We visited this location to celebrate my husband's birthday. The service was excellent from the start. The front attendant was gracious enough to seat us at booth which we requested. Our hostess Sherell was pleasant, accommodating, and friendly. Appetizers- bang bang Shrimp and calamari was excellent. My husband had halibut that he thought was very good and not dry like we've had at other places. I had the shrimp and pasta dish. I thought the pasta could have been more flavorful bit it was very good and I had plenty.We did not get dessert but enjoyed the atmosphere and the service enough to say that we will visit again soon. read more

I've said it over and over again. Bonefish is my favorite local chain restaurant. Like so many of us, I'm not originally from here. And I am from a city that has many fine restaurants. When I discovered Bonefish, I was immediately hooked. Very good food, very good value(sometimes great) and good service. The problem with chains is the variances, in my opinion. You can visit the St. Pete location with a companion and have such a good time that you can't wait to go back. Then bring friends from up north to a location in Orlando while they're visiting and enjoy it because of their experience. Boom! Higher expectations on each visit. This visit unfortunately was an exception. I wasn't planning to dine there on this particular day but I had a choice. Drive across town to get home, cook, eat then rush back out to meet a friend for happy hour, or I could stop at one of my favorite spots, start happy hour a little earlier and enjoy a good meal. I chose the latter. When I arrived there weren't too many people there. I almost sat at the bar, but instead chose a table where I could see the televisions. I was dining alone. I was quickly seated, stepped away to wash up a bit, sat down and placed my mask on the table. It may have been my first visit to this location, definitely my first recent visit. My first impression of the staff was good, friendly, polite and somewhat attentive. This trend didn't continue though, at least not consistently. My server was a nice, bubbly young lady. After mulling over the menu, I ordered. I decided to have a steak even though if recently had steak at two higher end restaurants. I was conscious of this and my expectations were tempered. I enjoyed the bread as well as what I'd consider Bonefish's signature appetizer, the bang bang shrimp. I mean you can't go to Bonefish and not have the bang bang shrimp, right? I ordered them even though I had no one to share with. I also had a cocktail. It was a little sweeter than I'd prefer but good nonetheless. And the entree, steak with rice and broccoli and crab cake. The entire meal was good, except the steak. It was overcooked and very, very dry. I didn't even finish half. My server who'd started off attentive seemed to go into a different routine. I think she knew the couple at the neighboring table. Maybe they were relatives but it seemed like more. Maybe they were related. She spent a lot of time with them. So much I was surprised she didn't sit down. Then she'd rush away seemingly trying to get back to other patrons. She did ask about my drink, and initially did not notice I had barely touched my steak. I told her I didn't want a second drink and began to mention the issue with my steak but she rushed away. The service very quickly seemed to dip. Sun par. Very disappointing. Let me wrap the experience up. Eventually my server passed by again. This time she noticed the mostly untouched, tough piece of meat on my plate. I then told her what was what. She offered to replace it but after having bread and the entire app on myself, and a little disappointment for dessert, I no longer had an appetite. Things had also picked up in the restaurant. It was getting a lot busier than when I arrived. I was ready to leave. A manager passed by, perhaps randomly but I think my server may have brought the issue to her attention. She squeezed between the tables and got very close to me. I was uncomfortable. I've been keeping a safer distance from others for the past years, when possible. She also offered to replace my steak. I told her that I didn't have an appetite for more food and that I was ready to leave. Eventually my entree was refunded. I didn't ask for that, but it was a nice gesture. It didn't take away from the overall disappointing experience though. Admittedly this was a rare disappointing experience at Bonefish. I'm certain I will be back but perhaps not at this location. The combination of waning service and a bad entree was a bit too much on this day. read more

One of the best restaurants in Tampa Bay specializing in seafood, but still offering something for everyone in a very upscale atmosphere without the "sticker shock". We chose to have our early dinner at lunchtime to avoid traffic congestion and were surprised to learn that the menu was the same for lunch and dinner, offering more options than are usually available at other restaurants for lunch. This makes it more desirable for diners who want a special occassion meal during the day. I was very impressed with my choice of the wood-fired Mahi-Mahi with jumbo shrimp. Some sauces were available, including the mango, which was excellent. Several sides were included with the meal, including a vegetable, salad or coleslaw. Everything was very fresh and prepared very well. Breads were warm and fresh. Service was very attentive and the server was helpful in choosing our selections. The restaurant is part of a group of restaurants that includes Outback. read more

This is good for a chain. I really like the fish here. My favorite thing to order is the Parmesan crusted rainbow trout.

Like usual, really good ambiance, food and service. Everything was really good, the dessert have melt cream cheese on the center, amazing. read more

Brunch menu no longer available as of recently - we arrived at just about the time they'd open - around 11am. We owned the outdoor patio section and well. we weren't even mad because the breezes were so nice outside. Although the mussels were good in a lemon garlic sauce, 717 South prob. Has our heart with the most succulent ones! The Mahi Mahi and Shrimp was good - they even split it for us. I got the Asian sauce and hubs got Chimichurri - Asian tasted like cocktail sauce/ketchup w/soy - something along those lines and a nice change from my usual Mango Salsa sauce that I order. The broccoli included butter and seasonings& garlic mashed potatoes - no fancy sides, just good ole homemade ingredients and from scratch. The shrimp weren't overcooked and medium to large sized ones. To drink, hubs got a Manhattan and I had a Pineapple Martini. My Martini turned out to be sweeter than I liked - I do appreciate them using fresh Pineapple. Plenty of parking - don't be shy, come explore and try out this Bonefish especially if you love seafood and don't worry meat lovers, they have steaks for you! read more

Always great food, service and environment. Servers great, drinks great. Always a favorite I go back to frequently.

What a disappointment this was. Daughter visiting from California and we chose here for her birthday dinner. Let me start with the good. Bang Bang shrimp always a hit. we all felt there was just too much sauce on it however and it would be outstanding with half as much. My glass of Chardonnay was very good. Service was excellent. No complaints about it at all. We've always had excellent service here. I went with one of their specials as my entree. Don't remember the full name but it was Butterfish. The menu said it was Black Cod (Never heard of that) and that it has been compared to sea bass. It came with creamed spinach and lump crab on top of the fish, so it said. It also came with garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli. Cost $30. It was horrible. Fish was mushy (Cod & Sea Bass are firm and flaky) There was a very odd flavor I couldn't pinpoint, but I did not like it. Still don't know what happened to the lump crab because all I saw was a few little sprinklings of shredded crab. I couldn't eat it. I really should have sent it back, but I didn't, my mistake. Didn't taste any garlic in the very thick and heavy potatoes, but I ate them because I was hungry. Why is the vegetable always broccoli? Ugh! I definitely would not recommend this dish as it was nothing like the menu stated and definitely overpriced for what you got. I think this experience has killed my ever wanting to go to Bonefish again. read more

Bonefish Grill - Butterfish - Seafood Near Me - Brandon, Florida

This was my first time at this location which had its up-and-downside. I went there with my mom and husband around 6pm. I would say that the host/hostess were very polite and greeted us when we walked in. We were seated right away at one of their corner booth. The room was slightly lighten which gave it a very intimate vibe. I have to say that it was well decorated. As an appetizer, we ordered the "Bang Bang Shrimp" which was different from the last location that I've been too. It was less breaded which to me is a downside and spicier which was a plus. The server was really nice and was able to accomodate us when it comes to changing certain things on the menu. However, I was very disappointed when my mom's "Mahi mahi and shrimp" came in. The fish did not have any flavor at all; it was as if someone ran it under water to take out all its flavor and season before serving it. I made my mom order this one because I've ordered it before at another location and it was really good, but not this one. If you go at that location and you like your food flavorfull, I would NOT recommend the Mahi mahi and shimp. But thank you for the server and host/hostess that have made our experience worth it. I don't know if I would go back to that location... read more

Friend and I went to lunch here yesterday and was surprised they no longer automatically provide bread service unless you ask for it. We arrived at approximately 11:30 and were seated right away, found it so odd that there was only like 3 other tables of people in the entire restaurant the whole time we were there. Bang Bang Shrimp Appetizer- As always this was amazing.....so delicious and nothing to complain about. Sauce is the perfect balance and my favorite thing at Bonefish. Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos x 3- friends choice which looked delicious and he said they were really good and full of shrimp. As a side he got the au gratin potatoes which are usually delicious but these looked undercooked and not appealing. Angler's Catch- this was my choice and it was very delicious. This is available only on Friday's for a limited time through 4/19/19. It was a fried combination of cod, George's Bank Scallops, shrimp and fries....all was delicious except the fries....wish I would have traded for whipped potatoes instead as the French fries were not good at all. It also came with a small side of Cole slaw that I did not eat but friend tried some and he said it was good and had an Asian flair. We had a great lunch and good service but took off a star since our sides were not good. read more

It was okay. Nothing special in my opinion. The menus aren't really organized in any manner. The waiter was nice and friendly but took out food order then our drinks afterwards. But his service was great. It was a little darker than I would like but that's a personal preference. read more

Stopped in for Happy Hour, since I was solo I sat at the bar. Chris & Austin were great. The blueberries lemon drop was delicious and was part of their Happy Hour deal. Unfortunately they don't have food included in Happy Hour. Overall was great cocktails and good food. With all the Happy Hours in the area that include food, I wouldn't recommend for happy hour but would certainly recommend them for dinner. read more

Tried a seasonal dish of shrimp and scallops pasta. The portion was generous as it should be for $18.99. Two adults could have shared the dish. I added broccoli for a veggie and meal in one. Ordered and picked up curbside. Staff wore masks. Food was ready as ordered. The dish was tasty. I'd order it again. read more

Love bonefish happy hour! The best around. Can't beat the $7 bang bang shrimp and the speciality priced apps and drinks. The service at this location is so poor. Our waiter was not attentive and our drinks and food took forever. I noticed my drink was sitting on the bar for a good 10 minutes before I received it. I got the raspberry with Tito's vodka drink on happy hour. It is made with sour mix. My first drink was so bad I could not even drink it. It was so sour! They remade without sour. I would go back for happy hour but not for dinner read more

The food and service are always good. It's just a chain restaurant so I think they have a good reputation.

Can't go wrong with rainbow trout. My server, Katie, was busy but kept on top of things. The manager, Chris, was cool. A woman named Alexis was sitting near me and wouldn't stop complaining. I mean non-stop whine fest. And I swear she was letting some rip because we all know that smell--THAT SMELL!--and it was coming from her direction. Yours, Mitchell D. Cumstein read more

I was surprised to see the 3.5 star rating for the Bonefish Grill in Brandon. We had an exceptional meal there Saturday night. Briana was an outstanding server, really top notch. I had the mahi shrimp dinner, my wife had the cod. both were around $23. Briana recommend the mahi blackened and included an amazing sauce. Great portions. I added a Caesar salad and upgrade to the bacon Mac and cheese. Both were a great as well. The restaurant itself is very classy and well decorated. I seriously don't know how anyone would not like the experience there. It was far better than we anticipated, we throughly enjoyed every part of our meal. We were without children and it was quiet enough we could actual talk to each other. It had been a long, really hard day and we did not really want to go out, but felt we should as it was my birthday. Dinner at Bonefish turned the entire day around and redeemed an otherwise crappy day. Thank you Briana for doing such a great job. Thank you Bonefish for providing such a great meal at a very reasonable price. read more

Bonefish Grill - Main dining room - Seafood Near Me - Brandon, Florida

Oh! My! Gosh! Best idea I've had in quarantine. I suddenly decided I needed seafood and wowwwww, they did not disappoint. I called and ordered takeout 45 minutes before closing and it tasted as though it was their first meal of the day. The mahi mahi was cooked to perfection and the lemon butter sauce, perfectly balanced. The jasmine rice wasn't sticky or dry at all, and so tasty... and the broccoli-how do they get it the perfect texture, between tender and crunchy-and with so much flavor? I just can't say enough! I ordered some macaroni on the side and planned to eat it tomorrow but it looked so good, I dug right in. Oh man! Hands down the best macaroni I've had in a restaurant-and all that bacon on it, to boot! I'd order a whole vat of that! I also ordered salad-which will have to wait till tomorrow-I'm stuffed! I went wild on the complimentary bread and spiced oil dip (so good!!!!) This was by far the best take out I've had in two months of staying home-and both Travis and Brittany on the phone were absolutely fantastic! I can't wait to come back later when it's safe, and dine in with them-fabulous people! Thank you, Bonefish, for such a great meal! I'm so delighted! read more

We have come to Bonefish a few times this year. Each time convincing ourselves we need to give it another try. Well, we have and it is consistent, but not in a good way. The fish is consistently dry or overcooked. The prices are not worth it for chain food that is subpar. The lighting is terrible and makes it difficult for my son to even color on the coloring activity they provide. One thing we do enjoy is the steamed spinach. They always make that well, but this place is supposed to be a fish place not a spinach one. Can we eat the food? Sure. Have we had better? Yep! Will we be back? Only if we have a coupon and are feeling adventurous. I would rather spend my money at a local place then this chain at least when it comes to seafood. The parking is okay and as it is located in a large plaza, it is easy to get in and out of. Barely any seating while waiting for your table. read more

I went to Bonefish Grill for the first time recently for my team's holiday lunch and really enjoyed it. I've had a gift card to Bonefish for so long but had not used it yet because I wasn't familiar with the restaurant. Now I will surely be back. First off the service was impeccable. We had to me served who were very attentive to the group and personable. The decor of the restaurant is very beautiful. Sophisticated but still casual. The food was delicious. I'm a big bread person so I loved the freshly toasted bread with pesto dipping oil. I ordered the pecan crusted rainbow trout with garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli. The fish came out hot and fresh. The pecan crust was cooked nicely. The only thing I felt was missing was a little bit of salt but a quick squeeze of lemon juice added the perfect touch. I also tried some of my friends bang bang shrimp which was delicious and spicy. read more

It was a wonderful afternoon to get back out and enjoy our dinner at Bonefish Grill and we had a lovely evening. Our Cocktail was on point and entrees were both delicious - as though they haven't missed a beat, and Just as one would expect from B- Grill. Our server Max was a joy we both enjoyed the opportunity to start going out to dinner again and hopefully put this pandemic behind us. It was a pleasure to share the evening with our BH hosts. We look forward to more outings real soon. read more

After a considerably short wait, we were seated in a booth. We ordered our normal starter - calamari. As always, a delicious start to the dinner. My son ordered the Cod Imperial and ate every last bite. I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass and it was so light and delicious. My husband ordered the Filet Mignon. The spinach and cream side was delicious. I also had the red sangria and my husband had the Mule. Both were well made and perfectly balanced. Overall, Bonefish is one of those go tos that I often forget about and always so happy when I remember read more

So I've passed by the place in different cities and always thought it wAs just a franchise but so glad I was wrong. First time I went was just to get a snack while I waited for my appointment. It was happy hour and I sat by the bar. I was able to get their delicious bread and hours wine for a great price. Know that I knew I would return. So I did two days later and had dinner with my some. Again the wine and food were awesome. I will return for a date night with my husband when he comes home. read more

Bonefish Grill - Mussels Josephine (PEI) - Seafood Near Me - Brandon, Florida

Don't go here if you're expecting good food. The fish is not fresh and so they cook the h*** out of it for food safety reasons...but yuk. This place ok for happy hour or maybe with friends for some over-priced wine. If you must, order the cheapest plate on the menu -- so with low expectations you won't be disappointed. read more

1/27/17 UPDATE What happened?? Tonight's meal was literally tasteless. Folks, if you're paying $90 for a family of 2 to have a meal and it must be thrown away for several reasons from the meal having no seasoning to not being cooked properly to all food being presented cold to the entire meal being questionably fresh--and smelly (eww!) You deserve more, or at least your money's worth for such a pricy meal. As far as customer service, I was told it was bad because they hired a new girl. Trained improperly, the 'new girl' was flippant with me when I asked her to take my card. This Bonefish Grill can never keep anyone employed in this position. How management treats their employees should be addressed in this case..BUT!! Management changes as often as I change my socks, and that is a bad thing. Consistency is sorely lacking lately. Oh, and don't EVER ORDER the TRUFFLE MAC & CHEESE as one of your two SIDES!!! It is so gross and too heavy on the Truffle oil! Blech!! I feel I must lower my rating for this failing chain to an average 3*. They don't even have Oysters Rockefeller anymore, but it still says so on their Yelp!!! IT tech needs to fix this!! They claim they no longer make Oysters Rockefeller because they prefer to have fresh seafood, and that item doesn't move fast enough to stay fresh. Really? Lame! 8/100 &&&&&&&&&&&& You want Fresh, High-quality Fish and Shellfish? As well as Prime steaks, too? You can get that here, along with a super-comfy, darkly-lit atmosphere, composed of dim ambient lighting placed strategically throughout the restaurant's walls, amidst small and large tables draped in linen tablecloths. I like how dark it is inside, and the ambient lighting is nice. This is an interesting restaurant chain, one that has kept it the same over the years with really good quality food. Fresh and high quality fish and shellfish is definitely Bonefish Grill's forte'. The vibe here is quiet and understated, relaxed and cool, a place you should indeed linger. Customer service is top notch of course. The restaurant chain also operates Carraba's Italian, Flemings Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar, Outback Steakhouse, and Roy's. From Bone Fish Grill's wood-Fired grill in the kitchen, came delicious mussels, and though they are some of the best, they were missing that delicious crostini, with garlic olive oil, and Parmesan cheese melted on a pillowy but crisp bread to sop up that delectable broth. It's some of the best I've had. But there was no bread and I really love mussels. Yummy! Their Tilapia is also delicious. I had it blackened, which was nicely done with just the right char, tender and juicy. Delicious. I squeezed a little lemon on it and it had just that tad better nuance. They have a wide selection but I've only been here a few times. And would definitely come back. We had no problems with ordering, picking up, and eating delicious food that's worth the money. Both times dinner for two here was around $50.00 with wine. Will for sure be back again and again. read more

Enjoyed the great customer service at the bar. Excellent service and martinis but she should have checked my order when someone else ran the bag to me. The to go order was a huge disappointment. Mango salsa salmon was packaged without the mango salsa and completely dry 1/4 thing piece. The speciality higher priced side item of bacon mac and cheese was not what I expected, 3 tiny pieces of bacon with the side serving in a oversized container so it was thinly layered with no chance to stay warm.. I'd dine in only or check the order. No silverware or napkins added to the bag either. 3 martini and 1 entree to go after tip $64. Not worth it. read more

We came here for a birthday dinner for two friends. We had a group of 20 people. Now first the drinks and appetizers were excellent, my steak was not that good it was a little tough. Now the issue is we sang Birthday to our our friends at the table and The manager Nikki was very unprofessional to our group by providing feedback on regardless to singing. Now it's under stable to come and tell guests to keep it down or something along those lines however their is a way to offer customer service and speak to people. The deliverance by the Manager was rude and impolite, and she needs to find better ways to communicate to people so that she does not alienate people and make them not want to return to their establishment. Now Kaitlyn the waitress we had was absolutely Fantastic and showed an example of exactly how customer service should be. Kudos to her!!! read more

This is horrible. Out of all the times that I come here today is the worst. As I approached the restaurant (in uniform) I was called sir by what seemed to be an under trained female. No apology at all. Then I ordered the happy hour Calamari only to be served a portion that can hardly be seen on the plate, which by the way costs $6. I asked the MANAGER and she validated this. That's weird bcuz like I said I come very often and was never made to feel like so horrible. I'm not sure where the GOOD workers or managers are, but today was horrible and so was the customer service.:: read more

We came to this location for brunch after a failed attempted at another place. We were greeted warmly and seated immediately. Their brunch menu is great and affordable. If you order an entree you can get unlimited champagne, mimosas, sangria, or Bellini. You can mix and match if you want. Our waiter said he just keeps them flowing and he sure did!! I tried all of the drinks but sangria was my favorite. I also appreciated the fact that the drinks had an appropriate amount of alcohol to juice ratio. Many of these brunch places are serving them basically virgin style ok? Anyway...they have traditional brunch options like French toast and omelette's. Some at only $10 so you can get food and unlimited mimosas for $20!! That's good! I thought it was interesting that they had a bang bang Benedict that had the same sauce they use on their shrimp. My friend ordered this and she loved it. I ended up getting the grouper sandwich with a side salad. We also had the bang bang shrimp as an appetizer! You have to get it, it's their staple! Our waiter was great and engaged with us. He said he would try and make our day better since we had a bad experience at another place. We only had one hiccup that isn't worth mentioning, because the experience overall was five star. Great service and food. Definitely returning for brunch!! read more
