My wife and I had our Anniversary dinner here and the food was great, but at the price point, THE STEAK WAS AMAZING! Olivia was our attentive server who made some excellent suggestions based on our tastes, and at our request took a few pictures of us to remember the evening. There are some other steakhouses that can empty out your wallet/purse, but have a slight bit of buyers remorse after. I felt the service, portions and food were a bargain at the price point. They even offer a 10% military/veteran discount, enjoy! read more

Bone-Appetite - Tomahawk Bone in ribeye with corn rib sides, Brussels and baked potatoes, absolutely enough for 2! - Steakhouses Near Me - Lexington, South Carolina

As fellow small business owners, we understand firsthand how difficult the restaurant industry can be, which is why writing this review is not something we take lightly. We just left Bone Appetit after celebrating our daughter's birthday and our 21st wedding anniversary, and unfortunately the experience did not match the occasion. There were definitely some positives. The first set of wings, the eggrolls, the salmon, and the lava cake were all enjoyable. Unfortunately, the rest of the evening became increasingly disappointing. The crab dip was advertised as sizzling hot, but both orders arrived only warm. We waited over an hour for our food on what appeared to be a fairly slow evening, and to be clear, we had no problem with the wait itself. We understand quality food can take time. The issue was waiting that long and still receiving food that was cold. The steaks were not cooked to the requested temperatures and were also cold when served. The tomahawk steak especially was disappointing because it had a noticeably gamey flavor around the bone. I'm not sure whether it was the seasoning or rub used, but the flavor was off-putting. The cheesy potatoes were the only item that actually arrived hot. The Brussels sprouts were mostly dry leaves with barely any actual sprouts. Another issue was the inconsistency from plate to plate. The second and third orders of wings were noticeably different from the first batch. We chose not to send food back because we understand food waste, kitchen pressure, and the challenges restaurants face. We simply wanted to enjoy the evening and make the best of it. Still, after such a long wait, leaving unsatisfied was disappointing. What stood out most was that the owner was nearby, aware that concerns had been brought up, yet never came over to check on the table personally. This review is not about seeking compensation or attacking a local business. It is simply honest feedback from customers who truly wanted to enjoy and support a local restaurant during an important family celebration. read more

Came with big expectations, but left disappointed. We had heard this is the new spot in Lexington and it was a little pricey, but it was worth visiting. I'll be honest it has the feel of an upscale lizard thicket. I would say it was very much mixed results for our party of four. First note that the steaks are marinated, but not described so on the menu. So if you're thinking you're getting a classic "steak" it will have a different flavor profile than you may expect. I will just say my steak was not great (poor quality cut and flavor) and the chef potatoes that were served with I would not order again. Another person had salmon with pasta and said it was OK , another who got a steak got another just OK vote, and the chicken served with some kind of peach glaze for the other got a "it wasn't that bad". What made our dinner even less enjoyable was that two people got their meals first. We waited for about five or more minutes before starting for the other meals to come out. They never did so we started to eat as our food was getting cold. We finished our meal entirely before the third dish came out. That person was halfway done before the last meal came out. They said it was because they bring out the food when it's ready so it's fresh to eat. It's obvious the kitchen doesn't know what they're doing. Also note that they are going automatically add a 20% tip plus an additional service fee. They must have an issue with most of the people eating there not tipping. Wonder why? read more

This was our first visit, and we were impressed by the decor and atmosphere. The music selection was enjoyable and offered a nice variety. The food was very good once it arrived, although it did take a while to come out. We ended up sitting at the bar because it was Father's Day and we didn't have a reservation. What seemed a little unusual was that only about four other people came in during the hour and a half we were there around 3:00 PM, so we weren't sure why service was slow. It may have been a staffing issue. One of the highlights of our visit was walking back to our car and seeing a young man outside cooking on the grill. Kudos to the cooks! My husband's steak was cooked perfectly, and he cleaned his plate. Other than the slow service at the bar, everything was very good. We enjoyed our experience and will definitely be back. read more

Came in on Saturday & loved the location and the outside lightening & seating set up. Walked in and was greeted, and sat by our hostess. Shortly after, our waitress came by and introduced herself. We ordered 2 drinks, and 2 appetizers; one was the steakhouse flatbread (could've been crispier but that's my own preference) and the duck bacon wonton. Delicious, but the duck bacon wonton was superior. I forgot the name of the main course, but both were seafood and delicious. Will add pictures. Music was great, drinks were strong and I'd love to come back at night. read more

I held out Leadership Friendsgiving here and we had such a great experience. We held it in a Sunday and the restaurant was pretty empty but the ambiance was nice, clean, mood lighting and our table was already set up. Our server and the bartender were both great. Food came out hot and did not disappoint. The zucchini fries were a great start as well as the Philly eggrolls (not pictured), also the steak fries i think someone else had. I ordered my steak medium and it came out perfectly and well seasoned. Everyone who came enjoyed the food and we cannot wait to visit again. read more

Stellar service provided by Addy last week during our first time visit.My wife and I shared the bbq nachos and the mahi mahi. She thought that both meals were excellent, I on the other hand found the fish a bit dry and overcooked. The nachos however were spot on. We may have to visit another time and simply order a steak!! Thanks Addy for taking great care of us and making us feel welcome! Keep up the great service!.. read more

First thing is the place is beautiful inside. Looks to be very well kept up and the ambience is relaxing. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. Now on to the food. The best thing we had were the duck wontons which was the appetizer. My wife's steak was overcooked and her mashed potatoes were an odd consistency and greasy. My chicken was delicious and the cheesy potatoes were good. read more

A big empty space with seating seems to be an afterthought. The food is so-so, nothing you couldn't get at any other place at a cheaper price. Big Bar, with few customers and above average prices, nothing special at all here Someone said the steak was amazing, I think the spell chucker meant Amusing. From their On-Line Menu All steaks served char-grilled with your choice of side. Add a house salad, Caesar for $6. Boneless Boss$36 (no description/no size of Steak found here) High Plains Cowboy Cut$36 (bone-in ribeye, no size listed) Filet Mignon$55 (8 oz filet) Flat Iron Steak$32 (no size listed) Stripped to the Bone$34 (New York Strip 10 oz) True Love T-Bone$40 Where filet tenderness meets strip seasoned and grilled to perfection. 18oz (An 18oz raw T‑bone is slightly smaller than the standard choice but still substantial -- it's often cut at around 1.25in thick for a balanced portion) is yours?) Butterflied Bone-In Tomahawk$100 Subject to Availability Bone-in ribeye, 38-42 oz! (How much is that Tomahawk bone costing The Archer Ribeye$65 (Bone-in 22oz) Ask a lot of Questions of your server about these Steaks, some could be any size coming out the back of the house Interesting reviews no one had a problem, seem it is a perfect place to go, but is it, for me No, no restaurant is Perfect, even Gordon Ramsey's Advice--careful when you see only good reviews someone is not being too truthful Check the prices of steaks at the Embers in Lexington https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m4kGXjO1nWlpnruiE1ps0T0n4WXmXAz9/preview Service was very good and very helpful read more

I may be 12 but I have a great vocabulary and the word if the day for Bone Appetite is Sensational. We had a great server named Tyler who deserves a raise for the great hospitality towards me and my father. The lamb chops, beignets,and steak were so good I went into a food coma. The person who brought us to our table made sure if I needed another drink thanks to Tyler. Again, to his employer, he deserves a great raise as to all of the other servers there, working hard even to the meanest of customers. To bone appetite thank you for the SENSATIONAL food and service read more

My husband and I enjoyed our first visit for a late lunch at Bone-Appetite. We loved the intimate ambiance. The service was great, too. Our waitress knew the menu and was very knowledgeable about how each item was prepared. She had great recommendations. We started with Street Corn Dip (no photo). It was very tasty. For an entree, I had the Sirloin with Corn Ribs. The steak was perfectly cooked. The Corn Ribs were deep fried and drizzled with sweet chili sauce. My husband had the Salmon Stuffed with Crab Dip. He said it was delicious. It was on the pricey side for lunch, but we will go again because the service and food were just right! read more

After attending an elite event here months back, I already knew that I wanted to have my birthday dinner here based on the quality of the food. My partner took it upon herself to go ahead and get it set up. She works with someone by the name of Donna before I express feelings on that part of the experience I would like to say once again the food was absolutely exceptional. My party of eight absolutely enjoyed everything from cocktails to appetizers and entrées. The chef and kitchen get a 10 out of 10. My only concern My partner called and set up the dinner and I did not know that she was advised it would be $150 nonrefundable deposit and it did not go towards our bill. I have personally referred others to have an event in the back room and the deposit went towards their bill. However however when I inquired we were told it's only for Monday through Thursday, but that is incorrect one of the dinners that I'm speaking referencing was about a month ago. It was on a Saturday and there 150 deposit was applied towards their bill. This makes it appear that there is no true policy for events. To charge a guest that is patronizing your business and bringing a party of 8 to 15 a 150 deposit nonrefundable is mind blowing to me. read more

The restaurant is cute but from what I was told they change the menu weekly. Omg pick something that you can master because the food was absolutely disgusting. I ordered the eggrolls that were supposed to have braised short ribs however it was just vegetables. The bartender and another girl were so confused I literally broke the eggrolls apart and I'm like look, there is absolutely no meat in this. I was told I was given the wrong thing. Mind you I got here at 5, the place opens at 4 and there were 3 of us inside. How can you mess up an order already. I ordered the snapper.... It was so salty and smelled raw my first bite made me want to gag. Horrible presentation even worse flavor. My alcoholic drink was just pineapple juice. The only decent thing was the maple waffle fries. This was just not it read more

Food was pretty good. Went for lunch. Enjoyed a modified menu. I ordered ribeye melt with house fries. Really good and loved the skin on the potatoes!!! Husband had NY strip enjoyed his meal as well. We did order Philly Cheesesteak rolls as an appetizer and I feel the dough was too thick to enjoy the filling. Dessert was peanut butter dark chocolate cheesecake and it was so rich and delicious!! Our waiter Ray provided excellent service. read more

Made reservations on Sunday at 12pm. Wasn't crowded and we were greeted with smiling faces and good energy from our waitress. Service was great! The food was fresh and plated nicely with affordable prices. Shrimp hash really could've been great if there was something to marry the 2 together with the veggies maybe a sauce/cream/gravy 3.5/5. The pearl waffles were extremely sweet for me. There were chucks of sugar throughout 3/5. I would've loved them if they were not so sweet. The drinks were really good as well. The desserts were homemade but on the pricey side 3/5. I would go back for the dinner menu but the brunch menu wasn't the best. Great service though! read more

I truly like to support small businesses, but this experience was very disappointing. I planned a party two weeks in advance and paid a $150 non-refundable fee, yet the service and organization did not meet expectations. The food was misrepresented, some items were served cold, and servers rarely checked on us--we often had to look for them. There was no manager on duty, and the owner was unavailable to address concerns. We waited nearly two hours for our entrées, and the experience lasted almost four hours. An 18% gratuity was removed at our request but later charged back, which was frustrating. With better planning, staffing, and communication, this business has the potential to improve and provide a much better experience for future guests. read more

This was our 4th time here and it will our last. The first three times were great! This time, not so much. We ordered our food and then the waitress came back and said she didn't tell of the specials not on the menu before we ordered. My husband kept his order but I changed mine to the lamp chops. We ordered nachos with beef and cheese for the appetizer and it came out cold. We sent it back and changed to the steak fries which were good and hot. My husband's snapper was old and smelly, my lamb chops were undercooked and the fried okra was not done. I asked for our waitress to close us out and tell us what we owed. The manager said 25% off our bill. I said for what we're not taking it to go and we didn't eat it except the steak fries. Our waitress came back saying the manager would take 50% off our bill and could not make it over to see us. We paid more than what I felt we should and the manager never came over. Date night ruined. read more

I had a ribeye and sautéed vegetables. The steak was cooked perfectly and had a wonderful flavor. The veggies were seasoned well and were done just right. I didn't receive my side Caesar salad I ordered but it was fine because the size of the ribeye and veggies were very filling. Good selection of wines and Ray the bartender was a joy to watch as he recommended and prepared some very unique cocktails for patrons. Service was excellent. Would definitely return on my next trip to the area. Wish I had room for a dessert - they look great! The live music with Madelyn McCoy was very enjoyable... beautiful voice and guitar. read more

The advertise is not what you actually get inside. Also the silverware that was provided to my table was dirty and not properly clean, to be suppose to be nice upscale restaurant, a lot of food items not available, some waittress not all provide poor service. The owner does no know how to move around the restaurant to greet customer's and ensure they are enjoying the service and meal. People I know when not be returning to the restaurant and I will not recommend. read more

This is the first time we have been to bone-appetite. Will start by saying the food was very good. We had the Short Rib Mac n cheese flat bread and Ribeye. We also had the Brussels Sprouts and Mac n Cheese. Restaurant was busy when we got here and had a 45 min wait. Wasn't a problem for Friday night but I would suggest getting a reservation. Not sure if it was just new opening kinks to work out but my wife's food came out 10-15 mins before my steak. After the steak came out the Mac n Cheese followed 10 minutes later. Once seated, dinner took 1hr 45 min. Another couple that was seated when we were, left with us: Will certainly be back, i'm not looking for fast food but 1 hr 45 mins seems a bit long especially when you don't have an appetizer or dessert . And by the way, the desserts did look delicious. read more

I can not put the amazing experience i had here into words. My family and I went on Tuesday evening and thoroughly enjoyed every bite of food brought to the table. The appetizers were fresh, every piece of seafood was cooked well including the mussels which were packed with flavor. Big back tomahawk was amazing, well marinated, cooked to perfection. presentation was professional photography worthy, i can only offer an iphone camera though lol. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful, possibly the best service I've ever received. The atmosphere was welcoming, energetic and honestly a great place for any dinner gathering. I can not say enough good things about this restaurant, hope to be back 10x over again! read more
