Bonefish is by far my favorite chain restaurant. Food is always delicious. My go to is the bang bang shrimp, Lilly's chicken with the Jasmine rice, and I top it off with creme brulee. The creme brulee is a great bonus as I don't know anywhere else in the area that serves it. I would absolutely and irrevocably recommend that you check it out even though the more people that go, the longer the line will be, and then I'll have to wait longer for my Lilly's chicken...but I guess this recommendation is for the greater good, at least that's what I'm telling myself. Bon Appetit!

The super bowl night and we decide to sit at the bar side of the Bonefish Grilled. The new added menu for the Bar Bites Menu has added another dimension for the order. The items start at $4 to $12. The bar bites menu have 8 selection and some of the selection have two different type of meat. The appetizer has 11 items to select. The combination of the bar menu and the appetizer create over twenty different selection. This is good business model with Tapas mentality that the bonefish management has provided the customer with more choice. It definite makes the top bar in this area. It will attract more customer in the future. Tonight we started with the Lamb Lollipop hops. I have this dish at different Bonefish location and I want to make sure different chef can create this dish better. The lamb chop turns up better at this location. The meat is cook to perfect medium and have hint of salt to make the chop taste better without losing it meat taste. We have order the Lobster Street Taco. My wife like this dish and said it have big chunk of lobster meat and worth the $5 item. We have order a bowl of the corn chowder with crab meat. I will advice you order the bowl instead of the cup when you are hungry or two people in the party that can share this dish. The cup and bowl size only a $1 different and you get more on the bowl. We have gone to the appetizer menu and order the Filet Satay. This is new item in the appetizer. It is a center cut filet mignon in soy seasoning and serves with spicy mustard sauce in tomatoes, cucumber, onion. The meat is tender and soft. The only down side is each pieces is small. However they are delicious. The next appetizer is Singapore Calamari. The calamari is lightly dry pepper breaded and deep fried. It serves sweet spicy sauce. They are crispy and we have left nothing on the plate because they are insane good. The last item is the coconut shrimp with sweet spicy sauce. The dish has six jumbo shrimp and coated with coconut flake. This is a good value dish and it is less than $9. We are stuff after all the items. I forgot to mention the Sunday night have happy hours till 6:30. The wine is $3.25 a glass and the draft beer is a dollar. Can't beat that!!! Our server is super nice and attentive. As a result, tonight we are awarding this restaurant with 5 stars.

Wow! The atmosphere and service was impeccable. Thank you for giving us a very gracious introduction to our first dinning experience here in Tampa Bay. I loved the Gin Martini with Blue Cheese filled Olives here. A first for me. Thank you Collin our waiter. The food was very good as well. If I were to visit more often here I would go here ASAP. If this happens to be a 1st and last. I would reflect upon it fondly. Thank you.

Only liked the bang bang shrimp everything else was to bland. We had a burger and the lamb lollipop sticks. Also our server wasn't very pleasant and I had to ask her for bread.

And three is generous. We were seated immediately. The waitress was congenial and helpful. We started with the watermelon salad. It was tasty, but stingy with the watermelon (at the height of the season) and my palate did not detect even a hint of the promised salsa verde. The arugula was bright and peppery, the feta a lovely compliment to couple the flavors. I picked up hints of oregano and possibly mint. The feta cream was lacking. I had the fish and chips and the fish was good. The fries were soggy and cold; had the appearance and feel of having cooked in cold oil. The Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos were over-dressed, but otherwise as expected. The tacos are wrapped in a single tortilla each. They could be improved upon if enfolded in a double layer of tortillas. Waitress asked if I'd care for malt vinegar before my food was delivered. . I told her I'd prefer lots and lots of lemon. Dish was delivered with one very small wedge. I requested more from the expediter. Seven minutes and cold soggy fries later, the waitress showed, sans lemon. Five more minutes for lemon. And fries replaced fourteen minutes after plate was delivered. Restaurant was not busy on a Sunday night... Only offered a box or the check after she overheard my complaint to my husband, though our dishes were pushed aside. Service improved somewhat after the tip -we use 20% as our minimal starting point. This server deserved barely that tonight.

I'm a fan of Bonefish, always a good meal and good service. The Wesley Chapel location definitely needs a dining room facelift...it just seems dark and cramped. If they made the dining area as nice as the bar area, definitely would be a 5 star!

Great meal the other night as we arrived in to town. Service was quick and flavor was very good. Oyster Rockefeller, fish, shrimp were all on target.

My family and I eat here at least once a week, sometimes more. The food is always fantastic, it's Bonefish, you know what you're going to get. I've been to the Carrollwood location several times this past year, it's close to my office, but each time I've been it makes me appreciate Wesley Chapel that much more. The food is better overall but the service is what keeps us coming back to this location. We go often so we've sat with practically every server. They are all extremely friendly, very attentive and treat my children well, what more could I ask for after a long day at work(besides a martini)?It's definitely our go-to dinner spot, we'll probably go tonight!!

Had dinner last wed. at bonefish. We were celebrating our 48th anniversary. The bartenders heard us talking and bought us a round of drinks for celebrating our special day. I will I could remember their names to give them a special shout out. We both had the lobster and it was very good

Good basic seafood. Nothing really special, but it's a nice atmosphere, romantic but noisy. It must be Tampa,s version of le Bernadine. Very nice staff. The new menu is better, but I noticed that they take items from other restaurants. I like the Thai coconut shrimp, corn and crab chowder, fish & chips and several other dishes. Great drinks.

Our experience Here was horrible. Our waiter forgot to bring our bread and drinks. We didn't have anything for like 23 mins. Them waiter comes by and asks if we are enjoying ourselves lol uhhhhh not without drinks and bread. Food came out cold and super greasy. Not going to this location ever again.

Weekday evening meal. Promptly seated and graciously greeted by my server. Took my lead when I let it be known that I wasn't interested in hearing the specials. Wine was delish and lobster grilled cheese was everything I hoped for ... Hot, savory and, above all, yummie.

The food is excellent but it is so overpriced. I usually go to the sushi place next door instead. The parking is horrible so you will have a bit of a walk from your car. The atmosphere is nice. People get dressed up to go here. I've been here about 6 times in the last few years. All there really is to eat is fish so picky eaters will not be happy. The two main cons for me not going as much are price and limited menu.

Erin P.
Always consistent! The Bang Bang Shrimp is so delicious & you must get it if you visit any location. I get the Filet Mignon. So tender it melted like butter. My husband always gets a fish special. This last visit he got the Red Snapper. Extremely flaky :) The side of asparagus is so fresh.......taste like it was just picked out of a garden. Only negative: Parking can be a hassle. Get here early on Friday or Saturday evenings otherwise the wait is long & you will have to walk quite a distance if you are lucky to find a parking space. Worth the wait!

Helen L.
Great service, Gabriel was wonderful. Food was tasty as well though sometimes salty. Bang bang shrimp had a kick to it but tasty as an appetizer to share. The shrimp was fresh and smothered w a mayo type sauce. The Ahi Tuna Sashimi crust was a little thicker than I wanted but the tuna was still good. The steak dinner was something you'd expect but also can be topped with different sauces. The fishes have different toppings and combinations as you would like. I had ordered the Longfin Tilapia with some Pan Asian sides. I'm not sure why I did that but I didn't think the Chimichurri Sauce would go well.

Matt V.
Some of the best consistently good seafood! Top notch service! The wife and I love this place for date night! Tuesdays see all day drink and appetizer specials! A bit pricey but well worth it.
I enjoy this location. Excellent steak and drinks. Sometimes I notice they charge full price to me on wednesday for the shrimp special though.

Kathleen R.
This was my first visit to Bonefish after hearing great recommendations i expected more. I ordered a dish that was 17.50 and was told I could swap out the fish for another. When the bill came they had added a $10 upcharge for the swap. I also had the garlic mashed potatoes which were gritty, I'm sure they were instant. I ordered a raspberry martini that was pure syrup. I couldn't even drink it. All in all I would not go back. I don't understand what the hype was about.

Thomas D.
Bonefish is good..what can I say. Its safe and it is consistent and you can never go wrong finishing your dinner with an esspresso martini! That said as one could imagine there is better seafood to be had in the bay area. The mussels are great and you can make a meal out of them with the bread they serve becuase the broth at the bottom of the bowl is fantastic!

I keep trying to get a good dish at Bonefish, but they fail every time. How does one make tasteless fish? Not worth the $$. Sigh, I give up.

I've been to numerous BF's throughout the country and this location that happens to be near my FL home is hands down the best location I've dined at. Yes, they are a chain restaurant, but the delivery is very consistent as is the service. The specials always rotate and add variety to the menu options, although some of my favorites have been recently replaced on the menu I always find something I enjoy... Also there are 3 servers that stand out at this location: Ray, Travis, and Nicole...

Shannon M.
Can I get a "Bang Bang Shrimp" wow, so tasty and a kick. Great as an appetizer to share. It is more of a fish place, but the steak is also amazing. It is juicy and very tender. Comes with two sides, I usually get a caesar salad and their mashed potatoes. You can also choose from different sauces to top the steaks and fish dishes. They have a great variety in the bar. I personally like any type of Merlot! They staff here is great, it is more of a training place, so they take pride in making sure they are training them well.

Bonefish, why do you have to disappoint me so?! I've been to this location several times before, but not in the past year. My past visits have been pleasant, a solid 4 star experience. And I'm not even a lover of seafood. I've eaten there for lunch, and dined for dinner, and stopped in for appetizers and drinks during happy hour. But last night's experience leaves a lot to be desired. And it was for dinner at 8pm on a THURSDAY! After joining the Yelp train, I've come to dislike chains, but Bonefish does provide a certain element of ambiance and good food that allows it an exception. Usually. The problem last night was not that I had to wait 10 minutes (which I passed enjoyably at the bar and it went fast) but that they crammed so many people in there that the decibel level was unacceptable. Our tiny table was crammed between two other tables. I think my butt probably went in the other table's dipping sauce as I tried to sit down! Add to that the awkward conversation between a mom and her teenage daughter on the other side and any ambiance was quickly thrown to the curb. :( Food...meh. Drinks...yum. I ordered the pomegranate mango red sangria which was very tasty. My partner went with a Sam Adams, which you can't go wrong with. The bread was fresh and tasty. My caesar salad was blah, tasted like someone plopped some mayo and parmesan on some lettuce and called it a day. My man's salad was fine, but nothing to Yelp about. He ordered the bang bang tacos, which delivered just fine. I ordered a Kobe burger with mushrooms. One word...disappointing. I can't believe I paid $12 for such a poor representation of a burger! Thick cheddar piled on a burger (which they put together very odd...bottom bun, mayo, pickle, tomato, burger, cheese, mushrooms, lettuce, onion, more mayo) that kept slipping out of the bun. Taste was sub-par. Would not order again. Mushrooms tasted jarred or canned, no flavor and very fake tasting. Thank goodness I used a gift card I had been given. I don't see myself going back to this location. Too much hype for a chain, and too crowded. Might consider an appetizer and drink earlier on a weeknight.

I am not a fan of chains normally. I despise them. But Bone fish was a surprise favorite and I went with a group. I had the watermelon salad with the salsa verde dressing on the side and it was so refreshing and delicious! One of the best salads I've had and I would come back to just have that again. I would have liked more watermelon! I also sampled a few bang bang shrimp and 1 coconut shrimp and these were delicious! For my entree I had the grilled grouper w mango salsa and for my sides I had the season and steamed veggies. I had the small portion and I could only eat half. I definitely had left overs. I also had a few bites of the key lime pie which was delicious! I would definitely come back here. The service was great and I enjoyed my meal. Delicious and healthy! ;)

By far the best, most consistent restraunt I have ever been to. My wife an I go here regularly and I get the steak smothered in the fontina chop toppings. Wife gets the fish. We love our meals and the service is always great. We ask for Ray. He is the best. This place is superb. Also not a big salad guy but absolutely love their house salad. Good stuff.

Always a sure bet, great food and service. If you love seafood you will have a great selection. Caesar salad is great, as is the bang bang shrimp, the calamari and our favorite is the saucy shrimp. I highly recommend making reservations because they are usually busy. So happy this Bonefish opened by our house so that we no longer have to drive to Carrolwood.

Good quality food and service was great! My wine was half off(open to 6:30pm). The appetizer was good "fresh ceviche", and tried one of their special swordfish which was taste like steak! and some strawberry short cake for the dessert. No complaints at all! I would go back there again!

Darrell D.
I am very impressed with Bonefish. It is an uncommon restaurant chain. The food is actually reasonably priced for the quality and portions. They have various fresh fish options and sauces to compliment them. A staple which I noticed was on everytable was "Bang Bang Shrimp" you need to try it. We had the Rainbow Trout with mango salsa sauce and the fillet or steak with the corn chowder. At first I was sceptical about their steak but everything was delicious. The service was great, they have alot of options for appitizers. I liked the seared ahi tuna sashimi and of course the bang bang shrimp. It gets crowded very quickly, call ahead. the average wait for non-reservation in 20-30 minutes and longer durring prime times. A great place to have a drink and a satifying dinner.

We went here at 9 o'clock on a rainy night and there was still a wait, I was shocked. Once we were seated, our waitress was extremely tentative and friendly. My husband and I ordered Bang Bang Shrimp, crab cakes, Bang Bang tacos, house salads and I had a glass of wine. Everything was delicious, nothing to complain about. The Crab cakes were probably my favorite, they used big chunks of crab meat and not a lot of bread and fillers - just perfect. Also, the house salads and Bang Bang shrimp were great too. I plan on becoming a regular here.

This is our favorite place to eat in this are. The food is excellent, service is top notch. We have several favorite waters, who make a point of coming to speak to us, even if they are not waiting on us. Jonathan, Ray and Ashley are fantastic, they make our meal with the special things they do and their impeccable manners. Great happy hour too. We take all our family and friends there, when they visit. We will continue to go back there again and again. B & B

First, we were greeted warmly. The staff were all friendly and helpful. It was our first visit and our waiter took the time to discuss the entrees in detail; he knew the dishes well. He took the time to get to know us to discover what we like. His recommendations were spot on. Secondly, the food was phenomenal! The Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer was zesty and just perfectly done. I had Dynamite King Salmon and have to say it was the best salmon dish I have ever tasted. There were layers of flavor, very creative! My husband had Longfin Talapia, which I tasted and found delicious as well. The place was almost full early on a Wednesday evening. I noticed they did a lively to go business as well. Car after car drove up to a side door and someone came out to personally hand them their dinner. Several staff members stopped to check on us and to open the door for me when we left. I felt so appreciated. My husband said it was money well spent! I am so glad we found this place and will definitely return often.

Love this Bonefish! Service is awesome! Food comes out so fast! Drinks are great! Happy hour is great and Sunday brunch is so good! Wednesday is probably best day to go for happy hour specials and bang bang shrimp! I took one of my girlfriends recently that had never been and she is now hooked! The way I describe Bonefish best is that I have tried almost everything on the menu and NOTHING has ever been bad or something that I did not like and wouldn't order again! :)

We joined a group of friends here for dinner last night. I was told it was "the best" place in Wesley Chapel (that just cannot be true). I've dined at the BG in other locations before and found it to be a quality, mid-priced place for seafood. There was a 20-minute wait because these kinds of establishments don't accept reservations. That's a problem. Get with it, BG, or you'll be relegated to the Long John Silver class. The waiter, Gabe, was spot-on. The guy knew his stuff and was right there from the moment we arrived until we walked out the door. His style of service (jovial, confident, professional, friendly) was much appreciated. This guy knows his wine, too. He drinks what he sells. The food came out quick enough and everyone was satisfied (to varying degrees). The seafood was priced a bit on the high end, but you get good-sized portions. We did not opt for dessert, choosing instead to order another bottle of the dark Pinot. And, yes, we did have the Bang Bang Shrimp -- doesn't everyone? All in all, it's an OK place. It was a 3 to 3.5 night; I rounded up due to the waiter's most excellent service. Sure, I'd go back. (Since this is "the best" place in Wesley Chapel.)

My wife and arrived at 8:00 with no reservation we had a 1-20 min wait. we decided to sit at the bar while we waited. The bar staff was great. We had a young lady taking such good care of us that we never heard the beeper go off. I went to the hostess stand to return of beeper and explain that we were happy at the bar and would stay there to have dinner. Next thing i know the Manager came over to apoligze for us missing our table. I told her it was no big deal. She then sent us a order of BANG BANG SHrimp. UMMM SO GOOD! Our meals and the night out was perfect. We also got to watch Game 1 Yankees and Detroit Tigers and the Gator Game.

Like most other Outback-owned restaurants, there are no reservations. Only the useless call-ahead-seating is available so wait times can get very long. In this location, the dining area is of equal size to the bar, so they probably made the wait times worse than they could have been. The food is quite good. Since they specialize in grilled fish, I usually stay within those confines. The Sea-Bass is very nice. The mussels josephine, the bang-bang shrimp and the tuna tataki are all stand-outs for appetizers. Atmosphere is dark and smart casual. Could be good for either date or family night. Service is strange.. our server was a freak about putting drinks on napkins and screwed up our drink order once, but everyone was friendly and prompt enough. Overall, I'd say this place deserves 3.5 stars, but, since I'm in a good mood, I'll round up.

I needed to find a place to eat that wasn't fast food. Bonefish Grill looked like a cool spot. It was a bit out of the way, even though on my hotel map it looked closer. Bonefish Grill is located in the nicer, suburby part of Tampa. It kinda reminded me of the OC or Scottsdale. The staff were friendly, which is always good when I dine alone for business. Lucky for me, it was happy hour, so I got a yummy cocktail, Mango Sangria for half off. The appetizer was also discounted, so I got my fave coconut shrimp and round it off, I got a side house salad. It was just enough food and everything was very tasty. Too bad they don't have any locations back in Cali because I would've liked to try their entrees.

I love when places are consistently good all the time. Bonefish Grill in Wesley Chapel, I'm talking to you. I have been here a handful of times before, but before this last visit, it has been a while. Our food has been great, and our service is always perfect whether we are sitting inside or outside, weekend, or non-weekend. The hosts and hostesses are very welcoming. The male and female waiter/waitress that we had were always very helpful, and pleasant. I met one of the managers who is very helpful, and suggested the Side Car with Mango twist, and I loved it. Here's a list of must tries. Honestly, it's just everything we have tried recently: Lobster Thermidor Mahi Mahi - This is so good and moist, and I love the lobster chunks. Wish there were more of course. Next time I may ask for sauce on the side. Fontina Chop - Pork Marsala with mushrooms, and the sauce is perfect. Crab and Corn Bisque Soup - so good and tasty. Espresso Martini - the sugar and lemon like rim makes this martini stand out from others. Side Car with Mango Twist Drink - very tropical refreshing Mac and Cheese Bites - the sweet chili sauce is the cherry on top with this. Donuts - Have fun squeezing the filling into the donut and being all artsy on this one. Pork buns - Make sure that you go easy on the bbq sauce, because it to me tastes better with less sauce, and I do love sauce. The last three are from the new bar bites menu. Everything on that menu is amazing.. Try their bar bites. They call them #incredibleIS. Yes, they are incredible.

Bonefish is one of the closest sit down restaurants to my house - we don't eat seafood so we had never tried it before. We went because we wanted something different without having to go far. I'm so glad we did. Service is wonderful, first of all. Even though choices were limited (only one non-seafood app) the servers and hostesses made it with it. Kids had normal kiddie meals and were satisfied. Hubby and I picked two things to try - I had the fontina chop and he had the chicken with spinach & goat cheese. The chop was outstanding! So flavorful and juicy. Chicken was mostly good, but pretty typical. The sides were all veggie based and fresh. I'll definitely go back to try drinks (looks like a fun drink menu).

I am a huge fan of Bonefish but, avoid this location if at all possible. The bar is pretty consistant but, the kitchen is a hot mess. As a local, I have frequented this location since it opened. Sadly, this restaurant is incapable of serving good food consistantly and pays little attention to customer dietary requests. After an entire year of returning food to the kitchen, I refuse to waste my time or money as a patron. Trust me on this one!

Great place for lunch or dinner! I love the option to select a sauce and fish option. If you are indecisive, they will accommodate and give you a few options!! I also really like the rainbow trout which is something I rarely order. Bang bang shrimp is a must-have. And my non-seafood husband really liked the burger! Also, another great feature is if you are indecisive over a wine, they will give it a generous tasting!!!

Sisco S.
First time experience and not impressed. To start, I think the hostess came in on her day off or hates her job. No greeting and our menus were practically thrown at us. After a trip to the restroom, waiting for approx. 5 min. after that, I we finally got a waiter to notice us in the back. He got our drink order while we were trying to figure out what lunch at Bonefish looked like. Oh yeah...at this point, my son has given up all hope that he was going to get crayons for his kids menu. The waiter gets back, we order. Not sure if it was the atrocious service, dead atmosphere or the waiter and his smart-ass remarks, but only 2 of our orders got put in. What!?..no crayons or food? What the heck!..Hey, uh what was your name again?...waiter. You forgot my son's order. Response: Well, I was standing right here. Were you here?... I guess the fact that our food wasn't spit on gets them 1 star. Wait, I think..

After a recent business meeting in New Tampa, I was searching for someplace to have lunch. I'm not often in this part of far northern Hillsborough / southern Pasco Counties, and so there are a number of places that I've not yet tried. As I drove north up Bruce B. Downs Boulevard I spotted a Bonefish Grill off on the right side of the road, and decided to stop there for lunch. You'll find this Bonefish just south of S.R. 56, in a little strip mall facing Bruce B Downs. In full disclosure, many of the Tampa Bay Yelpers attended an awesome event at the Bonefish Grill in South Tampa a few weeks ago, and we were given gift cards to use at their restaurants. Free seafood for lunch? Yes, please! Bonefish is known for their outstanding seafood served in a casual, yet classy environment. The chain started in St. Petersburg, FL back in 2000, and has quickly expanded to well over 150 restaurants. Their menu offers lots of well-known appetizers (like the Bang Bang Shrimp), freshly-made soups, salads, burgers, tacos, wood-grilled fish, steaks, and chops. They've also added some bowls of shrimp, tuna, or chicken served over a salad or noodles. Since I've eaten at Bonefish for dinner many times in the past, I decided to try a couple of new things off their lunch menu, and encouraged my associate to do the same. I began my meal with their new Cold Snap Fresh Ceviche which included chilled bay scallops, shrimp, and freshly-diced fish, mixed with diced avocado, cucumber, jalapeno peppers, red onion, and tomato. That was all marinated in citrus juice and cilantro, and then served inside of an "ice bowl" on a plate with warm tortilla chips. For my main course I had their Maryland-style Jumbo lump crab cakes which were mostly crabmeat and very little filler, then flash fried and served with a spicy red remoulade dipping sauce. I passed on the French fries, and instead tried their chilled pesto cous cous salad with cherry tomatoes. The restaurant was surprisingly busy for lunch, which kept the servers and the kitchen hopping. I thought that our server was very pleasant, and she gave us some good recommendations of things to try. I'm not up to this part of town very often, but would definitely come back to Bonefish Grill if I was in the neighborhood.

Bonefish is by far my favorite chain restaurant. Food is always delicious. My go to is the bang bang shrimp, Lilly's chicken with the Jasmine rice, and I top it off with creme brulee. The creme brulee is a great bonus as I don't know anywhere else in the area that serves it. I would absolutely and irrevocably recommend that you check it out even though the more people that go, the longer the line will be, and then I'll have to wait longer for my Lilly's chicken...but I guess this recommendation is for the greater good, at least that's what I'm telling myself. Bon Appetit!

The super bowl night and we decide to sit at the bar side of the Bonefish Grilled. The new added menu for the Bar Bites Menu has added another dimension for the order. The items start at $4 to $12. The bar bites menu have 8 selection and some of the selection have two different type of meat. The appetizer has 11 items to select. The combination of the bar menu and the appetizer create over twenty different selection. This is good business model with Tapas mentality that the bonefish management has provided the customer with more choice. It definite makes the top bar in this area. It will attract more customer in the future. Tonight we started with the Lamb Lollipop hops. I have this dish at different Bonefish location and I want to make sure different chef can create this dish better. The lamb chop turns up better at this location. The meat is cook to perfect medium and have hint of salt to make the chop taste better without losing it meat taste. We have order the Lobster Street Taco. My wife like this dish and said it have big chunk of lobster meat and worth the $5 item. We have order a bowl of the corn chowder with crab meat. I will advice you order the bowl instead of the cup when you are hungry or two people in the party that can share this dish. The cup and bowl size only a $1 different and you get more on the bowl. We have gone to the appetizer menu and order the Filet Satay. This is new item in the appetizer. It is a center cut filet mignon in soy seasoning and serves with spicy mustard sauce in tomatoes, cucumber, onion. The meat is tender and soft. The only down side is each pieces is small. However they are delicious. The next appetizer is Singapore Calamari. The calamari is lightly dry pepper breaded and deep fried. It serves sweet spicy sauce. They are crispy and we have left nothing on the plate because they are insane good. The last item is the coconut shrimp with sweet spicy sauce. The dish has six jumbo shrimp and coated with coconut flake. This is a good value dish and it is less than $9. We are stuff after all the items. I forgot to mention the Sunday night have happy hours till 6:30. The wine is $3.25 a glass and the draft beer is a dollar. Can't beat that!!! Our server is super nice and attentive. As a result, tonight we are awarding this restaurant with 5 stars.

My husband and I have never had a bad experience at this restaurant. The food is excellent and service remarkable. Just thinking of it makes me want to go lol
(5)Christian P.
Wow! The atmosphere and service was impeccable. Thank you for giving us a very gracious introduction to our first dinning experience here in Tampa Bay. I loved the Gin Martini with Blue Cheese filled Olives here. A first for me. Thank you Collin our waiter. The food was very good as well. If I were to visit more often here I would go here ASAP. If this happens to be a 1st and last. I would reflect upon it fondly. Thank you.
(5)Mo N.
Only liked the bang bang shrimp everything else was to bland. We had a burger and the lamb lollipop sticks. Also our server wasn't very pleasant and I had to ask her for bread.

And three is generous. We were seated immediately. The waitress was congenial and helpful. We started with the watermelon salad. It was tasty, but stingy with the watermelon (at the height of the season) and my palate did not detect even a hint of the promised salsa verde. The arugula was bright and peppery, the feta a lovely compliment to couple the flavors. I picked up hints of oregano and possibly mint. The feta cream was lacking. I had the fish and chips and the fish was good. The fries were soggy and cold; had the appearance and feel of having cooked in cold oil. The Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos were over-dressed, but otherwise as expected. The tacos are wrapped in a single tortilla each. They could be improved upon if enfolded in a double layer of tortillas. Waitress asked if I'd care for malt vinegar before my food was delivered. . I told her I'd prefer lots and lots of lemon. Dish was delivered with one very small wedge. I requested more from the expediter. Seven minutes and cold soggy fries later, the waitress showed, sans lemon. Five more minutes for lemon. And fries replaced fourteen minutes after plate was delivered. Restaurant was not busy on a Sunday night... Only offered a box or the check after she overheard my complaint to my husband, though our dishes were pushed aside. Service improved somewhat after the tip -we use 20% as our minimal starting point. This server deserved barely that tonight.
(3)James P.
I'm a fan of Bonefish, always a good meal and good service. The Wesley Chapel location definitely needs a dining room facelift...it just seems dark and cramped. If they made the dining area as nice as the bar area, definitely would be a 5 star!
(4)Phil M.
Great meal the other night as we arrived in to town. Service was quick and flavor was very good. Oyster Rockefeller, fish, shrimp were all on target.
(5)Jami S.
My family and I eat here at least once a week, sometimes more. The food is always fantastic, it's Bonefish, you know what you're going to get. I've been to the Carrollwood location several times this past year, it's close to my office, but each time I've been it makes me appreciate Wesley Chapel that much more. The food is better overall but the service is what keeps us coming back to this location. We go often so we've sat with practically every server. They are all extremely friendly, very attentive and treat my children well, what more could I ask for after a long day at work(besides a martini)?It's definitely our go-to dinner spot, we'll probably go tonight!!
(5)Joe B.
Had dinner last wed. at bonefish. We were celebrating our 48th anniversary. The bartenders heard us talking and bought us a round of drinks for celebrating our special day. I will I could remember their names to give them a special shout out. We both had the lobster and it was very good
(5)Joseph A.
Good basic seafood. Nothing really special, but it's a nice atmosphere, romantic but noisy. It must be Tampa,s version of le Bernadine. Very nice staff. The new menu is better, but I noticed that they take items from other restaurants. I like the Thai coconut shrimp, corn and crab chowder, fish & chips and several other dishes. Great drinks.
(3)Paola M.
Our experience Here was horrible. Our waiter forgot to bring our bread and drinks. We didn't have anything for like 23 mins. Them waiter comes by and asks if we are enjoying ourselves lol uhhhhh not without drinks and bread. Food came out cold and super greasy. Not going to this location ever again.
(1)Jayne K.
Weekday evening meal. Promptly seated and graciously greeted by my server. Took my lead when I let it be known that I wasn't interested in hearing the specials. Wine was delish and lobster grilled cheese was everything I hoped for ... Hot, savory and, above all, yummie.
(5)D P.
The food is excellent but it is so overpriced. I usually go to the sushi place next door instead. The parking is horrible so you will have a bit of a walk from your car. The atmosphere is nice. People get dressed up to go here. I've been here about 6 times in the last few years. All there really is to eat is fish so picky eaters will not be happy. The two main cons for me not going as much are price and limited menu.
(3)Erin P.
Always consistent! The Bang Bang Shrimp is so delicious & you must get it if you visit any location. I get the Filet Mignon. So tender it melted like butter. My husband always gets a fish special. This last visit he got the Red Snapper. Extremely flaky :) The side of asparagus is so fresh.......taste like it was just picked out of a garden. Only negative: Parking can be a hassle. Get here early on Friday or Saturday evenings otherwise the wait is long & you will have to walk quite a distance if you are lucky to find a parking space. Worth the wait!
(5)Helen L.
Great service, Gabriel was wonderful. Food was tasty as well though sometimes salty. Bang bang shrimp had a kick to it but tasty as an appetizer to share. The shrimp was fresh and smothered w a mayo type sauce. The Ahi Tuna Sashimi crust was a little thicker than I wanted but the tuna was still good. The steak dinner was something you'd expect but also can be topped with different sauces. The fishes have different toppings and combinations as you would like. I had ordered the Longfin Tilapia with some Pan Asian sides. I'm not sure why I did that but I didn't think the Chimichurri Sauce would go well.
(3)Matt V.
Some of the best consistently good seafood! Top notch service! The wife and I love this place for date night! Tuesdays see all day drink and appetizer specials! A bit pricey but well worth it.
(5)Bronze M.
Bonefish Grill is one of my favorite restaurants. True to form, this one did not disappoint. I was with a big group for work, so naturally, we knew that the orders would be complex - but this was no issue for the wait staff, who were 100% on top of their game. We ordered approximately 12 different appetizers. They all came out hot and timely. The same with our food. There was a slight delay with some of the dishes - because there was over 20 of us. But the last entrée was served within 3 - 5 minutes of the first coming to the table. Of course, Bang Bang Shrimp was ordered. I am allergic to shellfish, but I was able to order Bang Bang Chicken instead (it's not on the menu, but if you ask them to do so, they'll make it for you). The ambiance is great, the food is wonderful, the drinks are made to perfection and the staff is topnotch. B. Major Grade: A+
(5)Fedor G.
I enjoy this location. Excellent steak and drinks. Sometimes I notice they charge full price to me on wednesday for the shrimp special though.
(4)Kathleen R.
This was my first visit to Bonefish after hearing great recommendations i expected more. I ordered a dish that was 17.50 and was told I could swap out the fish for another. When the bill came they had added a $10 upcharge for the swap. I also had the garlic mashed potatoes which were gritty, I'm sure they were instant. I ordered a raspberry martini that was pure syrup. I couldn't even drink it. All in all I would not go back. I don't understand what the hype was about.
(2)Thomas D.
Bonefish is good..what can I say. Its safe and it is consistent and you can never go wrong finishing your dinner with an esspresso martini! That said as one could imagine there is better seafood to be had in the bay area. The mussels are great and you can make a meal out of them with the bread they serve becuase the broth at the bottom of the bowl is fantastic!
(3)Reesie R.
I keep trying to get a good dish at Bonefish, but they fail every time. How does one make tasteless fish? Not worth the $$. Sigh, I give up.
(2)The L.
I've been to numerous BF's throughout the country and this location that happens to be near my FL home is hands down the best location I've dined at. Yes, they are a chain restaurant, but the delivery is very consistent as is the service. The specials always rotate and add variety to the menu options, although some of my favorites have been recently replaced on the menu I always find something I enjoy... Also there are 3 servers that stand out at this location: Ray, Travis, and Nicole...
(5)Shannon M.
Can I get a "Bang Bang Shrimp" wow, so tasty and a kick. Great as an appetizer to share. It is more of a fish place, but the steak is also amazing. It is juicy and very tender. Comes with two sides, I usually get a caesar salad and their mashed potatoes. You can also choose from different sauces to top the steaks and fish dishes. They have a great variety in the bar. I personally like any type of Merlot! They staff here is great, it is more of a training place, so they take pride in making sure they are training them well.
(4)Jen G.
Bonefish, why do you have to disappoint me so?! I've been to this location several times before, but not in the past year. My past visits have been pleasant, a solid 4 star experience. And I'm not even a lover of seafood. I've eaten there for lunch, and dined for dinner, and stopped in for appetizers and drinks during happy hour. But last night's experience leaves a lot to be desired. And it was for dinner at 8pm on a THURSDAY! After joining the Yelp train, I've come to dislike chains, but Bonefish does provide a certain element of ambiance and good food that allows it an exception. Usually. The problem last night was not that I had to wait 10 minutes (which I passed enjoyably at the bar and it went fast) but that they crammed so many people in there that the decibel level was unacceptable. Our tiny table was crammed between two other tables. I think my butt probably went in the other table's dipping sauce as I tried to sit down! Add to that the awkward conversation between a mom and her teenage daughter on the other side and any ambiance was quickly thrown to the curb. :( Food...meh. Drinks...yum. I ordered the pomegranate mango red sangria which was very tasty. My partner went with a Sam Adams, which you can't go wrong with. The bread was fresh and tasty. My caesar salad was blah, tasted like someone plopped some mayo and parmesan on some lettuce and called it a day. My man's salad was fine, but nothing to Yelp about. He ordered the bang bang tacos, which delivered just fine. I ordered a Kobe burger with mushrooms. One word...disappointing. I can't believe I paid $12 for such a poor representation of a burger! Thick cheddar piled on a burger (which they put together very odd...bottom bun, mayo, pickle, tomato, burger, cheese, mushrooms, lettuce, onion, more mayo) that kept slipping out of the bun. Taste was sub-par. Would not order again. Mushrooms tasted jarred or canned, no flavor and very fake tasting. Thank goodness I used a gift card I had been given. I don't see myself going back to this location. Too much hype for a chain, and too crowded. Might consider an appetizer and drink earlier on a weeknight.
(2)Lavash C.
I am not a fan of chains normally. I despise them. But Bone fish was a surprise favorite and I went with a group. I had the watermelon salad with the salsa verde dressing on the side and it was so refreshing and delicious! One of the best salads I've had and I would come back to just have that again. I would have liked more watermelon! I also sampled a few bang bang shrimp and 1 coconut shrimp and these were delicious! For my entree I had the grilled grouper w mango salsa and for my sides I had the season and steamed veggies. I had the small portion and I could only eat half. I definitely had left overs. I also had a few bites of the key lime pie which was delicious! I would definitely come back here. The service was great and I enjoyed my meal. Delicious and healthy! ;)
(5)Carlos A.
Bang bang shrimp is great appetizer. Service is always good and friendly. Cilantro lemon chicken salad is always so tasty. Strongly recommend.
(5)Joel H.
Not much going on here if you don't eat fish or dairy. I only go here on team gathering nights (as one of the team members gets a discount). The food is good, just very limited for my diet.
(3)Cesar L.
Superb food & outstanding service!
(5)Mike A.
By far the best, most consistent restraunt I have ever been to. My wife an I go here regularly and I get the steak smothered in the fontina chop toppings. Wife gets the fish. We love our meals and the service is always great. We ask for Ray. He is the best. This place is superb. Also not a big salad guy but absolutely love their house salad. Good stuff.
(5)Dan R.
Bang Bang. That's all you need to know. The bang bang shrimp and the bang bang tacos were execllent. Outdoor seating and people watching adds to the experience I will definitely go back here.
(4)Gail L.
Always a sure bet, great food and service. If you love seafood you will have a great selection. Caesar salad is great, as is the bang bang shrimp, the calamari and our favorite is the saucy shrimp. I highly recommend making reservations because they are usually busy. So happy this Bonefish opened by our house so that we no longer have to drive to Carrolwood.
(5)Tae J.
Good quality food and service was great! My wine was half off(open to 6:30pm). The appetizer was good "fresh ceviche", and tried one of their special swordfish which was taste like steak! and some strawberry short cake for the dessert. No complaints at all! I would go back there again!
(5)Darrell D.
I am very impressed with Bonefish. It is an uncommon restaurant chain. The food is actually reasonably priced for the quality and portions. They have various fresh fish options and sauces to compliment them. A staple which I noticed was on everytable was "Bang Bang Shrimp" you need to try it. We had the Rainbow Trout with mango salsa sauce and the fillet or steak with the corn chowder. At first I was sceptical about their steak but everything was delicious. The service was great, they have alot of options for appitizers. I liked the seared ahi tuna sashimi and of course the bang bang shrimp. It gets crowded very quickly, call ahead. the average wait for non-reservation in 20-30 minutes and longer durring prime times. A great place to have a drink and a satifying dinner.
(5)Yum E.
Great food and outstanding customer service. My recommendation is the mahi, with the mango glaze!
(4)Carmen H.
We went here at 9 o'clock on a rainy night and there was still a wait, I was shocked. Once we were seated, our waitress was extremely tentative and friendly. My husband and I ordered Bang Bang Shrimp, crab cakes, Bang Bang tacos, house salads and I had a glass of wine. Everything was delicious, nothing to complain about. The Crab cakes were probably my favorite, they used big chunks of crab meat and not a lot of bread and fillers - just perfect. Also, the house salads and Bang Bang shrimp were great too. I plan on becoming a regular here.
(5)Scott L S.
Bang Bang Shrimp is Off The Chain! $5 Off on Weds
(5)Terry C.
This is our favorite place to eat in this are. The food is excellent, service is top notch. We have several favorite waters, who make a point of coming to speak to us, even if they are not waiting on us. Jonathan, Ray and Ashley are fantastic, they make our meal with the special things they do and their impeccable manners. Great happy hour too. We take all our family and friends there, when they visit. We will continue to go back there again and again. B & B
(4)Sheila B.
First, we were greeted warmly. The staff were all friendly and helpful. It was our first visit and our waiter took the time to discuss the entrees in detail; he knew the dishes well. He took the time to get to know us to discover what we like. His recommendations were spot on. Secondly, the food was phenomenal! The Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer was zesty and just perfectly done. I had Dynamite King Salmon and have to say it was the best salmon dish I have ever tasted. There were layers of flavor, very creative! My husband had Longfin Talapia, which I tasted and found delicious as well. The place was almost full early on a Wednesday evening. I noticed they did a lively to go business as well. Car after car drove up to a side door and someone came out to personally hand them their dinner. Several staff members stopped to check on us and to open the door for me when we left. I felt so appreciated. My husband said it was money well spent! I am so glad we found this place and will definitely return often.
(5)Shane M.
Great food...Great service...
(5)Julie C.
Love this Bonefish! Service is awesome! Food comes out so fast! Drinks are great! Happy hour is great and Sunday brunch is so good! Wednesday is probably best day to go for happy hour specials and bang bang shrimp! I took one of my girlfriends recently that had never been and she is now hooked! The way I describe Bonefish best is that I have tried almost everything on the menu and NOTHING has ever been bad or something that I did not like and wouldn't order again! :)
(5)Paul P.
Service was excellent. Food was mostly excellent but someone in our party ordered grouper and it was not cooked all they way through. It was an exceptionally thick piece of fish but it should have been cooked through
(3)Chey E.
I love this place and my kids love this place so it's perfect for our family nights out! The Bang bang shrimp is a family favorite but I love their Thai Shrimp appetizer. They have happy hour half off appetizers til 6:30 which is awesome cuz we eat early. The staff is awesome as well so its an all around winner!
(5)Ben V.
Bonefish is simply awesome. Romantic atmosphere coupled with great seafood. Drinks are well made also
(4)Max S.
I eat here once or twice a week. Always greeted with a pretty smile. Blake takes good care of us and Ty is quick to serve at the bar. I love the food and great service but I love the fact it's more for adults and NOT kids.
(4)Natalie K.
Fresh and tasty, one of the better chain restuarants in town. A+ for attentive and professional service. A consistent alternative to driving to South Tampa for more exotic fare.
(4)Cma P.
Great Bonefish location! I always order Salmon here.
(4)Kim L.
Foods great. Bang bang shrimp fantastic! Parking is just horrible. I always have a hard time coz it's always full. You need to call for reservation. The best way to insure seat.
(4)Dan D.
We joined a group of friends here for dinner last night. I was told it was "the best" place in Wesley Chapel (that just cannot be true). I've dined at the BG in other locations before and found it to be a quality, mid-priced place for seafood. There was a 20-minute wait because these kinds of establishments don't accept reservations. That's a problem. Get with it, BG, or you'll be relegated to the Long John Silver class. The waiter, Gabe, was spot-on. The guy knew his stuff and was right there from the moment we arrived until we walked out the door. His style of service (jovial, confident, professional, friendly) was much appreciated. This guy knows his wine, too. He drinks what he sells. The food came out quick enough and everyone was satisfied (to varying degrees). The seafood was priced a bit on the high end, but you get good-sized portions. We did not opt for dessert, choosing instead to order another bottle of the dark Pinot. And, yes, we did have the Bang Bang Shrimp -- doesn't everyone? All in all, it's an OK place. It was a 3 to 3.5 night; I rounded up due to the waiter's most excellent service. Sure, I'd go back. (Since this is "the best" place in Wesley Chapel.)
(4)Jeff C.
My wife and arrived at 8:00 with no reservation we had a 1-20 min wait. we decided to sit at the bar while we waited. The bar staff was great. We had a young lady taking such good care of us that we never heard the beeper go off. I went to the hostess stand to return of beeper and explain that we were happy at the bar and would stay there to have dinner. Next thing i know the Manager came over to apoligze for us missing our table. I told her it was no big deal. She then sent us a order of BANG BANG SHrimp. UMMM SO GOOD! Our meals and the night out was perfect. We also got to watch Game 1 Yankees and Detroit Tigers and the Gator Game.
(5)Todd G.
Their food has always been excellent! 4 stars because the service has been off a couple times.
(4)Nicole E.
Food is always delicious, whether it's fresh fish, steak, or their "bang bang shrimp!" Service is always classy and helpful
(5)John H.
Like most other Outback-owned restaurants, there are no reservations. Only the useless call-ahead-seating is available so wait times can get very long. In this location, the dining area is of equal size to the bar, so they probably made the wait times worse than they could have been. The food is quite good. Since they specialize in grilled fish, I usually stay within those confines. The Sea-Bass is very nice. The mussels josephine, the bang-bang shrimp and the tuna tataki are all stand-outs for appetizers. Atmosphere is dark and smart casual. Could be good for either date or family night. Service is strange.. our server was a freak about putting drinks on napkins and screwed up our drink order once, but everyone was friendly and prompt enough. Overall, I'd say this place deserves 3.5 stars, but, since I'm in a good mood, I'll round up.
(4)Leanne B.
My husband and I ate here on a Friday night around 9:30 pm. There was no wait and the service was fantastic. So was the food. It was the second time we have dined at this particular restaurant, and we recommend it.
(4)Rochelle R.
I needed to find a place to eat that wasn't fast food. Bonefish Grill looked like a cool spot. It was a bit out of the way, even though on my hotel map it looked closer. Bonefish Grill is located in the nicer, suburby part of Tampa. It kinda reminded me of the OC or Scottsdale. The staff were friendly, which is always good when I dine alone for business. Lucky for me, it was happy hour, so I got a yummy cocktail, Mango Sangria for half off. The appetizer was also discounted, so I got my fave coconut shrimp and round it off, I got a side house salad. It was just enough food and everything was very tasty. Too bad they don't have any locations back in Cali because I would've liked to try their entrees.
(4)Brett B.
Bang Bang shrimp and Fish and Chips! Good service, very nice and helpful. A simple good seafood restaurant.
(3)Tom P.
Always a great experience. Scallops terrific with the mango sauce. The attitude of the staff is what impressed me the most. We provided several minor challenges and the team responded beautifully.
(5)Rachel M.
I love when places are consistently good all the time. Bonefish Grill in Wesley Chapel, I'm talking to you. I have been here a handful of times before, but before this last visit, it has been a while. Our food has been great, and our service is always perfect whether we are sitting inside or outside, weekend, or non-weekend. The hosts and hostesses are very welcoming. The male and female waiter/waitress that we had were always very helpful, and pleasant. I met one of the managers who is very helpful, and suggested the Side Car with Mango twist, and I loved it. Here's a list of must tries. Honestly, it's just everything we have tried recently: Lobster Thermidor Mahi Mahi - This is so good and moist, and I love the lobster chunks. Wish there were more of course. Next time I may ask for sauce on the side. Fontina Chop - Pork Marsala with mushrooms, and the sauce is perfect. Crab and Corn Bisque Soup - so good and tasty. Espresso Martini - the sugar and lemon like rim makes this martini stand out from others. Side Car with Mango Twist Drink - very tropical refreshing Mac and Cheese Bites - the sweet chili sauce is the cherry on top with this. Donuts - Have fun squeezing the filling into the donut and being all artsy on this one. Pork buns - Make sure that you go easy on the bbq sauce, because it to me tastes better with less sauce, and I do love sauce. The last three are from the new bar bites menu. Everything on that menu is amazing.. Try their bar bites. They call them #incredibleIS. Yes, they are incredible.
(5)Melissa M.
Bonefish is one of the closest sit down restaurants to my house - we don't eat seafood so we had never tried it before. We went because we wanted something different without having to go far. I'm so glad we did. Service is wonderful, first of all. Even though choices were limited (only one non-seafood app) the servers and hostesses made it with it. Kids had normal kiddie meals and were satisfied. Hubby and I picked two things to try - I had the fontina chop and he had the chicken with spinach & goat cheese. The chop was outstanding! So flavorful and juicy. Chicken was mostly good, but pretty typical. The sides were all veggie based and fresh. I'll definitely go back to try drinks (looks like a fun drink menu).
(4)Samantha M.
I love the seared ahi here. Menu has changed over the years...quality isn't as good as it used to be...but it's still a nice place to go eat in the local area.
(3)Leanne C.
I am a huge fan of Bonefish but, avoid this location if at all possible. The bar is pretty consistant but, the kitchen is a hot mess. As a local, I have frequented this location since it opened. Sadly, this restaurant is incapable of serving good food consistantly and pays little attention to customer dietary requests. After an entire year of returning food to the kitchen, I refuse to waste my time or money as a patron. Trust me on this one!
(1)Kevin S.
I've been here a few times. I'm not really a seafood kind of guy, but my girlfriend is. The choices they have for people who don't eat seafood is alright. It definitely could be a little more options but it's okay I guess.
(4)Virgus D.
The Fathers Day brunch dining experience was amazing.The service and greeting was World Class.I was warmly greeted at the entrance by Stony and Rebecca.The wait time was less than 10 minutes. The server AJ was professional and knowledgable.He explained the Brunch combinations and returned promply to take the order.Food was hot and very good.The brunch menu provided many choices.I selected the shrimp and eggs omlett.My wife ordered the steak .After relaxing a few minutes the Manager John stopped by to say thanks for visiting He was polite professional and made us feel at home We will visit this Bonefish often in the future Highly Recommend for world class service and great food.
(5)Kerri M.
Great place for lunch or dinner! I love the option to select a sauce and fish option. If you are indecisive, they will accommodate and give you a few options!! I also really like the rainbow trout which is something I rarely order. Bang bang shrimp is a must-have. And my non-seafood husband really liked the burger! Also, another great feature is if you are indecisive over a wine, they will give it a generous tasting!!!
(4)Sisco S.
First time experience and not impressed. To start, I think the hostess came in on her day off or hates her job. No greeting and our menus were practically thrown at us. After a trip to the restroom, waiting for approx. 5 min. after that, I we finally got a waiter to notice us in the back. He got our drink order while we were trying to figure out what lunch at Bonefish looked like. Oh yeah...at this point, my son has given up all hope that he was going to get crayons for his kids menu. The waiter gets back, we order. Not sure if it was the atrocious service, dead atmosphere or the waiter and his smart-ass remarks, but only 2 of our orders got put in. What!?..no crayons or food? What the heck!..Hey, uh what was your name again?...waiter. You forgot my son's order. Response: Well, I was standing right here. Were you here?... I guess the fact that our food wasn't spit on gets them 1 star. Wait, I think..

I love bonefish but I have to say I'm so disappointed that they cook the bacon wrapped scallops off the menu what were you thinking that was one of your best appetizers I would love to see you bring them back

After a recent business meeting in New Tampa, I was searching for someplace to have lunch. I'm not often in this part of far northern Hillsborough / southern Pasco Counties, and so there are a number of places that I've not yet tried. As I drove north up Bruce B. Downs Boulevard I spotted a Bonefish Grill off on the right side of the road, and decided to stop there for lunch. You'll find this Bonefish just south of S.R. 56, in a little strip mall facing Bruce B Downs. In full disclosure, many of the Tampa Bay Yelpers attended an awesome event at the Bonefish Grill in South Tampa a few weeks ago, and we were given gift cards to use at their restaurants. Free seafood for lunch? Yes, please! Bonefish is known for their outstanding seafood served in a casual, yet classy environment. The chain started in St. Petersburg, FL back in 2000, and has quickly expanded to well over 150 restaurants. Their menu offers lots of well-known appetizers (like the Bang Bang Shrimp), freshly-made soups, salads, burgers, tacos, wood-grilled fish, steaks, and chops. They've also added some bowls of shrimp, tuna, or chicken served over a salad or noodles. Since I've eaten at Bonefish for dinner many times in the past, I decided to try a couple of new things off their lunch menu, and encouraged my associate to do the same. I began my meal with their new Cold Snap Fresh Ceviche which included chilled bay scallops, shrimp, and freshly-diced fish, mixed with diced avocado, cucumber, jalapeno peppers, red onion, and tomato. That was all marinated in citrus juice and cilantro, and then served inside of an "ice bowl" on a plate with warm tortilla chips. For my main course I had their Maryland-style Jumbo lump crab cakes which were mostly crabmeat and very little filler, then flash fried and served with a spicy red remoulade dipping sauce. I passed on the French fries, and instead tried their chilled pesto cous cous salad with cherry tomatoes. The restaurant was surprisingly busy for lunch, which kept the servers and the kitchen hopping. I thought that our server was very pleasant, and she gave us some good recommendations of things to try. I'm not up to this part of town very often, but would definitely come back to Bonefish Grill if I was in the neighborhood.
