We just returned to Bonefish on Cortez in Bradenton. Natalia was our server, and she was the BEST! Ofcourse you can't go to Bonefish without ordering the bang bang shrimp. It was served hot and spicy as I like it. My guest had the steak & shrimp dinner. You could cut the steak with a butter knife, it was that tender. The salads were great, and the warm bread was a nice added touch. Our only complaint was that management decided to get a ladder out and inventory the wine on the shelving unit by the computer, where wait staff were putting in orders. At that time the restaurant was busy. Being in business myself, a suggestion would be, to do that task, before opening. We have never been disappointed in the food. The ambiance is cozy as well. We highly recommend. read more

We have always enjoyed this particular Bonefish. I went one a week on a regular basis. this week we went in the evening for dinner. my food was served cold and my friend ordered fish. His fish was a joke. The piece was a little larger than a silver dollar. there was only a acting manager on hand we had to continue to complain about the meals. They finally credited both our dinners and just charged for our drinks. The waiter was not very helpful either. He just kept saying it wasn't his fault. We will not go back we have heard from other people that they feel it's going down hill also. Too bad, it was always a good place to go. read more

There was a big party n service was very good. But I had crab cakes that had good flavor but very mushy . Most people said everything was over salted but basically it's hot or miss i guess. I wouldn't go back . My expresso martini was terrible. Just tasted n looked like a shot of expresso read more

Wow, was it busy here tonight. Many people were seeking a warm dinner and a good drink after hurricanes back to back. Every staff member was amazingly pleasant. From the hostess to our waiter Anthony, we thank you guys for taking good care of us. We live on Anna Maria Island and have been devastated by back-to-back hurricanes. And of course I ordered my favorite brussels sprouts appetizer and it did not disappoint. read more

My wife and I had an excellent dining experience at the Bradenton FL Bonefish Grill last week. I was especially impressed by not only the quality of the food, but also by the service, including the attentiveness of the manager, Bill Krause. Look forward to our next visit. read more

Sooo bonefish is really overpriced and not as good as your would expect. I paid $36 dollars for a small piece of sea bass and two sides ! It looked nothing like the online picture and was very disappointing to see such a small potion as a dinner option! The taste was greasy , basic and wasn't special ,especially not for the price . Won't buy again. read more

Bonefish Grill - Sea Bass, mashed potatoes , $36! - Seafood Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

Elsewhere I would probably rate this as four stars, but in this area, it is five stars. The happy hour starts at three and is tremendous. Drinks are incredible from the bar in the seafood is enjoyable. The food here never disappoints and is consistent. Service here is typically very good. Great for a chain and reasonably-priced. read more

I made a reservation to eat here with a group of friends. We had a very pleasant experience. This is a comfortable atmosphere. Slightly upscale however jeans and t-shirts are fine as well as summer dresses and business attire. Our server was super accommodating and cheerful. I ordered the filet mignon and asked for it to be medium, it came out closer to medium well. I didn't have them recook it because I didn't want to waste food and was also very hungry. It may have been the cook on staff but next time I go I will order my steak medium rare. Overall the food was very good. The salad was crisp and fresh, the house dressing is made each day. A friend said that the fish and chips was the best she had ever had. Apparently it was the batter, the way it was cooked and the sauce that came with it that did if for her. Although they have a gluten free menu, they serve hot bread with a pesto olive oil; they don't have a gluten free bread option. My suggestion to management is to carry gluten free bread for guests that are allergic to gluten. I had a very nice time there tonight and will go back again. read more

Food was good. Menu offered a lot of good dishes. A little bit too loud but overall good experience.

I was attending a Woman's Conference @ my Church nearby & went there on our lunch break. The bartender, Brad F was apparently having a BAD DAY. Just 4 of us sitting down at the same time threw him into a tizzy. My food came but my 3 friends ordered soup & waited a half hour. When asked, Brad threw a fit, slamming his fist (3 times) into the cooler right in front of us & kicking the bus bucket on the floor. We told the manager, who told Brad, who came & confronted me @ the bar right then!!!!! I was appalled at the overall confrontational attitude. Poor service, Poor management!! I used to recommend Bonefish, but I'm beyond disappointed! read more

Went for a quick dinner. It would have been good if our server would of stopped by our table after the food came. (Food runners brought food). Steak was ordered medium well; it was more a medium rare.( I ordered a seafood steak combo did not go to have steak but it happened) So when he was running by we ask for bill and a box I told him I would cook it more at home. His reply was I should of told him ; I replied when; you weren't around. Also told him my husband would of liked another drink. NO apologies nothing. I paid the bill and only tipped 15%. And after I was mad that I tipped that. read more

The grapefruit martini and the pomegranate martini very refreshing and yummy ! Great vibe at the bar here , and service very friendly! read more

Bonefish Grill - Corn chowder no crab - Seafood Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

We have been eating at this and other Bonefish Grill restaurants for about 20 years. We enjoy the very extensive menu and reasonable prices. Last night, our food was excellent. My salmon was very good, along with a fine starter salad. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her shrimp and pasta dish. The key lime cake for dessert was terrific. The 2-person 3-course dinner @ about $48 was a great deal! However, service from James R. was poor. He was never around when you needed him, so other staff helped us with getting items and to-go containers. He was slow to get us out check and return with our receipt. The last time we ate here, we had a different server and she was quite good. When we return, we will make sure that James R. is NOT our waiter. read more

We drove out to Cortez because the restaurants along Holmes beach had long wait times. We were seated immediately. Wait staff were friendly and attentive. We ordered the calamari and imperial dip as appetizers. The calamari was okay, but the imperial dip was delicious. We all had steaks for our entrees, and they were yummy. The garlic whipped potatoes were a nice side. read more

Nice atmosphere. Seated promptly. Server Juan friendly efficient. Some of food tastier than others. Dessert very good.

Food was not good this time. Ordered to go was a mistake. Paid for bacon on a cheese burger with cheese. That's all. No bacon. The fries were soggy. Not done enough tasted horrible. Very disappointing that they can't get a simple order right!​​ read more

Stopped in and sat at bar for dinner and drinks. We used to go to this one often. We haven't been back in 1 year. That time wife and I had one drink each, beer and a Prosecco. We gave the bartender a $20 tip on that bill. Yes we generally tip extremely well. Not even a thank you, he was indifferent. Tonight, I sat at bar waiting for wife. No acknowledgment of my presence. The two bartenders just continued to walk by. When my wife came in they said they had the bar set for someone coming in. The other spots were dirty so that's why I chose the clean spot. Then one of them took the menu right out of my hands and put it in another spot at bar once they cleaned it. At that point dinner was somewhere else. We sat there for 4 more minutes and finally was asked what we wanted. We had the beer and Prosecco again, got the bill, drank our drinks, left 1 dollar, then left. Worst service I've seen in a long time. My wife and I were both wait staff back in the day so we totally get the work load and service personality. They don't have it. I'll come back in a year. The one bartender tonight was the same one from last year. He was terrible then and still is. Would have loved to speak to the manager. read more

Have been here numerous times, and always had a flawless experience. Arrived at peak rush tonight and had some missteps for the first time ever. Rest assured the manager on duty, Jason, more than remedied our concerns and made it another good night there. We'll be back. read more

Location: Right off Cortez, good amount of parking. 5/5 Food: To start we had watermelon martinis, potstickers and bang bang shrimp. For 9.5 the martinis were just ok. The potstickers and bang bang were good as always but the cesar salads were just ok. For mains, we got the fish and chips, a couple filets with mashed potatoes, bang bang shrimp tacos, shrimp Padd Thai with sprouts and the ahi bowl. All were pretty good everyone said, my Padd Thai had too much lime. My wife loved the mashed potatoes and those were the best sprouts I've ever had, outstanding. 4/5 Cleanliness: Very clean. 5/5 Value: You get what you pay for here for the most part. 4/5 Service: Our server was attentive and accurate. We had a problem with a previous take out order and on this visit he made it right. They really take care of their customers here. 5/5 Overall: Bonefish is a great spot for fish lovers. Recommended. 4/5 read more

Fantastic food! Great service! And LOVED the atmosphere! I will definitely return the next time I am in Florida.

Great Service , food is always consistent and very good , plenty of room for any party size, outdoor seating area is very comfortable

We came in late from out of state and we're happy this place was open! Good food, great drinks, and our waitress Jada really made our experience. She was great and gave a perfect suggestion on the Bang Bang shrimp- yum. The smoked old fashioned was excellent. Would come here again for sure and ask to be sat with Jada! read more

We went there for a Yelp event and the food was so good! We had Wagu beef sliders, bang bang shrimp, mussels Josephine, and calamari with a sweet Thai sauce. Then for dinner, we had seafood risotto which I liked. The scallops with ginger were ok. I loved the Hawaiian martini with the coconut flavor! I'm glad they only gave us one because I was driving and they had more drinks planned. The wait staff were at our table constantly. We were given fresh plates on regular intervals. They were awesome!! I enjoyed talking with the other Yelpers! read more

Absolutely terrible . We got take out on Christmas Eve which was probably our first mistake the cook just seemed pissed off. The salmon was so dry I almost choked. The risotto was. So salty and garlicky there was no way it wasn't intentional. It went on like this with everything. The shrimp appetizer... Had a shrimp tail in it. What a waste of 90.00 AND on Christmas ! read more

Got take out. The Calamari had too much season salt, and the fish tacos and the butterfish tasted very "fishy." Not fresh

I met with family this past weekend and we were in the restaurant for over four hours. Our waitress, Monica, was amazing! She was so kind and attentive to our needs. She went out of the way to make sure we were comfortable and satisfied. I just wanted to give accolades to her for being so awesome! The food and atmosphere was good too! read more

We dined at the Bonefish last week anticipating a wonderful experience but we were sadly mistaken. I ordered broiled haddock, it was $29, and I received a 3 Oz piece of dried old fish that was apparently defrosted and thrown together as a meal. We canceled our Christmas Eve reservation as we left. What has happened here, you could always get a 5 star dining experience here, but not now. Three tables near mine sent their meals back to the kitchen and asked for a manager. The waiter remarked that they have a new chef who does the prep work. I could not believe how bad it was. Never again. read more

While on vacation in Ana Maria Island we went to different restaurants and all of them were an hour and a half to three hours long. We decided to skip the local restaurants and decided to go to Bone Fish which is reliable every time we go. My children love to talk and Mr. Scott the waitress was super friendly, he began to talk to them, to make them laugh, he drew cartoons and did magic tricks for them. If any dish had a delay, he informed it was coming shortly but do some act of magic so that they would be comfortable in the restaurant. The food is always reliable, I have never had any disappointment with Bone Fish, however Scott did the extra mile in customer service! Thanks for great dinner experience! read more

Jordan IS THE MAN. Try to get him as your server. Very sweet , efficient and knows his job. Food was sooo with it today. Ask for the $45 special for 2. Includes either a fish, pork chops, chicken or pasta. Including salad and two sides . Drinks are extra but many to select from during happy hour for $5. It's not often that u can eat here for 2 for $70. We even took our dessert cheese cake home. read more

Made it in for dinner about 2 weeks ago; just now having time to leave a review. Everything was great! Started with drinks, Tito's martini with bleu cheese stuffed olives & for her, drink special, watermelon martini. Both were tasty and well made. We started with calamari app (&the bread n pesto of course) which was awesome; lightly fried and with peppers and the sweet chili sauce. (Glass of red w/ dinner) The entrees were both good, nothing over the top. Gnocchi was cooked well, not gummy or over cooked; and the salmon was good as well. She didn't like the spinach artichoke topping, and I agree it was a bit much, would've been better on the side perhaps. But all in all, a great experience and Monica, our server, was pleasant & ensured a good dining experience. Def will be back and request her if she's working read more

Wife and I here to have our traditional late lunch for New Years Eve. You must hurry to get the seasonal specials: white cosmo and Imperial dip with housemade chips. Both incredible. My wife had the Norwegian salmon. Loved it. My Mahi Mahi Oscar equally delicious. Sides of spinach were most welcome. Service, as usual was spot on- attentive but not intrusive. Great meal for both of us. read more

I've been coming to this Bonefish Grill location for over 10 years. Over the last couple years this restaurant has gone down hill. Tonight I was served a salad with Rotten Tomatoes...see picture. The waiter said he would "mention it" to the chef. There is a winn-Dixie next door, skip the tomatoes... read more

5 stars easy 5 hearts too As soon as we cleared our vaccinations we went to Bonefish on 75th for our first dinner out. I'd been wanting bangbang shrimp and a fancy martini for 15 months, since lockdown. I got that and the lobster dinner and my husband got the fish of the day. We sat in a booth in the bar area and everything was fabulous, especially the service. Chris was an absolute jewel. I was afraid I had built my expectations too high but every one of them was totally and perfectly met! read more

We used Uber eats*, we had the marsala chicken, mpot and bacon m&c. Fontana pork chop with same sides and mussels, plus cup of chowder. All food flavor was amazing! All plenty full as well. Why not a 5 star? Well we got three m&c and one mpot. M&c could have been cheesier, a bit dry. Otherwise, awesomeness. read more

Place looks good, but poorly run. Waited 20 min for a server who was not technically ours to help us. She was very nice and the saving grace, but could not run the whole place herself. Soup came out Luke warm and before cocktails which were another 20 min ( they were comped by our waitress but I'm not looking for free stuff). His dinner was cold and my tasted ok but was not the dining experience worth close to $100. Won't be back. read more
