The aroma when you first walk in is amazing. The atmosphere was lovely. Every employee that we encountered was friendly and welcoming. Our server was so attentive and gave us great recommendations. The shareable mushrooms were delicious. The food was cooked well and tasty. We would go back. read more

This was my 3rd time patronizing this restaurant. And I enjoyed the food and staff were very attentive. Kareem was our waitstaff and he took very good care of all our dining needs. Whenever we're in the Sanford area we will definitely come back. Highly recommend. read more

My husband and I were just here for our anniversary dinner. It was, by far, the best dinner experience we've ever had. I say experience because what we had was a completely awesome experience, from our absolutely fabulous and attentive server, Mitchell, to our wonderfully engaging conversation with the Operating Partner, Matthew, to the above and beyond delicious meal. We couldn't have had a better anniversary dinner anywhere. Our meal began with the Colossal Blue Crab Martini which was so fresh and delicious. Mitchell recommended the truffle butter, which was such a nice compliment to the fresh crab. But, if truffle butter isn't your thing, you will enjoy the cocktail sauce and aioli that comes with it. My husband really enjoyed the clam chowder (filled with fresh clams). We then had the house salad and garlic cheese bread. One word: YUM!! Because it was our anniversary, the manager brought us a tasting of tuna tartar on tortilla chips. Oh my goodness! How tasty. Next were our entrees. Me: halibut; my husband: triggerfish. Both in a Beurre Blanc sauce. DEVINE!! Our sides: lobster mac nand cheese and a Colossal Sea Salted Baked Potato. Both of them were so good. Our last course was the Redemption Bourbon Salted Carmel Brownie. That was the best salted carmel ice cream I've ever had. The brownie was pretty good, too. You really need to make a reservation and go to Fishbones. You will not be disappointed. I'm already looking forward to my next visit. read more

Dinner visit on 4/10/23 First time visiting, I met 3 colleagues for dinner, we had a reservation. Atmosphere, service and food were each outstanding. I arrived a little early and was greeted at the bar. At the recommended of the bartender, I enjoyed a Gary's Smoked Old Fashion (I didn't name it) - it was excellent! Dinner was equally amazing. I went with the server recommendation (as did two of my colleagues) Fresh Fish Feature - Triggerfish with crab meat. All in a great visit and I will return! read more

FishBones - Trigger fish entree - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lake Mary, Florida

Food was great. Ambience and service was outstanding. Great restaurant for fine dining.

First time visiting and it will not be our last. When you arrive you are instantly greeted. The waiters are all dressed to the 9 and wear gloves when serving your food. They are also very courteous and attentive. We got our drinks and appetizer quickly. The food was very good & fresh. I love how private and cozy the room we were in felt, I ordered the Salmon and my husband got the combo with trigger fish & shrimp. I am very very picky with my seafood since we are a fishing family and eat fresh fish constantly. This fish was DELICIOUS. The salmon was moist and buttery, the seasoning was perfection & the garlic broccoli was cooked just right with whole garlic, butter and red pepper flakes. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his meal. The drink was very good and my affogato was the cherry on top for dessert. Espresso was not burnt & paired perfectly with the icecream. Impressed with the service & the restaurant wasn't very busy. read more

Stopped in to FishBones. Last time I was here it was great. Today I am so disappointed. My grouper for $43 was burnt on one side and over done (dry & tough). While the waiter was very good, friendly and professional; the manager, Sam, was not. He seemed more combative and confrontational than trying to be helpful. I didn't ask for anything and didn't receive anything. I'm mostly really disappointed that i drove 45 min to go here. I'll never be back. read more

My husband and I haven't been to Fish Bones for many years due to the fact that the place went downhill; however, after some research and looking at their current menu, we decided to give this restaurant another try. Soooo happy we did! The inside of the restaurant has been totally remodeled and is gorgeous. Except for the outside dining area, we didn't recognize it. They have quite a number of different dining areas including the outdoor dining. Beautiful bar area (with beautiful high top tables, totally separate from the other dining areas. Now the food...delicious, delectable and plenty of it. I had the Seafood Scampi with shrimp, clams and scallops. My dish was scrumptious! My husband had the 16 ounce Prime Rib (medium) came out perfect. He also had a loaded baked potato, which was enough for two people. What really made our eyes bug out is when they brought his side of broccoli , (this is no exaggeration) there was enough for FOUR PEOPLE! Needless to say, we took a lot of food home. I had a wonderful cocktail before dinner called a bacon blue cheese martini...yum and some delightful Moscato wine with my meal. Oh, as an appetizer, we both had escargot, which we love. It was scrumptious! Gary had a cocktail before dinner called, Gary's smoked old fashioned, also very tasty The staff is very professional, helpful, attentive and courteous! The restaurant is just huge inside so the only negative thing I have is that need restrooms at either end of the restaurant! My husband and I had the most amazing dining experience and will be back soon. Along with our boxes of extra food to take home, we ordered two desserts to go; Chocolate Cake and a Salted Caramel Cheesecake! WOW Go online and take a look see at the pictures of the restaurant, food and cocktails. read more

We hosted our mom's 90th birthday party here, and the experience exceeded our expectations. The event was a combination cocktail party and dinner in one of their private spaces, and the people, food and space made it memorable (predominantly the people and food). 1. Food: in an area not exactly known for cuisine, the food was great! We had passed apps in addition to a multi-course dinner, as well as a cake from the Glass Knife (which was soo tasty). People repeatedly commented on the quality of the food, and I was on the same page - everything I tasted was good-to-great (didn't waste space on the bread). We figured the fried lobster would be basic because...it's fried, but it was flavorful even without the sauce. The most surprising were the scallops: restaurants regularly ruin them, and these were perfect and packed with flavor. Hats off to both the recipe creators and the chefs of the evening. 2. Staff: top notch. We worked with Jessica in the months leading up to the event, and the on-site team - Kimberly, Dylan, Daniel, Casey and Michelle - thank you for taking such good care of everyone, and most importantly, for making mom feel special. 3. Vibe: professional team and nice space. We merged two of the private rooms to accommodate a bar, cocktail hour space and dinner tables, and it was great. Nice room, good lighting, etc. Overall, a great event! We highly recommend them. read more

I ordered the chef special, which was a humongous Caribbean lobster tail, and it tasted fantastic. The Dang Bang shrimp was also pretty good. However, I was disappointed to be charged for butter, as it's something everyone typically eats with lobster. For such a nice establishment, it felt like they were nickel-and-diming. That said, the service was exceptional. My waitress was phenomenal, and two managers checked in during my meal. I would definitely recommend this place and plan to return to try other menu items. They should consider including sauces for the lobster tail as well. read more

Spent my birthday at Fishbones hoping for a great dining experience and it was just that! Great service, great food, and great ambience. We had two appetizers shrimp and scallops, both were delicious! The house salad was extra special and delicious. The crab cakes seemed plentiful, 3 served, too salty, sure it was the claw meet and not lump crab, hence the larger serving, would not recommend, ribeye steak tender but little salty too.. Complimementary icecream for my birthday which was sweet! Overall excellent experience and will visit again. read more

I'll start with the server. She was amazing and knowledgeable. The salad and garlic butter rolls are really a great way to start the meal. You don't even need to order any apps because of this. However I was told the lobster bisque was really good. I got the crab cakes. More than filling. The au gratin potatoes were great too. Cool restaurant with Aquarium when you walk in. Neat place in Lake Mary. read more

Went during happy hour. The good drinks and craft beer you would want is of course not on special. Only 2 craft beers on happy hour and wasn't the popular good choices. I tried a sample of the craft beer with a hint of grapefruit in it and it was not cold at all and wasn't good in my opinion. Tried an old fashioned during happy hour and it wasn't good either because it had way too many original bitters in it instead of orange bitters and all I could taste was bitters not bourbon at all. Bitters can be very strong and a little bit goes a long way. Please don't use crushed ice in an old fashioned. Please use a large or round cube for a true proper old fashioned and the drink should not have a red color to it. Didn't taste any bourbon in it. Prime rib steak sandwich is on the happy hour menu and it actually tastes and the texture of a Arby's roast beef sandwich. The beef is shaved like a Arby's sandwich and actually tastes like one. Comes with fries. The oysters were very small and was not cleaned properly. Was not worth $18. The dang bang shrimp was the winner of the night and other $5.00 tea. Tried to give this place another chance but not sure I will come back $62 for happy hour is pretty pricey for happy hour plus tip. Like the atmosphere. You can sit inside and outside. Hostess was very nice. Would have liked to see a printed list of happy hour drinks on the menu instead of select martinis, select beer and select cocktails. It should be easy for a customer to select the right cocktail for them not guess what is on happy hour. Manager never came to our table on both visits. read more

Wow! What a great surprise it was to visit this restaurant. I was in town for a meeting with two important clients this week when we can for dinner. We were staying at the neighboring Marriott and none of us had ever been to FishBones and we had no preconceived impressions and honestly didn't really have high expectations. We'd just gotten off planes and were looking for a place to eat. From the moment we entered, the three of us were treated like the most important guests. Our server, Latroy, was a true professional. He knew the menu inside and out and made all of us feel welcome. The manager who came by (I can't remember her name) was also fantastic. Oh, and the food was delightful! Everything was beautifully prepared, fresh, and very visually appealing. I think we all took pics to share with our significant others who weren't able to join us. My clients also inquired about holing future events at FishBones and Latroy was equally great at showing us the rooms available and discussing potential options. It's obvious that the staff care about a job well done and ensuring their customers have a great experience. I'd recommend FishBones to any friend or colleague and I'd love to return there for another meal. read more

Food was outstanding. service was excellent and they always make us feel special. Highly recommended.

Normally would never give this place a bad review. We came in for happy hour and one of the items we ordered was the oysters on the half shell raw and also smoked. 4 orders at $17 & $19 for 6 oysters on each platter. They should have never made it to our table. They were awful, so small about the size of a dime. The raw were not even shucked properly and the smoked oysters were burnt so when we let the waitress know, the manager sent another 6 smoked oysters and they were even smaller and worse. Do not recommend ordering the oysters, the reason why we ordered them is because the last time we were there they were delicious. read more

Fish Bones never disappoints! It has been a while since going there (over a year). It's nice to see that the service, menu, and atmosphere is still on point. Honestly, I forgot how great this restaurant is! I highly recommend reservations if you are planning on going on a Friday evening or the weekend for dinner. Something that is new, or I do not remember is the $38 Chef special. For 38 you can choose 2 proteins and it comes with bottomless house salad and bread. The portions are huge! I had the char-grilled pork chop and fried shrimp. The shrimp was enough for dinner and the pork chop could have easily been for 2 people. The house salad was also amazing. I am not sure what their inhouse salad dressing is, but it is very good. They have a nice selection of signature cocktails. Yes, at signature cocktail prices. But again, you get what you pay for 100% at Fish Bones. This was the first time sitting outside on their covered patio. The patio has full service the same as the restaurant as well as a full-service bar. It was a little louder than I would have like just because we were sat close to the live acoustic singer. But you can request a table that is further away. The outdoor patio is large with plenty of regular table and high-top table seating. This place is the perfect location for a date night or special occasion! read more

Maddie is a friendly server. If she worked at a place that didn't sneak a tip on the bill without telling you she'd make more money. One of the two stars belong to her. Cold food. Steak, potatoes not even warm much less hot. Sushi guy quit in the middle of our order. Manager came by our table and long after our table mates got their appetizers asking how things were, we mentioned not seeing our sushi. She left and we assumed she or someone would be back (with the sushi ideally) but after 10 more minutes...nothing. Had to ask again. We were gracious and patient but seriously. We cancelled it and shortly after it arrived...everyone else long done with their items. They comped us so thank you but really... Ordered a 24oz lobster. Came breaded, chopped in pieces, stringy and (you guessed it) cold. Served on a huge bed of lettuce to make it look like there was a lot of lobster. Nah. Happy hour is the only reason to ever come here again as this is not even remotely up to the $ and standard for "nice dining". Never returning for dinner... read more

We love going here for happy hour! alex is a fabulous manager who got us a great table outside by the fire pits. Happy hour has fabulous sushi and great drinks from 4-6. On the main menu we love the lobster mac and the mahi. for happy hour, we always get the dragon roll, and a spicy, tuna roll paired with the wontons (shown below). The lobster Mac is a " side" but it's definitely big enough for two people to share and we usually have leftovers to take home. The ambience near the fire pits outside is very calming. However, the inside is a little bit more elegant with the lighting. read more

I got the filet 8oz with 3 shareable sides how do you spell as asparagus , loaded bake potato, and sauté mushrooms... absolutely delicious they have an all you can eat house salad with olive vinaigrette that's amazing along with cheesy garlic bread that automatically vines to the table ... service was on point and next to none ... she absolutely made sure we had full glasses at all times .. we sat outside on the patio and the weather was perfect.. I love the mermaid name bathrooms for the women and the ocean themed decor was my style ... it's a step above the rest type of restaurant. read more

In decades of fine dining this experience was new to me--feeling that the proprietor was purposely scamming me. An unpalatable vein steak was attempted to be passed as a NY Strip, which is shocking because I can't imagine anyone being pleased with the majority of it being connective tissue and fat. Separately, a prime rib arrived that was cold to the touch (literally refrigerated cold!). The "Hawaiian triggerfish" entrée was a bit of a conundrum as we are not sure what iit actually was--too large a fillet to be the popular Hawaiian reef triggerfish (humuhumunukunukuapua'a in Hawaiian), and too tasteless to be a grey triggerfish. Perhaps another imposter? In any case all three entrees were embarrassingly bad. I felt really bad for our server who was very attentive. With that said the sushi rolls were good, the cocktails creative and well crafted. The bread service was truly fantastic. The dessert and service did not disappoint. It was not lost on me that the beef is not said to be prime, and clearly it is not, despite being priced at that level. read more

Quite mid. Tried the steak and the trigger fish neither were bad, but definityly not impressive. Given the price point I expect the food to be better than just okay. read more

Fishbones is located in lake Mary in a nice area. The ambiance is nice and classy. The service was up to par as everyone was attentive. The food was pretty good. The bread was a bit bland. The salad was delicious. The salmon was okay I give it a 7/10 over all. It was my second time there and I would go back. read more

We stopped by after attending a fitness competition at the Marriott. My best friend had been on a 10 months strict diet and selected this place to be her first cheat meal. It was AMAZING! All of the seafood selection was incredibly delicious. It was very light, refreshing, and fulfilling. We also had a glass of Prosecco and their Cucumber Dartmoors was the perfect selection to our meal. Staff were extremely attentive. Everyone was very kind from host, to server, to the manager who checked by our table. I have been to Orlando before and had always been disappointed with the food. I'm spoiled living so close to great restaurants in DC but this place will definitely be on my list to return to visit on my next trip back to Florida. Highly recommend! read more

We went to celebrate our recent marriage. We were given a sushi appetizer on the house, had a round of sparkling rosè and Prosecco, the oysters were fresh, house salads and bread were amazing, we had the double cut pork chop and the prime rib as our entrees (au gratin potatoes and sautéed mushrooms as sides) and our 2nd drinks were the watermelon celebration and Washington state apple. Everything was so good and service exceeded our expectations! I would highly recommend this place! read more

This is the first time I've left Fish Bones disappointed. The first over sight was I had to ask for bread service. Bread service usually comes out with the drinks, or shortly after. Ours had not arrived by the time the appetizers were served. The steaks were cooked well as were the baked potatoes. But, the food was salty, it wasn't just my dish, it was the entire table. So the chef has a heavy hand with the salt. I would love to say it was just the steaks, but it was the potatoes and the chicken. That was what made the experience disappointing for my family. The food on this night definitely wasn't worth the price we paid. read more

My wife and I stopped into FishBones to take advantage of their happy hour prices for appetizers and drinks on a Saturday evening in late October. It has been a while since we have been here; however, not much has changed. We were greeted promptly and chose our seats at the bar. Shortly after, the bartender took our drink and food order. We ordered the Dang Bang Shrimp ($10), Lady Dragon Roll ($12), and two draft IPA's ($5 each). We received our drinks right away, and the food was out in about 10 minutes. Our dishes were fresh and delicious! I love the Dang Bang Shrimp - crunchy fried butterflied shrimp coated in spicy sauce. I could eat these all night long, not the best contrast with an IPA, but who cares! The Lady Dragon Roll had the perfect amount of sweet/savory mix: Eel sauce, cream cheese, and avocado to offset the heat of the Dang Bang shrimp. I highly recommend stopping in during happy hour as both of these menu items price for $17 each. We had a great experience at FishBones; however, dining is pricy! Two beers and two appetizers cost $40 minus tip, which is a full tank of gas for some people. I will return in the future for the drink specials but might reserve my appetite for a more affordable local favorite. read more

This was not my first time at Fishbones, and it will not be my last. I took my fiancé here as he had never been, and although he is not a seafood lover, he found that the chicken breast and the fried shrimp were delicious. Let me back up just a little bit... Our waitress Dia Was wonderful from beginning to end. We started off with a glass of wine and a beer and she explained the available current drinks in which one she particularly cared for. I got a glass of Malbec and he got a glass of beer. Dia also explained the current specials for food which included fish and different steaks. I couldn't help it and I got the ribeye and a baked potato. My fiancé got the two for $39 special which is a steal with chicken breast and fried shrimp. They also have fish and pork chops on the menu as well. We started off our meal with the dang bang shrimp, and they were delicious. I should note that they have unlimited bread and salad here and the dressing is delicious. My steak was a little under medium (my requested temperature) however, I prefer that, because I never finished the whole thing. The next day when I reheat it, it will be just as good as the day before and sit at the desired temp. This is a great addition to the Talk of the Town Restaurants. I love looking at the fish in their large tanks! I also love how they have the steaks on display when you walk in. It feels very much like a steak house but don't forget you're there for seafood too! Speaking of that; there have happy hour at this location and I will definitely make sure I go back to try that as they have a lot of seafood options and sushi. Thank you Dia for wonderful service! read more
