A little price but well worth it! My experience started with drinks and blue cheese chips on the outside patio followed by the filet inside. Great ambiance, great staff, great food. You get what you pay for and with the economy as it is. They're offering deals so get it while you can! read more

I was here for happy hour and loved it. The sushi is great and the martinis are a great deal at happy hour. I didn't have dinner here so I can't comment on that experience, but I would definitely go back for happy hour. read more

I had a bad experience years ago... decided to give it another go. Service was slow. Bread came out at the end of the meal. My t-bone was embarrassing.. extremely thin and chewy(wish I took a pic). Veggies were in-edible. If you need a drink and decent snack do the outside happy hour otherwise skip inside dinning. read more

To start off, mine and my sisters dinners were really good but we had to wait 15 minutes to even get greeted by our server. We then receive our drinks and appetizer which were good. The only downside about the appetizer was that the calamari was all stuck together. The main meal however for my mom was awful. She ordered filet mignon medium well which came out ten minutes after we were all done eating and it was rare. Our server said "moo" that's how rare it was. Then when the server returned with the now "thoroughly cooked" steak, she forgot the truffle butter. Even after "thoroughly cooking" the filet it was still rare. To sum up our experience, the service was awful and the food wasn't that good especially for the price. To say we won't be returning would be an understatement. read more

Went at 6:00. No service at Sushi bar or anyone cleaning plates. Extreme yelling in the kitchen area and long wait for food and very long wait for check. Left at 8pm. Two hours is too long for one order of Sushi and a desert. Desert has gone down hill used to be the best Red Velvet cake in town. Guess trying to save some money. Lots of folks running around however. read more

I have never had anything bad here. I the fish has always been outstanding. I like it sauced with the crab and mushroom beurre blanc. The one thing you must try is the lobster cappuccino. It's decadent! The restaurant is pricey but worth it. read more

Great menu, lots of offerings to make just about anyone happy. Service is very efficient and management keeps a close eye on the operation. If you like seafood, and have a decent budget, Fishbones will make you happy. If your budget is limited, Happy Hour is for you. People rave about the lobster cappuccino, but I find it very rich (a hypochondraic would get gout just from one bowl), but their other soups and apps are great. Again, if you have the budget, the bowl of Stone Crab claws is heaven, if you like that sorta thing. Hard to go wrong here, Can be good for kids, I guess, but t would not take kids here. There is outdoor seating with tvs and a large bar area. Inside is nice, even "dressy", but this is Orlando, so everything can be casual. But if looking for very casual, opt for outside when not Sauna like outside. They do take reservations for inside, not sure about outside. read more

Stopped in for a celebration cocktail on a Saturday around 4pm. We seated ourselves on the patio which was 75% full. The patio was relaxing even with the amount of customers dining. The derby was showing on the TV above the bar area and the overall noise level was low. It was easy to walk inside the restaurant and back to my seat. The area did not feel crowded or cramped. Our waitress was attentive, timely, informed us of specials and gave informative opinions when asked. My martini was very enjoyable, not too sweet and not too strong. I also ordered the California roll which did not have any avocado; disappointing but I didn't send it back. Overall the setting and cocktails were excellent and the food was tasty just missing a detail or two. As we were leaving a singer had arrived and started to sing as he played a guitar. The noise level was still moderate and I was able to carry on a conversation without yelling or repeating myself. I would come back for a second try. The experience was very enjoyable. read more

I visited this Fishbones location during happy hour, I had to try the spiked lemonade that a few friends were raving about! I was able to snag a seat pretty quickly. There is always a steady flow of people, so if you have a large party you may want to make a reservation. The house salad is a must try - I order it every time I go to Fishbones. The food was excellent as usual, and the service is always very fast and friendly. There are several Fishbones locations near where I live, but I prefer the Lake Mary location. read more

Fairly stock place for a meal. Good inside and out. Mix of fish and steak. If on business most will find something.

Terrible. Pricy & you would expect great food & service. I had the swordfish & mixed vegetables horrible. Not one of us ate the stringy mystery greens. You need scissors to cut them! The sword fish was nothing special at all. The service wasn't great. Although the waitress was nice she never even refilled our water glasses. Long wait for the bill also. Never going back! read more

Who can complain about a place that has happy hour 7 days a week, right!?!? No one! We ordered the Hawaiian cosmos and as always they were yummy! Ryan was our bartender and let's talk about someone who is pleasant outgoing and professional. I ordered a steak and it was a little too cooked for my liking and I had to send it back... to my surprise the manager (Eric) came out to apologize not even a minute later. Quickly after the most perfect steak came out, the manager realized our mushrooms that came out with my first order were cold and brought us a new order! No kitchen can predict how a steak will cook, it's how the front of house manages the situation and this place is looking to exceed guest expectations and I recommend it to all! read more

7pm our dinner party of 6 is seated while sipping expensive drinks we salivate at the prime rib plates delivered to the next table - 4 of us order it....... 15 minutes later are told they are out. Major disappointment! Its not even passed the major dinner hour! Filets then.... 40 minutes later we r served with medium temperature food with salt shoveled into our potatoes and steaks. After one bite of the potatoes I had to send them back. No one ate their meals with gusto - it's all fluff and does not meet a standard & level of restaurant fishbones thinks it belongs in... read more

Heard allot of good things about this Fish Bones. It surpassed my expectations. The Sea Bass lived up to all the hype and my wife had the Crab Stuffed Grouper which I also tasted and found amazing. Trent who was my server did an excellent job describing all the dishes on the menu and was very attentive on a busy night which was a pleasant surprise. I will definitely return to try the the Bone-in-Filet soon! read more

Extremely disappointed. I honestly didn't have any expectations coming in here as it was for a birthday event of about 20 people... Place looked nice...etc. Then... Food seriously reminded me of "Long John Silvers." Everyone at both tables were disappointed with their meals quality for the price, and I am one who enjoys quality over quantity. This was only the beginning... Then, they don't do separate checks so it took a little over an hour for them to figure out billing to leave the birthday girl with some "unpaid random $120 tax" to pay!!!! Are you freaking kidding me?! Someone should tell them that a bottle of Alamos wine is $8.50 at Walmart and not worth $52 here at this crappy restaurant that I will, nor will the 20 people I was with will ever attend again. DO NOT WAIST YOYR MONEY!!! read more

Attention to detail- excellent, both in food quality and service. Unique & varied menu. Enjoyed emmensely.

The food not cook properly. Ordered 1 pork chop got 2 that were 2" thick Chicken dish in comparison was a Very Small portion. The Whole Maine Lobster was cold when brought to the table. We were celebrating a birthday and everyone was being polite and didn't want to make a fuss. I found out later I have enjoyed my meals at Longhorn so much more in comparison ( price,service,meal preparation) If I'm going to spend $400 with no alcohol I expect the establishment to be a 3.5 to a 4 star restaurant. I do enjoy a great meal and will pay accordingly. Possibly this location is the lemon to the chain. New cooks and new management might be needed. I would definitely rate this resturant as one to avoid. They do have great key lime pie and clam chowder, but they probably don't have anything to do with the preparation of these items read more

Ate here over holidays. We had a large party and about half the meals were good and half very sub par. The food and service did not equal the price. We are speculating that the A team was on vacation?? Otherwise, this place is way overrated and not worth the price. read more

The food was delicious. Had the array of oysters as an appetizer. They were very fresh. Had the filet mignon. It was cook perfectly to the medium well I had ordered. Overall all the food was superb and enjoyable. No complaints about the food. The service was really good and always available and on top of taking care of the table. Had the spiked lemonade and it wasn't bad. I don't know if I'd order it again next time but it was refreshing. The atmosphere is very nice. I would most definitely come again and would recommend it to someone in town and wanting to have a nice dinner. Also the prices aren't bad when comparing he food and service to a restaurant of the same level. read more

Came here for 50th birthday dinner. Garlic parm oysters, bland. Escargot, even more bland. Salad was very good. "Grilled" snapper tasted like it had been marinated (for a very long time) in liquid smoke - sickening. Broccolini similarly inedible. Garlic whipped potatoes had no garlic flavor. Creamed kale was very good. Crab stuffed grouper. Again, bland. Decor was nice as was our server. $150 later.....wished we'd just made the drive to Mt Dora for Pisces Rising. So disappointed, had been wanting to try for awhile. Won't be back. read more

Such a great dining experience. We were a party of 7 with a high chair. They seated us at an 8 top table---plenty of room for us and our baby garb. The atmosphere was pleasant---not too loud, but didnt feel like I was in a library. Lots of large fish tanks, kitchen visible when you walk in. Our server, Rocco, was very attentive and patiently catered to us and our two school-aged girls. Appetizers (blue cheese chips and ahi) came quickly and were delicious. They brought the kid meals quickly and before everyone else, so our kids were happy and good to sit and enjoy the company without hunger-induced drama. The house salads were spun and finished in front of us (pretty cool). Everyone at our table thoroughly enjoyed their meals. They were delicious and the portions were generous. A bit pricey, but you really get what you pay for---a nice dining experience. read more

Went to Fishbones for my birthday. Always try something different and special. What a dinner. Our server Dennis was so attentive and made us feel welcome. I had lambchops and my date had prime rib. Wow what a portion. Started with mussels, their great cheesy bread and ended witheir signature dessert of chocolate cherry cake topped with mousse and covered with chocolate ganache. Awesome dinner and experience read more

Their ribeye is better as leftovers microwaved two days later than most other steak houses' dishes straight out of the kitchen. It's spendy, but the portions are huge and the quality of the meat is perfect. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and bar selection. For desert, order the baklava cheesecake. read more

My girlfriend and I visited FishBones for the first time last night to celebrate our Valentine's Day since we won't be able to this weekend. First and foremost let me say that the service was great. Our waiter was very friendly and memorable, and several managers came by to welcome us. We were given a free amuse-bouche of tuna tartare on nori chips, which was fresh and tasty. Now on to the things that weren't so great: My girlfriend ordered a sushi roll for her appetizer, the price was pretty high for only a 6 piece roll. While the roll was very good, the amount of fish in it was minuscule for the price. I ordered the fried calamari as an appetizer. The portion size was again pretty small for the price. The calamari itself was pretty standard, no better than you'd get at any Italian restaurant. The marinara sauce was ice-cold, which was a little off-putting. Next came our salads. My girlfriend ordered the wedge salad and I ordered the Caesar, but we were brought two wedge salads, I didn't say anything though because it looked really good, and it was. The salads were pretty large as well, but the cost was a little extra. The bread was alright, basically tasted like a school cafeteria roll with crispy melted cheese on top and olive oil with herbs and spices. Not necessarily a bad thing because I used to love school cafeteria rolls. For my entree I ordered the Filet Mignon Two Ways, a filet in beurre blanc sauce with 3 grilled scallops. As a side I had ordered the potato wedges, but when my plate came it had mashed potatoes on it. Again I didn't say anything because they were quite good. The waiter did notice that they had given me the wrong side though and brought out the potato wedges as well which we were not charged for, and they were great. I ordered my steak medium-rare, but it came out very very rare. Again I didn't say anything because I don't mind eating a good quality piece of beef rare or even raw, but I did have a little trouble finishing the most under cooked part of it. There is a fine line between seared and charred and the outside of the steak definitely crossed the line and had a noticeable burnt flavor. The scallops were ever so slightly overcooked, but they were delicious, the best part of the meal. My girlfriend ordered the stuffed grouper with green beans and orzo salad but the plate came out with mixed vegetables and orzo salad instead. Yet again, we didn't say anything. She liked her fish and the stuffing, for some reason she didn't like the orzo salad but I thought it was pretty good. The fish itself didn't have quite as firm of a texture as good grouper I've had in the past, but it was fine. We got dessert to go, I had the cheesecake, she had the key lime pie. When we opened them later we were surprised by how much smaller the pieces were than what we were shown on the dessert tray. The cheesecake was still decent for the price, but the key lime pie, while very good, wasn't worth it. All in all, the food was good, not great. Definitely very overpriced. Service and decor were excellent though, if you don't count the mistakes with our orders. read more

I went there last night, we reserved the private dining room for 18 and this was a company function with doctors. This was the worst experience Ive had. There was only one waiter for all.of us, no refills on water, just one glass of wine because he wasn't able to come back and ask us if we wanted more. I discussed with the manager before sitting down we needed two waiters he said I'll get him.some help...he never did. There was bugs flying around while our speaker was presenting. The speakers prime rib was so horrible one of the doctors to it home for her dogs. I will NEVER easy there again. Find another restaurant that truly is five a five star restaurant. If you are going out on a special occasion to impress a date don't go here. read more

Our first time to dine at the Lake Mary restaurant will not be the last. The manager Annette was wonderful greeting us although we arrive later than expected for our reservation and Trent our waiter did an excellent job describing the menu and attentive to our needs very professional. WE enjoy our great anniversary dinner thanks to Annette and Trent Sincerely Denise and Michael Burgess Daytona Beach Shores FL. read more

Excellent pork chops! Great salad and the brocollini was the best! The appetizer bang bang shrimp is worth coming back for. Since my first visit I've tried several other dishes. Everything has need excellent including the service. read more

Not impressed - Okay from the parking lot, easy parking plenty of space for parking. We did not have a reservation but was able to get a set pretty quick. We arrived about 7 for dinner. The atmosphere is nice semi romantic. Service from the time we walked in to the time we departed was excellent. Dinner - well the soup was very good, clam chowder. I had a filet and asked for it prepared medium, it came out rare, no were close to medium. There were three of us one of the guest had a shrimp pasta dish and he was not impressed, he indicated the pasta and shrimp was floating in a half inch of butter. The other guest ordered the lamb chops and they were also very rare but he enjoyed them. We had some of the lPA beer which was okay and did not have any desert so can give an opinion on that. I'm going to guess based on the price of the meals averaging $45 each plus drinks not including tip $200+ dollars. Before I rule it out I would like to give it another try. read more

Nice service. Wine selection was bordering on sub-par to just okay. My entree (pork chops) were served and had good flavor but were over-done making it a bit tough. (Granted, we were in a large group and the kitchen was trying to get out several covers simultaneously). Portion size was really too much and food was wasted. read more

Fishbones is a really interesting restaurant. First off I must say I've always been very pleased with the quality and quantity of food. The steaks are delicious and so is the seafood. I had the short bone in ribeye and it was fabulous. The service was excellent and friendly. The one thing I have to point out is that the seating arrangement is awkward at best. I was there for a romantic dinner and we were seated at one of the small booths. Right across from the booth are larger booths that when pulled together make a Giant party booth. It totally takes away from the romantic atmosphere and quite honestly it is distracting. I read more

If you don't mind the prices the food is outstanding. This is one of the places we like to go for a special occasion. My husbands dinner alone was $30 which is what we usually spend together or less at the places we frequent. But the seafood was so delish! 5 stars food wise but the prices are a little bit crazy. read more

This used to be my go to spot for happy hour. The restaurant Is beautiful. However, their happy hour prices have gone almost double on the food and the portions have gotten considerably smaller. read more

I am sorry to report we will not return, it started slow as it took 30 minutes for us to receive our first drink. And the food was just not great. I did say something to the staff and did get a visit from the manager however it did not make it taste any better. read more

I took a date tonight. I should have heeded a friend who recently ate there. He said the steak was terrible and loved my choice steak from Costco far more. My time NY strip was terrible. First it was not cooked right I wanted medium but got medium rare. It was not prime. Huge about of fat and difficult to cut with all the cartilage. It was terrible. My date took hers home for the dog. I will NEVER eat there again. Waste of money. Disgusting. read more

Went to Fishbones at 5:15pm on a Sunday, hardly anyone there, and they say an hour wait. We both looked puzzled at them and left. Only thing we could figure out is not enough servers. The last restaurant that did this to us is now closed.#emptyrestaurant=hourwait? #lostcustomer read more

Beautiful restaurant and atmosphere but the quality of the food and service have dramatically gone down. Too bad since it used to be among my top 10 restaurants. read more

See my check in comments - refuses to honor reservation at Patio despite 3 emails confirming it as we celebrate my wife's birthday. Not welcomed of greeted by any of the 5 hostesses when we got here and simply told the patio is open seating. read more

Not sure what the hype is about their happy hour, but we went last week with four out of town friends to check it out and were extremely disappointed. Will not return. Their "happy hour" prices were unbelievably high. There was nothing happy about their prices nor the poor food quality you receive. They offer sushi rolls for $10.00, however, that is an average price for a sushi roll just like ones they served, not a good deal. The worst part was their macadamia chicken tenders. There was no macadamia on them. They were $8.00 (happy hour price ?) for 5 overcooked, dry, thin chicken pieces. The only saving grace was the jelly they give you to dip them into. If we did not have that, they would have been inedible. We ordered the bang bang shrimp. So average tasting & overpriced. Great atmosphere outside, overpriced everything on happy hour including their wine & alcoholic drinks which are the same price as everywhere else during non happy hour. All food we tried & we ordered pretty much 1 of everything & we all shared was below average read more

A-mazing. The food here is so fresh and delicious. They make the house salad right at the table for you and serve it very nicely. When you eat here expect it to be a two-hour dinner. The service is very in-depth but slow. The explain the entire menu for you which is nice and helpful. There specials are all incredible and the ambiance is great. The only qualm, is it is a bit pricey, but totally worth it once you eat there. read more
