We've eaten here several times when in Williamsburg and haven't been disappointed. Delicious espresso martini's and we enjoyed shrimp & scallops read more

Our server, Meredith, was excellent tonight for our dinner, though I do agree that the front check in man who was soft spoken and took such a long time to find our reservation though we told him our name twice. Then he asked twice more what name the reservation was under. Finally as he walked us to our booth, he asked how many were in our party. My eyes popped open as the two of us followed him. My husband enjoyed Pan Asian Butter fish with a delicious generous portion of spinach. Meanwhile I did NOT enjoy my overcooked Asparagus and defo felt that the dinner special of Unicorn was not for me. The bread was delicious served warm with an herbal seasoned olive oil that was also generous. Basically we informed Meredith about my feelings when she inquired. She said she was sorry. The place was full and noisy as there was a wine dinner inside. read more

Dinner tonight started a little off - showed up on time for reservations made several weeks before. Young man was so soft spoken that it seemed like he didn't care about dealing with us. After stating our name, reservation time and size of party multiple times, he woke up and asked if we were here for the event? (Turns out they were having a wine dinner). We reiterated that no, we had reservations for the two of us for dinner. He seemed confused and said he thought we wanted to join the party. Another young lady pointed out something on their system and we were placed at a table right next to the large party - not ideal, but what can you do? Our waitress, Merideth, was excellent and explained the menu well, highlighting the various specials and answered all our questions. The complimentary bread with accompanying herbed oil was fresh and delightful. My Pan-Asian Butterfish was fantastic, and the spinach was cooked beautifully (so easy to overcook!). Wife had the special, Unicorn fish, as we had never had this before. Good and well cooked. But not our favorite. Her asparagus, however, was steamed, bland and extremely overcooked. I definitely won! Nice enough meal, and decent enough options, but a little pricy for what you receive. read more

We have eaten at other Bonefish grills many times. The restaurant ambiance is the same as always and we were seated quickly at 5 but things did start looking chaotic by 6. Our waiter was new and frazzled which was okay and expected with a new waiter. The bread and risotto and shrimp and fish were good but vegetables were a disappointment. The "brussels sprout salad" may have had one shredded brussels sprout on a big bed of lettuce with too much dressing and the broccoli that came with dinner was oddly a mixture if huge florets with most being almost raw, but some cooked. I wouldnt go back to this location. read more

I honestly don't know how to rate this place. The food was good...well, the main course was good. I have never had any complaints about their fish. What is lacking is attention to detail here. When we walked in, they had an incredibly shy young person who had a very thick accent, seemingly incredibly confused & not knowing how to handle people that came to the hostess desk. Thankfully, a real hostess showed up & was able to direct the Shykid to which tables to seat us. When he showed us to our table, he was almost whispering about our server, you couldn't hear a thing. Our server didn't even let us pick up a menu before she popped at our table. We asked for water first thinking it would give us a moment. Nope. She was right back with those waters! We gave our drinks orders and then asked for a few minutes to view the menu. She was super sweet and answered all of our questions before leaving us to decide. We were able to order after a bit and she left us to devour the bread (we were very hungry). After a bit, our first course came out. My mother got the lobster bisque and seemed happy with it. I got a simple side Caesar salad and was horrified by the rotten lettuce that was used. As I didn't want to get e.coli, I called the server over & asked that it be taken from the bill as it was unfit for anything to eat. She totally agreed and took it away. After a bit of sitting & having a conversation, the manager came over to ask us if we were having a good time. He asked us what we ordered (why???) and to let him know if we weren't happy. We reminded him that they already failed with a simple salad but we'd let him know. It was a little odd frankly. I don't mind when the manager walks around but to go up to every table & ask what people ordered? Stalk much? Eventually our fish showed up. I ordered the grilled mahi with jasmine rice & spinach, my mother got the better dish with grilled halibut potatoes and broccoli. The broccoli was gross. Just gross. The halibut on the other hand was grilled to perfection and was so tasty. Like, seriously. I should have gotten it. Not that the mahi was bad, it was delish, seriously delish. That halibut though....oh bliss! While we were eating and chatting, we noticed some of the patrons coming in. This is where I have to question the restaurant practices. Seriously. There was a woman that came in wearing gym spandex, like she just came from the gym. The thing is, like the typical American now, she should not be wearing spandex outside of the gym if you catch me. I'm a big girl myself and you wouldn't catch me dead wearing spandex outside the privacy of my home (I do love leggings). There were men in sweatshirts or hoodies with trucker hats over greasy hair. Loud children screaming & crying with their parents ignoring them. It was chaos! Here's the thing, Bonefish Grill is a bit more upscale than a local Appleby's is, people should really care more about dress codes when you go out on a Saturday night. Maybe it's just me, but don't you kind of miss when a place had a dress code and people cared enough to dress before dining out? So, in summary, if you don't mind rancid lettuce, a nosy manager, screaming children and other bits of chaos, the fish is really good. read more

Service during late lunch was fantastic. Waiter engaged, but not too present. Just right Food was delicious as always. We make this a priority stop frequently Price for lunch specials was reasonable. Lovely setting and friendly staff read more

The staff here is very friendly and the food was great! We had to change our reservation time and they were responsive and updated it easily for us. Our waitress was very friendly and quick. She made sure we didn't need anything. We ordered a slice of key lime cake to take home, and it was brought out with the check- perfect timing. The wild flower martini was fresh and sweet tasting. The sparkling wine in it was poured at the table, which gave it a little show. The blackened shrimp with mexican street corn is my new favorite entree, which is unfortunate because it is a seasonal dish for summer. The corn was so creamy and there was just a hint of spice. It even still tasted good reheated the next day! read more

When my guest and I arrived at Bonefish for 5:30 p.m. reservations, made several weeks ahead of time, we were told there would be about a 20-minute wait. We chose to sit in the bar rather than wait, not a desirable location due to the nearness of the door and coolness but our choice. A waiter finally came and left bread and olive oil on the table with no utensils nor napkin nor plates. Finally he returned to take drink orders. But, that ended up being about a 40-minute wait. The food ultimately arrived and was good enough. The service received throughout the ordeal was almost non-existing and what was offered was rudeness. Interestingly, what seemed to be the manager wandered back and forth in the main dining room checking on people but didn't bother to check in on the bar. This was a significant Bonefish disappointment. I'll think twice before heading back. read more

Bang bang shrimps appetizer was delicious with an Asian fusion over the deep fried shrimps. My Cod Imperial was awesome with jasmine rice and asparagus. The waitress, Vera was very friendly with her recommended items. The ambiance was also excellent with an adjoining sports bar. The restaurant could seat more than 40 or more. read more

Went in late but was still given great service, Nooama was wonderful and attentive. Everything was delicious, cocktails and food.

Cold food. Service was mediocre. Atmosphere good. Food was not good. Came out cold and was not very presentable.

Turned away at the door tonight because we didn't have a reservation. It was Sunday night at 6:30, party of 6, early June, and the restaurant was about 30% full. We didn't get the option to wait. Posting so you don't make the same mistake- just don't go. We found a great steak restaurant in the New Town area that sat us right away. read more

One of our go to places for some good food at a reasonable price. With the added benefit of their rewards program, it is easy to both earn points and always have a reward to use. The food is good, the drinks are good, and the atmosphere is good. The servers are knowledgeable and friendly. It's one of those places that is always on our possible destinations for dinner when we decide to go out to eat. read more

Though the place was packed tonight the service was excellent The coconut shrimp was great... the mussels were good .. it was the sauce that was way too sweet. The corn crab chowder was only fair cause the broth was too thin My husband had the salmon which he thoroughly enjoyed Prices are good. So we will be back though I would not order the chowder As we said. Excellent service read more

The food was great and the service was impressive. Tara Kelly was our waitress and she took such good care of us that it felt as if we were special guests rather than just customers! She was the best! read more

Bang bang shrimp was great. Ordered tuna tartar and dynamite salmon special. And plenty of drinks. Food Took a LONG time. We weren't complaining-we were just enjoying ourselves. Here for family weekend so enjoying family time. The Server and then the manager came out to apologize (we hadn't even asked or complained!!!) and said something must have happened and they would get in our order. Ok. We're not complainers. Ordered more drinks. As the manager was apologizing, the dishes came out. Manager left. We don't complain... But they were TERRIBLE. Had clearly been sitting under heat lamps and were over cooked. Tuna tartar was waaaaaay over cooked as was the salmon. They were awful. We ate our meal and left. Tipped the waitress fully cause she's a W&M student and needs it. I don't know whose fault it was. But the manager should have paid attention and not let us pay for the shitty food. read more

Food was good... nice atmosphere... service was good... the manager was outstanding he came around to every table to make sure everything was ok...I love that because a lot of places you have no clue who the manager is... I would definitely go back read more

Go.... It's fantastic.... We came in after a 12 hour ride from NY and we were a bit cranky and tired....we sat at the bar and Jacari the bartenders gave us water and menus... my wife got the tuna Poke bowl.... Amazing ... wasn't sure do I asked Jacari and he make a suggestion of the fontina pork chop... omg... hit the spot especially with an ice cold beer.... Finally we split the GLUTEN free brownie.... I've never had... it like a brownie / pudding with raspberry sauce .... Jacari made all the suggestion and everything was perfect... what a pleasant experience...ask for Jacari .... Tell him Dan said hi read more

Bonefish Grill - Gluten free brownie - Seafood Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

Major disappointment in this restaurant tonight. The restaurant was virtually empty at 7:00 PM and even though we had reservations, we sat at our table for a good 15 to 20 minutes before anyone even approach our table to take our order. Started with the corn and crab chowder which wasn't anything to rave about and immediately followed by our entree even before we could get into our chowder. Service really left something to be desired and as a local don't think we will be returning any time soon read more

It was really nice to know there is a Bonefish in Williamsburg, hidden and tucked away in Newtown. As always the food was really good and the price was good. The service was super nice but our waitress did forget to het my father (elderly) his steak knife. But that was minor. I would come back. read more

Everything!!!! service and food was absolutely the worst Honestly couldn't believe what I was served read more

My family and I have been to Bone Fish grill many times in another state. However, I want to share my experience from yesterday at the Williamsburg Location. So we booked our reservation via online for valentines day. We were running behind and called and the host was gracious enough to push the time back for us. We arrived the ambiance is very nice, romantic, dimmed lit with candles. We were sitting in a highly trafficked area (of servers and bartenders) we sat there for ten mins and no one came to the table so my spouse had to speak to the host. Who apologize, walked over to the bar and told the bartenders about our table. The bartender (brown skin, thicker woman) looked right over at us as the host was pointing and her demeanor instantly got unprofessional. We had to ask for the bread that is normally provided at the beginning of the meals. She begin to shake her head no. We then watched the host walk away from the bar and we asked to speak to a manager. The manager came over right away and got our drinks started, then sent another bartender to us. She was some what good she fixed my drink to make it goowhen I thought it was extremely strong, and she seemed nice. The only thing is she didn't check on our table, I had to stare her down to get her attention. The food came out, and was very fresh and tasty per usual. If it haven't been for the food I would have probably given it a 2 star. read more

The service suck!!! We had reservation at 7:30pm and waited for 45 min and still was waiting to be seated any they had a lot of table to open to sit 8 guest and 4 guest. what is the purpose of making a reservation...and Do not honor the reservation and we are regular customers there...my point is I will not be going there in the near future cause the customer service is not up to par read more

Visited yesterday, we had gift cards and decided to use them. We were seated promptly without reservations, our server arrived soon after and got the drink order, then we decided on dinner. Hubby had the fish and chips, it was a lot of breading, not much fish, but he enjoyed it. I ordered the Trout, Oscar, it was a filleted trout with a lemon sauce, asparagus and crab on top. It was overdone when the server brought it out, sent it back for a redo and the second time it was perfect, tender, moist, and tasty. The french fries were hot and crisp on both meals. The spinach side was garlicky, it was just ok. Our server could not have been nicer, even though they were busy. They seemed to be short handed, yet attentive as much as they could be. read more

Marissa was an excellent server. Very friendly and helpful!! Food was very tasty as always. The entire staff seemed to all jump in to assist each other read more

Ordered the fish and chips. The fries were okay.. but not the reason I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was a huge disappointment. Three tender like strips of deep fried batter with very little fish and a lot of grease. I ended up peeling away the deep fried batter in my attempt to find the fish. A huge disappointment. read more

excellent food and atmosphere. Our server. Marissa was outstanding, polite, happy and just overall what customer service should be at it's best, BTW she suggested great deserts that we loved. definitely coming back next time we are in this area. read more

Dinner tonight was delicious!! The service was impeccable! Harris James is a phenomenal server! We'll be back again soon!

Today we dined at Bonefish Grill in Williamsburg VA. The meals for myself and three guests were outstanding, as well as the service by Marissa. The cedar salmon was delicious and the best I ever had. Their lime and cheesecakes were superbly out of this world. Marissa, our server, went out of her way to assist and guide us to what turned out to be great dishes. Thanks to her and staff for helping us to enjoy a great evening at dinner with friends. read more

We just went into Bonefish for a late lunch. It was 2:00 and there was only one other table occupied in the entire restaurant. The host seated us right behind this occupied table. Their waitress came and checked on them/brought them refill drinks/doled out leftover containers four times in the 12-15 minutes we were there. She never so much as glanced at us. We could see the bartender and another server chatting behind the bar. We waited. And waited. And waited. No one ever acknowledged us, much less came to get our drink/food order. Finally, we gave up and left. We won't be back. read more

The Service was fantastic. Coryne our server was awesome!! Made us feel very welcome , food was excellent as always, loved the bang bang shr. read more

I have always enjoyed some Bang-Bang Shrimp. I visited with my son and we had a great time. Renee was our server and she was amazing!! So warm and friendly. She made our experience delightful. I do not think I have ever had any issues or concerns at this location but now when I arrive I will ask for Renee's section. Oh, by the way, our food was perfect as well. We ordered several shareables and the Bang-Bang Shrimp, Mussels and Tuna roll were delicious. I thought we were done and then Renee started describing the desserts and when she told us about the Molten-lava Carrot Cake we had to try that too. OMG it was amazing!!!! I am a huge carrot cake fan and that was in my top 5 of all time!!! Thanks again, Renee you rock!!! read more

We were immediately greeted once we stepped foot in the restaurant. The front house staff were pleasant and bubbly. Their great energy had me all set for a great dining experience. My first impression of the restaurant was a great one based on their demeanor so great job ladies. So it's Sunday afternoon (09.17.17) and my babe and I decided to dine here. Everything I tasted was grrrrreat! My babe wanted a little more so what I didn't finish he took over with open arms. We interacted with one of the servers, Nikki. She was super informative and explained pretty much all the dishes we were served. She also went into more detail about specials and features the restaurant has during the week and at certain times. She was super engaging and seemed eager to let us know more about the restaurant. She also mentioned the Dine Rewards Program that Bonefish is apart of...she was on point! We also met the Manager on duty, Chris. He was great and definitely peeked in on us from time to time to ensure all was going well. The ambiance is beautiful inside. You can choose to dine on the bar side which includes bar seating and seating in high tops around the bar. There are several TV's on this side as well. There's an other side for more intimate dining. On the day we dined, we decided to dine on the bar seating side because of the TV's didn't want to miss any football game action. So let's eat...on this visit we had the following: Original and Peach Mimosas Crispy cod sliders and Wagyu beef sliders Kim Crawford Chardonnay Calamari and Crispy Au Gratin Bites Fried Oysters Big Bang Shrimp topped Eggs Benedict with a side of toast and syrup (Brunch meal only) Mahi Mahi and Tilapia topped Oscar Style (crab meat and asparagus) Pumpkin Creme Brûlée Espresso Martini I did not try these items: calamari, fried oysters or the big bang shrimp eggs Benedict but my babe did and he loved everything! Some of my favorites: both mimosas, wagyu beef sliders, and the mahi mahi. Now my surprising favorites - Pumpkin Creme Brûlée and the Espresso Martini. OMG - just thinking about these two makes we want to return to the restaurant sooner than later. I don't usually have room for dessert, but some how I finished all of my Pumpkin Creme Brûlée... like it went down so smooth I had almost forgot about my belly being full just a few minutes ago. That's a great addition and Chris (Manager) advised it's not hard to make at all, but something so simple left a lasting impression on me...still in amazement. Thanks for a great Sunday Funday Brunch! We shall return soon. enjoy life and have fun :) read more

The food and service was great for large parties. The sea bass with Brussel sprouts were excellent.

This must be the worst location of a Bonefish we've ever visited. As soon as we entered, the place was in shambles, even the outside of the restaurant was dirty. Looking around the inside of the restaurant, most tables were dirty, and a couple walked past us, leaving their seats at the bar, saying they'd never been served. Our waitress was extremely nice, but clearly overworked. She and others in the restaurant openly complained about the manager, who didn't seem to be doing much of anything herself. The dirty tables from when we arrived were still dirty when we left. The food was just ok, we've definitely had better at other locations. I would avoid this place in the future. read more

Always a great experience here! Marissa was our server and did a phenomenal job! Friendly and prompt service!
