Oh man, what a great meal! Firstly, Carly. Man, thank you so much for taking such great care of us - you were the icing on the cake, my friend! We had a table full of apps, but my favorite was the Bang Bang Shrimp. Best example I've tasted yet, and I like my fried foods drenched in sweet heat. These guys were crispy and creamy at the same time, spicy and savory, and alllll yum. The Imperial Seafood Dip? Dang, I did not mean to eat so much of that! Very cheesy, tasty, and perfect on what tasted like house-toasted tortilla chips. The chargrilled oysters were good, but they didn't stand up to the others, and if I had only ordered the calamari, I would have been happy. But I'm totally glad we had those shrimp! I got the Scallops Florentine Filet. It seemed like a safe bet - scallops and steak? It was sooooo much more than that. Steak - cooked perfectly. Scallops - small, but a very tasty compliment to the steak...and that Florentine was killer. So, so, soooo good. We didn't have room for dessert, but that was ok because my French75 cocktail was such a terrific treat I didn't even miss it. Bombay Sapphire, Elderflower liquer, sparkling wine...mmm, so very tasty. One of my dinner companions asked me if it was good because I was sipping it so slowly - I was like, "it's the bomb, but I and definitely just savoring the heck out of this one." Something like that, anyway - get in here and try one for yourself, you won't be sorry. read more

Bonefish Grill - A brand new doctor! - Seafood Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

Went for the four-course martini pairing, and at $65, it was a great deal. The restaurant was closed to the public and opened only for guests who RSVP'd, which made it feel more exclusive. Everything was well organized, and the food came out quickly. We also noticed menus on the table for their upcoming events, which was a nice touch. Each course was paired with a martini, and they were paired perfectly. We had a crab and spinach salad, scallop pasta, grilled salmon, and dessert, four martinis total, one with each course. They were surprisingly strong and flavorful. The food could have used a bit more salt and seasoning, but overall it was still enjoyable. I'd definitely return to try their other pairings. read more

Love that Bonefish Grill has been having the food pairing events. I attended my second one on yesterday and it did not disappoint. From the friendly atmosphere as soon as you walk in ,to the delicious food and drinks. Love that you also have a chance to win prizes. When you enter, you are given a raffle ticket. Surprisingly two of my friends at the table, won a prize. Very cute prizes. And also there were cute photo op areas. All the drinks paired nicely with the meals. Although the last event I attended had standard size martinis this time it was minis. But they were all good and some were a tad strong, but in a good way. The first course was the Crab avocado Salad. Fresh Lump crabmeat, avocado, mango, lime vinaigrette, over spinach with A cucumber martini. I was totally obsessed with this dish and the drink was so delicious and refreshing. 2nd Course was Scallops and shrimp scampi. Roasted shrimp (imported)and scallops (imported) in a garlic lemon butter over linguine, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and diced tomato. The roasted shrimps were seasoned very well. The scallops were a little tiny, but they were good. The sauce and linguine could have used a little more flavor . It was paired with a Lychee Martini. It was the perfect amount of sweetness and paired perfectly with the meal. 3rd course was the Mediterranean Salmon topped with sautéed spinach, feta cheese, tomatoes, and pickled onions, with lemon butter and served with jasmine rice and asparagus. Salmon was cooked to perfection and was delicious . Paired with a ISLAND BREEZE had mango, passion fruit and pineapple. At this point I'm not sure which drink I'm obsessed with more. The 4th course was a Mixed Berry mousse caked. Soo delicious and I don't even like coconut. It was topped with whipped cream and toasted coconut. It was paired with STRAWBERRY ROSE SIDECAR MARTINI Rémy Martin VSOP, Cointreau, fresh sour and strawberry rose flavors topped with sparkling wine. At this point I was full and done . When I read Remy and wine in the ingredients I was like okay I've had enough, so I did not finish this one. But all in all the experience was a 10/10. I'm sure I will be back ! read more

Food was absolutely delicious! With one exception, our Bang Bang Shrimp were served lukewarm, with coating falling off and very, very little sauce. But the other menu items we ordered were excellent. We had the Shrimp & Scallops, Fontina Pork Chop, Scalloped Potatoes, Fried Cauliflower and Broccoli. As well as 2 really good Lemon Drop Martinis. It was all perfectly cooked and served with a smile. And speaking of the service, it was perfect. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu items, very attentive, kind and helpful. The ambience in the restaurant is always nice. Low music playing, dimly and romantically lit, it's a win. They also have the patio open now. As well as beautiful Halloween decorations on the door. Made for a really nice night out. (Except for the shrimp. Love it usually, disappointed) read more

To say this a chain restaurant I must say the Veteran location is bomb A! In this economy catching a bomb A-Qualty happy hour is unheard of. However, Bonefish manages to pull through. The days to come are Mondays and Wednesdays before 6:30 but after 3pm. The two cocktails that has me in a chokehold is the Fresh Margaritas & the Bee's Knees Martini! The FreshMargarita is a tequila based cocktail which is really good and has a decent tequila choice of Lunazul Blanco. The Bee's Knees Martini is a gray whale gin,grand marnier and a honey syrup and sour mix that taste really surprisingly good together. Again not a bad gin selection so you know the taste is of decent quality! The bang bang shrimonis a happy hour go to on a Wednesday BTW. Honestly I enjoyed mytimeheree. I will be back! read more

I attended the 5 Course Martini event at Bonefish Grill and for my first experience, it was pretty amazing. I certainly enjoyed the medium sized crowd and the staff friendliness. The seafood chowder paired with Veuve Clicquot was a great start to the night. Next, the brussel sprout salad had a tasty vinegarette, but alas there was not a single shaved brussel sprout as it seemed to be all lettuce instead. The lobster stuffed shrimp and winter white cosmo were also a delight. I was only a little disappointed in the consistency of the mashed potatoes and the temperature of the filet, but I understand given it was a large party. Lastly, the bourbon chocolate brownie was a treat, but the chocolate orange martini stole the show. I'd definitely attend an event like this again. read more

Since the Bonefish Grill closed in BTR ...... I forgot that Bonefish Grill had a HAPPY HOUR. I had the blueberry lemon drop ( sorry no photo) and it lead to me having 4 more. YUMMY!!!!! The menu is fabulous. Definitely enjoyed the crispy cauliflower and the ahi tuna wonton nachos. The ambiance at Bonefish has always been chic to me. You can have a drink and meal without being seen and interrupted! That is what I have always loved at Bonefish Grill .. the "private" experience. I definitely will return and I advise if you are in Metairie between 3- 6:30 pm... get off at Clearview and stop. Thank me later. Our waitress , Nyla, was awesome. Very knowledgeable and helpful. She made sure to check if we needed anything. read more

We visited on Mother's Day, which was a busy time. Although we had a reservation we had to wait 45 minutes to be seated. The wait for entrees was almost two hours. The waitress was nice. Unfortunately, the food was subpar in light of the business and lack of preparation. Rice was undercooked and vegetables were overly charred. Also, the restaurant wasn't as clean as I am accustomed to. read more

I saw the Tides of Flavor 5 Course Cocktail Pairing Dinner advertised on social media and thought it would be a nice event to go to. I've only been to bonefish grill one other time about 7 years ago so I thought it was time to go again. I made reservations for 3 and received about 2 calls leading up to the event confirming my reservations. When we walked in it was a good crowd and there were a lot of Mardi Gras decorations. We were given a raffle ticket, asked if we would like a booth or table, and were seated pretty quickly. Some tables had bread and when we asked about it they said they were giving tables bread who asked for it. So once we asked they gave us some and I'm glad they did because the bread and the oil they give you to dip it in was really good. Event started at 6:30 and I believe the first course came out about 6:50. The bang bang shrimp were soooo good. Very hot and crispy and the sauce was great. The winter white Bellini it was paired with was good as well. Next was the salad and hypnotiq martini. The salad was ok, but you could tell the tomatoes were old as the were very soft and we were unable to eat them. Hypnotiq martini was good. Next were the scallops and those were ok, I liked the mango salsa it was paired with. The orchid oasis martini that came with it was my favorite drink of the night. Next was the main dish the fish with shrimp and I enjoyed it. I brought most of it home as I wanted to be able to eat the dessert. It was paired with a margarita which tasted like your basic margarita. Nothing was wrong with it but I don't really like margaritas so I didn't really drink it. Last but not least was dessert. The bananas foster had a good flavor, but the birthday cake martini was not good. It was decorated cute with the sprinkles but I could not drink it. From best to worst in my opinion with drinks it was the orchid martini, winter white Bellini, hypnotiq Martini, margarita, and then the birthday cake martini. Overall, our service was good and all the staff members we came in contact with were nice. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and I'd probably attend one of their other events. I will say when you get the bill it shows you the food was $40 and drinks were $25, so I think they could let you know ahead of time if you don't want the cocktails you can just get the food for $40. Some of my family members aren't big drinkers so they didn't come because they didn't want to waste the drinks, but if it was advertised that you could pay $40 for the food I believe they would've came. read more

it was really good. the steak was a lil overcooked but that's an easy mistake (i cook steaks often and if they're not exactly the right size, they'll overcook). i got the honey something cocktail and OMG IT WAS SO GOOD and had me ready to go home w my man!!! The seared tuna was probably the best i've ever had. my man got the salmon and it was so good too. i can't wait to go back. read more

Initially when we walked in, there wasn't a hostess so we weren't sure if they were open. Shortly after we were greeted and quickly seated. Things a favorite that's chained. Being in New Orleans there are so many wonderful places to eat that are local fan favorites that I tend not to want chained establishments. With all the parade traffic, we decided it was a great place to eat off out the way. I don't recall our servers name but he was authentically awesome! Tall, younger white gentleman with long hair and a very spunky personality. We quickly received bread which was nice since many places are starting to charge for bread service. The food came out quickly and everyone enjoyed their meals. It wasn't very busy which was nice as it was a bit quiet and relaxing. I'm sure I'll be back at some point! read more

Bonefish is the nice quiet restaurant we goto to relax and have a peaceful meal. They are easy to get to, have plenty of parking and you can always get a good table.

Five years later and we're back!! My wife and I enjoyed Valentines with our own toddler in tow this time. We came early to accommodate an early bedtime and were seated immediately--without reservation and without waiting. Service was excellent, just like last time. Dishes were brought to the table piping hot and as they were ready, but all dishes within a course made to the table within a 5 minute window, so top-notch there. Service was tested again by a toddler poking a hole through his foam cup with the straw. No idea what it is with us and toddler problems at Bonefish, but there it is. Replacement beverage was offered, as matter of course, and politely declined--gesture appreciated. Ambience was nice. Simple decor, a broad sampling of people--classy despite table being pretty close to each other. Lighting was perfect--dim enough to be intimate, but bright enough that you could see your food and dining companions clearly. Food: we ordered Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer, a children's popcorn chicken meal, Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos (cuz I wasn't in the mood to roll the dice), and Chicken Marsala with Caesar salad and steamed Broccoli. Shrimp delivered good flavor and texture in spades. My son--the fried chicken connoisseur--ate the strips, declaring the flesh tender and juicy. Caesar and Broccoli were excellent--no over cooked crucifierons vegetables this time--and my wife declared the chicken a winner; I It looked good. The Tacos were good enough and big enough that I'm probably going to skip the appetizer and go straight for the tacos next time and enjoy a beverage instead of the appetizer. All in all, 5/5 with the caveat that we ordered conservatively. We'll be back. read more

The Bartender is a nice elderly woman but lacks bar experience AEB not sure of drinks ordered and time it takes to receive one's order.

Food, when we got it, was nice. Service was so slow that we ended up calling the restaurant from our table in order to get a waiter.

Excited to try for the first time bonefish grill to celebrate my wifey birthday. To my dismay it was not worth it. Order literally took more than 30 mins wait. Even it was not pack. Rice and grilled pork chop were undercooked. Calamari doesn't look like calamari, looks like crumbles of fried flour. Very disappointed!!! read more

Had a great experience here at Bonefish Grill! My family came here last weekend to celebrate my Grandmother's birthday and we couldn't have had a better time. First off, the service was AMAZING! Our server, Kristen, was one of the sweetest, most attentive waitresses I've ever had. Every time she came to the table she checked on each of us individually to make sure we had everything we needed. She even accommodated my Grandpa's special request for ice cream for the whole table to celebrate my Grandmother's birthday. I also loved the unlimited tasty bread and oil that came before the meal. Our entrees were delicious and seemed like they consisted of very fresh seafood. I will definitely be back! read more

My oh my, how far this place has fallen. Three of us went on a Sunday evening before a federal holiday -- one would expect it to be crowded. Not including the bar, there were about four other tables with customers besides us. Air conditioning was set too low. It was freezing. Our server was attentive - at first. Drinks: One person ordered an Old Fashioned; one ordered water; and one ordered iced tea. Food: We ordered appetizers to share. Bang bang shrimp, two orders of crab cakes, calamari, asparagus, and macaroni and cheese. You'll see in my previous review how I raved about the crab cakes. I was extremely disappointed that they removed their very best and tasty side -- the au gratin potatoes. They also removed the creamed spinach. Iced tea was so watery, we had to ask for a new one or water if they didn't have any tea that contained tea. Bread with chimichurri - first "loaf" (piece) was very hard. Second one was enjoyable. Bang bang shrimp. We remembered to ask for no lettuce so they don't fill the bowl with lettuce. These were delicious, as always. Win. The crab cakes were insanely over salted. To the point where they did not taste good at all. Fail. Calamari. Didn't know it came on a bed of shredded lettuce. WHY? Why is that necessary? It doesn't make it more appealing. It makes fried things soggy. It's a waste of food. As for the calamari itself -- $15 for about 5 rings and 5 clumps of the tentacles. Seriously. Complete fail. Macaroni and Cheese. Good flavor. Decent portion. But, it needs serious help with texture. Cheese was gritty and the part that was supposed to be creamy and cheesy was quite liquid. Fail. Asparagus. $6 for five stalks. Any dimwit knows that the woody part of the spear should be cut off. Apparently they don't know this at Bonefish Grill. Five woody, miserable stalks of asparagus on a plate with zero olive oil, butter, or seasoning. Just lying cold and miserable on a plate. Utter fail. Our table was overflowing with excess plates because of the different appetizers we ordered. Even though they were pushed to the end of the table, that's where they stayed the entire 1.5 hours we were there. Our server completely disappeared after our food arrived. We had to ask other servers for the replacement iced tea and our check. My prediction is that this location of Bonefish Grill is closed within one year unless they completely revamp and do a grand re-opening with excellent servers, service, GOOD menu items and sides (like the au gratin potatoes), and stop putting lettuce on a plate of calamari and bang bang shrimp. $102 for a horrible experience. We will not be back to this location unless we hear it's been overhauled. read more

I went to Bonefish Grill because I wanted to try the original bang bang shrimp. WOW!!! I could've eaten just that. The stuffed fish I had was excellent in every way. The big surprise was the steak my wife got. She doesn't eat seafood and usually orders something she really doesn't want when we go to a seafood restaurant. Her steak was so good that the next time we wanted steak we came here and we were both delighted. It's a much better steak than most steakhouses offer. The service is always top notch. It's pretty dim at night. Very nice for dinner. We will be back for steak and bang bang shrimp. read more

Everything here is so good. The bread and oil they bring out is divine. There's so much garlic mixed in too. So good. Ordered a pomegranate martini. SO GOOD! Tasted like lychee was in it too. Could have ordered 3 more. Lol Bang bang shrimp were amazing as always. The butterfish was really good as were the Mac n cheese and creamed spinach. All really good offerings. Our server, Emma, was amazing as well. Kept us watered and fed. Lol She was very attentive and accommodating! Great meal!! read more

This was my first time trying Bonefish Grill. The setting is more upscale. The servers were nice and accommodating. The free bread with a pesto and olive oil dip was good; the bread was made fresh. The Bang Bang Shrimp, in my opinion, was probably the best on the menu. The crunch along with the sweet and tangy sauce was delicious. The Imperial Dip was not as tasty. The dip was dry and salty; the texture and consistency was not similar to a dip. The Mahi Mahi & Shrimp with Kung Pao Brussel Sprouts and Garlic Whipped Potatoes was pretty average. The shrimp was very well seasoned, however, the fish had a pungent smell to it. The brussel sprouts had good flavor; I have no complaints. The whipped garlic mashed potatoes seemed bland. There was no hint of garlic. The Bonefish Signature Pasta was bland; there was no flavor. If I were to come again, I would only get the Bang Bang Shrimp. read more

Tried this spot for--technically--the second time. The first time was my mother's scraps. LOL. Anyway, the food was pretty solid. I would say you definitely don't walk away feeling stuffed, miserable, and like you need 3 gallons of water to flush sodium. I had the blackened salmon pasta, bang bang shrimp, and seafood dip. The pasta was a 7.5/10. I give it that because, while it did not need more salt, it lacked some flavor. I definitely could have used some Creole seasoning, haha. But overall, it's a very light pasta dish, which I appreciate. It's very hearty with beautiful ingredients. I would also say that my slab of salmon was on the smaller side, but it was cooked perfectly. The bang bang shrimp are great. Not mind blowing but they are very, very good. I enjoy them better with the lettuce at the bottom of the tray. I want to try the bang bang tacos next time for that reason. They're not overly sweet or tangy, but just right. The dip was delicious. I think that was many of our's favorite, and we had a large party. It was so flavorful and baked perfectly! Overall, decent portion sizes--some may consider them small. The interior is beautiful. We went in the evening when the lights were a bit dim. Service was fine. read more

I wouldn't be hitting up bonefish grill considering it's a chain and I'm always trying to support locals first but it's covid times so just trying to spread the love. It's a good place to get a piece of fish without paying for GW fins but we found the portions to be small. My dad got the butterfish it was tasty but small. My mom got the drum special- also small and cold Another person at the table got the salmon special which was tasty and a good portion special. I got the mahi mahi with shrimp- it was a good portion. Pretty bland good if you're trying to be diet aware. Apps were good as always Service was ok but the server spoke to us very little wasn't overly hospitable had questionable social skills. I'll stick to what I know and eat at a local place next time... read more

So I've gone back twice before updating this review and both visits were meh. The service was good, but the food was a miss. It lacked flavor and freshness. The seafood fondue was full of mayonnaise and tasted spoiled so I sent it back. The seafood entree was bland and the lobster was tough I guess over cooked a great deal.

Our local Metairie Bonefish Grill is excited to be open and feel the energy in the dining room and patio area to enjoy their seasonal seafood favorites and hand-crafted cocktails. The fresh-fish experts have enhanced their already high sanitation standards to provide a safe environment for guests. My experience here is always pleasant. The service and food are so good that we come here often for family birthdays. Our birthday season usually starts in the Fall, which is a great time to enjoy the patio. Pictured below: Chilean Sea bass and Tuna. ​Some important items to note about Bonefish: Wellness- Conducting daily wellness checks to ensure our team members are healthy (no one works sick). Sanitation- Frequent sanitizing of high-contact areas, hand sanitizers will be available to support frequent handwashing and single use menus and disposable condiments will be provided. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)- Entire team wearing face coverings and gloves for safety. Social Distancing- Limited seating capacity to maintain social distancing, limited number of guests in party, and the possibility of being asked to wait inside your car until your table is ready. Experience - Get on the waitlist via website or phone to lessen wait times. ​ read more

A friend and I just left the restaurant. We sat at a booth in the bar, since we each wanted a drink and were splitting two apps. Service was so so. When the bill came, there were five items listed. One had an odd name, Decoy. Anyway, when I asked what the fifth item was, the waiter immediately knew what Decoy was and said he accidentally charged me for the house wine and the Santa Margarita. I don't like that sneaky stuff. Very disappointing. $11.50 plus tax and tip is a lot to accidentally add to a bill. Seems shady. read more

Went here on Christmas Eve and a wait was expected but this was unacceptable. The wait time was an hour after we received our drinks. The shrimp ragoon was watered down and horrible. Even the coleslaw was watered down and horrible and Bone Fish is usually decent. This left me with an upset stomach that night and half of Christmas Day. I don't know who to blame, management or the kitchen but I definitely felt like I had food poisoning, and No need to ask if I coming back because I'm NOT! Again, totally unacceptable. In need of new chef and kitchen management because that food was never supposed to hit our table as it was. 0/10 read more

I've eaten at Bonefish Grill several times in the past but got bored with their limited menu. It had been a couple of years since my last visit, so decided to dine here recently. I like that the menu includes the calories for each item. That's super helpful for those with dietary concerns. We were sat next to a table where the lady was working and talking on her phone loudly. That was irritating but she left soon after. I ordered the Cod Imperial with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The quality of the asparagus was lower than I'm accustomed to and the serving of potatoes was quite small. Needless to say, I could have benefited from more food lol. The other guest had the Sirloin & Crab Cake and thought it was good. The pumpkin ravioli was oddly interesting and would have been better appreciated by a pumpkin lover lol. We were pretty satisfied with our visit but think it will be a while before returning. read more
