This is one of the few upscale locally owned places left and it's amazing. The fried shrimp is unmatched. The seafood always fresh. And I challenge you to find a better house salad out there. The combination of what is on that salad with the Spanish vinaigrette is unmatched in taste. The steaks are oak grilled on an open flame and seasoned perfectly. The service is always professional and stellar. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. read more

I visited Fishbones in Heathrow/Lake Mary to celebrate my mom's birthday on April 29th and wanted to take a minute to share my experience and praise! We were promptly greeted with "smiling eyes" and seated, with no wait, which was nice. Our server was absolutely marvelous! I cannot remember her name-it was a longer name, but she had a shorter nickname she used to introduce herself. Her demeanor was pleasant, she was attentive and had a great attitude-even though it was very busy and she had multiple tables, she did not lose her person ability with us, due to her business, which is a very difficult juggle (I've been in her shoes before as a server). I'd like to also praise the chef and everyone "behind the scenes" for making this experience such a delight. Food was on-point and we LOVED the Chef's Selection menu! So nice to be able to get my favorite trigger fish AND jumbo fried shrimp. Everything tasted great and was totally worth the price! Zero complaints for us. Thank you for your consistency to fine dining, service and quality ingredients! We will return again soon. read more

We are still new to Lake Mary, but I would personally say that FishBones has the best food, drinks and service in Lake Mary!!! It is always a delightful experience and worth the money... I cannot even offer a favorite, because everything has been amazing!!! Great job read more

From the minute we walk in Fishnones the experience was enjoyable. The food was so delicious and the staff very knowledgeable and friendly. From beginning to end I didn't feel rushed. I highly recommend for a nice dining night out. read more

I'm going to try to keep it short and to the point because I really can't think right now since I'm having a sodium overdose from this food. The food was consistently terrible.... The premium $55 steak we ordered was "aged" 4 weeks and was supposed to be amazing. It was clearly purchased off Amazon and shipped from Wuhan, China because I've literally had better tasting steak at Applebee's. This rubbery piece of roadkill that was severed to my wife and I should of made the 6 o'clock news. I didn't even dare to bring the entire left over steak (dried possum) home for my dog, who would of slapped me across the face the minute he bit into it. The recommended $19 cauliflower side looked like an over cooked brain and tasted like a sponge with salt on it. Everything has 7 lbs of salt on it. I left the restaurant on a stretcher because my blood pressure was 700/473. The food took so long that we had no choice but to DoorDash food to the table while we waited for them decide how they would pass the dead possum as steak. Literally took 1 full hour for me to receive my disappointment. The beer was flat and warm. How do you mess this up??? Literally the best part of the entire experience was that I truly appreciated my wife's cooking that much more than this insult to mankind. The cook should be sentenced to life without parole for his role in this disaster. And to neatly place the cherry on top, you would of thought I was making my car note payment. $350!!! I literally would of rather sat down and ate at McDonald's and watched a meth head take their teeth out to eat a McMuffin than pay $350 ever again and visit this place. I'll eat a cold soggy hotdog before I ever go back to this place. Gross! read more

I was excited to try this restaurant, but I was a bit disappointed. The drinks were great, but the food was not what I expected. The ambiance was lovely, and the customer service was excellent! read more

To start off. The Lake Mary Fish Bones is an asset to the area. From Management to the Service Staff everyone is at the top of their game. Fish Bones is both a Sea Food & Carnivore Specialty House. The ambience inside and outside is tops. The service is exquisite. The menu has something for everyone. That is if you can get it. I choose this location because of their specialties. Within our party of three, we ordered a picture perfect Hard Wood Smoked Salmon. Another guest had the Wagu NY Strip cooked to perfection. For a number of weeks I had a burning desire for Prime Rib. Fish Bones takes Pride in theirs. It is advertised on the building. It has its place a number of ways in the menu. This is the only item on their menu I wanted. Being I can only eat certain items I choose this place and time for a certain specialty I assumed would be available. It wasn't available because Fish Bones ran out. Needless to say I did not have dinner. I did have a quarter pound Nathan's Hot Dog when I returned home. I gave it 5 Stars. The reason for Fish Bones 4 Stars. All and All. Don't miss this FISH BONES LAKE MARY LOCATION. It is worth going out of your way to enjoy. read more

Fishbones is a top notch seafood restaurant in Lake Mary. No Need to look at their menu as your entry is flanked by chilled cases of fresh seafood as well as meat options. Our appetizers of crab martini and bang bang shrimp exceeded expectations. Entrees of perfectly grilled, 2 1/2 thick pork chop and the tilefish with crab followed. Each prepared to perfection. The house salad and delectable bread rolls were excellent as well. Our waitress, Alexandria was well versed in the preparations, in addition to being attentive and extremely personable. Additionally the manager checked on our experience at least three time. Bonefish has a pleasant nautical vibe. Tables and booths are well distanced from each other, allowing for comfortable conversation. All in all a wonderful experience for a special occasion Enjoy read more

Came here one night for dinner hosted by the host of the tech conference I attended. We had the private room on the right inside the restaurant. We had small select menu. For the appetizer we had a mixed plate of raw oysters and shrimp with cocktail sauce, really delicious as well as a plate of grilled artichokes excellent! For the entree I had the Filet Mignon. I guess it was like an 8 Oz cut. It was good, a little over cooked and somewhat a little salty for my taste. I had a blueberry mojito which was absolutely on point. I found it highly unusual to find that they made a mojito THAT GOOD from a restaurant that's not of Cuban cuisine. Finally for desert I had a 3 layer cake with some strawberries on it that was delicious but overwhelming at the same time because I came out of the restaurant super full. Service was awesome. My only complaint was that I wish that my Filet Mignon could have been more perfect! read more

I've now been here four times so this review is based off a lot of experiences. I've sat outside three times and inside once. I love the outdoor patio. It's very welcoming and has great seating options. The inside is warm, cozy, but a little too dark. This year I visited in both April twice and mid-December. In April, the service was great on the patio. I was with friends for happy hour and our server refilled our waters. Asked us about refills promptly and our appetizers came out faster than expected. The second time I visited with co-workers, it was night and day. It took 30 minutes to get a round of waters for 6 people. Then, another 30 minutes for drinks...on a Tuesday night. We ordered appetizers and our main courses and it took two more hours. The restaurant wasn't even that busy. The food is good, but very out of touch. To upgrade to a wedge salad is $5, a total rip off. I came back in December and decided to give another try. This time we sat inside it was Saturday at 8:30pm and I had been traveling all day. We arrived at the restaurant and had to wait 20 minutes for a table, even though they weren't all full. We sat down and our server greeted the table who sat after us, before us. Ok, no big deal, but then took 15 minutes to get our drink orders. We all had the unlimited salads to start our meals and the unlimited bread. There were four of us and the guy brought out three slices of something that looked nothing like the bread in the photos or the past experiences. When I asked about refills, or enough for all four of us, he literally said, I think we ran out. Never followed up on it or anything. We ate our salads, got more water, I ordered a glass of wine and it took over 15 minutes. We all got our meals ribeye with fully loaded baked potato, unlimited shrimp meal, shrimp cocktail and I got the shrimp and chicken with side of cheesy broccoli. The shrimp was great. The chicken looked charred way too much, so I just asked for butter and mixed it with the broccoli. We got our meals around 9:37pm. After 15 minutes, we were all done eating. I was the only one with a drink (a glass of wine) everyone else only had water. Our waiter asked if we wanted dessert, we said no and would like boxes. After 15 more minutes, I went to the front and asked where our server was. Will was nowhere to be found. He finally came back to our table at 10:25pm and my email receipt is at 10:30pm. My dinner was $28 for shrimp, chicken and cheesy broccoli- I'd rate the meal a 3 mainly because the shrimp and broccoli were good (not with the $4 up charge for a side though). Then, I paid the up charge of $5 for my wedge salad. Then $18 for two glasses of wine. $51 for just me for the service we received was absolutely overpriced. If you want to eat at an overpriced restaurant with REALLY slow service and really no excuse for a two hour dinner with four people. This is your place. Clearly, not mine. read more

Food was amazing! Spicy tuna roll - crab martini - mahi mahi - house salad - trigger fish - boom boom boom! Great music and vibe too

Excellent food, quiet atmosphere. Waiter is always available and professional, on the expensive side, but worth it.

Food was good but we were a bit bummed about our visit. Ambiance would have been great if the table fire was offered to turn ours on. Our side orders were never ordered and service was slow on a non busy night. read more

Excellent experience! FishBones, part of Orlando-based, Talk of the Town Restaurant Group, has been a fixture in Lake Mary's exclusive Heathrow neighborhood for 15 years. I wanted to find a spot that had fresh Florida stone crab, so I selected FishBones. I am glad I did! I arrived early on Saturday (4:00 PM) and sat at the bar. The two bartenders (Chris H. and Felix) were remarkable. Super friendly, knowledgeable, professional, engaging, personable, and on top of things. I ordered Florida Stone Crab, Sautéed Broccoli and Roasted Garlic, Caesar Salad, Dang Bang Shrimp, and a Crooked Can Brewing Company Workaholic American Pale Ale. The Florida stone crab was fresh and served with all of the proper accompaniments.....served on a large platter over crushed ice with mustard sauce and a side of warm drawn butter. The Caesar salad was huge. The lettuce was crisp and fresh, the dressing was delicious, and the croutons were unbelievable. It was also a very nice touch to see that a manager (Matthew H.) was walking the room and came up to me to see how everything was. I highly recommend FishBones in Lake Mary. It was a wonderful dining experience from start to finish! read more

First time here was great. Service was pleasant & the waiter was very attentive. The manager also greeted us at our table & offered us some complementary samples of their meatball appetizer in their delicious Marsala sauce..off to a great start. Shortly after we were served our house salads and garlic cheese bread (which both are endless might I add). Sn: We ordered the house salad but you have the option to upgrade to Caesar for just $1. After munching for a few our table agreed upon the fried lobster tail as a starter and omg...it was nothing short of amazing. Lightly fried bites of delicious lobster served with a tangy dipping sauce. I ordered the lamb chops as my entree and these were literally the biggest lamb chops I've ever eaten and 3 come with the dish. I paired my dish with the whipped potatoes (so good), and the lamb was prepared medium per request. I honestly have no complaints, I'll definitely be back. read more

Nice environment, good meal. This place has both indoor and outdoor seating. Standard seating gets busy, but we were able to walk right up for bar seating on a Friday evening. We started off w/ sushi & brews. Tempura shrimp sushi roll as well as a spicy tuna roll. Truthfully, this was my first sushi experience, but it was pleasant. The tuna had a nice spice to it, but not overly spicy. The restaurant had several beers on tap including several locals (Red Cypress, Crooked Can, Cigar City, etc). I ordered scampi shrimp and scallops for an entree. The scampi was good. It was not over/under cooked at all. The dish was what you would expect from scampi. I ordered asparagus as a side, which was nicely cooked. The whole dish met expectations for scampi w/ asparagus. Overall, the sushi was the best part of the experience. read more

I had a wonderful first visit at Fish Bones. The ambiance is perfect for dining. I especially liked the privacy of the booths. Everyone from the host to the bartender to the server were friendly and professional. I was left with a favorable impression of the restaurant during the phone call I made to make reservations. When I arrived, the host acknowledged me with a nice smile and maintained eye contact. We were escorted to the booth at a comfortable pace. Menus were handed to us once we were all seated. We were greeted by our fabulous server within seconds. He smiled and made eye contact with everyone in our party. He greeted us and welcomed us before asking to take our order. He was very detailed in describing menu items. He was very knowledgeable about the preparation and ingredients of the menus items he described. All staff members were friendly and seen smiling. I would recommend this restaurant to someone looking for a menu of varied tastes in an upscale environment. All the food I ordered was flavorful, and I would be willing to dine again and try some other dishes, as the menu was quite extensive. The décor was enjoyable with the colors and layout and contributed to a peaceful ambiance. read more

My wife and I had an amazing experience and an amazing meal. Our server Derek was attentive but not intrusive. The manager also stopped by a couple times throughout the meal to ensure that we were having a great experience. My wife ordered the Hawaiian triggerfish fish topped with succulent lump crab with buerre blanc. I had the grouper special that was also topped with crab and buerre blanc and came with shrimp scampi. Both dishes were amazing. Top two dining experience of my life and Fishbone wasn't two. Highly recommend and we will return. read more

My mom and I were craving seafood so we decided to head over. The restaurant is very good for a date night, birthday dinner, or just a happy hour. We went on a Saturday night at 7 and there was no wait! Wow! Our server was great and very knowledgeable. We started off with the blu cheese chips. The were tasty just a tad too salty and oily. We then moved to the salmon tempura roll. This was awesome, fresh, and just enough portion wise for the price. Our salads came, the dressing is an acquired taste. I loved it but my mom wasn't a fan. You can always ask for a different salad. The bread ooo the bread! Soft, delicious, cheesy and fresh! So good. We ordered the grouper with a side of mashed potatoes! The grouper was delicious and blackened to perfection. The potatoes were mediocre, not too much flavor there. Overall we satisfied our seaf craving and it was a good dining experience. Next time I'll try the Madagascar shrimp (it's not on the menu)! read more

This place was delicious! We ordered sashimi to begin and everything tasted fresh. I ordered the special which was filet mignon with crab salad on top. The filet was cooked perfect and everything tasted great. We also had the mushrooms and creamed kale as sides...both great! The service was a little slow, and food took awhile to come out. We also ordered a second round of drinks and they never made it to our table. We eventually just cancelled them because we were done with our dinner by the time our waiter came back and we could tell him. read more

Sadly, I just had the worst experience I've ever had at Fishbones. The food is still good (some did comment that the fish and chicken were dry) but the service has declined. I guess this is what happens when the tip is mandatory. I ordered the lobster bisque and specifically requested bread with my soup. The waiter acknowledged my request but brought no bread. I requested bread again and I was told it would come with the salad. I sat and waited for the waiter to bring the bread with the salads since I guess it cannot be brought out before that. When it was finally seved we were told it was in the oven, except it was hard and room temperature. Of course, my soup was now cold. Not to mention, no one came to offer fresh pepper. One of our party wanted salt on his salad and that's when we noticed there was no salt and pepper even on the table. Another member of our party had to request pepper on his salad before the waiter went around with it. After waiting close to an hour to be served the main course, the waiter wasted no time in packing everyone up with to go boxes. Not once were we offered more water without requesting. It felt like we weren't wanted there. I miss the days when customer service was included in the dining experience. read more

Sam, manager was great! I'll leave it there. Felt disregarded as a 60 year old white woman dining alone. You don't know my story or what I do or don't have. And it shouldn't matter. A customer is a customer. I would not hire the bar staff and it's what I do for a living. read more

This restaurant has always been one of my favorites. I have been to the Happy Hour many times over the last 10 years, but I noticed things are changing last night. The Happy Hour menu lists red and white wine as the happy hour special. Believing it was a selection from the house wines, I ordered Pinot Grigio. When my check came, I was surprised that I was charged the regular price. I asked the waiter about that and was told the HH special was only for Cabernet and Chardonnay. When I placed that order, while looking at the HH menu, the waiter never pointed out that only Chardonnay was the white wine variety on the HH special. I objected, and pointed out that the menu said only red and white wine, and if only one selection of each variety was offered, that should have been defined on the HH menu, or by the waiter. I asked to see the manager. The manager argued that point because I specifically ordered Pinot Grigio, instead of white wine! I did not order it by a specific Brand label, but rather by the variety of a white wine. The menu was misleading, and it was petty of the manager to argue to the point of irritation. The service has gone downhill lately and I'm glad the Orlando area has so many choices of accommodating restaurants that appreciate your business. read more

This was my first time visiting Fishbones and I was really impressed. The table ordered the Wood Grilled Artichokes, Flash Fried Calamari and a couple of sushi rolls and every thing was perfectly cooked and tasted excellent. For an entree I ordered the Sea Bass and this is a definite "must". The fish tasted fresh and was well prepared. Service was also top notch with the waitress being very attentive and taking great care of our table. read more

Save your money! This place is the biggest used cars sales of a steakhouse. The wait staff is very money motivated and it makes the experience awkward. The food was extremely salty! All the way from appetizers to the main course. This was a huge hit to my bank account for a horrible meal. read more

Appetizers were good, but entrees and service left something to be desired. Compared to what we paid for our meal, the restaurant didn't feel "high end." For example, we got our appetizers well before our drinks, and the au gratin potatoes had cornflakes on them. read more

One of my absolute favorite places to eat in lake Mary! The all you can eat shrimp is the best part ever! $25-30 for all you can eat delightful jumbo all you can eat shrimp. The food is extremely fresh which is a major plus. The cheesey yeast rolls are to die for. You will want more and more. They literally melt in your mouth. The entree list is decent. Nice selections. The decor is amazing as well. Always a great vibe. Make sure you bring a sweater. Because it does get quite cold in the restaurant. They also have a great happy hour! read more

We went here for my birthday, and it was a happy birthday indeed! We got there during happy hour, and the prices were great for a place with such upscale offerings! We started with the Dang Bang Shrimp which was great. So many places tend to undercook shrimp nowadays. The calamari was great too. Cooked just enough to still be tender. We also had some really good jumbo shrimp cocktail which is ordered by the piece. They brought out this cheesy bread which was baked perfectly. My wife doesn't eat cheese, so I tried not to gush over it too much; I failed (sorry, Babe). But that's okay; she was enjoying a great dirty martini. I had the lamb chops, which I ordered medium, but received well done. Thankfully they tasted so good I didn't mind. I don't like mint jelly, which I guess is a traditional sauce for lamb chops. But that didn't matter because the chops didn't need any help. My wife had prime rib which she said was excellent. I look forward to visiting this location again if we're ever in the neighborhood. read more
