    Happy hour food and drinks- dang bang shrimp and oysters, Hawaiian martini , old fashioned
    Kim D.

    Beautiful restaurant and delicious food and drink choices for happy hour! The decor is reminiscent of an era that has passed but in the best way. Dark woods, fish tanks, metal sea turtles, water features, big tables and well dressed staff. Upon entering you will be greeted and seated by friendly hostesses. I have only enjoyed happy hour here. The oysters are delicious and the dang bang shrimp! I would not recommend the sushi, not a standout. The drinks are delicious and heavy pours! I would recommend the HH old fashioned and Hawaiian martini. It is more expensive than other establishments, but it's an experience and the service and quality of food are excellent ! Try it!

    Flawless dining experience while in Florida for business for a few days!! My friend insisted we come to his 'home restaurant' and the food did NOT disappoint! The service was flawless, pretty sure every single worker and chef came by our table to greet Andrew (XTREME Farming). The ambiance was upscale, sectioned enough for private convos, and great smell of food! My fresh local swordfish was beyond flawless

    Interestingly, at the time I am writing this review, the stars did not get into the "red zone". Meaning, I was expecting less and instead got more coming here. Service was outstanding across the board. This is true from the main waiter to one of the managers that kept checking in, to someone else who also checked in on our table. First timer? Here is a special something to cleanse your palate before the main meal. Oh, here is a $25 gift certificate for next time, too. The ambiance is great as well. From passing the open kitchen and grill to the overall feel of the dining areas. The house salad was bottomless (though one serving was good enough for me), and the special fish of the day, a Hawaiian triggerfish lightly blackened, was amazing. Yes, I'll be back not because of the gift certificates but because I really enjoyed the experience. Yes, it is expensive, but I feel like I got value for the dollars spent.

    I really enjoyed this restaurant. The food was great. My only complaint is that it took forever to get our food. Granted they were extremely busy. Overall everything was great. Our server was fantastic and the ambiance was fantastic as well. We will definitely be back.

    I was really impressed with my experience at this restaurant!! The service was amazing from the hosts, the bartender, and also our server too. We also appreciated that the manager came by to check on us as well. The ambiance is perfect for a family dinner or celebratory outing. They also have beautiful outdoor seating for days when it's not too hot or raining. I was so happy they brought out the food for the kids within just a few minutes of ordering. For the main entrees the fish was cooked to perfection! This place can get pricey because you have to order the sides separately. But they're shareable so that's always nice. They also had a great selection of wine which was very much appreciated. Overall, looking forward to going back soon.

    I had dinner last night at FishBones in Lake Mary, Florida for our annual company Christmas party. The food was exceptional. Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection. We had a private room and the service matched the same level as the food. I had the Surf n Turf special a Center Cut Filet with a Panko Crusted Lobster Tail, the steak cooked a perfect medium rare with a generous topping of truffle butter. Prior to the man course I had a Yellowtail Sashimi appetizer, it was super fresh and tasty. We ordered several shareable sides for the table, all of them amazing. Lobster Mac & Cheese, Cedar Plank Cauliflower, Mushrooms, all perfect pairings to this great meal. I had a Gary's Cherrywood Smoked Old Fashioned with my meal and an Amaro and Espresso along with a slice of Key Lime pie for dessert. It was an excellent meal with great company & family.

    This food is so incredible!! I always love treating myself a few times a year to the steak and this is the only place I have ever eaten seafood and enjoyed it! The service is amazing and the ambiance is fair but the meal is outstanding and worth the trip and food coma after the butter cake dessert! The watermelon celebration beverage is perfect!! I highly recommend it and it's worth every penny !!

    Wood grilled artichokes, blue chips, 1974 fried shrimp app, colossal blue crab martini, and Hawaiian cosmos. DELISH!

    Obsessed!!! Probably my favorite restaurant in the area! The food is always incredible and the service is really next level! Steve was our server this past visit and he was awesome as well as the manager Alexandra! The drinks are always incredible as well and the overall vibe is very cozy and laid back. HIGHLY recommend!

    We were excited to try Fishbones, and upon arrival, we were seated quickly, which made me think things were off to a good start. Our server, Dylan, did a great job and brought us house cheese bread to start. We began with two salads before moving on to our entrées--I ordered the center-cut filet mignon medium-well-- it was under cooked....while my husband had the black grouper with a side of broccoli. Unfortunately, his fish was overcooked, of course he left and didn't mention it. I paired my meal with a cosmopolitan martini, and my husband ordered a glass of wine, which never arrived. However, we were still charged for it, and I had to ask for the charge to be removed from our bill. I also noticed that a nearby table had an issue with their steak not being cooked to the requested doneness. As we were leaving, I mentioned this to the manager because she seemed frustrated with our server. I made sure to clarify that the issue wasn't with Dylan but with the kitchen staff, who should be ensuring that steaks are cooked as ordered--especially at a steakhouse where you're paying a premium for quality. While they did re-cook my steak, they didn't provide a new one; instead, they simply cooked the same piece further and added some truffle butter. ( I didn't even get a picture. I was so disappointed) Given the restaurant's reputation and pricing, I expected better consistency and attention to detail.

    Amazing food and great service! I started my meal with the Lady Dragon sushi roll. It was an interesting roll, delicious, and had a huge portion of crab on top. I opted for the house salad over Caesar. For my entree I chose the special, which was an 8oz filet mignon with shrimp scampi. My steak was cooked perfectly and the truffle butter added a ton of flavor. The cedar plank cauliflower was by far my favorite side dish. At this point I was already pretty full, but I saved some room for a crab claw. Overall a great experience, and will definitely try to save room for dessert next time.

    The service and servers were amazing, super attentive and kind. The ambiance was a little outdated with no music and felt just like any regular restaurant. For food we shared some appetizers, the spicy doh me tuna role and the calamari which were okay. I've had tuna rolls that were bigger and fresher. Calamari was good nothing out of this world. For a meal we shared the filet with a side of lobster Mac and cheese. I'd say the filet was great quality cooked well with tasty butter. Mac and cheese was not worth $30.00 it didn't much lobster to justify the price. Lastly, we drank espressos martinis which tasted like White Russians and way too chocolatey. I'm not sure what we would go back for, if we did maybe to share a few other appetizers but definitely not worth the price points.

    Delicious! Had dinner here with an ole high school buddy of mine and it is a wonderful place to dine! The food is absolutely delicious! From the delicious appetizers to the main course to the scrumptious desserts, the food is just delicious. We started with Fried Calamari and Bang Bang shrimp (please see pictures) Calamari was perfectly cooked, crunchy tasty exterior and tender juicy interior! The bang bang shrimp, perfectly seasoned in a delicious sauce! The entrees are enormous! Most of us ordered the Combo meal that comes with two main courses and sides. You would think they would cut back on the portions since you are getting two courses, but this restaurant is spectacular that you are served two huge servings of main courses. Most of the people did the Trigger fish and Fried shrimp combo. They loved it! Fish was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The fried shrimp were enormous and plentiful! I had the super thick perfectly juicy cooked pork chop and fried shrimp combo. The super thick and juicy pork chop is a meal by itself! Super tender, juicy and flavorful! (definitely not how my mom would cook them) The desserts are a wonderful finish to a gourmet night of dining. Strawberry cake and bread pudding were simply delicious! The service was spectacular! Always there when needed and would check in with us once in a while. Very personable servers! Please come here to eat and enjoy delicious food in a wonderful atmosphere with friendly people to assist your stay. Please see the pictures below and let your eyes feast!

I'm not sure I'd order again simply due to price and trying to eat less bread. It's a lot for two people. We also ordered Steak Frites and I had the center cut filet. Both were cooked to perfection. Waiter checked doneness at the table which I appreciated. The loaded mashed and Brussels sprouts as sides were also fantastic. They are more than enough for up to 4 guests.

I think the pricing fits the portion and quality of food and I will be back.
