A Friday night dinner with friends. It was a slow night. The food was excellent. Service was okay. The server was nice but seemed disorganized. On previous visits they brought really good bread with our drinks. We didn't get bread this visit. Halfway through the meal our server asked if we'd like some. We said yes but it never arrived. It's the little things. We stared with the crab cakes $15.90 for two. Dinners do not include soup or salad. A side Caesar salad is $5.90 and the lobster bisque is $8.90. Our table ordered the De Mar linguine the special $18.90, the thermidor filet another special $37.90, sea bass $38.90 and the salmon $25.50. Most dinners come with two side with an upcharge of $3.90 for a signature side. Of course you want the upgraded sides. Cocktail prices are on par with other area restaurants. The food was excellent. We enjoyed our evening and will dine here again. read more

Amazing food & equally amazing service. We used the online reservation system to book a table beforehand. We arrived about 10 minutes early & were promptly given a table. Our server did an amazing job with the recommendations. We went for their special appetizer - shrimp dips, for entree we ordered the crab cakes & sirloin steak & shrimp combo with a side of creamy Parmesan risotto. Ended with their chocolate crème brûlée. Food tasted really good. The place felt a little towards a fine dining experience but more casual. Would go again when we feel like having a fine dining date night (without the fancy pricing of a fine dine experience) read more

Disappointing. Bonefish NC, Florida and even the one that used to be at the west end in the twin cities was fabulous! Not this one here in Madison. It's gone down hill. Very disappointing. And to top it off, one of my pet peeves is my napkin is on top of the panko forward cod fork and knife on top of the napkin and the bartender ask if I was done with my meal ‍ read more

Disappointed in the fish tacos. Very dull with no flavor. They need to season or add something else.

We got a gift card and bonefish grill was one of the places it was accepted. I've wanted to try Bonefish since I moved to Madison. Our server was friendly but forgot to ask if we wanted refills/more water during our meal. She did refill promptly once we asked though! The hype about the bang bang shrimp is real. Amazing. Didn't even get a picture because it was GONE. The soft warm bread they serve before your meal is also incredible and how tasty the pesto dipping sauce cannot be explained, only experienced. I ordered the steak with mashed potatoes and upgraded to brussell sprouts for sides. Mashed potatoes were average but the brussel sprouts were fantastic! Steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Will definitely be back to try more items and eat more bread!! read more

We went into Bonefish Grill on a Sunday afternoon, it was the second time I've been there. I had the twin lobster tails, Brussel sprouts and Mac and cheese. I'm not big on vegetables but the Brussel sprouts were delicious! And happy our drinks were good. read more

We walked in at 5pm. More than half the restaurant is empty and we're told it would be an hour wait. So we sat at the bar with our 10 year old. We ordered a scallop and shrimp scampi pasta for my wife and I to split (it tasted excellent but it had the smallest scallops we've ever seen). We also ordered the only burger on the menu for our son (which comes with fries and coleslaw) and asked to leave it plain with nothing else on it just cheese and ketchup. The bartender/waitress seemed confused and asked "no beef?". We said no, we do want beef, cheese and ketchup, nothing else on it. It came out pretty - with all the ingredients, onion, lettuce, some other sauce, no ketchup, no fries, no coleslaw. WTF? We tried to take off all the ingredients but ultimately we had to have the burger made and ask for the fries we were missing. Later the bartender said that she realized her mistake afterward and was sorry because she had been here for eight hours... we struggled against the glass of beer I ordered when I first got here sat empty for 20 minutes as well (remember we're at the bar and the bartender/waitress had to come over four times). I don't know what these guys have going on that no one is here and they cant keep up, but I would not recommend. read more

This was our first time visiting Bonefish Grill and we really enjoyed it. The food portions were much better than expected. Our waiter was on top of everything he took amazing care of us! Overall it looked very fancy but kid friendly. My daughter enjoyed being able to color on the paper atop the table. It was such a nice experience and very calm setting. This may be a great go to place for my family. read more

Before I give my review about the food, our waitress Nina was the best. I walked out of my house with the wrong debit card, I was super embarrassed because I had to pay the rest of the bill in quarters. She was so kind about it, I could have curled in a hole and cried. The servers were great too, I came back to give her a tip and a customer was being rude to the servers. I wanted to say something to the customer but I do not think it would have been pretty. Okay why does people think that this restaurant is a five star restaurant. The calamari had to much breading and it was rubbery. Who wants to chew on rubber. The mashed potatoes were okay, the soup was good. But the best part of the meal was the bread & drinks. Sorry I do not give this a five star review like people talk about it. read more

My wife and I recently dined here, and although the food was decent, we were visited by a manager who was visibly sick and not wearing a mask!! He was coughing and sneezing all over and we felt unsafe with him being in such close proximity to our food ESPECIALLY without a mask. Upon inquiry, our server informed us that he doesn't just have a cold, he has the FLU along with half of their kitchen staff! The customers there, at least at the time we dined, were primarily 75+ and it scares me to think of them being served infected food. The blatant disregard for customer's wellbeing by not wearing a mask and continuing to serve food is disturbing to me. If most of your staff is sick, CLOSE THE RESTAURANT. We will not be returning. read more

Came for Valentine's and they were giving out roses, so cute! Our waitress was great, the place was packed and both our food and those around us all came out quickly. Bang Bang shrimp is just as good as everyone says. Also, as we waited the manager came around w chardonnay samples and shrimp later on! read more

How I miss Bonefish Grill, so happy we found one here. I of course had fish and chips while the Mrs. had Lobster tail. As expected the food was amazing. Our server suggested dessert which was also amazing. I'm told you babe go to Bonefish Grill without getting Bang Bang Shrimp.., is also amazing. Great food, great service and peaceful atmosphere. Oh the Key Lime Cake should be shared it's rather large. read more

We come to Bonefish Grill quite frequently, my husband for the twin lobster tails and I for the chicken marsala and other dishes. We love the bang bang shrimp and the bread that goes with it. It's always delicious and our favorite server, Cam, is always very friendly, upbeat, and accommodating. We also love the atmosphere of the covered outside porch in warmer or rainy weather. When you live in Wisconsin it's always nice to be able to eat outside as often as possible. read more

Starting off the New Year Jan 6th The tables looked beautiful, lightning was dim but not too dim. The dining room can be a bit noisy when filled with conversation, but its beautiful. Our service was wonderful. I had: Kate's Wild North Atlantic Haddock Pinko dusted talked with feta cheese, artichoke hearts, and finished with a lemon basil butter sauce The food was tasty, asparagus was a bit over cooked. We'll probably would've been very tasty with broccolini. A little more color to the plate would've been nice. Perhaps a mild blackening option with the lemon. Perhaps some sort of light fruit garnish lingonberries, pomegranate... something. The food had good flavor. I got a daily special, it seems slightly like chain restaurant food. Lots of butter, lots of sauce, the fish was nearly overcooked but still ok. Considering options on the West side of madison this is a pretty good option. read more

I've been here a few times now, the 3rd being on valentines with my girlfriend and her cousin so I was usually okay with the food. But the most recent visit was extremely disappointing for me and my girlfriend. Most of the food was alright, but the grouper I ordered was extremely dry, but the worst part was the service. We went around 1:30pm on the weekday and it didn't seem very busy, only a couple other tables were filled up. But for some reason, our server named Sybil was extremely standoffish. I get it if people are having a bad day, that's fine. Our bill came out to $110 which was fine, I knew what to expect since I've been here before, and I was planning on tipping $30 because I thought our server could just be having a bad day. But my girlfriend could feel the off-putting vibes as well, especially after it seemed so difficult to ask for a refill of water once, by other staff since our server only came by to check on us one time after we received our food. But when our server was taking quite a while to come back so I could pay the bill, I went up to the hostess to see if we were supposed to pay up at the front because we were waiting for about 10-15 minutes to just pay. The hostess told us our server would come back to the table so we were about to sit back down, and Sybil was rushed over and just stood behind me, no pleasantries or a simple "hi, I can take the check from you now", just held out her hand in silence. I handed over my card and the check and she just silently walked away and had the same disgruntled look on her face the whole time. Nothing so much as a thank you when returning with the check and my card, and just leaves. I understand it's rough working in service industry, a lot of my friends work in bars and restaurants so I hear the unpleasant side a lot. But I have never felt more unwelcome in an establishment. Either way, we still tipped $20 because people need to make a living, but Sybil ensured we would never come back here again for the very okay and overpriced food and the extremely rude service. read more

Came here during a lunch hour and service was great, it was very quiet. Where I knock some stars back is that the chicken I got was a little over cooked and the shrimp was also over cooked. The person I came with had salmon and I could tell it was overcooked Bang bang shrimp and calamari were good, the dipping sauces were a little salty for my taste but great service read more

Our first visit to a Bonefish Grill was a bullseye. We were in town for a show and noticed that they had a location near our hotel. It was a nicer place inside than we expected, which was a nice surprise! Our server Jesus was wonderful, and our food and specialty cocktails (espresso martini and smoked old fashioned) were prepared with care and brought to us promptly. Wife had the Maker's Mark glazed salmon and I had the filet with lobster tail. Overall everything tasted great and was a great value! read more

The service was top notch but the food was not. I had the new pork tenderloin dish, which was tough and dry and we also had the Ahi tuna that was dry and gross. Very disappointing. Update- Sadly I did contact them as they requested below and got no response. Just so you know. read more

Delicious seafood! We tried the cod and it was delicious. It was before dinner so we missed the dinner crowd so it was nice to have quiet time and relax for our meal. Enjoyed the food here. read more

Awesome service.great menu choices & specials. Easy to make reservations on line. Wait staff professional, courteous, helpful polite. Note: I ordered my steak Medium, but it came well done. House Manager immediately replaced it (was larger than original one), plus an extra side of mashed potatoes, AND took $9.50 off the bill!) Alot if places could learn from this place! Definitely on the top of our list for Madison WI! read more

This is always a superior dining experience. We were wonderfully delighted when we tried them for lunch on Wednesday. They have a 3 course lunch special that is incredible. Jaw dropping incredible. House salad or Cesar, the Best Bang Bang shrimp tacos with fries and a gourmet brownie. My husband had the Shrimp cavatappi , the sauce was notable. read more

Bang bang shrimp appetizer and the Imperial dip were good. One person had the seared tuna and said they liked it. Another person had the salmon but their broccoli tasted like cheap frozen broccoli. I had the linguine Del Mar and it tasted like it was a lean cuisine. Lacked depth and substance. One person ordered a soda, to which was watered down and flat but the waiter replaced it. I had a mango sangria which was good and the other person at our table had a couple of beers. We have had Bonefish years ago but it is had become so commercialized, it is no longer an elegant or memorable place to eat. Disappointed and we won't be back. read more

Food can be improved. I get the ribeye once a year as there's a father's day special, but this year it wasn't a lower cost but a bone in ribeye with some bacon jam smothered across the top. Help me now. The au gratin is my preferred side. Around here they give smaller portions that would be great for anyone that's had gastrointestinal surgery. Tonight's ordeal was a Rollercoaster. Arrives at 20:00hours. Apparently they close at 21: 00hours. Sat at the bar to keep the phone charger while I watch City on the Hill. Ordered all day happy hour and it seemed to have shocked everyone but guess what BFG sent me the email, I didn't make it up. Missed brunch cleaning up. I tried the shrimp toast and will recommend. Had the mini sliders plain and the cure fries. I don't need the fries ever again with the toppings. I did order the seafood dip thinking I needed gooey and not much is provided. Really thin on the cheese but served in a hot cast iron. The bartender forgot me several times but especially with my 1 drink order of ginger lemonade. Yo, I understand when folks want to go home. I was a server. He apologized and made up for it all in the best way: a refill. Gratis. * he forgot my bread, silverware, drink napkin or even a coaster. But I forgave all as that's some decent lemonade. I'll make it my business to swing by for a $3.99/cup. It has good balance. Why 3 stars because there's room for improvement. The hostess, Sierra is great. The cooks/my visits don't seem to get other BFG'S make them look less than stellar. If you've dined here and only here then maybe this is it. Yet, when other locations are setting the standard then I'm rating them based on a franchise output. 5 stars for participating in dining rewards. read more

My girlfriend and I had a pretty disappointing Valentines Day dinner here. We waited in line for 15 minutes even though we had a reservation. No worries, it was a holiday and busy. We were very excited for the filet mignon and lobster tail dinner. We sat down and ordered our drinks and the lobster and crab dip. Halfway through the dip is when the whole experience went downhill, other than the long wait to start. While eating our crab and lobster dip we found an overfried calamari in our dip. We told the waitress and she was nice and apologetic. Somehow a whole appetizer of calamari made it to our table. We weren't charged for it because we didn't order it but it was laughable so we ate a couple bites of it. It was pretty good actually, same with the lobster dip. We went to order our dinner that we were very excited for and the waitress told us that THEY WERE OUT OF STEAK. ON VALENTINES DAY. The owner came and gave us a $25 gift card but that didn't really do the justice. What bothered me about it was the fact that they didn't tell us this at the door. They had this tactic where they would sit you down and see if you ordered it, and if you did then they would bring the giftcard out and own up to their mistake. Owning up to their mistake would be to take down the big steak and lobster sign at the front door down, and inform you of this before you sit at the table. This way you can decide if you want to stay and eat, or go elsewhere. Anyways we made the best of it and ordered desert. When the owner brought us the $25 gift card he said the meal would be discounted which it never was. Nothing was taken off the bill other than the appetizer that we didn't order in the first place. The food was honestly pretty good, but the way they handled the situation left a bad taste in my mouth. Spent $160 on a dinner that we didn't really want. Anyways, I used my gift card to add to a generous tip for the waitress and we carried on with our night. read more

Excellent food, but slow service. However received apology and bill credit for the slow service.

I was surprised when a company dinner was scheduled for here. For some reason, I always assumed this place was just kinda trashy, probably because of location and that it is a chain. But I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere, wait staff, and quality of food. I don't think anyone had anything bad to say. Even the pricing seemed reasonable. I'd go back. read more

Passing through Madison on our way to a weekend wedding...they did not disappoint! The atmosphere on the patio was great & the food was also wonderful. The only thing stopping me from giving 5 stars was our server, who didn't provide the best service...the hostess & other staff members were fairly attentive & overall everyone was super friendly. I would visit again. read more

Visiting Madison. Wanted seafood for my birthday. Made reservations. Seated promptly. Nice interior - white linen topped tables and booths. We felt socially distanced from other patrons - good. Nice selection of seafood and other. Ordered gnocchi with lobster and shrimp. It was just okay. Hubby ordered seared tuna... 4 stars. Son ordered filet mignon... 4 stars. Other son ordered poke bowl... 3.5 stars. Service was good. Served by a sweet lady who brought me a slice of birthday cake at the end of our meal. Overall I give Bonefish 3.5 stars. Rounded up to a 4 coz of the awesome cheesecake with blackberry? sauce. read more

Updated on 7/8/18 We were apprehensive about coming back but we did. Our salty experience last time put some fear into us ... Anyway, we returned with new wisdom so ordered bang bang shrimps to start with the coral reef punch. Both were good. We figure they can't go wrong with that. This time bread with pesto came out right away. It was a quiet evening at 6pm. For entrees, we had Lily's chicken and tilapia imperial and we ordered them with less salt. The side sautéed spinach was served without salt since I can add salt myself. That was the right choice. All good last evening. Our confidence in bonefish has been restored. Previous review .... First review but not my first time here. Previous times were decent. Today, not so. Service was fast today and also confusing. We noticed folks are greeted with fresh bread and pesto but we did not. It was an empty table when we sat down so that was very apparent. First dish out was the appetizer. Their new ceviche. We thought - why not? Mistake. Accordingly the description, it is based off the traditional Peruvian dish. It did not turn out that way. Shrimp, scallops, and fish looks more cooked than usual. The biggest disappointment was the used of carrot cubes. The hard texture just did not go with the rest of the dish. We didn't get to finish the appetizer because the bread came after a reminder that they did not bring any out and just as we got started on the bread, our entrees came too. So the service is very fast tonight. Way too fast for us as we ended up packing the appetizer to go because we wanted to eat our entrees while they are warm. The entrees today was very salty. My dining companion has a high tolerance for salt and she found the dish very salty. Sautéed spinach was salty. Soft shell crab was very salty. She ate it with the bread that came out late. My creole redfish was also salty. Server said next time, just say it is too salty and they will re-do it. Will remember to do that next time or simply ask for less salt. That would be my tip for all visitors. Best thing tonight? the Hawaiian martini. Sweet and refreshing. Highly recommend read more

Tasty, great drinks and variety! Nice atmosphere and a fine dining experience. Great fit dinner with friends or family!

I went for the fish and chips. The restaurant is lovely/upper class type of place. The service was immpecable. Prompt, almost too prompt! But kind and understood I needed to just relax and look at the menu a bit. I ordered a Fall special of the breaded cod and shrimp. But asked for the shrimp to be grilled. The breaded cod was excellent. I substituted mashed potatoes and they were totally not special. And the shrimp were the size of the smallest you can get at the grocery. Like one size up from the tiny shrimp ppl use in dips. Seasoned, but didn't seem grilled, and were off tasting. I asked for another piece of cod instead. Was offered a vegetable. Had Asparagus that was stringy, you could only eat about 1/3 of the way down from the top. I won't be returning. read more

For a chain restaurant, Bonefish Grill is amazing. First of all, we started with the bread. Freshly baked. The pesto sauce was a bit salty for me. We went with fish this time. I got Chilean sea bass, and my boyfriend got salmon. The fish were cooked perfectly well. I got sautéed spinach and coleslaw to go with my Chilean sea bass. I loved the spinach so much. It was cooked al dente. You could taste the freshness of all the vegetables. I also got a cup of corn and crab chowder. It was not as thick as like lobster bisque, but a bit creamy. For appetizer, we got fried calamari. So tender. It melted to your mouth, but it was a bit salty. Wish there was some type of sauces to go with it. Overall, love the place. It was so affordable and tasty. We definitely would come back read more

Burger was amazing, fish looked good, shrimp was amazingggg.Overall I would definitely recommend a try.

We decided too try somewhere new for our date night and landed on Bonefish. My husband really wanted to try their Bang Bang Shrimp, so he got the appetizer, and ordered some asparagus on the side. Now, go look at my photo of said asparagus and come back.... that mini order of asparagus was $7. That is laughable. And we joked about it the rest of the night. The shrimp was tasty and it at least had a built in salad underneath to eat with all the extra sauce. I ordered a Filet Mignon, which was not the quality at all that I am used to. It was just a regular tenderloin at $22. I had to ask if they had Sautéed mushrooms because they didn't have any on the menu? So strange. It was good, just not what you expect. The garlic mashed were good and the green beans had good flavor, but were super stringy. Our server was bubbly, but never came to check on us, even after someone else brought us our food. Worth a try, but not sure we will pick Bonefish again over our delicious regular spots. read more
