Food good. I was there tues no mention of the specials where I could have gotten a lot more value.

The nice thing about Bonefish Grill's everywhere is the you know what to expect and all locations are very consistent. Everyone will agree that the bang bang shrimp are awesome. I enjoy their fish options and seasonal martini specials. read more

This was our second visit to Bonefish Grill and they did not disappoint! I had the Alaskan fish and chips and my husband had haddock. All was delicious! We will be back! read more

They put sugar (yes sugar) into my steamed mussels. That's right. And when I said so, they told me it was sweet because of anisette. I am from the Aegean, we drink anisette based drinks and even eat it. It is not sugar, I know that much. When the manager personally brought me my new order of mussels, he gave me an unkind look, as if it was my fault that they were sweet. My wife couldn't finish her fish (cod?) either, it had all sorts of stuff on it that made it sweet and sour. Calamari was by far the worst I have ever had. It tasted like a styrofoam coffee cup from Dunking Donuts. I am not making it up. It was probably freeze dried and then microwaved after having been cooked long ago. I don't know, it had zero taste and zero body. Brussel sprouts were equally bad. Unnecessarily elaborated and instead of tasting like veggies they tasted like bacon and cheese. Why? Is your food not fresh? Are you trying to disguise its smell or something? My guess is the cook knows nothing about fish or s/he has been forced to cook this crap. I strongly suggest the manager be taken to Brussels and eat real steamed mussels, as well as go have some fish and calamari elsewhere. What is wrong with olive oil and lemon, and simple sea food, and simple recipes? Calamari is done same in Turkey, Greece and Italy. Mussels are likewise, to be found in many pub fair restaurants in Maryland. And if you can't make a cod filet, why bother opening a restaurant? For the money they charge, they deserve to be closed down right away. But they did have fresh beer, so we drank our sorrows. And paid the bill. read more

Last night, my mom and I took my sister-in-law to Bonefish Grill Kentlands to celebrate her birthday! Our waiter was VERY attentive, helpful with menu choices, and the food couldn't have been better! When he overheard it was her birthday, he offered her a complimentary dessert (her choice!) I'm thinking of heading there again tonight for some more Bang Bang shrimp (Wednesday Special!) NOTE: Bang Bang shrimp added to their house salad (with more Bang Bang Sauce on side to use as a dressing) is my favorite meal. Seriously Good!!!~ But then everything I've tried there has been excellent, and their portions generous. They're usually busy, so I strongly recommend reservations. read more

Have gone to this Bonefish grill several times. Last night had to be the most disappointing dining experience I've had at a restaurant in years. Four of us went for an early dinner and arrived at 5:00PM. Didn't seem like they were ready to host people for dinner at that time. We ordered 3 apps - bang bang shrimp, bacon wrapped sea scallops and the calamari. Waited a bit for them to arrive, but we weren't in a rush. These were the highlight of the evening. I'd give them 9/10 for that. Ordered 2 Sirloin and Crab dinners, Lobster Thermidor Pacific Rockfish and a grilled salmon. One sirloin came prepared as requested and all the other meals were way over cooked. Looking back, I think we should have sent all 3 back, but since we were waiting for so long and service was slow we bit the bullet. I had the Lobster Thermidor Pacific Rockfish and it was a small, tough, overcooked piece. The little bit of lobster and crab that came on top of the overcooked Rockfish was tasteless and bland. There was a problem in the kitchen and I'd say we waited at least 20-25 minutes after our apps were finished for the dinners to be served. Our waitress disappeared and empty glasses were only refilled after waving other people down. The place was not that busy and we probably won't consider going there again. read more

I always enjoy Bonefish. Bar is casual, the food is good and priced right. Wait times without a reservation can be long. Non fish choices are excellent too. Lots of tasty appetizers to choose from. read more

Entrees: Fish and Chips; 8 oz Filet Mignon with mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables When: Friday, May 13, 2011 My wife and I tried this restaurant upon personal recommendation. After hearing very good things about Bonefish Grill's signature entrees (including the Bang Bang shrimp), I was left disappointed. Here's the breakdown: The Good: The restaurant has great ambiance. The staging in the dining room is nice, and the bar atmosphere is not too loud or dim. Restaurant was very clean as well as the bathrooms. Waitstaff was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The food is very affordable for fresh seafood. The Bad: For such glowing recommendations, the food was very disappointing. #1 - If a restaurant is going to sample it's signature appetizer (the bang bang shrimp), that food should be hot or warm, not room temperature. I appreciate the gesture, and it's a great idea. A hot appetizer served barely warm is a turn-off. I understand the Asian flavor, but why does this dish have a weird chemical after-taste? #2 - The fish and chips. I read great things about the fish and chips--"not too greasy," "great flavor," and "moist fresh fish." None of these things were accurate. I was served three planks of cod on a bed of fries. The first plank was delicious--moist, fresh, hot, and crunchy. The second plank was dripping in grease, and the third plank had no fish in it. I was left with a batter shell where the fish had fallen out in the fryer. The fries were bland and absorbed all of the excess grease. The brown paper the entree is served on was drenched by the end of the meal. The filet. When you order a steak, it should be cooked to order--no excuses. My wife ordered medium-well and received a barely medium steak. I understand those who order and don't know what they are getting in return, but this was clearly an error on the kitchen's part. When we needed a waiter to return for a possible sendback, there was no one in sight. We got the customary "check-in," a single minute after we received the food. Not enough time to ascertain if everything was okay. The Ugly: The wait. It was Friday night about 5:45 when we arrived. Full disclosure, we did not have a reservation (did not know that they took one). Our posted wait time was 30-40 minutes which turned into 45 minutes. That's no problem....BUT.... After being seated, it took 45 MINUTES MORE to receive our entree. We did not order an appetizer. From door to entree, it was a 90-minute wait. At about the 80 minute mark, we had bread given to us by the staff with no other check-ins. That's egregious!! One particular waiter: A lot of the staff did an amazing job as I was watching other tables. However, one server spent 20 minutes having a very loud conversation with a table near us about raising infants. It wasn't the topic. It was just the duration of the conversation and the volume with which the server spoke. I'm sure the server's other tables were very agitated at seeing their waiter speak at length to one table without checking in. The music: There is no need for music when the restaurant is already full of conversation. It got pretty noisy with the extra noise. read more

Bang bang lives up to it's reputation! Everything is so fresh and good AND affordable! The only complaint is that it gets so crowded and almost impossible to get in w/o making a reservation well in advance, but that's great for them! read more

Got food poisoning and manager Jake could care less! Made an unfortunate choice to be taken to this place by friend for my birthday dinner. Thought was having a nice meal from 5:30 to 7pm Sunday, Jan 11, 2015 but at 7:30 became very ill and had to cancel movie. Called the place Monday and got only excuses with never once an apology for having to be violently ill from 7:30 to midnight! Will never go to this place again or any Bonefish again read more

I wish here the other day with my boyfriend. I ordered a martini drink which was very good and had a pretty magnolia flower in it... Our server recommended us a seafood dish I believe it's a trout fish which was very scrumptious. Overall experience was great. Definitely need to make reservations early on Friday nights or you'll be waiting read more

Bonefish has one of the best happy fm hours around. You can't beat the house Chardonnay during happy hour to go along with the complimentary bread. The fish and chips are all high on my list. read more

Sunday Brunch. 11am. Ordered coffee. Server informed me there would be a 5 minute wait since there was no coffee. How does a restaurant serving Sunday brunch fail to have coffee at 11am? The coffee arrived 10 minutes later in a dirty cup. Then we were presented with dinner menus, not brunch menus. The food, when it finally arrived, was great but the service was slow and inept. read more

We've always liked this restaurant, but last night the service, food and price were all terrific. We wanted a booth so had to sit in the bar area which was actually fairly quiet. We were waited on promptly and our dinners came as soon as we had finished out salads. My filet mignon was very tender and cooked just right, and my wife also enjoyed her salmon. Since this was our fourth visit, we got a 50% discount on our food. The manager came by to make sure we were satisfied, and our waitress from our previous visit also stopped by for a brief chat. All-in-all, a great dinner. Note: Must be a "Dine Rewards" member to get discount. read more

Have been to this location a number of times and usually had to wait. That's not a bad thing. It was due to good food and atmosphere. It has been some time since our last visit and tonight was a different story. No wait, as not many people inside. Walked in to a freezing climate. The few people around us all complaining how cold it was. Bread came out and sent it away as it was so hard I was worried about chipping a tooth. 10 min to get our drinks in a deserted restaurant. Tried to rush out before frostbite set in and still took over an hour to get out of there. read more

Bonefish Grill in the Kentlands is one of my favorite places to go for dinner or a quick bite. It is a chain, but doesn't seem to act like one. The food is fantastic! Try the Bang Bang Shrimp, Bacon Wrapped Scallops or Tuna Sashimi appetizers... they are all amazing! The martinis are great, as long as you get a bartender who knows what they are doing. They do have one there that, for lack of a better term, seems to be a knucklehead when it comes to mixology. But the rest of the place is fantastic! The restaurant is very small and crowded almost every night of the week. So you be best to make reservations or plan on sitting in the bar while you wait for a table, sometimes up to an hour. The bar does have some large community-type tables that are open seating. The price is very reasonable too, considering that the food is really fresh and of good quality. read more

bang bang shrimp are good - the breaded food is very breaded. took awhile to get the food out. great servers, friendly and nice setting. the alcohol menue is longer than the food one! i'm not sure if thats good or bad read more

We found the Bonefish in Gaithersburg to be rather less than we had hoped, particularly in comparison to another Bonefish operation in another city, which we visited several times, always with great satisfaction. We found service, decor and food at the Gaithersburg location to be lackluster, and will not be back. read more

We used to go to this Bonefish often but for some reason stopped. Last week we were in the area and stopped in for a drink during happy hour, and it was a nice break. Last night we took one of our kids with us and rediscovered why we stopped going to Bonefish. When we got there we got a table in the bar, nice since there were only about 6 other people there. We sat, and waited, someone had forgotten something in the car so I walked out and got it, then walked back in. The waitress arrived at the same time. 10 minutes or so in an empty restaurant is a bit long to see a server. She took the other 2 drink orders (I had no idea what I wanted since they didn't have an IPA on tap, so said I would order when she got back.) Ever say that and know you were wrong......so we waited. After she walked around a bit (She didn't appear to have any other tables) she did come back. Of course not with water or bread or anything; but she came to take orders. We asked for the appetizer to be first, then entrees. Salads came out, and we asked what happened, we wanted the appetizer first. She said she thought we meant we wanted the salad first. I am not sure what she was actually thinking, but she brought the appetizer right after the salads. ????? We finished the appetizers, but didn't have time to finish salads before the main dish came. My wife asked what their house white was (it was happy hour) and the waitress said, chardonnay. Then she said they had a pinot and it was the cheap one. I realize webwere wearing casual clothes, but "the cheap one," really? The steak thay came was way undercooked, but the waitress never came back, so rather than stay hungry my child are it. Fish was good, cod sliders were very good. The only 2 times we saw the waitress were when she came by to clear plates. Her attitude made us feel like we were bothering her. We had dessert coming, but got it to go because nobody wanted to stay any longer. Brownie was good, coconut pie tasted like coconut cream quiche and hit the trash after 2 bites. Overall, this was a terrible visit supported by ok food but finished with 50-50 desserts. The service was atrocious and there is no way the food could have made up for it even if it was good. I would suggest going to.....well anywhere else. read more

I seriously don't understand why this place has the reputation it does, because it didn't meet anywhere near my expectations. My family and I went here for my mom's birthday based on rave reviews by some friends. The place was pretty busy for a weeknight, and I was looking forward to having some good seafood. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. To start off, we ordered the ahi tuna sashimi, which came covered in a variety of sauces that almost completely covered the taste of the fish, and the bang bang shrimp (since they were having a special). The shrimp were also too saucy for my liking, but my mother loved them so I guess they were okay. For my entree I ordered the grouper with mango salsa. Now, I would first like to say that I love grouper and I love the combination of fish and mango salsa. I've cooked tilapia with mango salsa several times, and I've used both freshly prepared salsa and salsa from a jar when I'm a bit lazy. And let me tell you, the salsa served at bonefish tasted almost EXACTLY like the mango salsa you can buy in a large jar at costco. The grouper was nothing spectacular either, the rice tasted like the rice served at chipotle (not necessarily a bad thing) and the vegetable was just a TINY serving of succotash. The meal wasn't BAD, but it really irked paying over $20 for a meal you felt like you could've cooked yourself for much less (and done a better job of it too!). Furthermore, my mom's fish was almost RAW, and she ordered the same thing I did. Very undercooked, which was a shame considering it was her birthday. She felt bad complaining, so she ended up just not eating most of it. My grandmother ordered the crab cakes, which were decent - very meaty, little filling. The service was okay. Overall, it was overpriced, very mediocre food. Go somewhere else if you want really GOOD seafood. read more

I have been to many seafood restaurants and Bonefish is one of the best. The food is fresh and very tasty! It is a bit pricey, but it is worth it! read more

Though it was one of my favorite restaurants around town, the last 2 vists has been aweful enough not to go back again. First time they forgot to bring our appetizer and the situation was explained as they simply forgot to put the order in.. fair enough. Next time got the same waiter, this time no bread, forgot the appetizer again, had to call the manager to explain him that this has happened twice.. Not really apologetic behaviour that one will expect. Sure not going back there for a long time. read more

The food is always good. Weekends are very busy but worth the wait. The atmosphere is nice service is good. I have yet to go here and have a bad meal. Love the bang bang shrimp. The Wolf fish is great as well as the Chilean sea bass. Salads good and its a good value. Love this place read more

Came here with the wife last night. Got the crab cakes and the wife got the cod. Both were good. Ordered a cap and coke and it was made strong. Crab cakes were small but had lump crab meat. Service was good also. read more

If you love fish and nice service then check it out. If you like fish to be well done, you should let them know. Because couple of times it did not look like it was fully done - so they had to take it back. Thus 4 stars. read more

Last night we had dinner here and I could not be any more disgusted on how our server Talmadge treated us! At first he was really awesome and I even made the comment that I liked him and he was in for a real good tip. We had my two grandsons with us, and I know it isn't a "kid friendly" place, but we did have a grumpy and tired baby. He cried a bit and we all took turns going outside with him as to not ruin other people dining experience. It took a while for us all to make up our mind and it seemed that Mr. Talmadge got irritated with us. Upon taking our order, he was disengaged as we ordered, looking at other tables and not paying attention. I ended up with two vegetables and my son in law got the Chilean sea bass with the wrong sauce. He never tried to fix it and never even noticed it was wrong, then another person from the kitchen brought out the correct sauce. Not once did they offer to remake it, and his fish was already saturated with the mango flavor. So he didn't get to enjoy what it was he ordered. Then, he comes at the end of dinner and asks me if I'd like another coke! Shouldn't you have just brought me one? The main problem I'd like to address is that after taking our orders, he literally sighed heavily at us as if we bothered him and as if we weren't worth anything. I can't stand that people treat us as if we are any less of a human! We were ther spending OUR hard earn money and I feel we were treated unfairly. The food was actually very poorly cooked and was not good at all. Needless to say we will not return to this Bonefish Grill and I am very sad as this is one of my favorite places to treat myself occasionally. Talmadge could also use a few tips on how to treat people with respect! Thank you, Unsatified Cutomer! read more

It is simply too loud here and one has to speak with highly elevated voice! The food is decent, but the music is thumping and waaay too loud on a Monday night with only twelve people in the restaurant, it's unbearably loud. Plus, our waitress was very slow about everything. We arrived at 6:40 p.m., and she didn't even bring bread to us until 7:30 p.m.! As I mentioned, the restaurant wasn't crowded, so there's no excuse for her delays in every stage of our meal and payment too! read more

Good service, bad food. I ordered the steak and crab cake. The sirloin was really tough, even to cut with their steak knife, the crab cake was very small, maybe two ounces. The crab cake tasted only but , it had a lot of breading and pepper and was almost of a liquid consistency. read more

We've eaten at this location fairly often mostly because it's a nice menu for those who enjoy seafood and those who don't. However came here on Sunday evening and was not impressed. I asked about the bbq pork chop and was told right away it wasn't available, so I ordered the Kobe burger only to be told by the server well there was one left when I got in but it might not be there now so give me an alternative order which I did. Of course when I got served it was the alternative - the Fontina chop which I must say was good. The reason I was given for the lack of menu options was that "it had been a busy weekend". Still strikes me as strange and a bit disconcerting. So bottom line is I doubt we will back any time soon as there are plenty more options in the area. Sorry I didn't raise the issue with the manager while we were there but it was disappointing and I'm wondering if this is just a sign that Bonefish isn't what it used to be. read more

I have been coming to Bonefish for years and this was the one of the worst experiences I've had. We came in at 2pm and the Resturant had less than 5 tables occupied. My party was seven (three adults and four kids,) the host tried to squeeze all the kids in booth after we asked for a table. Another adult in our party showed up and we apologized and told them we have another person to our party. He responded with a loud sigh and said, "next time you need to set a reservation for eight." Keep in mind the restaurant had less than five tables occupied and to respond with that comment was rude. After we sat down I took my daughter to use the restroom. The restroom had paper towels in the flower and one of the toilets was broken and was not flushed. We used the other toilet and it was fine. While we were in the toilet we saw at least 10 fruit flies swarming in there. The sink was worse. There were flies coming out of the drain, flying into our faces, and on the mirror while washing our hands. At that point we just wanted to get out the restroom. Later on, we ordered from our waiter who was great, he expressed that they were short staffed, and would take care of whatever issues we had. We ordered our food and drinks where 1 out of 2 mojitos tasted watery and had way too much rum with no simple syrup used. We sent it back. As we are eating, there were fruit flies flying around our food and the restaurant. Our bill was $118 just to put it out there. During an off peak time for this resturant, you would think the up keeping, service, and politeness of the staff would be better. We requested for a manager but they were busy and we had to leave. At this point the time is 330pm and the resturant was slowly picking up. I was very disappointed with this experience. read more

I love bonefish grill. the food is awesome but after tonight, i don't think i will be going back anytime soon. usually when you get there, you have a choice of using the revolving door or just the regular door. when my friends and i got there, the regular door was locked so the only way to get in was through the revolving door. now this may be a bit challenging to deal with especially for people in wheelchairs or young kids that want to play in the door. but in my case, it was my anxiety. after a terrible incident that i witnessed when i was younger, i've had a big problem with revolving doors. my friend knows this so she went inside and asked the hostesses if they could unlock the regular door. "it got cold so thats why we are keeping it locked" is what they said. so already freaking out about the revolving door, NOW i'm freaking out that i'm not going to be able to eat bc they did not want to unlock the door for me to come in. eventually, my friend managed to calm me down and guide me through the door while i had my eyes shield shut. i get this may be an overreacting review but the panic attack i had tonight made the decision for me not to come back here. read more

Really enjoyed my salmon and my partners salmon! Got the miso glazed one and she got the create your own, which i thought was cute. Loved the bang bang shrimp. We came on Wednesday so there was a bang bang shrimp deal! read more

I love Bonefish! We've been there a lot and it's always been a very positive experience. I always order the same thing because it is so yummy - the Chilean Sea Bass with the Mango Salsa. I then order the mashed potatoes and pay the slight upgrade to order another side dish instead of the "vegetable garnish". I usually order the steamed veggies. My s.o. loves the potatoes au gratin. I do always call before and do the "call ahead seating" so we don't have to wait when we get there. read more

Major disappointment with the food.... My daughter and I decided to stop here for dinner. She ordered a medium well steak with mac and cheese. The steak was hardly medium-well. More like medium-rare. Completely uncooked and no flavor at all! She did enjoy her mac and cheese. I ordered the salmon with mac and cheese and asparagus. The salmon was also without taste. The one thing I did enjoy was the dessert. The rum bread pudding. The service was okay. The food just made for a really bad experience. I guess after seeing this place so packed all the time and the expensive prices, I expected the food to be quality. Not so. read more

Bonefish has always been a good go to for a group or just two. With their new bar specials on Sunday it is fantastic..discounted appetizers and drinks..what's not to like. My wife had 3 appetizers and 3 mixed drinks, all of extraordinary taste and value, with tip and tax for less than $45!!! Plus we got to see the Cavs wrap it up and Barcelona top RMA. read more

Ate here for lunch. Got the blackened fish taco and I now have food poisoning. Avoid this place.

We had a limited amount of time to eat. We were shown to a table but no one bothered to check on us. For fifteen minutes. No water, no bread, no order, nothing. Upon walking out the staff acted as if there was no problem in not providing ANY service let alone good service. Find somewhere else to eat. read more

I've been to Bonefish several times (not by choice). The bang bang shrimp is a popular item and it's half price on Wednesdays. Their fish tacos were nothing to rave about. I recently had their spicy tuna bowl which was a new item on the menu. It was a seared tuna bowl... There was nothing spicy about it. They have a selection of fish where you could choose the way you want it made. Also nothing spectacular.. I've had better. I used to love the chocolate creme brulee but the last couple times, they put a little too much alcohol in it. read more

Bang Bang Shrimp and the seasonal Soft Crab special = enough said. I have never dined ay Bonefish Grill until a few weeks ago to attend a birthday dinner at the Pentagon Row location. I of course looked through my yelp app to read the reviews and check out the photos for recommendations and boy did it not disappoint. The deep fried battered shrimp was delicious, so much so that I did not want to share a single one with my friends. I eventually did giving them each (there were a total of five of us) two each lol. Note the shrimp comes on top of a bed of lettuce so don't be fooled by the portion size displayed in photos. Granted the portions are huge but not as huge as you would think. Our server, can't remember his name, was courteous, knowledgeable and kind. The restaurant even provided a sweet birthday card. Anyway I tried the shrimp and since I was still hungry (I'm greedy), I took a chance and ordered the soft shell crab with the lemon caper sauce. Omg yummy. You don't even need the sauce but I applied it anyway and it was heavenly. When I received an email from the restaurant that the soft shell crab special will be discontinued in a couple weeks, I had to revisit so I went with a friend to the Gaithersburg/Kentlands location yesterday and once again I ordered the exact same items when I dined at the Pentagon Row location and the good was tasty. Bonefish, you made me a fan and I look forward to dining here soon. Shout out to our gracious server at the Kentlands location, Peter H, for doing a phenomenal job. read more

Great time at Bonefish. The new manager, Jeremy, was very accommodating and super nice! Will definitely go back for the bang bang shrimp and scallops. read more
