It was only a few short years ago that Bonefish was one of my favorite restaurants, but unfortunately after my latest visit I probably won't be back for awhile. I went on a Tuesday evening before Christmas around 6pm, and the place was packed. People were standing at the front of the restaurant waiting to be seated, and unfortunately this just causes such a bottleneck in the restaurant because the people stand right in front of the doors, so others can't get in or out. However, we did make reservations and were seated within 3 minutes of arriving, so that was great. Our waitress, Hailey, seemed excellent at first but quickly went down hill. After ordering, Hailey brought the table our bread and quickly left without saying a word. We quickly realized we were without bread plates while all other tables had them, so since I could see Haley at the table three over I tried to wave her down to ask for plates. Once I finally caught her attention and she came over for me to ask her for plates, her reply was "yes, I know--I didn't have a hand for them so I'm bringing them out." Well, Haley, why didn't you say this when you brought the bread? It would have been very easy for you to say "I'm sorry I didn't have a hand to bring plates but will bring them to you in one moment." The restaurant was busy, so I gave her a pass on this. I've always been a fan of the bang-bang shrimp and bang-bang tacos. So of course I ordered my usual bang-bang tacos with a side of fries. When the entrée came out, I was severely disappointed; at first glance, the taco shells were huge but the fillings didn't quite fill the taco enough. Why give such a big shell if the filling is going to look inadequate? While the shrimp themselves were very good, it was maddening to feel that a $14 entrée came under-filled. However, the biggest complaint came about from the fries. One taste and I quickly recognized that someone had dumped a whole thing of salt on them. I like salty fries, but wow--these were beyond edible. I'm not one who usually sends food back, but I knew I could not eat these with the amount of salt on them, so I decided to ask Haley once she came back if it would be possible to get fries without salt. Well, it would have been nice if she came back--at least to check on us and make sure the food came out to our liking. However, she didn't. After 5 minutes of waiting, I finally asked the waitress at the table over if she would be able to get Haley for me. Once Haley returned, I informed her about the fries, and her reply was "Oh yes, I agree. They are really salty. I will bring you a new batch without salt." Thanks, Haley--that's great. But you agree? Did you try my fries before giving them to me? Or is this just such a common complaint at the restaurant? And if that is the case, then why do they continue to send out fries with that much salt?!?! As for other food at the table, my dad had the fish and chips, and although he said his fries were way too salty as well he really enjoyed the fish and said it was excellent! The final ordeal of the night came when we paid the bill. Our bill came out to twenty some dollars and 6 cents. No one at the table had any change, so we just gave a $50 bill. When the change came, well--there was no change. Our waitress, Haley, had rounded UP our bill to the next dollar and given our "change" all in bills. While losing 94 cents is not going to hurt my family nor I, it was the principle that this was done and it really angered me. At first I just thought I would make that 94 cents part of her tip, but it irked me so much that this had been done that I decided to ask Haley about it. Once again I had to track her down, and when she finally made her way to the table I asked her about the lack of change. Haley's response: "We don't do change here." Um, okay, Haley--so why did you round my bill up from six cents to the next dollar? Why wouldn't you round down if you don't do change? After questioning her about this, she then said "oh that was my mistake. Here is your dollar." Again, the 94 cents that wasn't given back wasn't the problem, but at this point her response had just irked me enough to ruin the experience. Again, Bonefish used to be one of my favorites, but based on the high price of the bang-bang shrimp tacos and the lack of filling--as well as the experience with the waitress--I won't be returning any time soon. read more

What can I say? I'm a BWB apparently because the recent Bonefish Grill TV advertisement featuring pumpkin ravioli stuck in my mind. So after a beautiful afternoon out at the Strategic Air and Space Museum in Ashland I made the executive decision to eat at Bonefish. First off the parking spaces, while not crowded, could be the tiniest parking spaces I have ever seen. This could be the one place in Omaha where you can park your Ford F150 in two spaces and not be considered a Jerk. Our VW R32 barely fit inside the lines. Which matched the bathrooms inside, barely wide enough to accommodate me and I'm not huge. I remember laughing afterwards telling dear SO that as I sat down the toilet paper holder was in my lap. perhaps I just picked the wrong stall. Other than that the ambiance was on point and the staff from entry to exit was extremely accommodating and friendly. One place I can't fault them is service. I LOVE LOVE LOVE when the staff in a restaurant can take a meal and appetizer order at the same time and wait till you are almost finished with the app to put in the entree order. Kudos on that and never making us feel rushed. As for the food...the swordfish and pumpkin ravioli were a hit and a miss. The swordfish being the hit with the feta cheese and green onions. Delicious. The pumpkin ravioli was underwhelming and kitchy. I had to scrape off the feta cheese on that portion of my meal because it was a glaring and not pleasant contrast to the pumpkin ravioli which was just meh to begin with. I'm not disappointed my curiosity was satisfied. We ordered the coconut shrimp as our app and Bonefish has never disappointed in this department. Coconut shrimp or the bang bang shrimp are always good, no matter what state I end up in I know this to be true. My SO ordered the fish and chips because he was in the mood for less healthy. I almost wish I had ordered the same. Their battered and fried fish was wonderful, light flaky, just fried enough to make it feel bad but not too bad for a Sunday Cheat meal. Even reheated at home later that night whatever fish/batter combo they used was still delightful. I took away one star because I heard the waiter at the table next to us use the same line on them as our waitress used on me when discussing the pumpkin ravioli. I know you guys have dishes to push but no way you both think its the best thing on the menu. Its not great, be honest. I have worked in food service, being honest with people goes a lot further than following a script. read more

Great time with friends - first time and it will not be the last. Great service, even non-alcoholic drinks. Trout, brussell sprouts and mashed potatoes - good choice! Don't forget to try the Bang-Bang and calamari - oh my! read more

I've gone to Bonefish a couple of times and each time I've gotten the bang bang shrimp.. so good! I've also had the bang bang shrimp tacos and the fish tacos. Both were pretty good. I've also tried some of my friends' dishes that I've forgotten about, so I can't say much about their other dishes. Oooh and the sourdough bread they give out before your meal is really good with the pesto/olive oil dipping sauce! read more

It's been awhile since I've eaten at a Bonefish. It's warm and cozy. This location is pretty busy any day of the week. The service is a solid 3.5 stars. read more

This is a chain but its staff ambience and food gives an elevated dining experience. It's perfect place to go single or as a couple and sit at the bar enjoy one of the best bar staff's in town. Love their seasonal martini specials and can't wait to get the bread which comes with an olive oil dipping yummy you will die for! Wonderful food is fresh and delivered fast by a friendly staff. read more

Freshest most well prepared seafood in Omaha. I highly recommend this place for business dinners or smaller more intimate events. The ambience is cozy and romantic with low lighting. You can dress casual but most people are in business casual type attire. They do have a lively happy hour in the bar area with great happy hour selections from apps to drink specials. I have been here 4+ times and each time the wait staff has been on point. I do suggest ordering the bang bang shrimp and any of the ethnic fusion seafood app items. Also, if they have a seasonal vegetable I would definitely order it! read more

I really loved the whole experience of this restaurant! I was impressed with the shrimp and the lobster. I got a side of fried rice which would have been great but I did not like the red peppers in it. Definitely will be back. read more

A friend took me here for my birthday. We had a twenty minute wait when we got there, which was unusual on a Tuesday night but I learned why. The restaurants ambiance was cool.The bartenders were quick and attentive and the drinks were good and strong. The bang bang shrimp were the BOMB! They even tasted good as left overs! Dinner was also good and the waitress was great. I would go back here over and over and over and over again. read more

Just like any other American classics where u get steaks or burgers. Fine ambience with wide selections of drinks etc. Bang Bang shrimp is very unique and delicious appetizer and we aways order them. read more

Headed here for drinks and an early dinner with a friend. -Pretty quiet in the restaurant when we arrived--4 PM---a lot of staff around, but did fill up by 6:30. -Great pomegranate martini's -Great location and restaurant set-up, staff looked professional, and had a nice menu. -Service--what a let down! The following happened: I had to call the bartender to come over (come on---there was 2 other people at the bar--it was 4:00), served us our first drinks quickly. The bartender appeared to not care---hardly said 2 words to us.I had to ask for a menu, water, and then a water refill. Our drinks sat empty for 10 minutes (again...this place was NOT busy at the time), so I flagged down again. Really? I should have to ask for these things? Hmm.. Bottom line: great martini's, my food was pretty good, but I had to ASK for a drink, menu, water..crazy to me..there seemed to be some bad communication going on with the staff as well... Not impressed with the service...won't be needing to go back. read more

Enjoyed Valentines dinner here. Frequent Bonefish about once a month...mainly HH. Specials were good...but overpriced.

Bang bang ... I enjoy my dining experience every time I dine here ! My favorite appetizer is Bang Bang Shrimp especially on Wednesday when it's only $5 . My favorite seafood dish is the halibut, yummy ! I always get consistent good food and service but just as important for me is the atmosphere which I enjoy read more

I have good news & bad news. The good news- We tried Bonefish for the first time a few months ago to celebrate my husbands birthday, and were so impressed!! The service was impeccable! Our waiter was able to answer all of our questions regarding the menu, and drink selections. Our food was amazing, and as someone who worked in the restaurant business as both a General Manager & Area supervisor, I was so happy to find a place that I could count on to meet and exceed all of my expectations and to share special occasions with loved ones. Our waiter even brought a birthday treat to celebrate my husbands birthday!! Now for the bad news- Yesterday, I decided to take my future daughter-in-law to Bonefish to celebrate her birthday. I made reservations online for 6:30, and filled in the spot where it asked if it was a special occasion as a birthday. We arrived promptly at 6:30 and were seated in a booth in the bar. It was very loud, and I was a bit disappointed to be sat there, as I did make reservations and was expecting to sit in the dining room. Our waitress came over to get our drink order promptly. We both asked for water with lemon. When she returned, she dropped off 2 water glasses and a plate with 2 lemons, but no water. We then ordered a glass of wine and bang bang shrimp. She asked to see my daughter-in-law's ID, and at that time I mentioned it was her birthday. She brought the wine, but still no water. (As water was all I ordered to drink, I was without anything to drink at this point). She then took our order, but didn't write anything down. I ordered the scallop & shrimp grill with scalloped potatoes & asparagus. She offered me a lemon butter sauce & I said I would try it if I could have it on the side. My daughter-in-law ordered stuffed tilapia with garlic mashed potatoes & asparagus. The bang bang shrimp came, & after she dropped it off, finally went back and got a carafe of water. (The bang bang shrimp was excellent) Then she dropped off our main course. My food was swimming in sauce/butter, and my potato choice was incorrect. It took a few minutes to get her attention to tell her that I had the wrong potato and that I had asked for the sauce on the side. She blamed the kitchen for the mistake and offered to re-do my plate, but I just told her to bring me a side of the correct potatoes and I would be fine. When she returned with the correct potatoes, she brought a small cup of the lemon-butter sauce, and told me the kitchen forgot to put it on my plate. She checked on us twice, the second time we asked for to go boxes, and I thought at that time, she would have asked about the birthday treat. She did not. She dropped off the to-go boxes and said she would get our check. It took some time to get our check, but I was still assuming it was because she was getting the birthday dessert or a menu for my daughter-in-law to choose one. She finally came with the check and thanked us for coming. Never got a birthday treat!! Now here is my complaint, first of all, when I made the reservation, why does it ask about a specific special occasion, if it isn't going to be recognized? Even after I again told the waitress it was my daughter-in-law's birthday, still NOTHING! Then, if you are not going to write things down, that's fine, but when mistakes are made, don't throw the kitchen under the bus. The waitress was the last person to see our food before she brought it to me. It was HER responsibility to check it for accuracy before bringing it to our table. I understand everyone has an off day, but she really dropped the ball through our whole dining experience! I've had better service at Applebee's!! The most disturbing part of our service was when she tried to blame the kitchen for her mistakes!! Now, I'm just sad that I don't have that go to place, that I know, consistently, will provide great food and great service every time. Maybe this visit was a fluke, or was it the last time when everything was perfect and I was blown away??? I just don't know. read more

I liked everything about my experience here. I'd go back any time. Inside the decor is very attractive, it's low lit and intimate. Service was phenominal, it really felt like they cared that your experience was perfect. The specials were explained, she made recommendations. I never felt rushed. The food was well above average. I had the durado thermindor with lobster. So delicious. Also tried their popular bang bang shrimp. It was really good too. (fried shrimp covered in that spicy mayo sauce that sushi places use on volcano roll). I payed for that one the next day, probably a little too spicy for me. However that night it was great. read more

I made a reservation early in the week for a Saturday night to celebrate a late Valentines Day dinner. We showed up at the restaurant 5 minutes early and checked in. We were told they were running late. We stood and waited to be paged for our table. While we stood there another couple came and checked in for their reservation - at the same time as ours. They were seated within 5 minutes and BEFORE US! When I questioned the hostess the answer I got was "That's the way the system schedules them". I can't understand why I had to wait over 20 minutes when I took the time to plan and make a reservation. Also can't understand how someone else can come in after us with the same reservation time and same number in party and get a table before us! People were willing to wait up to 1.5 hours to get a table (allegedly). Once we got a table the waiter took good care of us and the food was good. The Bang Bang shrimp were awesome and the cod imperial and tuna were super. The food was great but the hassle and wait to get seated is unacceptable. Bonefish Grill needs to consider reducing the number of reservations per time slot that it gives or take more effort to ensure tables are available and ready for customers who have made a reservation. read more

First time we've been to bonefish was a delightful experience. We visited on a Sunday and there was a 25 minute wait at 5:45 so we sat at the bar and ordered a happy hour marg and britany and Bethany recommended the slider appetizer and we barely got our margaritas and our table was ready but we chose to stay and eat at the bar because britany and Bethany were so great. So they had great recommendations for entrees. Service was great. Food was awesome. Price was good. And Dave came out a couple times to talked to us. He might have been the chef or manager but he brought out the amazing dessert moultan chocolate cake with strawberries. That britany and Bethany bought us. We chose bonefish bc we had a gift card but we forgot it at home but we will gladly be back soon even though it's 1/2 hour to 45 minute drive to get there! Over the top experience! read more

Always bring my out of town family to enjoy a meal here. Every time I ask about dairy free the staff is always making sure it comes out that way. I can not eat the bang bang or crab cakes these days but I always enjoy a nice steak and veggies. And anyone who can not have dairy but can still eat bread you can have it with the oil but the green stuff in it has parm. cheese in it. read more

This is my third time at a Bonefish Grill and my first review. The first two times were just OK but this time I think the food was delicious. We tried the bang bang shrimp which was very tasty and a large portion great for sharing. I ordered the spicy ahi tuna bowl that was very good as well. It had about half an avocado and a delicious sauce to dip the pieces of tuna in. The price was not bad either. The other people at our table also enjoyed their food. John had a special that was swordfish with pumpkin ravioli. He thought it was delicious. Our waiter was very friendly and was always around to make sure our glasses were full. I was very surprised about how full it was for a weekday. Overall I had a good experience. If you're looking for a place to have fish in Omaha Nebraska I'd recommend this place. read more

Located in Regency, went to a Thursday lunch meeting, restaurant was maybe 1/4 to 1/2 full. Not a lot of selections for lunch. Had the super-grain bowl of shrimp, brown rice, quinoa, sweet potatoes, feta, citrus aioli, cranberries. Except for the potatoes being hard, it was good. Servers were not the friendliest, took a long time for them to bring the two iced teas for a table of 5, and no one offered to refill the entire time we were there. read more

Even though Bonefish is a chain restaurant, this is one of our go-to date night spots. Nice atmosphere, good drinks, and the bang bang shrimp is amazing! We get an order every visit. read more

This is one of my favorite places. The crab cakes are amazing. A little salty and greasy but still much better than anything I've made. I just like my food a little lighter. Great baked fish. Firecracker shrimp is hard to stop eating. Nothing I ate was healthy but well worth the 2 lbs I gained! read more

The Chilean Sea Bass and Tilapia Imperial were both delectable!!!! We've been to Bonefish Grills in other states but this particular restaurant was certainly a cut above the rest. Although Bonefish Grill is not as exquisite as the suggested week in advance reservation would lead you to believe, we had a very good dining experience and will be back. read more

me and my officemates went here the other day to have some lunch. I ordered their BFG fish sandwich. and it was really good. their service was also really good. two thumbs from me! read more

This place rocks! Good seafood for Omaha. The rock shrimp are great and only $5 on Fridays. I have had the mahi mahi and the salmon. Both were good. The place gets really busy around dinner time, so make a reservation. Not too expensive either. The fish was about 15-20 per plate. read more

Amazing food... I was very surprised... in a place were flavorful food is rare such as Omaha... this place knocks it out of the park... it is a very lively and busy environment... and service didn't wow me, but it wasn't horrible either... over all the food was worth the money and made up for the weak areas in the service... great place to eat... I will ne back next time I'm in omaha... read more

My wife were staying at the Regency Marriott and stopped into Bone Fish (which is right across the street) on Sunday night at 5:00. The hostess sat us immediately as they were not busy. We sat for over ten minutes with no one coming to check on us. No water, no "we will be right with you," nothing. A male server walked by us twice to take an order from another table, but never acknowledged us. We got up and left. I cannot understand why it is so difficult to get good service at restaurants when it's their only job. We are from Texas and have always had great service at our local Bone Fish. In fact, it's one of our favorite places to eat. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the Omaha Regency Bone Fish. We went across the interstate and ate at The Cheesecake Factory. We had wonderful service there. read more

As a lifelong New Englander, I usually don't order seafood in a restaurant that's in a land-locked state (no significant source of fresh fish), but Bonefish does a really good job, wherever they get their fish from. The food is a little pricey, but it hits the mark. Brought 2 business colleagues there for dinner and everyone loved it. Nice place; I'll go back again. read more

Wow. You don't like this place. You have a problem. The service. The place. The food. Amazing. Our waitress Reagan was amazing as well.

A chain that remains consistent across locations. I'm an East Coaster and don't know how the fish was so fresh and prepared so nicely here in the Midwest. Started with the seared ahi appetizer and the bacon wrapped scallops. Tip to Bonefish: don't overdress the ahi with all the sauces; it takes away from the fish. For dinner, I had the sea bass. He had the cobia oscar. Both were home runs. I'm a crème brûlée snob- en pointe as usually- yummy custard with a crisp sugar crust. Busy night, but the service and food temperatures were perfect. Nice separate GF menu, though none of the specials were available GF read more

Very disappointed in service and wait staff. Our waiter was very "snarky" with an attitude. Our entrees arrived 2 minutes after our salads. We usually enjoy going to Bonefish to celebrate special events but our next special event will be spent elsewhere! We called back to the restaurant after leaving and spoke to a manager. We explained our issues and were told a regional manager would contact us but never did. We are not looking for any type of free meal, etc. Not the top notch restaurant it used to be. David U. read more

We always have a great meal and great service when we go to Bonefish. I know. I know. Another chain restaurant you say. But Bonefish always does a really good job and they have seasonal vegetables and change up their specials so the menu is different every time you come. We have never been disappointed here. I suggest you go early though as it gets very busy and as an added bonus take advantage of happy hour which runs from 4:00-6:30p every day. They have their house glasses of wine for $3.50 a glass! I took advantage of that and enjoyed two glasses of the cab. It is not an award winner of course, but at $3.50 a glass I am not going to complain. We always have to get the Bang Bang Shrimp for an appetizer. It is so good. There are other restaurants in town that have tried to replicate this dish and have not come close. This is the best and a must try. You also get warm bread with olive oil and pesto for dipping at no charge. For dinner I got the 6 oz sirloin cooked to medium rare (which was cooked to perfection and they asked me to check before they left the table - love that), crab cake, seasonal vegetable (zucchini with roasted red pepper covered in Parmesan cheese), and a side of my choosing potatoes au gratin. The crab cake was so good. It came with this spicy sauce for dipping. The potatoes were creamy and cheesy. I was so full!! This was such a great deal for $19.50! My dining partner got one of the specials. The Misoyaki Chilean Sea Bass grilled over oak and then topped with Misoyaki marinade, pickled ginger relish, on a bed of sautéed spinach, mushrooms, and jasmine rice. He said it was flavorful and delicious. read more

My husband and I came here to celebrate our anniversary with a nice dinner. It was a Sunday night at 8pm and I was suprised how empty the restaurant was. The cocktails were delicious! We ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp for an appetizer. You must get this! So delicious! I had the lobster tail and it was quite good, nice and sweet. It was a very pricey dinner but we were celebrating a special occasion so I was okay with it. I can't wait until we can come back again! read more

I love Bone Fish! Bang Bang Shrimp is da' bomb! I've only had one negative experience where we had reservations and it still took us quite a long time to get seated but it was forgiven. It does get too crowded in the bar area when you're waiting to be seated, only complaint. read more

Have enjoyed our many visits to Bonefish. The specials are always interesting and full of flavor. The Bang Bang shrimp is awsome. Very nice wait staff who are very knowledgable and ready to answer any questions. A very nice place for a intimate date night, nice lighting and wonderful drinks. read more

This is absolutely the worst service in Omaha. Second and last time ever Sat evening 1-10-2020. Reservation for 6:30...Once again told they were running late. 7 other groups in the same dilemma. The hostess at the front..not she she actually speaks and the hostess were joking as people complained. Stating this is nothing..you should make reservations on Holidays. It is usually over an hour. We were seated at 7:12. Water 7:30. Was good thing we told the waiter to bring us appetizers...because he was not smart enough to ask. We left the restaurant at 8:50. I had asked to speak to manager as we were seated. Was told rudely by the hostess who does not speak...they do not talk to guests. No matter what. Place is a joke. Please Omaha. Go elsewhere. Oh and by the way. food was average at best. Gary J Chmelka garychmelka@yahoo.com 402-432-8377 read more

The fish and the sides were amazing! I had salmon, husband had sea bass and, kids had mac and cheese and the other had the bang bang tacos. We absolutely loved it! It's hard to find a good seafood place to eat at in the midwest, so we were very pleased! read more

This was a fantastic meal! attentive friendly servers and staff. the Regency Bonefish I've wanted to go to for awhile and I am glad It hit the top of my " to try" list. the bread and pesto dip on the table was scrumptious, I loved the fact they gave each table chilled bottles of water. the raspberry ice tea was perfect on the menu they said sweet but with raspberry sweet is better. I ordered fish tacos and the side salad and the strawberry shortcake special dessert.. all was delicious freshly made perfectly done balance of flavors and seriously the best fish tacos like EVER! okay maybe not ever. no.. they were up there in the like ever- and bumped off my first fish taco experience in Encino at the place that started fish tacos.. mostly because Bonefish is now MUCH closer and I can get the tacos. the restaurant was gorgeous and I just call myself brilliant for thinking fish tacos sounded fantastic for tonight's dinner..and that strawberry shortcake! bread on the table was delish with a nice pesto dip and I loved their side salad. I am not a fish lover- but I think a few more trips to Bonefish will take care of that problem. they do have a varied menu for you non fish people. for you fish people.. GO - go now.. don't stop to look for another place.. just GO. As for Bonefish- kudos to the bartenders servers managers and chefs! I loved my meal! Thank you! read more

Did a great job on a group of six of us. Shared apps and entrees and all were pleasing. Seafood choices more than adequate and this chain prides itself on consistency regardless of location. Great service and very accommodating to some of our late arrivals. read more

I love the Bang Bang Shrimp from Bonefish but this visit I didn't end up ordering it because I wasn't hungry enough to order an appetizer. Went with family and the restaurant was very welcoming and accomodating to our needs (Grandma in a wheelchair so needed a tabletop not a booth). I ordered the Tilapia Imperial which is white tilapia fish stuffed with crab and scallops. It was pretty good....maybe just a tad greasy from the butter sauce on it but tasty. You get a choice of two sides. I got steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes. Get the Bonefish House salad you won't regret it. Plenty of fresh ingredients such as pine nuts. Overall I was impressed with Bonefish and will visit again soon. read more
