Lexi B.

Love Bonefish Grill especially martini Monday's! $5 martini's you can't beat that. Martini's is always crisp and refreshing. I also get their crab cakes which are delicious. I finally tried their mussels. So glad I did they were excellent! The waiters are always friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is always welcoming.

My burger - the patty was pretty black.

My wife and I decided to stay in Lafayette for the night and this place was across from our hotel. Since it was within walking distance we gave it a shot. We probably should have looked at the reviews first. Service was excellent - Amelia our server was great, took our orders quickly, and was just great all around. The problem was the food. My hamburger was overdone- the patty was black and it wasn't from blackening spices. The patty was cooked too long and tasted burnt. I ordered a Caesar salad that was completely over dressed to the point that I couldn't eat it. My wife's salad was lacking and didn't have much apart from shaved Brussels sprouts and romaine lettuce. Too bad. Great ambience in the place, friendly staff but they dropped the ball with the food, which was surprising given that it didn't seem like a very busy night for them.

Bonefish Brunch Event

The side Ceasar and garden salad was sent back due to TOO much dressing. The bang bang shrimp was to die for! It was our 33rd wedding anniversary and left somewhat disappointed. The elegance is not there and I have been a BFG ADVOCATE for years.

Espresso Martini & Pumpkin Creme Brulee
Brittany L.

Whenever I visit Bonefish Grill, I'm always impressed not just by their dinners, but also their cocktails and appetizers. This visit, a friend and I decide to pair our espresso martinis with a dessert. To our delight, they have reintroduced their crème brûlée with a seasonal twist--it's now pumpkin flavored! As a pumpkin enthusiast, I find it absolutely sublime. Even if you're uncertain about pumpkin, the flavor here is beautifully subtle, less intense than pumpkin pie, and it just melts in your mouth. Another tip: when ordering espresso martinis, ask for real espresso to be used. It truly elevates the drink to another level! Beyond the food and drinks, the service at Bonefish Grill consistently stands out. The staff is attentive, friendly, and always makes sure your dining experience is top-notch. If you're in the mood for excellent drinks, delectable desserts, and first-rate service, Bonefish Grill is the place to be. Especially because they have social hour everyday from 3-6pm. Dinner here is always impressive as well. If you're looking for an elevated dining experience, Bonefish is the way to go!

Found the food to be just ok. Nothing special about this place. I also found the seating a bit crowded. The Sea Bass is a must have.

Responding to Chelsa K.'s 1* review. As I am someone who was in the restaurant when it happened…read more I just think it's funny how you aren't mentioning y'all came in as 6 people and then wanted accommodations for 30 people during one of the busiest times of the night. Or that they argued with the amazing manager for nearly an hour total after being told they couldn't accommodate that size party. They're also leaving out the part where people from their group marched in and seated themselves, stood over occupied tables waiting for guests to leave, insisting the hosts clean the tables, and made the entire restaurant uncomfortable. This had nothing to do with race and everything to do with behavior. Any group acting like that would've gotten the exact same response. In short, do better. Y'all came in and ruined everyone's dinner because y'all don't know how to plan ahead. Stop blaming people for your mistakes and take accountability.

This restaurant is known for their crawfish unfortunately I visited for a weekday lunch and they…read morewere posting a sign on the doors after I had walked in stating they don't serve crawfish until 4pm weekdays, 3pm on weekends. This may have been part of the reason its wasn't all that busy on a Tuesday lunch. Similar to some other restaurants in Louisiana I've visited, they have a side with a bar, to-go area and high tops, and a more family oriented side of the restaurant with a bunch of low top tables. Fried pork rinds are served with every table. They have daily plate lunches and the one day I came it was chicken fried steak. However, it's not usually a good idea to order CFS outside of Texas in my experience. Therefore, I ended up ordering the catfish and shrimp platter, served grilled instead and added a $5 strawberry margarita. The entree comes with a side salad but they only have seelct dressings and none which I would typically order, so i just settled on honey mustard. Margarita- for only $5 it's not bad and comes with either sugar or salt rim Catfish and shrimp platter - seasoned with a blackened seasoning but it wasn't spicy. The catfish filet was small and tasted like it was previously frozen. The shrimp were also small and didn't taste much better. Not sure I'd return if ever in Lafayette, as I was really looking for a more festive environment and more grilled options.

From start to finish, this was a memorable evening. Our servers a young man and lady were…read morefantastic: attentive, friendly, and made the night even better. First Course: We began with the oyster sampler featuring Charbroiled, Bienville, Orleans, and Rockefeller styles. Each had its own unique flavor profile, and together they made a great introduction to the meal. Second Course: A crisp romaine and spring mix salad paired with a crawfish, crab, and corn bisque. The bisque was rich and comforting, perfectly balanced by the freshness of the salad. Main Course Highlights: Almond-crusted paneed chicken finished with roasted red bell pepper aioli. Grilled portabella mushroom stuffed with Gulf blue crab, shrimp, peppers, and spinach, topped with lemon aioli and parmesan. Filet Orleans (which I didn't try since I don't eat beef, but others raved about it). Dessert: The finale was a Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding drizzled with a decadent sauce -- warm, sweet, and absolutely delicious. Overall, the combination of excellent service, creative dishes, and indulgent dessert made this Yelp Event a true standout.

Love love love the chargrilled oysters! I came in and had the chef's special chargrilled oysters…read more Omg, it was so good! My server wasn't the best. She was very friendly but forgot that I ordered a crab cake. I let her know and she was like, do you still want it. Kinda awkward , so I said no. I really wanted to try it :-( Also, after I ordered my dessert which was the banana foster cheesecake she forgot that I wanted her to close and bring my check. I'm sure it was just an off day for her. I will still go back and have oysters. Food is really great!

We went to Ruffino's on the River for my wife's birthday. We've eaten here quite a few times over…read morethe years and were really looking forward to coming back. The only disappointment was finding out our favorite appetizer, the pork cheeks, is no longer on the menu. We decided to try the crabmeat cheesecake instead, and it was pretty good. For our entrées, my wife ordered the Fish Katie, which was as good as always, and I had the lamb chop special. The lamb chops were cooked well and had great flavor. To top off the evening, the staff brought out cotton candy and a slice of olive oil cake for my wife's birthday, which was a nice touch and made the celebration feel special. Overall, we had a very enjoyable dinner with good food and attentive service. We definitely plan on coming back and hope the pork cheeks make a return to the menu someday!

This is our second time going to Ruffino's. The first time we went, the food was excellent, but…read moreservice was lackluster. The waiter completely forgot to put in our salad order, but made up for it by bringing us a salad at the end of our meal and comping it. An honest mistake and the dishes we ordered were delicious so they made up for it. They also gave us cotton candy, which I love. The crawfish cheesecake was really good and the veal parm was very tasty. Tonight was an even worse experience. We had reservations for my daughter's Sweet 16 birthday, which you know is an important occasion. My son is allergic to dairy so he was limited in what he could order, which is understandable. He ordered the Wagyu burger, and the waiter unfortunately told us that they were out of Wagyu, so we had to piece together something else for him to eat. After ordering one of their specials - the fried brisket, with a side containing dairy, we swapped it out for truffle fries with no cheese. Minutes later, the waiter came to our table, telling us they were out of truffle fries. Moving along, he suggested the fried brussels sprouts. Once again, several minutes later, he returned saying they were out of brussels sprouts, so we just ordered whatever we could at that point. I ordered veal marsala, which was ok but not great. My daughter ordered spaghetti and meatballs, and the dish was just overall very bland. There were random lasagna noodles in her spaghetti, which made it seem like they just scraped the bottom of the pot for noodles. Everything looked like it was left over from the day. My husband ordered the same thing we had at our first dinner - veal parm, and the portion was significantly reduced from the first time he had it. It was also lackluster in appearance and the cheese looked like it had basically been microwaved. Probably not but it had no baked golden color whatsoever. Perhaps the most disappointing occurrence was that we called ahead to see if we should bring our own candle for my daughter's birthday dessert. We were told we could, but that they had sparklers. I thought sparklers would be an amazing alternative to a candle, so we left our candle at home. There were two other tables seated in our section, celebrating birthdays. One table's birthday dish came out with a sparkler, but when they brought out my daughter's dessert, no sparkler. Really?! The other table next to us had their dessert presented after us and they GAVE THEM A SPARKLER. Excuse me?? The idea of giving two tables full of grown-ups sparklers, but not a 16-year-old a sparkler, made us feel like we were an afterthought. Good thing my daughter and I were in the bathroom, washing our hands, when the second table received their sparkler, because I would've been very upset for her watching other people receive delightful birthday desserts, but not her. I think most of the issues with communicating that dishes were out of stock fell on the kitchen staff and not our waiter. Our waiter Dominic was very nice and apologetic, otherwise, I would probably give an even lower rating. You could tell he was very uncomfortable to deliver us the bad news over and over again. He did comp our desserts, so that was appreciated. We tipped him handsomely and went on our way. We are likely to not return, since they seem to have a serious breakdown of communication as well as consistency. When you pay $300 for a meal, especially for an important occasion, you expect the establishment to be on their game. Nobody wants to be at a fine dining venue and meet that much disappointment. Unfortunately, it was a not so Sweet 16.
