill our water glasses and then proceeded to ignore us completely for the remainder of our visit. After about a half hour of waiting with no food or waiter in sight, we complained to the bartender. The manager came over about five minutes later, far from apologetic, and in a very matter of fact manner proceeded to explain that they had over cooked the fish and had to start over, but the food would be served in two minutes. At this point we had over a half hour invested, and in spite of the manager's excuse for the delay being plausible (since the dishes we ordered take no longer than 7 - 10 minutes to prepare... and the place was far from busy), we decided to wait a bit longer. The two minutes passed and after waiting another ten minutes, we decided to cut our losses and leave. It was our first and last visit to any Bonefish Grill... we will not be returning. read more

We had not returned to this location since the manager/owner left to oversee operations @ another Bonefish in Colorado. He was exceptional, & was very hands-on. The food has always been very good, but when he was there, the service was outstanding. He was always going around making sure his employees were on top of their game. Unfortunately, his absence is glaringly evident. The service yesterday was downright awful, starting with the hostess. I'd made a reservation & when I checked in, I asked if it would be possible to sit outside (I knew there were tables available outdoors). She said she would check. I got out of the way to allow other people get their names on the wait list. Over 5 minutes passed & she didn't look like she had done anything, so I approached her again, & she didn't recognize me. I had to remind her of our reservation & request for outdoor seating. She finally went outside to verify availability & came back for us. She only had our menus in her hand, no silverware/napkins. It took almost 10 minutes for our server to come to see us. He started telling us about the specials, & took our drink order. Another server brought out the bread, but still no napkins/silverware, or small plates. Our server came out with the drinks, without silverware yet again. We asked him @ least 2 more times for it & for small plates, & also asked another server (or 2, I lost count) & it was finally another server that came out with the silverware that should have been there from the beginning. The small plates finally came, with yet another person. The food didn't take long, but our server got my husband's side dish wrong. He decided not to say anything for fear of it taking another half hour of waiting. When my husband asked for another drink, our server didn't bother to clear the no longer needed small plates, etc. I do have to say that the food was very good, so we at least had that going for us. When it came time for the check, our server told us that we had a $10 reward, & asked if we wanted to redeem it. Of course we said yes, only to have him come back without only a $5 reward. My daughter had to go inside to tell the manager who finally canceled the first credit charge and corrected the mistake. All in all, it was a terrible experience. read more

There should be negative stars for this place. We went on a Thursday night, restaurant had barely 10 ppl. The hostess was nowhere to be found, for ten mins. We just needed some takeout and had to wait for a couple to finish ordering at d counter before we could get our turn. The hostess was dumb beyond measure, she couldn't help the couple before us with their food, nd they left in a huff after pursuing the menu for an eternity. Finally when we did get our turn the hostess went off again, asked us to wait nd check the menu. She finally comes back after taking a stroll in the restaurant, confused woman, didn't know where to go what to do. She comes back, takes a call instead of saying something to us and asking us for our order. The confused woman then started making reservations for some group, on the phone, all the while still ignoring us...that was it... We just walked out after waiting for like 15 mins to simply order takeout, nd still the woman wouldn't utter a word of apology. Place was smelling funny inside too, nd the desire to serve was not there. Sad to see such a place....wouldn't step back in this place ever! M glad we didn't order the takeout either, m not sure what to expect after this. read more

Ive eaten at bonefish many times and I love it so naturally when im not from the area and needed some help I went inside to ask for directions and assistance to the nearest department that could help me. I was visiting my mother in nj who died the night before from Pittsburgh. My daughter was being watched by my grandmother there and my other daughter was living with my ex in pa. Other than that I didn't know anyone out there and I had no one else. My wallet ended up missing and I retraced my steps and called 3 different police departments for help explaining that I was in between places since my breakup and had to stay 5 hours away in Pittsburgh for now and work from home and at a receptionist gig twice a week and didn't have enough gas or anything to get home. The police said they couldn't help me and I was out of luck all I could do was report my wallet and hope it was turned in with all my money in it. Real nice. So, I went into bonefish on my way back to pa after calling every possible department I could think of including red cross and auto places and AAA even though I wasn't a member. I asked the staff who seemed so nice if they knew any other emergency service out there that could help me or direct me or come out and they said they would be happy to brainstorm for me and see if anyone knew anything. They sent their head cook out I think and he was nothing but nice and assured me he would see what he could come up with and advised me that I could wait there as long as I liked. I told him thank you and a little about me and what I was going through. After a while he came back and apologized that they couldn't think of anything and offered me food which I said I couldn't accept because I didn't want to burden them and I had to see what else I could do then. We said our goodbyes and I thanked them for being so helpful. As I was leaving however, I noticed 3 cop cars in the parking lot. I went to my car feeling very upset and as I was leaving they swarmed my car. I was freaking out and confused because I've never been in trouble and I have a perfect record. They asked me to step out of the car which I did and started questioning me. I told them I already went through another officer before them about my situation but they said that they weren't here to help me. They said that bonefish called the cops on me because I came in begging and desperate for money! I was in shock. Little did they know my grandmother was on the phone the whole time and heard everything. They purposely pretended to be nice and keep me there so they could get me arrested! I was furious! I just lost my mom on top of everything else how could someone do that let alone lie to police? Luckily I was let go because I've never been on trouble etc but I hope people read this and know the hell I went through and how messed up this was. Idk why they did that to me but my grandmother who is already dealing with my mom and with me getting stranded is not happy. I don't mean to bash them but I had to write this. Be careful if you go in looking for directions etc.. You may just meet a cop afterwards. read more
