Ate here in 2016. I had a decent experience but my friend's was not the same. My friend ordered the sauce for the sandwich on the side to see if he liked it. The waitress brought it to him with no sauce on the side. He reminded her that he wanted it on the side and not on the bun and he gave her the plate back. It came back with the sauce on the side. He lifted up his bun and saw that all the cook did was scrape it off the bun and put it on the side. He sent the plate back and asked for a new bun. This time they brought it back correctly. My friend asked to speak to the manager and he told the manager all that happened. The manager then went into the kitchen. The manager returned and told my friend that he was wrong that the cook gave him a new bun right away. The waitress was embarrassed for us. I had never seen a manager blame a patron before. The cook must have been his cousin. read more

Our food and service from this bonefish is always excellent. Dine in or take out they always take great care of us. It's easily one of my favorite places to get food from. read more

Bonefish has been one of my favorites and even had excellent salmon for pickup. Last night we actually went in. I am guessing they had 12 tables at the most filled. So what happened should have not occurred. Ordered drinks, then appetizers and food at the same time. Drinks took a long time. We kept watching bang bang shrimp leave the kitchen but never got ours. Said something when our food came and it appeared when our dinner was half way gone. My buddy sat his empty beer glass at the edge of the table and the waitress, who walked by a few times, never said anything until he flagged her down. She got him another beer but failed to ask if I wanted anything. When she brought his drink I asked about a raspberry martini. She came back and said they don't make them anymore. That was a better drink than the pineapple martini I had early that was way too sweet. Our waitress was terrible. Never checked back and forgot our order is pretty bad when they were not busy. She did not know the drink menu and had to go ask. read more

Food is always wonderful here at the Dublin location. Great atmosphere as well. We have never been disappointed. Went tonight for our 20th anniversary and got a free brownie and ice cream dessert that was to die for. read more

Call me old fashioned but I see meals not as a challenge but an enjoyable time with friends, family, boyfriend. This is a more high scale restaurant my boyfriend & I went to for my birthday. My first time here. I want to start by saying our waitress, Alexis was fantastic and very accommodating. Here is where it gets interesting. Our waitress brings out a quart bottle of water that appears cold but isn't. No ice cubes. She also brought out a small cibatta bread that thank goodness they cut it before they brought it out. They had a dipping oil that was very tasty however tough to eat with such hard bread. We shared an order of Bang Bang Shrimp. The bowl looked like it was mounded with the scrumptious spicy morsels, until you start going further down in the bowl and you find your salad. For the price of $10.70, that bowl and plate should have been overflowing with shrimp. I ordered fish and chips which were scrumptious. I received 4 large pieces which were crisp on the outside and tender on the inside and the "chips" were crisp fries that were very good as well with the malt vinegar I poured on them. Did not think $15.50 for this was the correct price either. Boyfriend ordered a steak & crab cake dinner with smashed potatoes and green beans. At first glance I thought his was a small appetizer. It was his actual dinner. I was brought up with a lot larger servings then what he was given. Steak the size of the palm of your hand. Ice cream scoop of potatoes, crab cake smaller that the size of your hand and like 12 green beans he would not eat. Not for the price of $20.90. He said the steak was cooked perfectly. The potatoes and crab cake were very good however the green beans were like they were just picked off the vine and tossed with oil. He would not eat them. They looked pretty all laying in a row together and I don't mind al dente however I was not walking through the garden eating them right off the vine. Nope. Very nice restaurant, with accommodating staff and food overall good but prices too rich for my blood. read more

Obviously this place is super pricey, but I love sea food so when treating myself it's my first choice of where to go. Great place for a dinner date, and it's always fun to try out their specials. Seafood is my favorite though so maybe I'm biased. read more

I ate there with the entire family, ages 9 - 79. There was something for everybody. Food was good. Service was good. We enjoyed ourselves over a good meal! Had a wide variety of food from mac & cheese, to steak, to fish tacos to fish and chips. Appetizers were good, bang bang shrimp, shrimp tempura (very good) and other stuff. Great place to get seafood and have family time read more

The filet mignon was not a filet mignon. Instead, it looked like a flat overcooked frisbee. Even worse, the waitress was rude and insisted it was a filet mignon. I am a food inspector with over 25 years of experience and will not return to this restaurant again. read more

I haven't been to this restaurant in several years, but went 4 or 5 times before now. My mother's a really big fan and was over, so we decided to get a fancier dinner to go, and it was still pretty good. Columbus isn't a big seafood town but I've never been disappointed at Bonefish Grill or received a poorly cooked piece of fish. read more

I'm a fan. Great happy hour drink specials. $3 wine, yes please. I've only ever ordered seafood here since that's what they specialize in. I had the grilled scallops and shrimp, the waiter even suggested I order all three dipping sauces with it so I could mix and match. It's hard to find decent seafood in the midwest so when I do thats always a joyous occasion. Only weird thing about this place is the super dim lighting, I could hardly see my mom across the table from me. read more

Went to dinner Wed Aug 16 at Bonefish, service was just a bit slow tonight. I enjoy ice in my water which now you have to ask for. Cocktails and wine were good and the bang bang shrimp is always an excellent appetizer especially on Wed night when it is only 6.00! Three of the four of us ordered off of the nightly special menu which I would think is the best they have to offer. I think we were all a bit disappointed, fresh grouper and shrimp were a bit overcooked and the presentation was a bit lacking. Hopefully just an off night, will definitely be back and hope they are back up to 5 stars. read more

Food was good. Service poor. Got there @11:10. Staff was seated in the bar getting some class about the "specials". Iced tea not brewed. Bread not baked. We actually got our bread after we had eaten! read more

Disappointed again. We came in at 5 to avoid dinner rush during Restaurant Week and it didn't seem to make a difference. Service was slow. Steaks not cooked to proper temperature, ice cream not delivered with brownies, scallops full of grit. Just not a good experience again read more

Average at best. Either bland or drenched in sauce. Only think worth getting is the shrimp appetizer.

This place has a very nice atmosphere. Expensive but you should already expect that going there. My steak and cocktail were good. I distinctly remember ordering something and not getting it but I didn't make a fuss. It wasn't on the bill and it was a busy Saturday night (I've waitressed before). I'd go back again for special occasions. read more

Unwelcoming/inattentive hostess As frequent customers for many years to the Bonefish Dublin/Frantz Rd, we just returned from our dinner of four ($100 tab) much less than normally satisfied with the lack of welcoming or courteous hostess. We had call ahead reservations (noting a birthday). Upon our arrival @ 6:45, we stood for over 4 minutes @ the kiosk without acknowledgement, while a server(?) stood 2 ft away, calculating a bill without once looking up; apparently, another server noticed her inattentiveness & came over & nicely said a someone would help us shortly. Note: the nearly empty dining room had only 5 parties, when a hostess(?) finally came by & whisked us to a Bar booth by the frigid front door, without any eye contact or asking if it was ok; by the time we realized that the less than desired location was where we were "assigned", she had scurried off!! We've never encountered this type of treatment here before--normally very friendly & accommodating. Fortunately, our bar server & food were as good as expected, but the initial rude & inattentive hostessing encounter took away from our dining experience, especially since we had reservations & plenty of other restaurant options nearby. read more

We have been going to this restaurant for 15 years. Always great food reasonably priced. The rewards program is fantastic. Tonight had great service from Kennedy thanks! Everyone here is great and the seafood dishes are delicious read more

Love the bang bang shrimp! Really best appetizer around. I have had mixed services at the Dublin location. Most of the time I have great waitresses. But in occasion I will literally have to find someone to take my order. This is usually on a busy weekend night . But overall, average service , pretty good entrees. Amazing bang bang shrimp. read more

Wow, food was bland and terrible, nothing special whatsoever. Ordered some martinis and there were DEAD ANTS in the garnish. I told our waiter, and he merely said "Oh!" with a smile and walked away and gave us another (which we didn't want in the first place). Didn't even offer to comp us for the drinks. Dingy atmosphere. First time there, never went back. read more

I'll admit it: I hate fish. I hate the smell, the taste, the look, everything. Unfortunately, the BF loves fish. If he had his way we'd go to seafood restaurants all the time. Instead he settles for a seafood-themed dinner once a year on his birthday. This year: Bonefish Grill. We'd never been & this particular location is only a ten minute drive away. I have to say that unlike most seafood restaurants I've been to, I couldn't smell the fish immediately upon entering. I had to take a deep breath to even get a whiff of it. He went for the rainbow trout with rice & I had the filet with whipped potatoes. Our food was great & I loved the seasonal veggie side of garbanzo beans & spinach. We didn't get dessert because I'd already made him a cake, but the jamaican coconut cake sounded delicious. I think we'll be back. read more

Everything was really great! I've never been here before and didn't realize it was a local chain. It does everything surprising well though despite being a chain. I tend to want to try local places most of the time. The seafood was fresh and flavorful. My friend got the lobster tails, we shared an ahi tuna appetizer, and I had pecan parmesan crusted rainbow trout. THIS WAS SO GOOD. I think I can't fully give it 5 stars because we're landlocked in Ohio, and I've tried fresh seafood before on the coasts and around the world, but this is as good as seafood gets in Columbus. I think comparable to Columbus Fish Market but with cheaper prices :D read more

I've stayed away from this chain type restaurant for several years after having a "Meh" experience down in Orlando. However, my business dinner tonight at this location will have me giving future locations a second chance. I was contemplating giving Bonefish a 3 Star rating (I'm pretty picky overall), yet, the smiling server, Bang-Bang Shrimp and extra Blue Cheese stuffed olives I ordered (most places give 3, Bonefish gave me 6!) was well worth an additional star. Also, all of the fish ordered tonight (stuffed Wolf Fish and Sea Bass) was cooked perfectly. Only down side was the side dishes and salads...they were just average. read more

Typical chain resturant with a nice outdoor area, decent wine selection and varied menu so everyone can find something to eat. Calimari was ok, charr fish was good. read more

Bang bang shrimp and bang bang shrimp tocos are awesome. The service started out bad but got much better during our visit. It took about 8 minutes just to get a menu. read more

Man-o-man! My sister made us come here and we are all grateful!!! Everyone had amazing food!

This establishment is why chain snobs can stuff it. From the competent, professional staff to the fantastic food, this has quickly become my family's "go-to" restaurant when we are all in town together. The first time we all went (I had been to one in NJ before), none of my family had heard of Bang-Bang shrimp. Needless to say, on our last recent visit, we ordered more than one of these as appetizers. We are all generally early eaters, so if you're planning on dining past 6:30 or so, you should probably make reservations, as this place fills up fast. read more

I love Bonefish however Friday night I had a bad experience. I order the scallops and shrimp entree to be made with all scallops. It came out with shrimp. Instead of leaving it so I could eat with my friend it was taken back to the kitchen. They removed the shrimp and brought the same plate back. The potato was hot but the scallops were not. I ate 1.5 and let the server know. I was asked to put them on my bread plate. The exact scallops came back (I had cut two in half) hot but still not the other half of the scallops. They finally came....my friend wouldn't eat until I got served. It just wasn't up to the standard in which I thought Bonefish held them self to maybe more like Joe's Crab Shack? read more

We needed a place to accommodate a party of 7 for dinner on Mother's Day...not so much to celebrate Mother's Day although that was good, we were really celebrating our son's graduation from The Ohio State University. They sat is in the bar which I'm never too crazy about but our waitress Tara was SUPERB! Truly the best service we have ever received in a restaurant! We ordered several appetizers and our main dishes varied from stuffed Tilapia to lobster roll to fish and chips. My dad who is a picky eater ordered the grilled Kobe burger and said it was the best burger he ever had in his life and he's 83. What really impressed me is they brought out the entire order at once and it was perfect! I don't normally take time to do reviews but the service and quality of the food were outstanding! I was so grateful to conclude our day of celebration at this amazing restaurant! Go bucks! ;-) read more

Hosted my family for a holiday meal @ Bonefish Grill on Xmas Eve. Everyone really enjoyed their meal and Sara was very attentive to our needs. The manager on duty stopped by our table to inquire about our dining experience. Good professional touch thruout the meal .Thank you read more

Went for my fathers birthday. I ordered an 8 oz filet medium well. It came out completely rare and blood everywhere. We told the waiter so he took it back and cooked the same piece which already half of it was pure gristle. Waiter forgot about my steak and it didn't come back out for over 20 minutes well after the rest of my family was done eating. To make matters worse my fathers steak which he ordered medium rare was blue it was so rare even the manager admitted it was blue. After having to send my steak back our waiter started treating us with attitude and being terrible. We were asked if we wanted desserts free to make our dinner better and we declined. We didn't want something free we just wanted a nice dinner and to let them know that there are various problems from quality of food to quality of service. We used to go there often but after tonight will never be going back. read more

My husband and I went there to celebrate our anniversary. I had a steak and it was amazing! I'm not a fan of fish and was glad that the restaurant didn't smell too fishy. We also tried the house lemonade and the blackberry slam(? not sure if I got the name right) and they were very yummy! read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our happy hour experience at Bonefish. Food was good. Service was good. Ambience was good. We WILL be back. read more

Bonefish Grill - Seafood Near Me - Dublin, Ohio

See all

Food's an excellent deal and great. Like pulling teeth to get drink refills. I'll never understand....

Aside from the long wait, I really enjoyed my visit to bonefish. My boyfriend and I got drinks at the bar and watched basketball until our table was ready. We also ordered the bang bang shrimp while at the bar. The bartender was super friendly, introduced himself to us and was good at checking on us. When our table was ready, they just moved the tab for the appetizer to our table for the night. That was convenient. The waitress we had was also outstanding. She was really nice and professional and knew everything about the menu. She had a trainee shadowing her, and he was also great - even though he only spoke a little to us during our meal. Our drinks were always kept full and they let us take our time and didn't rush us after we were done. The food was good too. I don't like shrimp, but I tried a little of the bang bang and it was good. Perhaps because it was fried. I ordered the mahi mahi with a side of all four of their sauces, since it was my first time and didn't know which I would like best. I decided I like the pan asian the best, with the chimichurri coming in second. Overall it was a great night with great service and I would love to go back again. Only caveat: don't try to reheat the mahi mahi the next day. I got sick for 24 hours from the leftover fish... oh well, lesson learned. read more

Brunch at Bonefish is to die for. Great Bloody Mary drinks. I had the Filet and Lobster Bennie and my partner had Oscar Omlette. Both were delicious and we'll prepared. Will be back for sure read more

One of my wife's and my favorite places to eat. Their seafood is very good, and they have a couple of non-seafood dishes that I have tried that are also delicious. We frequent here often, and I would recommend it to friends and family. read more

My husband and I have gone here many times. The food is always on point and service has been good as well. We have never been disappointed. We normally get the sea bass but we've tried a few other dishes such as their Arctic char and crab cake stuffed soft shell crab ( both were excellent ). We like to get the creme brûlée for dessert, which is one of the best ones we've had. We highly recommend them for a seafood restaurant choice. read more

Bonefish is one of our favorite restaurants in Columbus. It certainly doesn't hurt that it is right down the road from us in Hilliard, but it is not just the convenient location that keeps us coming back over and over again...it is the food! We order a variation of the same thing every time and share: the bang bang shrimp appetizer (probably the best thing on their menu), the ahi tuna appetizer (just delicious), and then a third appetizer or entree -- depends on what appeals to us that night; last time it was the crab cakes which were great. The only negative is that it can get very crowded on Friday and Saturday nights so be sure to make a reservation or you may have to wait for a while! read more

Shitty parking. Ugh. It took forever to get a spot. The actual restaurant was ok - nice decor, seated promptly, drink orders taken quickly. The Sour Apple Martini was delicious and pretty strong. They also sell Stella Artois - weak gassy European lagar ftw!! We shared a calamari starter which was cooked perfectly but a little bit too greasy. I had the scallops and shrimp in lemon butter ($16ish) which were also nicely cooked, and not rubbery at all. He had the pistachio Parmesan trout also with lemon butter ($18ish) which he said was melt-in-the-mouth delicious. We both opted for the garlic mashed potatoes which I LOVED - smooth, creamy, yummy roasted garlic - but he was kinda meh about. All in all, this was a nice meal. Service was excellent. I can't give it 5 stars because of the parking, and seafood isn't really my thang. read more

Bonefish grill gets three stars from me not because it is bad but rather because I don't feel the experience merits the price tag. We dined here for dinner and food was good but not great. My entree tasted good but the presentation missed the mark as the seasonal veggie is spaghetti squash (which I like) that when put on a plate along fish makes for a rather colorless bland presentation. Also if you are a craft beer lover this is not your place. The drafts are limited to a few of the generic mega brewery options and other than a few other bottled beers the options are slim. I have to give the staff high marks as they were extremely friendly and attentive. Overall it is ok but really could be much better with just a couple of tweaks. read more
