Had not been to bonefish in a long time because we had not had a good experience. Well definitely been missing out as this location is delicious with great service and food. Went for brunch and then dinner. Everything has been delicious. Cod imperial was perfectly cooked. The shrimp and scallops with mango salsa was delicious and the lobster ravioli oh my goodness. The sauce was not too heavy and the ravioli was not drowning in the sauce. The Parmesan crusted rainbow trout was a large portion and so tasty. read more

I did not get pics of my food because my phone was occupied, but we went to Bonefish for a quick, low-key dinner with the kids, and it was on point. The service was good. The cocktails were amazing! Hugs to the bartender because the drinks were so great. The imperial dip with the tortilla chips was served very hot and was very delicious. It has a crisped top and is truly cooked very well. The corn and crab chowder was tasty. The kids' chicken and fries were also pretty good and served hot and fresh. The loaded mashed potatoes, sirloin, and brussels sprouts were all so delicious and perfectly prepared. What put Bonefish back on my radar was their lunch special, which is a beverage, a soup or salad, and an entree from their select menu. I ordered the fish and fries, and the fish was cod, fried well, and really delicious. All for $14.99. They also have a good social hour and many other specials. read more

Stopped by for a solo dinner after work and it was a great choice. Although I didn't have a reservation, I was greeted, and quickly seated in a large booth with a great view of the restaurant. My server was great and very attentive but not overbearing. Because when I eat solo, I like to enjoy a book and my food. Speaking of food, I was able to enjoy some delicious bread and my bang bang tacos were GREAT. I can't wait to come back and check out some of the weekly specials! read more

One of our best dining experiences ever Friday night July 11th, 2025! Bill was our waiter and he is fabulous. Started with the bang bang shrimp which is always good. Wife had the mahi-mahi and I had the blackened salmon. Bill got them to us still hot and freshly cooked. We were afraid we wouldn't be able to get a table with no reservations but they were able to seat us right away. They were busy but not slammed. Enjoyed our drinks and dinner for about 2.5 hours and the conversation was perfect and not too loud. Samantha our last waitress from the last time we dinned here, stopped by our table as she remembered us (9 months ago?). She said Bill is great and the person that trained her when she started at Bone Fish Grille. Highly recommend and will be back. read more

This is my favorite happy hour place. The menu is about $$$ but the food is delicious. I recommend signing up for their rewards so you are notified of specials, meal deals, etc. If you are looking for a place for solo waiting, the environment supports it by sitting at the bar or a table for one. read more

It's been a while since I been here but a friend invited a group for a G Day Celebration ... so here we are .... I started the night with the calamari and the bang bang shrimp .. the calamari was a bit underwhelming when eating by itself is very under seasoned and the batter didn't add any ... But the sauce saves it and makes the difference .. if you are a calamari lover I wouldn't suggest it. The bang bang shrimp was great ... the temp was good and favorable.. and a great portion for the wife and I to share and not get full. Instead of an Entree I ordered the mussels with the corn chowder and lumped crab. The mussels were awesome that sauce it's in has a sweet savory taste .. and were steaming hot .. the wild card was the chowder. Very tasty and had a splash of spice that I appreciated ... S/O to the servers they worked as a team and were readily available ... great service for the entire night . read more

Bonefish Grill exceeded our expectations! We visited for lunch and found the restaurant mostly empty. The interior was modern and classy, with simple decor. We were seated at a comfortable booth and immediately given complimentary bread with olive oil pesto dip - very tasty. For food, I ordered the Swordfish and Pumpkin Ravioli, and replaced the green beans with Kung Pao Brussels Sprouts. The portion size was perfect for lunch, and I really liked all the items! The Swordfish was flavorful without being fishy, and the Pumpkin Ravioli went great with the crispy onions, crumbled feta, and sage. The Kung Pao Brussels Sprouts were perfectly crunchy and I loved the sweet and spicy sauce. Service was friendly and the meal took less than an hour. The mixed reviews here definitely surprise me! read more

Brittany, Manager provided excellent customer service. She listened patiently to concerns and corrected immediately.

We've not been to Bonefish for a couple of years. It's always been one of our favorites mainly because we always go for the Chilean Seabass and the Bang Bang Shrimp. Last night was no different...except for the pricing changes. I remember when they used to have a queen size and king size order of the Chilean Seas Bass for $24 and $28. The last time we visited they only had one size and it was $34. Now it's gone up to something like $38.90. We decided to split the 7 oz sea bass and ordered a side of mash potatoes with it. We also ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp and each had a side salad, along with two chardonnays. The fish was good...but it wasn't quite as flaky as before...maybe because after they split the 7oz fish it was two very small portions. Still was good. We ordered the lemon butter sauce with it. The salads were great...cold, crispy and the croutons we good. I wish they had anchovies for the side but they don't. Our waitress was excellent. For a Friday night there sure weren't a lot of people there. I'll give it a 4.0 but with these prices I can buy King Crab legs for half the price and have a great meal at home. $90 for an appetizer, one entree and two wines is getting up there. read more

The food is always good. It is nice when I can get a meal I would get in a high end restaurant & my partner can get fish tacos.

Always consistent with impeccable service and some of the best fish in town. Reservations are highly encouraged, and they offer a military rate! read more

My wife and I were kind of excited about trying out this restaurant. I can count on one hand how many good restaurants there are in the Columbia area. I won't be real long with this. I'll get to the point. The service was very good. However, the food was not. Our appetizer was the blackened chicken egg rolls. Flavorless! For entrees I ordered the Mahi Mahi with Old Bay seasoning and jumbo lump crab topping. The fish was dry and flavorless and the "jumbo lump" crab looked like the minced crab you get from a can. My wife ordered the fish tacos Again almost flavorless - but it did have a little heat. Just imagine how pathetic that is! The only very good offering was the pomegranate martini. We will definitely not be back. read more

I had to take another trip to the unforgettable Bonefish Grill! Let me tell you, the food is amazing, and I can't stress that enough! My selections have been wonderful and prepared to perfection. We ordered a few dishes, such as Bang Bang Shrimp and Fish Tacombos, along with sides of French Fries and Salad. The food was so good and filling. Customer service was great and professional. If you haven't tried Bone Fish Grill, you need to check them out today! I promise you won't be disappointed. Happy eating:) read more

My family has eaten at this restaurant for over 13 years. Last Sunday (9/29/24) we celebrated my daughter's birthday at this restaurant. The service was AWFUL! Our server was the WORST server I've ever had. I did not get her name, but to start, she had the worst attitude ever. Secondly, her long, black, nails curled over into our plates. Thirdly, she refused to refill my Diet Coke stating, "your glass isn't empty enough." She refilled everyone's drink at the table, except for my drink. At that point, I was so upset, I couldn't eat the food. The experience ruined my daughter's birthday dinner, to say the least. I was too upset to even speak to a manager. Our bill was $195.95, we wanted our daughter to enjoy herself, but this server RUINED it for all of us! Just looked at my receipt, the server's name is Juliana R. (Awful!!) read more

Used to be great, but all aspects - service, food quality, interior/environment/ambience have all fallen off the cliff. Always pricey for what it was, but at least it used to be well prepared quality food. Now it's just a ripoff since prices are up and quality is way down. Place needs a complete reboot. read more

I waited at least an hour for our food. the restaurant was literally empty, the food was terrible. Pink meat, undercooked. The waitresses had terrible attitudes and didn't even help. After we ate, I came to the front counter to get a water, and the woman that was standing here earlier in that time saw me, walked away, and went to the back. People don't want to work. read more

I haven't eaten here in a while but it was great. The young lady we had was a waitress and a cook. Must be rough doing both parts. It was not busy which I enjoyed the quietness of the restaurant. The low lighten and soft playing music really sets the tone for the restaurant as a whole. We sat by the kitchen. Normally I would ask to move, but I can honestly say I did not hear the kitchen at all. This really surprised me. Our drink order came so fast. All I did was blink and the waitress was walking up with our drinks. Kudos to the bartender on this!! The menu caters to everyone's taste buds. The dynamic salmon was flavorful and is currently stuck in my memory ( I will be back later this week for another one)... it was that good. The Atlanta salmon was great but they really need to add the dynamic salmon dish to the menu. Overall the experience was outstanding. read more

As always great service, GREAT food, I could eat the bread and dip all day long! We had the best server, but alas I can't remember her name!

Hi. Bonefish has not let me down thus far! Tonight I ordered the Grilled salmon with lemon wedges, broccoli & the Mexican street corn! Yummy! Service always friendly & expedient! Ambience classy and quiet tonight! Five stars as usual! read more

My son and I went to share a good meal at Bonefish last week. He ordered the "special" which was Butterfish. I've had Butterfish many times and so has he. What he was brought to eat was not Butterfish, nor was it cooked thoroughly. It was slimy and smelled terrible. We told our waitress this and she did not offer to refund the charge for the fish when we received our bill. I will never go there again. Terrible. read more

This review is based solely on the new brunch otherwise I would give a 4 for their lunch/dinner. They have a very limited brunch menu, by very limited I mean like 3 options. You can still order from the regular menu during brunch hours. My friend and I each try the frittatas. We tried the crab and caprese frittatas. They came with bacon and potatoes. The bacon was small portion and over cooked. The potatoes were good but difficult to pick up bc they were such tiny cubes. The mimosas were good. Try it with the white cranberry juice if u want something different from the regular OJ. Service was great. I wasn't impressed and will stick to their main menu but if you're into frittatas you may find some joy in the options. read more

The food is always great with bonefish. I usually just get the brussels sprouts in the salmon and the shrimp appetizer. The ambience is very low-key very settled warm inviting. I would've given it a four but the last time I went my shrimp was a little on the cold side, but I'll definitely give them another chance. The service was great. The welcoming was very warm. read more

My husband and I had a date night there last night. An hour after returning home i fell ill. My Chilean Sea Bass was not cooked thoroughly and I was hesitant to eat it but decided to, given some restaurants cook their fish rare. I've eaten there many times and have ordered the same dish but this time was different. I am hopeful for a better experience the next time. read more

The food was good, but the service was lacking. The two of us ordered food to share and we had to ask for plates. The waitress brought one plate, so we had to ask for another. My husband had to go to the bar to get his drink. We got about two tablespoons of ketchup for a plate of fries and we had to go to the bar to get more. Our waitress was not attentive or responsive and didn't seem to understand her job. read more

Me and my coworkers came here for a birthday luncheon yesterday. I was really excited to try this place. I have to say I was disappointed with my entree (Saigon Noodles). It was very salty and had too much ginger sauce for the amount of noodles. The top of the noodles were hard as if they had been sitting out but the noodles in the bottom were a bit soggy. I also had the crispy Brussel Sprouts and a Paloma which I enjoyed. My coworkers had various other dishes, some enjoyed them...others indifferent. I had a chance to sample the fish and chips that my coworker had and it was very good, especially the tartar sauce (I wish I had gotten that). Our waiter was not as attentive as I would have liked. I will be back to give them another chance and hopefully have a better experience because I really had high hopes for this place. (3.5 stars) read more

Best homemade vegetable soup on a cold winter's day. Friendly staff. Loved it. This was our first time there and we felt at home.

To go crew is amazing, they are always on top of getting our order right and it's ready on time! Good is great!

My husband and I had lunch, dinner & returned our last night to the bar. The service was outstanding. Our servers were all outstanding. We had the crispy fish & chips, burger, salmon & caesar salad. Every dish was excellent. Large portions. They also host drink specials on certain nights (Monday night). We strongly recommend dining here! We wish we had room for dessert, as their desserts looked fabulous! The soothing decor and cozy booths are all we needed to feel at home. read more

The bartender with short dark hair is super rude and needs a lesson in customer service!

Started off the night off with a flavorless Margarita made with Patron and Cointreau. Tasted like watered down orange juice. Crab cakes were okay. Salad was drowning in oil but had an interesting flavor. My husbands Fish & Chips were so greasy he started to get queasy. His Mac & Cheese was bland but the only thing he could put down. I've never seen my husband leave mac & cheese. From everything we had it seem like they were not interested or passionate about putting together something enjoyable. It reminded me of Red Lobster. Definitely a chain restaurant experience. Was a disappointing evening. Waiter was OK the $77 we paid with tip didn't even cover heating the food up. It wasn't even warm...room temperature at best. read more

Lovely, just lovely! We slid in for BRUNCH - yes, Brunch! Did you know Bonefish does brunch?? Me, either! Hello, happiness. They don't just have brunch they are awesome at it. I had the filet and lobster Benedict. I'm a total Benedict snob and eat them all around the world. These were absolutely lovely. Large cuts of meat, perfect hollandaise and crunchy english muffins. I would have ordered another set but I was just too full. My boyfriend ordered the Cali omelet and while it looks small it's really quiet filling. We were both completely stuffed. Sangrias and Bloody Mary's rounded out our breakfast adventures and they were both done well. The sangria was packed with fresh berries and fruit and my bloody was just about perfect. If you have ruled out this location for weekend brunch, you are doing it wrong! Come check out how Bonefish does Brunch right! read more

Had been a decade since I last visited a bonefish location. Honestly, hasn't changed much but still consistent. Can't give more than 3 stars I save that for next level locals and small businesses. In a pinch hit it. read more

Service was absolutely perfect, very attentive and kind. The sirloin was a perfect rare, and the crab cakes were fluffy with just a touch of crunch.The crispy potatoes and garlic whipped mashed potatoes were very good. You can tell it was all fresh ingredients and beautifully done. The overall ambiance was that of an upscale restaurant. This is a perfect place for a date night,anniversary, or even just a nice evening out. read more

We usually have a good meal, BUT this is the 2nd worst meal. Not cooked as ordered, extra spice that was not needed, short staffed, waitress never checked on us till we were ready to leave, no response from her when told about the bad meals. Apparently this is how it is run, poor staff, bad food and a bad memory. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY. Tsk, tsk.​ read more

This is one of my favorite restaurant chains. I frequent this location at least once a month. The service is always great! But, my friend and I have concluded that the best cooks work on Sundays. Anytime I go on a day other than Sunday, an issue presents itself. Of course I picked a Sunday to try a few "new" menu items and I was not disappointed! I'll be back on another Sunday to try more items. read more

This spot was highly recommended on Yelp and I can see why. The service was excellent and the food was well cooked, well seasoned and delicious. I'm usually wary about large chain seafood restaurants but this place immediately put me at ease and there is no doubt I will be back soon. The White Peach Sangria was delicious as way my bang bang shrimp appetizer. I ordered the Sirloin steak and crab cakes but started eating them before realizing I hadn't taken any pics of the main course. My bad! read more
