We were skeptical when we decided to try out this place because we had never heard about it and someone told us it had only been open for a little over a year (it was only after our visit that I found out it was actually a chain). Turned out my skepticism was unwarranted as our dinner there easily exceeded expectations. Appetizers started with a soft sourdough with olve oil and basil (?). I decided to try the lump crab corn chowder, which was excellent on its own and even better using as a dip for the bread. My entree was the longfin stuffed with shrimp, scallops, and more lump crab, doused with a delicious cream sauce. I'm salivating just remembering it, and it went very well with my sides, asparagus and potatoes al gratin. If I could criticize anything, the fish itself (tilapia) was a little on the bland side, but with everything put together it was hardly noticeable. After the bread and soup, I could hardly finish the large fish entree, although I tried my best because I didn't want to waste. The ambiance was nice... dark like most restaurants try to be to give you the "upscale" experience, but because the tables are so close to each other it hardly feels as private as the lighting would suggest. Service was quick and to the point. Just a party of two, we were in and out of there in less than an hour. I'm not sure when or if I'll ever get a chance to visit Cleveland again but now that I know Bonefish is a chain I will definitely keep my eye out...

I'm a Bonefish fan nationally speaking BUT this particular location is all about serving you Red Lobster quality food at double the cost. I took my girlfriend here initially on a busy night. Huge mistake. The place is right across from a very busy Holiday Inn so they are slammed on certain weekend nights. Her mahi mahi was grossly overcooked and the taste was the farthest from "fresh fish" you could imagine. My fish was grossly undercooked. We got a good laugh out of that. They ended up comping our bill but it still ruined our night as it was really too late to go elsewhere. I'm a big seafood fan and I've beeen to better bonefishes in other cities so I decided to chalk it up to business and give it one more try on a slow night. I got scallops and she got mahi mahi again. They were both cooked "ok" this time maybe a little on the overdone side for her fish. Both items didn't taste very fresh certainly not something I'd expect from any other location. 2 strikes and your out for sure in my opinion. Definate case of Cleveland restaurant syndrome at this location. Seriously can ANYONE in the Cleveland area get fresh fish on their menus? If someone has an insider tip on a reliable seafood place in this area please send me a message. (if it's Blue Point Grille don't bother)

Service was good. Atmosphere nice and relaxing (and no kids~this is for the adult appetite.) Coconut shrimp was a good start with warm bread. Waiter and restaurant manager were attentive. All that being said, my entree of sea bass w/ asian sauce, "whipped" garlic potatoes and garbanzo beans/spinach salad side was very disappointing!! Let me express strongly VERY!! Sea bass: Not sure what the issue was in the kitchen, but the first dish they brought out was the small portion. I had ordered the large. Round one back to the kitchen. Next, my waiter came back with the same plate and said they cooked the wrong portion and that if I accepted this plate they would bring me out a side plate with another small portion on it. What?? I just want what I ordered. Besides, the one they kept trying to give me looked overcooked and had now been transported back and forth to the kitchen twice. No thanks. I'll wait for my correct order and told my partner to enjoy her meal and go ahead and eat without me (which she did enjoy..salmon.) Round three, the manager now comes to the table, apologizes but still wants to bring me back the same plate with another small plate with additional fish on it, as the kitchen cooked the wrong thing. I stated "I don't want two plates of food. I just want what I ordered and am not sure what the issue is. By this time I would have thought they could have cooked the correct food! (10 minutes had passed) I'll wait for my correct order, thanks." My final plate finally arrives and it looks like the same overcooked piece of fish on my plate, along with another equally sized piece of fish next to it, all smothered in asian sauce. I said nothing and began to eat. As I suspected, the fish was overcooked and dry and tasted nothing like sea bass. And the sauce...so incredibly salty. I think they were trying to cover up the improperly cooked fish by burying it in sauce. Overall, it tasted like a piece of overcooked cod with a bottle off asian sauce poured on it. ZERO STARS. Garlic "Whipped" Potatoes: Should be called Garlic potato puree'. The texture and look was runny, nothing whipped about it. Taste...like I stuck a whole garlic clove in my mouth. ZERO STARS Garbanzo bean/spinach side: Garbanzo beans mushy and spinach drenched in oil. ZERO STARS The manager stopped by to check in and I expressed to her my disappointment. This was my first trip to Bonefish and haven't had sea bass in a very long time. I was really looking forward to this restaurant and meal. I described to her each item on the plate and how I felt it was improperly cooked/presented, etc. She offered to take the meal off of my bill. I suppose I should have let her, but that's not in my character...and I did eat 1/4-1/2 of it. A compromise...take off the glass of wine I had while waiting on any plate of food to show up. She kindly did so and apologized again. My final ask! Waiter, please bring me a piece of bread. I have got to get this fish and garlic taste out of my mouth. Cleveland and vicinity has all of these restaurants that should be great by nature. Celebrity Chef owners, acclaimed brand name restaurants and a diverse community. I am coming to realize that perhaps the issue isn't with the restaurants, but rather who's cooking in the kitchen. I can tell you Michael Symon isn't cooking my trout at Lola's, nor is Aaron Sanchez preparing my taco's at Zocalo. Had they been I would have enjoyed those meals, I'm sure. I recently moved to Cleveland from Chicago and perhaps there's a reason behind that that I just can't seem to satisfy my palate in Cleveland. Chicago for sure has AMAZING FOOD on every corner. I will, however, thank Hyde Park in Cleveland. You've given me the one meal I'm still thinking about and can't wait to go back for. Thank you!

I have been to at least 3 dozen Bonefish restaurants. This one left me unimpressed. Multiple items were "Sold Out" by mid-evening ( 8 P.M.) including the Bang Bang shrimp. Was also told that all the specials were "Sold Out." Service was not up to what I have come to expect from the Bonefish. Servers almost seemed annoyed to be there. The food was very good as always. No complaints there. I do recommend the Bonefish. Just not this location.

A group of 6 went to Bonefish Grill to eat dinner. The place was dark and we had to view the menu using a tiny head lamp. It was not fun reading the menu in the dark. Otherwise, it was a quiet place to have dinner. For appetizers, we ordered the Cajun Chicken Egg Roll, Crab Cakes, and Calamari. The egg rolls were decent as it had chicken, roasted corn, onions and peppers. The crab cakes came in two round patties. I didn't like how saucy the crab cakes were. It didn't taste like crab cakes. I didn't try the calamari. For the main entree, I wanted seafood since the restaurant is known for the fish. I ordered the sea bass w/ side of freshly steamed vegetables. Usually the veggies are cooked in butter. The fish was slightly overcooked for me. The pan-asian sauce was good over the fish. Three of us shared the creme brulee. It came in a huge dish and was more than enough to feed us. The creme brulee wasn't as light as I expected, so I just ate mostly the topping. Prices are expensive, but the service is good.

This was my first visit to Bonefish Grill (party of two). We visited early evening (Sunday) & there was no wait. There were quite a number of empty tables. I'm not big "seafood person," nevertheless we ordered the salmon & rainbow trout entrees. We really enjoyed our meals. I cannot rate whether seafood meals were reasonably priced as I don't frequent seafood restaurants that often. Here are a couple of issues: The inside of restaurant & restroom were too dark (need more lighting); its not that accessible to disabled individuals; we never received any bread to complement our meals, which Im sure is included in the price of the meal (as previously mentioned, this was our first time at this restaurant); the server just seemed to be there, well most of the time she was m.i.a., and had a disposition for not really being there to do a good to great job, at least not at our table for two; & for it to be a slow evening, our order took a while to arrive at our table --- more than 15 minutes and keep in mind, we did not order appetizers.

Last night was my first time visiting Bonefish. Me and my boyfriend met his mom there for dinner. We were told it would be about 15-20min (it was very busy) so we made our way to the bar My boyfriend and I just ordered waters and his mom got some wine. Within 10min our buzzard was going off and we were being walked to our booth. The booths are soooo nice and big LOVE THEM! Our waitress was very nice and joking around with us the only thing she forget to do was bring out the basket of bread in the begining........wish we simply reminded her and it was brought out. We ordered the bang bang shrimp for an appetizer...........OH MY GOSH im addicted.......amazing! It has a bit of a bite and I am not one for spicy/hot things, but I could handle this they were GREAT! His mom ordered some sort of clam chowder soup with crab meat in it and an order of the bang bang shirmp as her meal, my boyfriend ordered the bang bang shrimp tacos with au gratin potatoes, I ordred the Burger (I am just starting to experience with fish so I figured the bang bang shrimp would be enough seafood for me) My burger was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also got the garlic mashed potatoes.......out of this world. The bread and oil to dip it in were great as well. The place itself is very big, dim lighting. Like I said the booths are great, but as my boyfriend and his mom pointed out to me the tables are very tiny and very close together. All in all cant wait for round 2 of Bonefish!!!!!!! the only reason I said "not good for kids" is because I am not sure how many kids enjoy seafood, I know when I was younger all I wanted was mac and cheese, grilled cheese and p&j sandwiches!

The Bonefish Grill is an excellent upscale seafood chain with one Cleveland area location at Rockside Rd & 77. The space is relatively small, as it shares a building with Outback Steakhouse. There is a main dining room and a bar area with several tables. We sat in the bar area. The restaurant is pretty dimly lit, but it didn't really bug me (we also sat near the door on a rare sunny day). The staff is very friendly and professional. No complaints about them at all. For my entree, I had the mediterranean style salmon. It was excellent. It was salmon topped with feta cheese, pine nuts, green olives, and tomatoes and was on top of jasmine rice, which struck me as odd as this was a Mediterranean dish, not a Thai dish. It tasted great though. For dessert, I had the strawberry shortcake. It was also excellent. Overall, if you're looking for a great place to eat in the Independence area, check out the Bonefish Grill. It's a great place to eat.

This was my husband's and myself first time here. Im telling you now we shall return the wait wasnt bad at all. Now the food, first the bread I'm not a big bread eater but let's just say I kept ordering more. The food i had the Stuffed Tilapia with fresh season vegetables and a side of Truffle Macaroni and Cheese, my husband had the special which was the Salmon with Blue Cheese and Sauted Spinach Im once again not a salmon person I love seafood but not all,and his salmon looked so good. He enjoyed every bite. The price wasnt bad at all for the 2 of us , we walked out saying WE'LL BE BACK.

Excellent service! I have a dairy allergy & our waiter was very knowledgable about what I could eat safely. He even double checked with the chef to make sure he remembered correctly. The food was delicious! I highly recommend the ahi tuna. It was perfect!

my girlfriend loves Bonefish Grill. she loves seafood. I was never much of a fan of seafood. but i too, quite like Bonefish Grill. tonight was damned good. she had the salmon (again), this time with the pesto sauce and i decided on the ahi tuna steak w/ pan asian sauce. i hadn't had a tuna steak for a long time. i liked it then and hoped i'd like it this time. here's the thing, i just want more. yeah, you could say i liked it. i can't stop wishing i had more. this is going to be my new go-to. it was just so good. i have nothing bad to say about Bonefish Grill except that it's always packed like sardines.
The atmosphere is nice. Lobster , bang bang shrimp and sides were lovely. Enjoy this place plenty.

Well, with 0 Degrees and being directly next to my hotel, It is just convenient. Walked in, it was busy, but found a seat at the bar right in front of a TV (Winning!) that was streaming ESPN, so I was entertained from the get go. Bartender Chris was on point with my order and was very helpful as well. I'll upload a picture of my order. Love their Bang Bang Shrimp so went ahead and ordered, as well as the corn and crab soup, perfect for this weather. Food was great, service was amazing. Then again, I've never had any issues with Bonefish.

Staff deserves five stars but the silly revolving door is a menace to wheelchairs. Good fish and steak from a wood-fired oven. Too dark to read the menu- lots of people used the flashlight features on their iPhones to order. Very busy on a Friday night. Very busy.

I was really pumped up to be impressed... But no so much. It's like the menu had such potential, but execution was average. I was excited about the Blackberry Smash beverage, but once I got it it wasn't sweet enough or strong enough, it was like blackberries put in water. It was basically a watered-down version of a blackberry Izze, if there is such a thing. The Bang Bang shrimp had a glaze on them that gave them a somewhat pleasant texture but severely lacked flavor. Their broccoli was heavenly though.

Had dinner with family during a visit to Cleveland. Food was good and service excellent. Fast and courteous. Highly recommended.
Bonefish Grill is chain. It has become the destination of choice by people at my workplace for the Wednesday afternoon happy hour. They have loved their bang bang chicken so much and for so long that they refuse to go any place else. We had to change our plans once because we could not get the reservation. Ambiance is good. The corporations know how much light and music is good for the customers when they are drinking. The place is always full on Wednesdays, when I have visited here. The problem is overcrowding and narrow places between tables when moving around. Food is good for sure. But there are no vegetarian options. Their salads are not filling. I ordered the shrimp pasta without the shrimp both the times I have been there. First time, the waiter was a very nice and old gentleman who asked me for my preferences and delivered a very good dish. I enjoyed it a lot. The second time it was not the case. The waiter did not particularly respect my dietary preferences and just delivered pasta without the shrimp. I will be going there again with my coworkers because it is the place they like to go to. If it would be on me, I will go somewhere else.

I drive by Bonefish every single day on my way to school and up until last week had never given it a shot - partially because it is a bit pricey and somewhat because my wife is rarely willing to stomach seafood. Luckily for me, I got to try Bonefish on someone else's dime without any restrictions on price or type of food. Let me first say that I am an infrequent seafood eater but when I do take a fishy night on the town, I tend to go to more expensive places since fish is something that when it sucks, it sucks really bad. I also prefer the less "fishy" fish like salmon, tilapia, lobster, etc. Now that my disclaimer is out of the way, I left Bonefish feeling totally indifferent. The ambiance was okay. The food was okay. The service was okay. And the price was reasonable for what I got. Blown away? Absolutely not. But I left satisfied and satiated. My order consisted of the Salmon ($19 or so) with a Pan Asian sauce, Au Gratin Potatoes, and their seasonal veggies. I never ordered an appetizer because the bread and oil they gave ahead of the meal was sufficient (actually the oil and pesto were fantastic - best part of the meal). The salmon filet was a healthy size and was good overall. It was cooked well but the Pan Asian sauce seemed a little over-powering and took away from what would have been a well-prepared fish. The Au Gratin potatoes were actually extremely good and had the right texture and taste balance. The veggies were terrible - poorly cooked (slightly raw) and under-seasoned. One might ask why, with no price boundaries I would go for Salmon rather than the Chilean sea bass or Lobster tail. Well, first of all, because I'm not a douche. Secondly, I think Salmon is a staple that should be done right by any place that considers themselves a seafood restaurant. It's the measurement standard. That's why I chose it. Second visits are for deviation - at least that's how I justified my frugal choice afterward. Overall, I think seafood fans who prefer the safety of chain restaurants will be satisfied but not doing cartwheels. True fish-faces will probably cringe at what they served... but luckily, that isn't me. I'd be happy to go back on someone else's dollar.

My husband and I went in for New Year's Eve dinner. We usual only go on special occasions- NYE, anniversary etc. We made reservations for 6:45 but were running late, so I called and let them know. They were very accommodating even though we didn't make it until 7:05 and despite how busy they were, we were seated shortly after we arrived. The Bang Bang Shrimp was delicious (as usual). We each ordered the filet and lobster tail dinner. I asked for my steak to be medium-well, my husband asked for medium. His came out perfect and mine was extremely well done and very chewy. The waitress immediately noticed and took it back to get me another filet. We waited a little while, which was expected since they were so busy, but it came out great. The manager came to our table to apologized and took care of our bill. The service is always exceptional every time we go and we will continue to dine at Bonefish Grill for all of our special occasions. Thank you to the Management and staff for making our dining experience great!

I went to this establishment with a number of coworkers while in the area. The atmosphere was nice and there was adequate seating. My filet was excellently prepared! Our server, Morgan, was extremely friendly and provided great suggestions for appetizers. I would absolutely go back next time I'm in the area.

We went there Saturday at 7 (reservations are a good idea). Service was a little slow because they were slammed. We had the bang bang shrimp appetizer and loved it. The bread was very good. The "seasonal vegetable" was a garbanzo bean and kale creation that I didn't care for, but my wife liked. Our vegetables were broccoli for me and green beans for her, and they were prepared properly. My wife had the shrimp and scallops, and I had crab stuffed tilapia with gruyere cheese and capers. It was cooked perfectly, and tasted good. Our server Terry was very helpful and friendly, With adult beverages, our check came to $64. We will be back.

reservations for 6 at 3pm on a Sunday (today). Very disappointed that it was a lunch menu instead of dinner on a Sunday. Pretty limited. We had to ask to be waited on after ~10 min. of waiting. Server acted like we were putting her out. Not everyone's food came out at the same time. They forgot a side dish. The food was not good. Porkchop was very pink and the stuffed tilapia was tasteless. It was a problem when we asked for crayons for the 2 kids. I have been here twice before and it was very good and we were treated well. NEVER AGAIN! It has gone way down hill. Oh, and the large glass light above our table had a thick layer of dust on it. Wrote to Bonefish to share my poor service and food. They did not bother to respond so I guess they do not care. Goes right along with this locations food and service. Any company should care about their customers.

While it doesn't appear that most of the seafood served here is sustainable, the quality of food & service are pretty good. Good, hot bread started our meal. We enjoyed pompano served with crab, salmon (Atlantic--farmed, I presume), and crab cakes.

Yesterday was hands down the worst restaurant experience. I don't even know where to begin. First, we traveled and hour to get to bonefish...(we had been there before and it was pretty good) so, we had reservations for 6, and were seated. (At the same time as the couple next to us.. With the same server. The server asked if we had been here before, we said yes and be immediately moved the specials menu. As if we don't need to hear it because we have been there before? So, we order a flatbread pizza for an app, and a special of a sirloin and lobster stuff shrimp. An hour goes by... We wait... We ask... We're told it's coming right out. Then, a kitchen runner brings out our entree. So we decide to keep it( I dont want it sitting under a heat lamp until they make a new flatbread). So, I cut into the steak (which was ordered medium rare)... It was rarer than just rare. The inside was beet red and cold. I sent it back for a new one. So then, our waiter comes back and we tell him were just gonna pay for our pops and go. He insisted we stay, he said the meal would be compensated. He really really wanted us to stay and promised it would be resolved. We stayed. 5 minutes later the pizza came out and it was good! 2 minutes later our entree came out. I wish I took a picture of the before and after. What we got was the steak I sent back a half hour ago, ( that I has cut in two) re seared on the grill ( it also looked like it was rolled on the floor), and was still bloody red. And some cold green beans. We told the waiter were missing the lobster stuffed shrimp and potatoes. He brought out the potatoes (which were not the same thing on our original plate), and no shrimp. What we waited an hour and a half for was inedible. There were probably a host of serf safe rules violated.... That steak would have made anyone Ill. We promptly told him we we're leaving and didn't want any of the food. He asked if he could get us a dessert. I think we said yes because we were soooo hungry at that point. And it's an hour to get home. So, we get a piece of key lime to go... It took 20minutes. He came and tried to bill us for the pie. We left everything there and just left. I told him I don't know how we stayed as long as we did and he said "I can't believe you did too". The entire evening was wasted between the drive out to sitting and waiting. (Oh and the icing in the cake was that the couple next to is enjoyed all of there courses while we were waiting) we got to salivate over it (sorry !!!! We were really hungry). So we got home at 9 and had leftovers. :(

I had a business trip in Cleveland and decided to go here for dinner. When I first arrived I planned on sitting in the bar since I was a single person....no need to take up a table. But the bar was full. Upon walking up to the hostess I heard the man in front of me say he was a single table also. She asked him if he wanted to sit at the bar. He replied that it was full and she happily sat him. Upon her return I explained the same, that I also would have sat at the bar but there were not any seats available. She told me there would be a 15 minute wait. No problem, I said ok and took my pager. Not two minutes later a couple walked in and she sat them immediately. How rude. I understand you dont want one person at a six top table but where is the customer service. Im a paying customer also. The manager must have seen the dismay on my face, because he quickly came over to assist me and he also sat me. My service was great after that. I ordered the imperial tilapia and it was awesome. Potatoes were wonderful and fish was flaky. I had a great meal and despite how it started it definitely ended great.

Our group of four arrived at 4:30pm. The dining room was clear and empty from the host stand, but we were told there is a 25 minute wait because of booked reservations. Maybe sooner if there were some no shows. Really? The room was empty except for two tables and there is a wait? We were welcome to sit at the bar since it is first come seating. Great idea host, we had two small children with us. Way to go the extra mile for guests. That was my first and last time attempting to dine at the Bonefish grill.

The food is uniformly good, but not great. Prices are very reasonable and portions more than adequate. Tuesday is "Lobster Night" offering a nice selection. I had the lobster tail dinner, and while the portion of lobster was small, the $13.90 price included a salad and side. Service was excellent. In reading other reviews criticizing slowness and inattentiveness, I never never experienced this during any of my numerous visits.

Another good meal at Bonefish last night. Service continues to be excellent and food delicious and reasonably priced. All of these are a tribute to management, which hires personnel who seem to genuinely enjoy their jobs and help each other. If your server is presently unavailable, just contact another one who will take care of your needs.

I've been going to a Bonefish Grill for going on 8 years now and have NEVER been disappointed. I fell in love with mussels at the BFG in Grand Rapids Michigan, could NOT stop eating those things. How about two thumbs up for Bang Bang Wednesdays, damn shrimp are addicting, especially for $5. What I really like about BFG is their quality and selection. One of the only places that consistently, year long, serve Sea Bass, one of my favorite dishes. I also get the filet w/ gorgonzola quite often. Just the other day I went and got the Seafood Platter for 2 and was very happy with my meal. The Garlic mashers were a little too garlicky but I dealt with it all day and going into the next...lol. I do like their Caesar salads too. Pretty much a must try in my book. BFG has a great selection of wines and bottled beer. Their draft selection could use some expanding but I can put down a couple Coors Lights as much as I can a Bud Lights, so not a deal breaker. BFG is the big sister to Outback and the prices are really not that much higher for the kind of dining experience you get. Great place for dates, anniversaries, work functions, etc. So get your butt over there and wait for a table no matter how tempting Outback seems.

I was pleasantly surprised. For a chain, Bonefish has pretty good food--and healthy food, if that's what you're looking for. Let's put it this way: when given the choice between this restaurant, and the beefy, greasy Outback Steakhouse right next door, I'd always choose this place. They had good appetizers, which the table shared (we were with a group of six for a business-type dinner). We tried the calamari, coconut-crusted shrimp, and bacon-wrapped sea scallops. For entrees, there is quite a variety. For example, there's a portion of the menu in which you are given a selection of different grilled fish options, as well several choices of sauces (sort of reminds me of what they do with the pastas at some family-style Italian restaurants). I opted for tilapia with the warm mango salsa. I enjoyed it fine, but someone else at the table thought the fish was dry and bland. Dessert was ridiculous. The table shared two things and to be honest I can't remember what they were, but they were decadent and were topped with ice cream and fudge sauce. This is what most reminded me I was in a chain restaurant! Overall, not bad at all. I haven't been back since that one time, but I wouldn't be opposed to it.
Great food, great service. Only downfall, was half of the menu was not available. They ran out on the weekend. Hello we were there on a Tuesday. Again, isn't it called projecting???? Waitress said it happens all the time. What they did have available was delicious.

Good, maybe very good, but not great. Went there last friday night for dinner at near 7pm. Surprised to get a table with no wait. They have a nice drink selection... Craft beers, wines. Lots of choices of appetizers... We skipped those and opted for the house salad and crab topped trout for an entree. Excellent salad, warm, fresh very good bread, and the entree was amazing, as were the garlic mashed potatoes. Key lime pie was also incredible. I would have given them a 4th star were it not for the lack of organization between the many employees involvedmin serving me, it took forever to get water, then refills, and my second glass of wine seemed to take forever. We had to ask for bread when about 20 mi passed and we didnt receive. It also seemed like it was noones job to clear empty plates and glasses. If you have a nice restaurant, nice atmosphere, good food, you need to fix these issues if you expect a table of two people to drop over 100 in your restaurant. Else at some point i will give up on your place and goto macaroni grill, cheesecake factory, etc, and have entrees just as good, while saving $$.. (And getting awesome cheesecake) :)

Me and my husband went here for dinner for our anniversary and we were not impressed. The first time we went I loved it the mussels were amazing. The second time my mussels were so sweet that I couldn't even eat them or have the smell of them at my table. The manager was very nice and took them off our bill and explained they had used too much of one thing that is only supposed to be used to cut the flavor not add to it. I understood and was very grateful that he explained it and thought it was just a fluke. So then this time we tried it for the third time. I thought since last time was a fluke I would give the mussels one more try hoping they would be as good as the first time. Again they were awful I couldn't eat more than 5. I mentioned I did not like them to the gentleman that came to take them away since he was wondering why so few were eaten. Nothing was said. My husband asked for a burger plain. And it was not so we had to send it back. Not two minutes later they had a new burger for him which was not cooked thoroughly and was cold...? He had been drinking coke and was brought the wrong drink. Our waitress was very nice but seemed to be overwhelmed and had too much to do to actually pay attention to our attitudes and we went on a slow night. Over all we will not be going back and I am very disappointed that is has fallen so far in my opinion. I was really excited to have a new seafood restaurant in our area.

I've been to Bonefish a number of times, but never took the time to post a review. I've been to a number of locations in other cities, as well and never left disappointed. This time, I visited on a busy Friday evening after having received a $10 off coupon via email (always a plus!). I had a made a reservation thru the website, so I had no wait upon arrival. I ordered a glass of the pineapple wine (which was very good and a deal at $6). I placed my entree order and was presented with a fresh sliced ciabatta roll and seasoned olive oil for dipping (yum!). I has also ordered the house salad which I have always enjoyed, heart of palm, spring mix greens, sunflower seeds. My entree arrived a short time later, grilled shrimp & scallops (a little bit overdone, but still ok), with sides of green beans and crab fried rice. This is the first time that I had the rice and OMG, it was delicious. I've always enjoyed the key lime pie at Bonefish, so I ordered a slice to take home. The meal was great, especially with the $10 off coupon. I could hardly wait to get home to enjoy my dessert. Well, the dessert was not nearly as good as my meal. I was very disappointed, especially because I've had it many times before. The portion was small, and there as not the usual tangy lime taste. The filling was a bit waxy and flavorless. The crust was soggy and the entire dessert was completely covered (as if to disguise the small portion) in an unappetizing, off-tasting whipped cream substitute. I felt as though, I got the last piece that had been forgotten about, in the back of the fridge. If I had been served the same while in the restaurant, I would have definitely sent it back to the kitchen. I will definitely return to Bonefish, but would think twice about dessert.

Last night, we made reservations for Bonefish. Surprisingly, when we arrived, we were immediately seated. We walked past at least 20 people that were standing around waiting. Busy night! We were promptly seated and asked if we wanted bread with our drinks. Um, yes! The bread was warm and delicious. Then we ordered the scallop appetizer, which included four seared scallops wrapped in bacon. They seemed to be cooked correctly because they were not chewy at all and they tasted delicious. Loved them! I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass, wife ordered the special which was a white fish served in lobster sauce, garlic mash, and chickpea salad. My fish was specatular! I was longing for more because it was a small cut. It was cooked to perfection and was definitely the highlight of my dish. The side of cooked chickpeas was very tasty. Loved it and wanted more! I washed it down with two glasses of yummy red sangria. My wife said her fish tasted awesome and her serving was much larger than mine, even though we both ordered the 'regular' size. She washed hers down with some yummy Chardonnay. My daughter had fish n chips and she gobbled up every bit of it. She really liked it. My son had eaten previously, so he just had some fries, which he liked a lot. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Refills were on point and his demeanor was great. This place has really good food and service.

Pleasant fast service and extensive food selection. The meal I had was delicious, and the service was excellent. They even put our doggie bag items in s bag and hung them nicely on a hook so that we wouldn't forget to take them home For dessert they even have a flourless brownie!

Bonehead Grill. Hello Yelpers! Sorry its been so long. I have been busy. The 30 second version is this. I met a girl and fell in love. Fast forward 4 years and a wedding later, I now happily live in the suburbs and my wild days are gone. Between that and starting my own company about 3 years ago and life in suburbia, writing has fallen to the wayside. In addition, unless you want to discuss the finer points of furnace repair, I am not very interesting. I have become a cliche but a happy one. I am breaking radio silence to share my experience with these clowns. It's pretty straight forward, and the more I think about it, the more angry I get. Last Monday, my wife and her girlfriend came here for dinner. I was invited, but skipped out to get some business stuff done. She came home and we went to bed at our standard 10 pm (that's how cool we are). About 1 am, she is in real rough shape as her body decides to purge it entire contents. She only usually eats about half her meal, so there were leftovers to examine. Sure enough, the inside was raw. Not just pink but raw pork tenderloin. I do most of the cooking on the house, so she probably wouldn't notice how undercooked it was and she also commented the booth was pretty dark. She isn't one to complain, so I am doing it for her. Her stance is "I am never eating there again" and that the end of it for her. Then they made it worse. Instead of just going on yelp and typing this for all to see, I decided to give them a call, explain, and email them the pics of the raw pork they served my wife. It's been a week now, and no call or email back. Apparently food safety isn't a concern for them. You can see the picture yourself if you want. I uploaded it to their yelp page. As a business owner, I know things happen, and how you respond when those things happen is 90% of the battle. As a major safety issue, this incident should have not been brushed off by the management the way it was. End rant. So, If you are healthy, and feel the need to purge your body of fluids, Bonefish Grill may be a great choice. But if you are young or old, I wouldn't recommend it, as it could put you in the hospital.

We were in the mood for seafood and this place was close to where we were staying. We were seated quickly. Our server James was very attentive, bringing our drinks quickly and some warm ciabatta bread and olive oil to munch on while our food was prepared. Hubby had the wood grilled rainbow trout, and I had the bang bang shrimp tacos. We also each had salads to accompany our meals which were delicious. We will definitely try the one in our hometown!!
Another great Tuesday lobster night. I think I am getting hooked on the ahi tuna as well. We ate at the bar and the bartender couldn't have been sweeter. For dinner, we each ordered the lobster specials, as well as the ahi tuna. Perfect portions and a great way to spend a Tuesday night! Only one drawback: the butter served with the lobster isn't clarified, but for the price, who cares??

Cluster-Bleep. Ordered grilled salmon no butter or salt and broccoli steamed plain w/o butter or salt. Picked up my to go order. Couldn't have been more butter on the vegetables, was gross. Spilled onto salmon. Called and they said they would re do the order in 15 mins. Showed up in 15, waited another 15 mins (30 total). Said they would give me a gift card bc it was easier to refund it. Asked me to give him a minute to retrieve. Took 10 mins. My food was cold by the time I got back to hotel. Will never eat here again.
Bang, Bang Shrimp Tacos. That Is all......drops the mic. and walks away

Angelica M was our server and she was absolutely wonderful! Very attentive, informative and knowledgable about the menu. She was a fast service and made sure we had full drinks and bellies the entire time. The food was awesome and I would definitely suggest the Bang Bang Shrimp and the Winter White Cosmo. We had a great date night and will definitely be back and soon!

Run don't walk to a different restaurant. I travel to this area for work quite often and I've now tried Bonefish 4 times hoping it would get better. The service is really slow and disorganized. The food is typically flavorless and in 3 cases now it's either been undercooked or overcooked. Worst of all? Traveling after getting food poisoning from the food. This has happened twice now after eating at this Bonefish. I'm done, not trying it again, not risking my life for a chain restaurant with mediocre service and horrible food.

Went for lunch. Service was ok. Food was comically bland and short on portions. Waste of money and time. First and last time there.

I'm pretty sure with my visit to this Bonefish that I'm over my obsession. Thanks a lot. Went in and was seated in a booth that I requested and sat down. Service was very quick and the waitress was super knowledgeable and very friendly. That part was excellent. It was the food. WTH? Started off with the bang bang shrimp because, duh, delicious. Delivered awesomely fast, but as I started to eat it I thought that it tasted super bland. I thought it must have been an off day here. No. A waiter comes over and asks if I knew that it was chicken instead of shrimp. I told him I thought it tasted weird, but I was tired from working all day and navigating the crazy snow (man, snow is hard) after the blizzard that swept through. I was so hungry from not eating all day that I just wanted food. So, they bring me what I actually ordered, shrimp. They didn't even ask if I wanted it, if I wanted to just take it off my check. Nope, just plopped it down. I didn't eat all the chicken, but I really wanted the shrimp so I ate enough that I was sort of put off my meal by then. Anyway, I ordered off the specials menu because I saw asparagus and feta and it was a white fish (haddock) and it just sounded so good. It came out looking like a train wreck on top of mashed potatoes (which almost killed me with the salt content alone). It was covered in some crazy, fattening sauce that tasted like pure junk. Ugh. How artery clogging can you get? The asparagus was limp and ugly. Hated that. The fish was flaking, I THINK, but I can't confirm that because it was covered in heart attack. That had to be the worst thing I've ever eaten at a Bonefish. No, wait, almost anywhere. And, I had the glorious privilege of paying $20 for it. You'd have to give me $40 to get even anywhere near me accepting an apology for this disaster. (to their credit they did include a chickpea side dish that was really good) So, I'm over Bonefish. I can make my own dishes that won't gag me. Done.

The sea bass I had was rather bland. Seasonal steamed vegetables were served too big to eat without cutting, but required a steak knife to cut. There are plenty of great locally owned restaurants around that serve better food at the same or lower prices than Bonefish.

I LOVE their Sunday brunch items! Their brioche french toast is amazingly good. I really like their fish tacos also, the mango salsa in it makes it special. Their creme brulee might be one of the best I've had, I love the berries on it.

In Cleveland for the week on a business trip. Went to Bonefish the other night and was thoroughly impressed. Had two appetizers for dinner - started with the tuna tartare tacos (AMAZING) and followed up with the lamb chop lollipops, which were prepared and presented perfectly. Bar staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a high quality meal in a classy and clean environment.

We just left after waiting for over 15 minutes for them to take our order. We asked for the TV to be changed and that did not happen either. The service was really terrible. Never again.
Food was excellent .I ordered the bang bang shrimp tacos ,Delicious everyone at the table was happy with their food which is extremely rare ,my parents almost always have a complaint and so does my friend .The service was ok ,the waitress lacked in personality for sure I don't think she smiled once ..maybe it was just a bad day .
Went for happy hour with my folks. The drinks were delicious and the strawberry spinach salad was to die for!

My new number 1! Hubby took me here for my birthday and I absolutely loved it!!! We had 5pm reservations, but showed up early. They had us seated in seconds! The waitress was very informative and had wonderful suggestions. She never showed impatience with us at our slow decisions and when she discovered it was my birthday, she rummaged and found a candle to place on my dessert! I LOVE HER! The food was immaculate. I can't say enough great things about this place. All I can say is BANG-BANG Shrimp!!

I was surprisingly impressed with Bonefish Grill, which I didn't honestly expect to be (not usually a fan of chains). Side note for people with kids: Don't short change yourself, they are a moderately loud restaurant, so don't hesistate to bring the babies. And their children's meals look more like mini-adult meals (steamed broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, and snow peas were on my niece's plate!). Side note for people with gluten allergies: They have an ENTIRE menu that is for gluten-free folks with some solid offerings. My food-snob baby sister didn't feel relegated to the salad menu for once. It was awesome! Since I was out with my sister-in-law and sister, we decided to have some fun and ordered our meal in reverse. Desserts first! The chocolate creme brulee was good, but it was the flourless chocolate brownie that really knocked my socks off. The addition of the raspberry sauce was phenomenal and the macadamia nuts were a great touch. We ended up ordering appetizers/salads as both the entrees and the appetizers, so we'll go down the list: - Bang Bang Shrimp: I loved these, my dinner partners were not quite as excited. I thought the creamy/spicy sauce was divine. - Maryland Crabcakes: There was some SERIOUS crab meat in these things. They pretty much fell apart (which is A-OK with me) because there was too much meat and not enough binding ingredients. - Wagyu Beef & Ginger dumplings: ROCKED. These were fantastic. Little packets of beefy-spicy explosion. - Thai Coconut Shrimp: These were actually the hit of the table. I wish we had ordered two plates, because 6 shrimp between 3 people kinda sucked. The shrimp were crispy, the sauce was sweet and had a great kick to it. - Bacon wrapped scallops: These.....were a fail of grand proportions. I docked a star for it. My sister-in-law and I weren't quite sure what was wrong, but the sauce actually tasted moldy. Freaked me out, but the waiter promptly took them away and off the bill. - Beet Salad with Goat Cheese: I love beets. It's a sick sick addiction, and this salad totally rocked my socks. The goat cheese was creamy and delicious, the beets were perfectly cooked, and the dressing was lick-the-plate good.

Out in Cleveland for work, and I didn't want to go far from the hotel. I had been to another Bonefish and it hadn't been that memorable, but I had a good experience tonight. The Bang Bang Shrimp were pretty fire, and the burger was juicy and had good flavor. With a fresh salad you can't ask for much else. Had a couple craft beers but selection could be better.

So Good! We started with the bang bang shrimp and it was the perfect size for two people. I got the seabass based on the reviews and I am so happy that I did. I love fish already and for those of you who do not like fishy taste the seabass is for you. This tasted like a steak to me. I got the lemon butter sauce and used that on my fish as well as the asparagus and broccoli I received for my sides. The seasonal veggie was zuchinni and tomatoes; but I have a tomato allergy so I paid the extra for the asapargus. I am giving Bonefish 4 stars because our waitress was not very good. She disappeared for quite a while and took awhile to return our drinks and water.I will return.
First the food part: The fish was excellent. Husband had Tilapia, while I totally enjoyed the trout. I preferred the old menu to this newly released, more causal dining menu. The wine list is very fairly priced. Service was excellent. Now the bad: I called at 6:10pm asking to make a reservation for 6:30 or 7pm that night. I was told they do not take reservations for within an hour. Nor do they do call ahead wait listing. I asked "if we come within ten minutes, will there be a wait for a table for two?" I was told, "No, I don't think that will be problem." We arrived in less than ten minutes and were told that there was a 25-30 minute wait. I recognized her voice, and reminded her that I had just called. She blushed, shrugged her shoulders, and referred us to the bar. Where we paid for two glasses of wine, feeling like we had been screwed. There WERE empty tables in the restaurant. I would have gone elsewhere, but it was a long day of traveling and husband wanted to stay. But it left a very bad taste in our mouths about this particular BoneFish.

The food was spectacular... I ordered a mango sangria and it was way too sweet even though the waitress suggested it... we started with the bang bang shrimp. I got the rainbow trout with mango salsa, jasmine rice, and steamed broccoli... I was stuffed when I left. Now the waitress was not very good, but the manager LJ did come around and ask us how everything was, that and the fastness of the food really impressed me! Will be returning for sure!

Went out for a Friday night dinner with family, and made a reservation for a large group. Bonefish gives a 15 minute window and they like to have most of the party to be seated. We ordered up glasses of wine, during happy hour and ordered two appetizers. The Thai Coconut Shrimp had a crispy, sweet outside and dipped in a sauce, I was lucky to even get a bite, they went so fast! And the Saucy Shrimp, placed on our end of the table, so I had more of this. Shrimp bathed in a lime tomato garlic sauce and olives, it was a great marriage of flavor. The bread was fresh and warm, and that always is a hit with a large group of people. We ordered, and I kept hearing great things about this bang-bang shrimp, so I went with the tacos. Two soft shelled tacos, bang-bang spicy shrimp with lettuce and no sour cream. The tacos were creamy enough, and didn't need extra. I ordered a side salad and it was perfect., and not overly full. Our waitress was kind, and patient and made our dining experience very pleasant.

Start off with the bang bang shrimp or the crab cakes and see what you think. I usually proceed to the imperial longfin and leave very satisfied. For a commercial chain, all of the meals have been very consistent over numerous visits. I enjoy their food and will continue to be a patron!

Great food. I am a fan of bonefish, love the shrimp and the tuna. Both are on the appetizer menu. It's a little pricy but worth the money. It was very close to my hotel so it made it easy to get there and back. Stop by its a nice place for dinner Visited November 2011

Came here on a packed Saturday night with my mom and boyfriend. There was a 1/2 hour wait so we sat at the bar. They have some very pricey drink items (who doesn't).. but they also had $5 house specials. I started with a raspberry vodka drink and my mom had a lemonade concoction of some sort. Both were DELICIOUS. She practically chugged that thing, and if hers was half as strong as mine I'm certainly surprised she didn't fall off her bar stool. A manager also came around offering a sample of their calamari. I am a fried squid FREAK, and theirs is hands down the best I've ever had. It rests on a spicy-ish sauce and was crispy and fresh. It was our first time here so when we were seated our server, Terry happily explained the menu and answered all our questions. I had eaten shortly prior to our visit. I insisted that they order and Terry gave me plenty of time to finally decide on a bowl of corn & clam chowder. I didn't feel rushed at all with him. He had a very outgoing personality and kept us laughing and entertained throughout our meal. My mom said her scallops were the best she's ever had and they practically melted in her mouth. Boyfriend had steak and was very impressed that a seafood joint could cook such a great hunk of cow. Highly recommended restaurant. Pretty pricey, but worth it! Ask for Terry if you go!

My absolute favorite chain restaurant ever!!! Im not much of a fish fan (only salmon) but they have plenty else to keep me happy! Lilys chicken, lilys salmon, steak mmmm soooo good! I also get the saucy shrimp as an app, greek inspired. And of course can't forget the pomegranate martini!!! Reasonably priced though the servers can be snobby at times.

Was in Ohio and business and needed to grab dinner after flying in as my hotel didn't have room service (Grr). 4 colleagues and I went to Bonefish which was right by the hotel and had a wonderful meal. We were there @ 8:30 pm and there were only a few other occupied tables. The menu has a nice selection of meats to choose from, with multiple preparation/presentation styles. I loved this. They also have a nice list of sides to choose from, so you can build your meal as you want it! Disclaimer: This is not a place for vegetarians - I didn't notice any veggie entree options. I got the salmon with lemon butter sauce on the side, with steamed veggies and a garbanzo bean/spinach salad side dish. It was all delicious. My colleagues got other fish dishes and seemed pleased as well (ahi/mahi mahi). Service was friendly. Parking was a snap. We didn't have to wait too long to be served, and were out of there by 10 (party of 5 took about 90 minutes from start to finish). Next time I'm back in town I will likely go here again simply because it's a great meal right by the hotel.

Run don't walk! I was honestly impressed with the quality of food. Coming from Los Angeles has been difficult for me to find places to eat that are incredible. Well this one fits the bill. When I have visitors come to town this place will be first on my list to share with others! Everything was great, we went on a Wed night so there was no wait. All food had great flavor and spiced adequantly. Yummy in my tummy:-)

Love this place. It's great to see a chain achieve success while still managing to keep the prices reasonable. We've been to three different Bonefish's, and they have been remarkably consistent, especially for the level of quality. You have to try the Bang Bang Shrimp.

LuckieMaounds P.
Kenny A. and I might share the same brain... I'm from the west coast and I had never heard of Bonefish Grill, so I had no idea it is a chain. When we walked in, the decor and ambience easily gives you the look and feel of a much higher-end restaurant. I loved everything I had: the bread, the crab and corn chowder, the Imperial longfin with the amazing crab and shrimp stuffing. I don't remember what my sides were. For dessert I ordered a lemon drop martini. Service was great. I would go back in a second, even though the Newcastle came in a bottle.

The five stars are for the manager who let us in at 10:00 pm Sunday night as they were closing. We just arrived from the airport and were desperate to eat. Our server was fabulous too. It never concerned her that she had to serve new customers when she was probably getting ready to go home! The food was good too. I had the fish and chips, and although I was surprised it was Tilapia, it was quite tasty.

Delicious! My husband and I went on a short trip, staying in a nearby hotel. We ate here and were very happy with our decision! I had the shrimp and scallops and my husband had the sirloin with the crab cake. Both were wonderful and the service was great.

I really like this place! I used to think it was stuffy and not welcoming but I have found that not to be the case. Great atmosphere, especially for happy hour after a long day. Sit at the bar and relax. You MUST have their Bang Bang shrimp. It is one of the best things I've eaten. Service could be a tad quicker but I'm always entertained so it doesn't bother me. You will enjoy"

We were skeptical when we decided to try out this place because we had never heard about it and someone told us it had only been open for a little over a year (it was only after our visit that I found out it was actually a chain). Turned out my skepticism was unwarranted as our dinner there easily exceeded expectations. Appetizers started with a soft sourdough with olve oil and basil (?). I decided to try the lump crab corn chowder, which was excellent on its own and even better using as a dip for the bread. My entree was the longfin stuffed with shrimp, scallops, and more lump crab, doused with a delicious cream sauce. I'm salivating just remembering it, and it went very well with my sides, asparagus and potatoes al gratin. If I could criticize anything, the fish itself (tilapia) was a little on the bland side, but with everything put together it was hardly noticeable. After the bread and soup, I could hardly finish the large fish entree, although I tried my best because I didn't want to waste. The ambiance was nice... dark like most restaurants try to be to give you the "upscale" experience, but because the tables are so close to each other it hardly feels as private as the lighting would suggest. Service was quick and to the point. Just a party of two, we were in and out of there in less than an hour. I'm not sure when or if I'll ever get a chance to visit Cleveland again but now that I know Bonefish is a chain I will definitely keep my eye out...

I'm a Bonefish fan nationally speaking BUT this particular location is all about serving you Red Lobster quality food at double the cost. I took my girlfriend here initially on a busy night. Huge mistake. The place is right across from a very busy Holiday Inn so they are slammed on certain weekend nights. Her mahi mahi was grossly overcooked and the taste was the farthest from "fresh fish" you could imagine. My fish was grossly undercooked. We got a good laugh out of that. They ended up comping our bill but it still ruined our night as it was really too late to go elsewhere. I'm a big seafood fan and I've beeen to better bonefishes in other cities so I decided to chalk it up to business and give it one more try on a slow night. I got scallops and she got mahi mahi again. They were both cooked "ok" this time maybe a little on the overdone side for her fish. Both items didn't taste very fresh certainly not something I'd expect from any other location. 2 strikes and your out for sure in my opinion. Definate case of Cleveland restaurant syndrome at this location. Seriously can ANYONE in the Cleveland area get fresh fish on their menus? If someone has an insider tip on a reliable seafood place in this area please send me a message. (if it's Blue Point Grille don't bother)

Service was good. Atmosphere nice and relaxing (and no kids~this is for the adult appetite.) Coconut shrimp was a good start with warm bread. Waiter and restaurant manager were attentive. All that being said, my entree of sea bass w/ asian sauce, "whipped" garlic potatoes and garbanzo beans/spinach salad side was very disappointing!! Let me express strongly VERY!! Sea bass: Not sure what the issue was in the kitchen, but the first dish they brought out was the small portion. I had ordered the large. Round one back to the kitchen. Next, my waiter came back with the same plate and said they cooked the wrong portion and that if I accepted this plate they would bring me out a side plate with another small portion on it. What?? I just want what I ordered. Besides, the one they kept trying to give me looked overcooked and had now been transported back and forth to the kitchen twice. No thanks. I'll wait for my correct order and told my partner to enjoy her meal and go ahead and eat without me (which she did enjoy..salmon.) Round three, the manager now comes to the table, apologizes but still wants to bring me back the same plate with another small plate with additional fish on it, as the kitchen cooked the wrong thing. I stated "I don't want two plates of food. I just want what I ordered and am not sure what the issue is. By this time I would have thought they could have cooked the correct food! (10 minutes had passed) I'll wait for my correct order, thanks." My final plate finally arrives and it looks like the same overcooked piece of fish on my plate, along with another equally sized piece of fish next to it, all smothered in asian sauce. I said nothing and began to eat. As I suspected, the fish was overcooked and dry and tasted nothing like sea bass. And the sauce...so incredibly salty. I think they were trying to cover up the improperly cooked fish by burying it in sauce. Overall, it tasted like a piece of overcooked cod with a bottle off asian sauce poured on it. ZERO STARS. Garlic "Whipped" Potatoes: Should be called Garlic potato puree'. The texture and look was runny, nothing whipped about it. Taste...like I stuck a whole garlic clove in my mouth. ZERO STARS Garbanzo bean/spinach side: Garbanzo beans mushy and spinach drenched in oil. ZERO STARS The manager stopped by to check in and I expressed to her my disappointment. This was my first trip to Bonefish and haven't had sea bass in a very long time. I was really looking forward to this restaurant and meal. I described to her each item on the plate and how I felt it was improperly cooked/presented, etc. She offered to take the meal off of my bill. I suppose I should have let her, but that's not in my character...and I did eat 1/4-1/2 of it. A compromise...take off the glass of wine I had while waiting on any plate of food to show up. She kindly did so and apologized again. My final ask! Waiter, please bring me a piece of bread. I have got to get this fish and garlic taste out of my mouth. Cleveland and vicinity has all of these restaurants that should be great by nature. Celebrity Chef owners, acclaimed brand name restaurants and a diverse community. I am coming to realize that perhaps the issue isn't with the restaurants, but rather who's cooking in the kitchen. I can tell you Michael Symon isn't cooking my trout at Lola's, nor is Aaron Sanchez preparing my taco's at Zocalo. Had they been I would have enjoyed those meals, I'm sure. I recently moved to Cleveland from Chicago and perhaps there's a reason behind that that I just can't seem to satisfy my palate in Cleveland. Chicago for sure has AMAZING FOOD on every corner. I will, however, thank Hyde Park in Cleveland. You've given me the one meal I'm still thinking about and can't wait to go back for. Thank you!

I have been to at least 3 dozen Bonefish restaurants. This one left me unimpressed. Multiple items were "Sold Out" by mid-evening ( 8 P.M.) including the Bang Bang shrimp. Was also told that all the specials were "Sold Out." Service was not up to what I have come to expect from the Bonefish. Servers almost seemed annoyed to be there. The food was very good as always. No complaints there. I do recommend the Bonefish. Just not this location.

A group of 6 went to Bonefish Grill to eat dinner. The place was dark and we had to view the menu using a tiny head lamp. It was not fun reading the menu in the dark. Otherwise, it was a quiet place to have dinner. For appetizers, we ordered the Cajun Chicken Egg Roll, Crab Cakes, and Calamari. The egg rolls were decent as it had chicken, roasted corn, onions and peppers. The crab cakes came in two round patties. I didn't like how saucy the crab cakes were. It didn't taste like crab cakes. I didn't try the calamari. For the main entree, I wanted seafood since the restaurant is known for the fish. I ordered the sea bass w/ side of freshly steamed vegetables. Usually the veggies are cooked in butter. The fish was slightly overcooked for me. The pan-asian sauce was good over the fish. Three of us shared the creme brulee. It came in a huge dish and was more than enough to feed us. The creme brulee wasn't as light as I expected, so I just ate mostly the topping. Prices are expensive, but the service is good.

This was my first visit to Bonefish Grill (party of two). We visited early evening (Sunday) & there was no wait. There were quite a number of empty tables. I'm not big "seafood person," nevertheless we ordered the salmon & rainbow trout entrees. We really enjoyed our meals. I cannot rate whether seafood meals were reasonably priced as I don't frequent seafood restaurants that often. Here are a couple of issues: The inside of restaurant & restroom were too dark (need more lighting); its not that accessible to disabled individuals; we never received any bread to complement our meals, which Im sure is included in the price of the meal (as previously mentioned, this was our first time at this restaurant); the server just seemed to be there, well most of the time she was m.i.a., and had a disposition for not really being there to do a good to great job, at least not at our table for two; & for it to be a slow evening, our order took a while to arrive at our table --- more than 15 minutes and keep in mind, we did not order appetizers.

Love Bonefish! Gotta try the Bang Bang Shrimp. Yummy.

Last night was my first time visiting Bonefish. Me and my boyfriend met his mom there for dinner. We were told it would be about 15-20min (it was very busy) so we made our way to the bar My boyfriend and I just ordered waters and his mom got some wine. Within 10min our buzzard was going off and we were being walked to our booth. The booths are soooo nice and big LOVE THEM! Our waitress was very nice and joking around with us the only thing she forget to do was bring out the basket of bread in the begining........wish we simply reminded her and it was brought out. We ordered the bang bang shrimp for an appetizer...........OH MY GOSH im addicted.......amazing! It has a bit of a bite and I am not one for spicy/hot things, but I could handle this they were GREAT! His mom ordered some sort of clam chowder soup with crab meat in it and an order of the bang bang shirmp as her meal, my boyfriend ordered the bang bang shrimp tacos with au gratin potatoes, I ordred the Burger (I am just starting to experience with fish so I figured the bang bang shrimp would be enough seafood for me) My burger was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also got the garlic mashed potatoes.......out of this world. The bread and oil to dip it in were great as well. The place itself is very big, dim lighting. Like I said the booths are great, but as my boyfriend and his mom pointed out to me the tables are very tiny and very close together. All in all cant wait for round 2 of Bonefish!!!!!!! the only reason I said "not good for kids" is because I am not sure how many kids enjoy seafood, I know when I was younger all I wanted was mac and cheese, grilled cheese and p&j sandwiches!

The Bonefish Grill is an excellent upscale seafood chain with one Cleveland area location at Rockside Rd & 77. The space is relatively small, as it shares a building with Outback Steakhouse. There is a main dining room and a bar area with several tables. We sat in the bar area. The restaurant is pretty dimly lit, but it didn't really bug me (we also sat near the door on a rare sunny day). The staff is very friendly and professional. No complaints about them at all. For my entree, I had the mediterranean style salmon. It was excellent. It was salmon topped with feta cheese, pine nuts, green olives, and tomatoes and was on top of jasmine rice, which struck me as odd as this was a Mediterranean dish, not a Thai dish. It tasted great though. For dessert, I had the strawberry shortcake. It was also excellent. Overall, if you're looking for a great place to eat in the Independence area, check out the Bonefish Grill. It's a great place to eat.

This was my husband's and myself first time here. Im telling you now we shall return the wait wasnt bad at all. Now the food, first the bread I'm not a big bread eater but let's just say I kept ordering more. The food i had the Stuffed Tilapia with fresh season vegetables and a side of Truffle Macaroni and Cheese, my husband had the special which was the Salmon with Blue Cheese and Sauted Spinach Im once again not a salmon person I love seafood but not all,and his salmon looked so good. He enjoyed every bite. The price wasnt bad at all for the 2 of us , we walked out saying WE'LL BE BACK.

Excellent service! I have a dairy allergy & our waiter was very knowledgable about what I could eat safely. He even double checked with the chef to make sure he remembered correctly. The food was delicious! I highly recommend the ahi tuna. It was perfect!
(5)Rick W.
my girlfriend loves Bonefish Grill. she loves seafood. I was never much of a fan of seafood. but i too, quite like Bonefish Grill. tonight was damned good. she had the salmon (again), this time with the pesto sauce and i decided on the ahi tuna steak w/ pan asian sauce. i hadn't had a tuna steak for a long time. i liked it then and hoped i'd like it this time. here's the thing, i just want more. yeah, you could say i liked it. i can't stop wishing i had more. this is going to be my new go-to. it was just so good. i have nothing bad to say about Bonefish Grill except that it's always packed like sardines.

I came here with two colleagues on a Monday night. I'm not sure if they were understaffed that night or just a lot busier than they usually are, but it took a really long time for our waitress to come over and take our order. We ordered drinks to start off and didn't receive them for about 15 minutes. By the time we ordered we decided to skip having any appetizers because things were moving so slowly. It was nice that they brought out warm bread and pesto to hold us over until our meals arrived! I ordered the large portion of salmon with the seasonal vegetable (snap peas) and really enjoyed the entrée. My colleagues ordered the Chilean sea bass with jasmine rice and the filet with garlic mashed potatoes. Besides the garlic mashed potatoes, we all liked our meals. I would give the food 4 stars but the service 2 stars, so I decided on a 3 star review to balance the two out.
(3)Sharon K.
The atmosphere is nice. Lobster , bang bang shrimp and sides were lovely. Enjoy this place plenty.
(5)Mauricio A.
Well, with 0 Degrees and being directly next to my hotel, It is just convenient. Walked in, it was busy, but found a seat at the bar right in front of a TV (Winning!) that was streaming ESPN, so I was entertained from the get go. Bartender Chris was on point with my order and was very helpful as well. I'll upload a picture of my order. Love their Bang Bang Shrimp so went ahead and ordered, as well as the corn and crab soup, perfect for this weather. Food was great, service was amazing. Then again, I've never had any issues with Bonefish.
(4)Bradley W.
Staff deserves five stars but the silly revolving door is a menace to wheelchairs. Good fish and steak from a wood-fired oven. Too dark to read the menu- lots of people used the flashlight features on their iPhones to order. Very busy on a Friday night. Very busy.
(3)D'suni U.
I was really pumped up to be impressed... But no so much. It's like the menu had such potential, but execution was average. I was excited about the Blackberry Smash beverage, but once I got it it wasn't sweet enough or strong enough, it was like blackberries put in water. It was basically a watered-down version of a blackberry Izze, if there is such a thing. The Bang Bang shrimp had a glaze on them that gave them a somewhat pleasant texture but severely lacked flavor. Their broccoli was heavenly though.
(3)Jamie S.
Had dinner with family during a visit to Cleveland. Food was good and service excellent. Fast and courteous. Highly recommended.
(4)Autumn B.
I went here with my fiancé for a nice meal with some gift cards, not expecting too much from a chain. I was surprised. He ordered the swordfish and I the Chilean sea bass. The sea bass was to die for: flaky, layers upon layers of flavor, and so succulent. The waiter recommended the pesto sauce and it was perfectly complimentary. So good! The swordfish, unfortunately, was just a little too cooked, but our sides were perfect and the calamari app is addictive! I can also recommend their house margarita for a hot summer night.

Bonefish Grill is chain. It has become the destination of choice by people at my workplace for the Wednesday afternoon happy hour. They have loved their bang bang chicken so much and for so long that they refuse to go any place else. We had to change our plans once because we could not get the reservation. Ambiance is good. The corporations know how much light and music is good for the customers when they are drinking. The place is always full on Wednesdays, when I have visited here. The problem is overcrowding and narrow places between tables when moving around. Food is good for sure. But there are no vegetarian options. Their salads are not filling. I ordered the shrimp pasta without the shrimp both the times I have been there. First time, the waiter was a very nice and old gentleman who asked me for my preferences and delivered a very good dish. I enjoyed it a lot. The second time it was not the case. The waiter did not particularly respect my dietary preferences and just delivered pasta without the shrimp. I will be going there again with my coworkers because it is the place they like to go to. If it would be on me, I will go somewhere else.

I drive by Bonefish every single day on my way to school and up until last week had never given it a shot - partially because it is a bit pricey and somewhat because my wife is rarely willing to stomach seafood. Luckily for me, I got to try Bonefish on someone else's dime without any restrictions on price or type of food. Let me first say that I am an infrequent seafood eater but when I do take a fishy night on the town, I tend to go to more expensive places since fish is something that when it sucks, it sucks really bad. I also prefer the less "fishy" fish like salmon, tilapia, lobster, etc. Now that my disclaimer is out of the way, I left Bonefish feeling totally indifferent. The ambiance was okay. The food was okay. The service was okay. And the price was reasonable for what I got. Blown away? Absolutely not. But I left satisfied and satiated. My order consisted of the Salmon ($19 or so) with a Pan Asian sauce, Au Gratin Potatoes, and their seasonal veggies. I never ordered an appetizer because the bread and oil they gave ahead of the meal was sufficient (actually the oil and pesto were fantastic - best part of the meal). The salmon filet was a healthy size and was good overall. It was cooked well but the Pan Asian sauce seemed a little over-powering and took away from what would have been a well-prepared fish. The Au Gratin potatoes were actually extremely good and had the right texture and taste balance. The veggies were terrible - poorly cooked (slightly raw) and under-seasoned. One might ask why, with no price boundaries I would go for Salmon rather than the Chilean sea bass or Lobster tail. Well, first of all, because I'm not a douche. Secondly, I think Salmon is a staple that should be done right by any place that considers themselves a seafood restaurant. It's the measurement standard. That's why I chose it. Second visits are for deviation - at least that's how I justified my frugal choice afterward. Overall, I think seafood fans who prefer the safety of chain restaurants will be satisfied but not doing cartwheels. True fish-faces will probably cringe at what they served... but luckily, that isn't me. I'd be happy to go back on someone else's dollar.

My husband and I went in for New Year's Eve dinner. We usual only go on special occasions- NYE, anniversary etc. We made reservations for 6:45 but were running late, so I called and let them know. They were very accommodating even though we didn't make it until 7:05 and despite how busy they were, we were seated shortly after we arrived. The Bang Bang Shrimp was delicious (as usual). We each ordered the filet and lobster tail dinner. I asked for my steak to be medium-well, my husband asked for medium. His came out perfect and mine was extremely well done and very chewy. The waitress immediately noticed and took it back to get me another filet. We waited a little while, which was expected since they were so busy, but it came out great. The manager came to our table to apologized and took care of our bill. The service is always exceptional every time we go and we will continue to dine at Bonefish Grill for all of our special occasions. Thank you to the Management and staff for making our dining experience great!
(5)Jeffrey C.
I went to this establishment with a number of coworkers while in the area. The atmosphere was nice and there was adequate seating. My filet was excellently prepared! Our server, Morgan, was extremely friendly and provided great suggestions for appetizers. I would absolutely go back next time I'm in the area.
(4)Scott S.
Very crowded restaurant! Food was not too bad the service was horrible. They were not attentive at all
(2)Ron K.
We went there Saturday at 7 (reservations are a good idea). Service was a little slow because they were slammed. We had the bang bang shrimp appetizer and loved it. The bread was very good. The "seasonal vegetable" was a garbanzo bean and kale creation that I didn't care for, but my wife liked. Our vegetables were broccoli for me and green beans for her, and they were prepared properly. My wife had the shrimp and scallops, and I had crab stuffed tilapia with gruyere cheese and capers. It was cooked perfectly, and tasted good. Our server Terry was very helpful and friendly, With adult beverages, our check came to $64. We will be back.
(4)B W.
reservations for 6 at 3pm on a Sunday (today). Very disappointed that it was a lunch menu instead of dinner on a Sunday. Pretty limited. We had to ask to be waited on after ~10 min. of waiting. Server acted like we were putting her out. Not everyone's food came out at the same time. They forgot a side dish. The food was not good. Porkchop was very pink and the stuffed tilapia was tasteless. It was a problem when we asked for crayons for the 2 kids. I have been here twice before and it was very good and we were treated well. NEVER AGAIN! It has gone way down hill. Oh, and the large glass light above our table had a thick layer of dust on it. Wrote to Bonefish to share my poor service and food. They did not bother to respond so I guess they do not care. Goes right along with this locations food and service. Any company should care about their customers.
(1)J R.
While it doesn't appear that most of the seafood served here is sustainable, the quality of food & service are pretty good. Good, hot bread started our meal. We enjoyed pompano served with crab, salmon (Atlantic--farmed, I presume), and crab cakes.

Yesterday was hands down the worst restaurant experience. I don't even know where to begin. First, we traveled and hour to get to bonefish...(we had been there before and it was pretty good) so, we had reservations for 6, and were seated. (At the same time as the couple next to us.. With the same server. The server asked if we had been here before, we said yes and be immediately moved the specials menu. As if we don't need to hear it because we have been there before? So, we order a flatbread pizza for an app, and a special of a sirloin and lobster stuff shrimp. An hour goes by... We wait... We ask... We're told it's coming right out. Then, a kitchen runner brings out our entree. So we decide to keep it( I dont want it sitting under a heat lamp until they make a new flatbread). So, I cut into the steak (which was ordered medium rare)... It was rarer than just rare. The inside was beet red and cold. I sent it back for a new one. So then, our waiter comes back and we tell him were just gonna pay for our pops and go. He insisted we stay, he said the meal would be compensated. He really really wanted us to stay and promised it would be resolved. We stayed. 5 minutes later the pizza came out and it was good! 2 minutes later our entree came out. I wish I took a picture of the before and after. What we got was the steak I sent back a half hour ago, ( that I has cut in two) re seared on the grill ( it also looked like it was rolled on the floor), and was still bloody red. And some cold green beans. We told the waiter were missing the lobster stuffed shrimp and potatoes. He brought out the potatoes (which were not the same thing on our original plate), and no shrimp. What we waited an hour and a half for was inedible. There were probably a host of serf safe rules violated.... That steak would have made anyone Ill. We promptly told him we we're leaving and didn't want any of the food. He asked if he could get us a dessert. I think we said yes because we were soooo hungry at that point. And it's an hour to get home. So, we get a piece of key lime to go... It took 20minutes. He came and tried to bill us for the pie. We left everything there and just left. I told him I don't know how we stayed as long as we did and he said "I can't believe you did too". The entire evening was wasted between the drive out to sitting and waiting. (Oh and the icing in the cake was that the couple next to is enjoyed all of there courses while we were waiting) we got to salivate over it (sorry !!!! We were really hungry). So we got home at 9 and had leftovers. :(

I had a business trip in Cleveland and decided to go here for dinner. When I first arrived I planned on sitting in the bar since I was a single person....no need to take up a table. But the bar was full. Upon walking up to the hostess I heard the man in front of me say he was a single table also. She asked him if he wanted to sit at the bar. He replied that it was full and she happily sat him. Upon her return I explained the same, that I also would have sat at the bar but there were not any seats available. She told me there would be a 15 minute wait. No problem, I said ok and took my pager. Not two minutes later a couple walked in and she sat them immediately. How rude. I understand you dont want one person at a six top table but where is the customer service. Im a paying customer also. The manager must have seen the dismay on my face, because he quickly came over to assist me and he also sat me. My service was great after that. I ordered the imperial tilapia and it was awesome. Potatoes were wonderful and fish was flaky. I had a great meal and despite how it started it definitely ended great.

Our group of four arrived at 4:30pm. The dining room was clear and empty from the host stand, but we were told there is a 25 minute wait because of booked reservations. Maybe sooner if there were some no shows. Really? The room was empty except for two tables and there is a wait? We were welcome to sit at the bar since it is first come seating. Great idea host, we had two small children with us. Way to go the extra mile for guests. That was my first and last time attempting to dine at the Bonefish grill.

The food is uniformly good, but not great. Prices are very reasonable and portions more than adequate. Tuesday is "Lobster Night" offering a nice selection. I had the lobster tail dinner, and while the portion of lobster was small, the $13.90 price included a salad and side. Service was excellent. In reading other reviews criticizing slowness and inattentiveness, I never never experienced this during any of my numerous visits.
(4)Mitch S.
The service was awful! A "drop and run" mentality of service. The food was mediocre. I expected far more from this establishment. I won't return.
(1)Robert B.
Another good meal at Bonefish last night. Service continues to be excellent and food delicious and reasonably priced. All of these are a tribute to management, which hires personnel who seem to genuinely enjoy their jobs and help each other. If your server is presently unavailable, just contact another one who will take care of your needs.

Crab crusted pompano. Delicious!!

I've been going to a Bonefish Grill for going on 8 years now and have NEVER been disappointed. I fell in love with mussels at the BFG in Grand Rapids Michigan, could NOT stop eating those things. How about two thumbs up for Bang Bang Wednesdays, damn shrimp are addicting, especially for $5. What I really like about BFG is their quality and selection. One of the only places that consistently, year long, serve Sea Bass, one of my favorite dishes. I also get the filet w/ gorgonzola quite often. Just the other day I went and got the Seafood Platter for 2 and was very happy with my meal. The Garlic mashers were a little too garlicky but I dealt with it all day and going into the next...lol. I do like their Caesar salads too. Pretty much a must try in my book. BFG has a great selection of wines and bottled beer. Their draft selection could use some expanding but I can put down a couple Coors Lights as much as I can a Bud Lights, so not a deal breaker. BFG is the big sister to Outback and the prices are really not that much higher for the kind of dining experience you get. Great place for dates, anniversaries, work functions, etc. So get your butt over there and wait for a table no matter how tempting Outback seems.

Had a group of 8 who were part of the Warthog group staying at the Holiday Inn next door. The greeter wasn't too thrilled with the group. Our waiter was attentive and took very good care of the group. Loved the Bang Bang shrimp!
(4)Rachel B.
I was pleasantly surprised. For a chain, Bonefish has pretty good food--and healthy food, if that's what you're looking for. Let's put it this way: when given the choice between this restaurant, and the beefy, greasy Outback Steakhouse right next door, I'd always choose this place. They had good appetizers, which the table shared (we were with a group of six for a business-type dinner). We tried the calamari, coconut-crusted shrimp, and bacon-wrapped sea scallops. For entrees, there is quite a variety. For example, there's a portion of the menu in which you are given a selection of different grilled fish options, as well several choices of sauces (sort of reminds me of what they do with the pastas at some family-style Italian restaurants). I opted for tilapia with the warm mango salsa. I enjoyed it fine, but someone else at the table thought the fish was dry and bland. Dessert was ridiculous. The table shared two things and to be honest I can't remember what they were, but they were decadent and were topped with ice cream and fudge sauce. This is what most reminded me I was in a chain restaurant! Overall, not bad at all. I haven't been back since that one time, but I wouldn't be opposed to it.
(3)Darren S.
I have had to travel to Cleveland twice in the last month on business. I had the chance to experience this restaurant each visit and the service was fantastic. I am a seafood fanatic and every dish from the appetizer, to the entrée over exceeded my expectations. Come to find out, there is a location in Cali just 20 miles away from me. The waiting staff Kevin and Mary were great.
(4)Sue M.
Great food, great service. Only downfall, was half of the menu was not available. They ran out on the weekend. Hello we were there on a Tuesday. Again, isn't it called projecting???? Waitress said it happens all the time. What they did have available was delicious.
(4)Scott B.
Sat at the bar, bartenders are top notch and hustling quick (especially Chris!). Great service and food all around!
(5)Rich L.
Good, maybe very good, but not great. Went there last friday night for dinner at near 7pm. Surprised to get a table with no wait. They have a nice drink selection... Craft beers, wines. Lots of choices of appetizers... We skipped those and opted for the house salad and crab topped trout for an entree. Excellent salad, warm, fresh very good bread, and the entree was amazing, as were the garlic mashed potatoes. Key lime pie was also incredible. I would have given them a 4th star were it not for the lack of organization between the many employees involvedmin serving me, it took forever to get water, then refills, and my second glass of wine seemed to take forever. We had to ask for bread when about 20 mi passed and we didnt receive. It also seemed like it was noones job to clear empty plates and glasses. If you have a nice restaurant, nice atmosphere, good food, you need to fix these issues if you expect a table of two people to drop over 100 in your restaurant. Else at some point i will give up on your place and goto macaroni grill, cheesecake factory, etc, and have entrees just as good, while saving $$.. (And getting awesome cheesecake) :)

Me and my husband went here for dinner for our anniversary and we were not impressed. The first time we went I loved it the mussels were amazing. The second time my mussels were so sweet that I couldn't even eat them or have the smell of them at my table. The manager was very nice and took them off our bill and explained they had used too much of one thing that is only supposed to be used to cut the flavor not add to it. I understood and was very grateful that he explained it and thought it was just a fluke. So then this time we tried it for the third time. I thought since last time was a fluke I would give the mussels one more try hoping they would be as good as the first time. Again they were awful I couldn't eat more than 5. I mentioned I did not like them to the gentleman that came to take them away since he was wondering why so few were eaten. Nothing was said. My husband asked for a burger plain. And it was not so we had to send it back. Not two minutes later they had a new burger for him which was not cooked thoroughly and was cold...? He had been drinking coke and was brought the wrong drink. Our waitress was very nice but seemed to be overwhelmed and had too much to do to actually pay attention to our attitudes and we went on a slow night. Over all we will not be going back and I am very disappointed that is has fallen so far in my opinion. I was really excited to have a new seafood restaurant in our area.

I've been to Bonefish a number of times, but never took the time to post a review. I've been to a number of locations in other cities, as well and never left disappointed. This time, I visited on a busy Friday evening after having received a $10 off coupon via email (always a plus!). I had a made a reservation thru the website, so I had no wait upon arrival. I ordered a glass of the pineapple wine (which was very good and a deal at $6). I placed my entree order and was presented with a fresh sliced ciabatta roll and seasoned olive oil for dipping (yum!). I has also ordered the house salad which I have always enjoyed, heart of palm, spring mix greens, sunflower seeds. My entree arrived a short time later, grilled shrimp & scallops (a little bit overdone, but still ok), with sides of green beans and crab fried rice. This is the first time that I had the rice and OMG, it was delicious. I've always enjoyed the key lime pie at Bonefish, so I ordered a slice to take home. The meal was great, especially with the $10 off coupon. I could hardly wait to get home to enjoy my dessert. Well, the dessert was not nearly as good as my meal. I was very disappointed, especially because I've had it many times before. The portion was small, and there as not the usual tangy lime taste. The filling was a bit waxy and flavorless. The crust was soggy and the entire dessert was completely covered (as if to disguise the small portion) in an unappetizing, off-tasting whipped cream substitute. I felt as though, I got the last piece that had been forgotten about, in the back of the fridge. If I had been served the same while in the restaurant, I would have definitely sent it back to the kitchen. I will definitely return to Bonefish, but would think twice about dessert.

Last night, we made reservations for Bonefish. Surprisingly, when we arrived, we were immediately seated. We walked past at least 20 people that were standing around waiting. Busy night! We were promptly seated and asked if we wanted bread with our drinks. Um, yes! The bread was warm and delicious. Then we ordered the scallop appetizer, which included four seared scallops wrapped in bacon. They seemed to be cooked correctly because they were not chewy at all and they tasted delicious. Loved them! I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass, wife ordered the special which was a white fish served in lobster sauce, garlic mash, and chickpea salad. My fish was specatular! I was longing for more because it was a small cut. It was cooked to perfection and was definitely the highlight of my dish. The side of cooked chickpeas was very tasty. Loved it and wanted more! I washed it down with two glasses of yummy red sangria. My wife said her fish tasted awesome and her serving was much larger than mine, even though we both ordered the 'regular' size. She washed hers down with some yummy Chardonnay. My daughter had fish n chips and she gobbled up every bit of it. She really liked it. My son had eaten previously, so he just had some fries, which he liked a lot. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Refills were on point and his demeanor was great. This place has really good food and service.
(4)Ted J.
Pleasant fast service and extensive food selection. The meal I had was delicious, and the service was excellent. They even put our doggie bag items in s bag and hung them nicely on a hook so that we wouldn't forget to take them home For dessert they even have a flourless brownie!

Bonehead Grill. Hello Yelpers! Sorry its been so long. I have been busy. The 30 second version is this. I met a girl and fell in love. Fast forward 4 years and a wedding later, I now happily live in the suburbs and my wild days are gone. Between that and starting my own company about 3 years ago and life in suburbia, writing has fallen to the wayside. In addition, unless you want to discuss the finer points of furnace repair, I am not very interesting. I have become a cliche but a happy one. I am breaking radio silence to share my experience with these clowns. It's pretty straight forward, and the more I think about it, the more angry I get. Last Monday, my wife and her girlfriend came here for dinner. I was invited, but skipped out to get some business stuff done. She came home and we went to bed at our standard 10 pm (that's how cool we are). About 1 am, she is in real rough shape as her body decides to purge it entire contents. She only usually eats about half her meal, so there were leftovers to examine. Sure enough, the inside was raw. Not just pink but raw pork tenderloin. I do most of the cooking on the house, so she probably wouldn't notice how undercooked it was and she also commented the booth was pretty dark. She isn't one to complain, so I am doing it for her. Her stance is "I am never eating there again" and that the end of it for her. Then they made it worse. Instead of just going on yelp and typing this for all to see, I decided to give them a call, explain, and email them the pics of the raw pork they served my wife. It's been a week now, and no call or email back. Apparently food safety isn't a concern for them. You can see the picture yourself if you want. I uploaded it to their yelp page. As a business owner, I know things happen, and how you respond when those things happen is 90% of the battle. As a major safety issue, this incident should have not been brushed off by the management the way it was. End rant. So, If you are healthy, and feel the need to purge your body of fluids, Bonefish Grill may be a great choice. But if you are young or old, I wouldn't recommend it, as it could put you in the hospital.

We were in the mood for seafood and this place was close to where we were staying. We were seated quickly. Our server James was very attentive, bringing our drinks quickly and some warm ciabatta bread and olive oil to munch on while our food was prepared. Hubby had the wood grilled rainbow trout, and I had the bang bang shrimp tacos. We also each had salads to accompany our meals which were delicious. We will definitely try the one in our hometown!!

Although I really enjoy this place, my husband doesn't. The bang bang shrimp is so good. I can eat two servings on my own! ;) I've enjoyed every seafood dish I've ordered there - especially the sea bass. My husband has ordered filet almost every time and the last 2 times there was a large line of fat down the middle of the filet. Sent back and came back with the same problem. Not sure if they got a new butcher or what but s/he needs to remove that from a filet mingon, especially for that price. I convinced him to try the sea bass and although he's new to seafood he actually liked it. But the main reason he goes (besides taking me for my shrimp!) is the key lime pie martini (OMG so good) and the creme brûlée. We have to order 2 since he will eat a whole one by himself.

Another great Tuesday lobster night. I think I am getting hooked on the ahi tuna as well. We ate at the bar and the bartender couldn't have been sweeter. For dinner, we each ordered the lobster specials, as well as the ahi tuna. Perfect portions and a great way to spend a Tuesday night! Only one drawback: the butter served with the lobster isn't clarified, but for the price, who cares??

Cluster-Bleep. Ordered grilled salmon no butter or salt and broccoli steamed plain w/o butter or salt. Picked up my to go order. Couldn't have been more butter on the vegetables, was gross. Spilled onto salmon. Called and they said they would re do the order in 15 mins. Showed up in 15, waited another 15 mins (30 total). Said they would give me a gift card bc it was easier to refund it. Asked me to give him a minute to retrieve. Took 10 mins. My food was cold by the time I got back to hotel. Will never eat here again.

disorganized. We had two servers, the first of which seemed to be on his game however, he was quickly booted out by a server who, for lack of a better term, couldn't give a fuck. Split one appetizer and one entrée and drinks for a table of two. Overcharged my bill about $17 and the whole ordeal took nearly TWO HOURS! Place was half full btw. ALL of THIS Could've been forgiven but when I brought it to the manager's attention the guy condescended me by explaining how taxes work. I would've brought it directly to the servers attention but she was nowhere to be found. I feel bad about dinging the staff...but seriously screw this place, never again. Food was so-so......go to burntwood tavern or wasabi, or McDonalds...you'll leave happier.

Bang, Bang Shrimp Tacos. That Is all......drops the mic. and walks away

Angelica M was our server and she was absolutely wonderful! Very attentive, informative and knowledgable about the menu. She was a fast service and made sure we had full drinks and bellies the entire time. The food was awesome and I would definitely suggest the Bang Bang Shrimp and the Winter White Cosmo. We had a great date night and will definitely be back and soon!

Food was fine but the service was GREAT! Thank you to Dwayne, the best server at Bone Fish Grille! He was very attentive and engaging. We will be back!

Run don't walk to a different restaurant. I travel to this area for work quite often and I've now tried Bonefish 4 times hoping it would get better. The service is really slow and disorganized. The food is typically flavorless and in 3 cases now it's either been undercooked or overcooked. Worst of all? Traveling after getting food poisoning from the food. This has happened twice now after eating at this Bonefish. I'm done, not trying it again, not risking my life for a chain restaurant with mediocre service and horrible food.

Went for lunch. Service was ok. Food was comically bland and short on portions. Waste of money and time. First and last time there.

I'm pretty sure with my visit to this Bonefish that I'm over my obsession. Thanks a lot. Went in and was seated in a booth that I requested and sat down. Service was very quick and the waitress was super knowledgeable and very friendly. That part was excellent. It was the food. WTH? Started off with the bang bang shrimp because, duh, delicious. Delivered awesomely fast, but as I started to eat it I thought that it tasted super bland. I thought it must have been an off day here. No. A waiter comes over and asks if I knew that it was chicken instead of shrimp. I told him I thought it tasted weird, but I was tired from working all day and navigating the crazy snow (man, snow is hard) after the blizzard that swept through. I was so hungry from not eating all day that I just wanted food. So, they bring me what I actually ordered, shrimp. They didn't even ask if I wanted it, if I wanted to just take it off my check. Nope, just plopped it down. I didn't eat all the chicken, but I really wanted the shrimp so I ate enough that I was sort of put off my meal by then. Anyway, I ordered off the specials menu because I saw asparagus and feta and it was a white fish (haddock) and it just sounded so good. It came out looking like a train wreck on top of mashed potatoes (which almost killed me with the salt content alone). It was covered in some crazy, fattening sauce that tasted like pure junk. Ugh. How artery clogging can you get? The asparagus was limp and ugly. Hated that. The fish was flaking, I THINK, but I can't confirm that because it was covered in heart attack. That had to be the worst thing I've ever eaten at a Bonefish. No, wait, almost anywhere. And, I had the glorious privilege of paying $20 for it. You'd have to give me $40 to get even anywhere near me accepting an apology for this disaster. (to their credit they did include a chickpea side dish that was really good) So, I'm over Bonefish. I can make my own dishes that won't gag me. Done.

The sea bass I had was rather bland. Seasonal steamed vegetables were served too big to eat without cutting, but required a steak knife to cut. There are plenty of great locally owned restaurants around that serve better food at the same or lower prices than Bonefish.
(2)Shahbaaz A.
I LOVE their Sunday brunch items! Their brioche french toast is amazingly good. I really like their fish tacos also, the mango salsa in it makes it special. Their creme brulee might be one of the best I've had, I love the berries on it.
(4)Ben B.
In Cleveland for the week on a business trip. Went to Bonefish the other night and was thoroughly impressed. Had two appetizers for dinner - started with the tuna tartare tacos (AMAZING) and followed up with the lamb chop lollipops, which were prepared and presented perfectly. Bar staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a high quality meal in a classy and clean environment.
(5)Todd J.
We just left after waiting for over 15 minutes for them to take our order. We asked for the TV to be changed and that did not happen either. The service was really terrible. Never again.

Best place to eat great seafood. I've been going to Bonefish for multiple years now and it always gets better. Started off with the Bang Bang Shrimp which never disappoints. I ordered a Caesar Salad with anchovies, hands down the best Caesar I've ever had anywhere. I had the Swordfish with jalapeño bacon cream for my entree. This was so delicious. It was cooked perfectly with amazing flavor. This is the first time I've ever had swordfish and I will for sure be ordering it again in the future. And to end the meal I split a creme brûlée with my wife. She's obsessed with it and I don't blame her. I have yet to find a restaurant that does their creme brûlée like Bonefish does.

Food was excellent .I ordered the bang bang shrimp tacos ,Delicious everyone at the table was happy with their food which is extremely rare ,my parents almost always have a complaint and so does my friend .The service was ok ,the waitress lacked in personality for sure I don't think she smiled once ..maybe it was just a bad day .
(4)Monica J.
Beer was skunked. Took 3 requests to have water at our table. The martini that was described in an ice glass came in a regular glass--when we asked, she said they ran out of ice glasses and it's way better like this. Had to ask for a specials menu board. I ordered a wedge salad for my entrée--it was a slice of lettuce instead. The tilapia came with whipped potatoes and couscous--an all white meal on an all white plate--very appetizing! Service was meh. Bathrooms were dirty. We generally love Bonefish, but will not visit this one again.

Went for happy hour with my folks. The drinks were delicious and the strawberry spinach salad was to die for!

My new number 1! Hubby took me here for my birthday and I absolutely loved it!!! We had 5pm reservations, but showed up early. They had us seated in seconds! The waitress was very informative and had wonderful suggestions. She never showed impatience with us at our slow decisions and when she discovered it was my birthday, she rummaged and found a candle to place on my dessert! I LOVE HER! The food was immaculate. I can't say enough great things about this place. All I can say is BANG-BANG Shrimp!!
(5)Jennifer C.
I was surprisingly impressed with Bonefish Grill, which I didn't honestly expect to be (not usually a fan of chains). Side note for people with kids: Don't short change yourself, they are a moderately loud restaurant, so don't hesistate to bring the babies. And their children's meals look more like mini-adult meals (steamed broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, and snow peas were on my niece's plate!). Side note for people with gluten allergies: They have an ENTIRE menu that is for gluten-free folks with some solid offerings. My food-snob baby sister didn't feel relegated to the salad menu for once. It was awesome! Since I was out with my sister-in-law and sister, we decided to have some fun and ordered our meal in reverse. Desserts first! The chocolate creme brulee was good, but it was the flourless chocolate brownie that really knocked my socks off. The addition of the raspberry sauce was phenomenal and the macadamia nuts were a great touch. We ended up ordering appetizers/salads as both the entrees and the appetizers, so we'll go down the list: - Bang Bang Shrimp: I loved these, my dinner partners were not quite as excited. I thought the creamy/spicy sauce was divine. - Maryland Crabcakes: There was some SERIOUS crab meat in these things. They pretty much fell apart (which is A-OK with me) because there was too much meat and not enough binding ingredients. - Wagyu Beef & Ginger dumplings: ROCKED. These were fantastic. Little packets of beefy-spicy explosion. - Thai Coconut Shrimp: These were actually the hit of the table. I wish we had ordered two plates, because 6 shrimp between 3 people kinda sucked. The shrimp were crispy, the sauce was sweet and had a great kick to it. - Bacon wrapped scallops: These.....were a fail of grand proportions. I docked a star for it. My sister-in-law and I weren't quite sure what was wrong, but the sauce actually tasted moldy. Freaked me out, but the waiter promptly took them away and off the bill. - Beet Salad with Goat Cheese: I love beets. It's a sick sick addiction, and this salad totally rocked my socks. The goat cheese was creamy and delicious, the beets were perfectly cooked, and the dressing was lick-the-plate good.

Out in Cleveland for work, and I didn't want to go far from the hotel. I had been to another Bonefish and it hadn't been that memorable, but I had a good experience tonight. The Bang Bang Shrimp were pretty fire, and the burger was juicy and had good flavor. With a fresh salad you can't ask for much else. Had a couple craft beers but selection could be better.
(4)Em D.
So Good! We started with the bang bang shrimp and it was the perfect size for two people. I got the seabass based on the reviews and I am so happy that I did. I love fish already and for those of you who do not like fishy taste the seabass is for you. This tasted like a steak to me. I got the lemon butter sauce and used that on my fish as well as the asparagus and broccoli I received for my sides. The seasonal veggie was zuchinni and tomatoes; but I have a tomato allergy so I paid the extra for the asapargus. I am giving Bonefish 4 stars because our waitress was not very good. She disappeared for quite a while and took awhile to return our drinks and water.I will return.

Come here for the wood-fired fish. Everything else is just OK. Ceviche appetizer ($7.90) - taste overpowered by bell peppers, celery (especially strong!), and pre-cooked shrimp. There was nothing refreshing or well developed about the flavor of the ceviche. It seemed more like a salad of chopped ingredients rather than a medley of flavors. I do not recommend. Scallops - both as a bacon-wrapped appetizer ($10.50) and main entrée w/ Caesar salad ($19.80) were disappointing. They may have been fresh and cooked correctly (thank goodness!) but they were tasteless. I expect that sort of nice, subtle sweet flavor in the flesh but these were just bland. Of course adding bacon to anything makes it better but the scallops alone were lacking in flavor. Did not try their "bang bang shrimp" which is apparently their star appetizer dish. I don't know, couldn't wrap myself around wanting breaded shrimp marinating in a mayonnaise sauce. Sauces - Egads! WTH!! I've had mango in dishes before (salsa, chutney, etc.) but Bonefish's mango sauce used for the scallop appetizer and the sea bass entrée simply sucks - it seems to clash with and detract from the seafood, not enhance. And the chimichurri sauce (2nd on their list of 4 sauces to choose from for your grilled fish) was, again, nothing to write home about - just a fancy name for Italian dressing. Whichever you order, make sure you order sauces ON THE SIDE so you can try it before slathering it on a perfectly good piece of fish. Chilean Sea Bass ($27.30) - and now the SAVING GRACE! Everything with this entrée was superb!! This delicious fish (AKA Patagonian toothfish) had a wonderful flavor in its delicate, buttery white meat with a nice wood-fired surface. The fish's freshness and quality and the preparation were PERFECT! Even the accompaniments were cooked and seasoned just right (spaghetti squash and steamed broccoli). In fact the fish was so delicious I stopped using the mango and chimichurri sauces on the side altogether and enjoyed the naked flavors - the fish was stupendous all on its own! Service - Generally was quite good... at least during the 1st half of dinner. Our waiter was very attentive and communicative through our whole "first-time" process and spent the time helping us understand the restaurant offerings. He did botch the ingredients on two separate dishes despite previously boasting that he knew the ingredients of every dish on the menu by heart. And he ended up locking his attention onto another table which seemed to be friends of his. Anyway, we ended up waiting on him throughout the second half of dinner as he spent time chatting and writing things (unrelated to order taking) at the other table. Ambiance/decor - a bit strange if not confusing: dim lighting and a classy feel but you spend most of the time trying to hold down the butcher paper they spread out on your table. The whole time I wasn't sure if I needed to wear a tie or a bib with a lobster picture on it and a crayon in one hand! So to recap, we were unimpressed with the overall meal especially for the expectations set by the overprice and ambiance; a borderline 2-star experience which for me means I'd be the one in the group steering us away from choosing this place for dinner. However, on only the merits of the Chilean sea bass entrée alone, I'd go back in a heartbeat.

First the food part: The fish was excellent. Husband had Tilapia, while I totally enjoyed the trout. I preferred the old menu to this newly released, more causal dining menu. The wine list is very fairly priced. Service was excellent. Now the bad: I called at 6:10pm asking to make a reservation for 6:30 or 7pm that night. I was told they do not take reservations for within an hour. Nor do they do call ahead wait listing. I asked "if we come within ten minutes, will there be a wait for a table for two?" I was told, "No, I don't think that will be problem." We arrived in less than ten minutes and were told that there was a 25-30 minute wait. I recognized her voice, and reminded her that I had just called. She blushed, shrugged her shoulders, and referred us to the bar. Where we paid for two glasses of wine, feeling like we had been screwed. There WERE empty tables in the restaurant. I would have gone elsewhere, but it was a long day of traveling and husband wanted to stay. But it left a very bad taste in our mouths about this particular BoneFish.
(3)Julia N.
The food was spectacular... I ordered a mango sangria and it was way too sweet even though the waitress suggested it... we started with the bang bang shrimp. I got the rainbow trout with mango salsa, jasmine rice, and steamed broccoli... I was stuffed when I left. Now the waitress was not very good, but the manager LJ did come around and ask us how everything was, that and the fastness of the food really impressed me! Will be returning for sure!
(4)Alexis B.
Went out for a Friday night dinner with family, and made a reservation for a large group. Bonefish gives a 15 minute window and they like to have most of the party to be seated. We ordered up glasses of wine, during happy hour and ordered two appetizers. The Thai Coconut Shrimp had a crispy, sweet outside and dipped in a sauce, I was lucky to even get a bite, they went so fast! And the Saucy Shrimp, placed on our end of the table, so I had more of this. Shrimp bathed in a lime tomato garlic sauce and olives, it was a great marriage of flavor. The bread was fresh and warm, and that always is a hit with a large group of people. We ordered, and I kept hearing great things about this bang-bang shrimp, so I went with the tacos. Two soft shelled tacos, bang-bang spicy shrimp with lettuce and no sour cream. The tacos were creamy enough, and didn't need extra. I ordered a side salad and it was perfect., and not overly full. Our waitress was kind, and patient and made our dining experience very pleasant.

Start off with the bang bang shrimp or the crab cakes and see what you think. I usually proceed to the imperial longfin and leave very satisfied. For a commercial chain, all of the meals have been very consistent over numerous visits. I enjoy their food and will continue to be a patron!
(4)Marisa B.
Great place to come for delicious seafood!! The mussels appetizer, bang-up shrimp flatbread, stuffed fish with scallops, crab and shrimp, filet mignon. We are definately returning!
(5)Joe M.
Great food. I am a fan of bonefish, love the shrimp and the tuna. Both are on the appetizer menu. It's a little pricy but worth the money. It was very close to my hotel so it made it easy to get there and back. Stop by its a nice place for dinner Visited November 2011

Came here on a packed Saturday night with my mom and boyfriend. There was a 1/2 hour wait so we sat at the bar. They have some very pricey drink items (who doesn't).. but they also had $5 house specials. I started with a raspberry vodka drink and my mom had a lemonade concoction of some sort. Both were DELICIOUS. She practically chugged that thing, and if hers was half as strong as mine I'm certainly surprised she didn't fall off her bar stool. A manager also came around offering a sample of their calamari. I am a fried squid FREAK, and theirs is hands down the best I've ever had. It rests on a spicy-ish sauce and was crispy and fresh. It was our first time here so when we were seated our server, Terry happily explained the menu and answered all our questions. I had eaten shortly prior to our visit. I insisted that they order and Terry gave me plenty of time to finally decide on a bowl of corn & clam chowder. I didn't feel rushed at all with him. He had a very outgoing personality and kept us laughing and entertained throughout our meal. My mom said her scallops were the best she's ever had and they practically melted in her mouth. Boyfriend had steak and was very impressed that a seafood joint could cook such a great hunk of cow. Highly recommended restaurant. Pretty pricey, but worth it! Ask for Terry if you go!
(5)Melissa O.
My absolute favorite chain restaurant ever!!! Im not much of a fish fan (only salmon) but they have plenty else to keep me happy! Lilys chicken, lilys salmon, steak mmmm soooo good! I also get the saucy shrimp as an app, greek inspired. And of course can't forget the pomegranate martini!!! Reasonably priced though the servers can be snobby at times.
(5)Mike N.
Did not expect much from a chain sea food restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised. Nice menu, appreciate that they will prepare according to your choice of seasoning. Good service. Well prepared food, good portions for price. Would recommend and return.

Was in Ohio and business and needed to grab dinner after flying in as my hotel didn't have room service (Grr). 4 colleagues and I went to Bonefish which was right by the hotel and had a wonderful meal. We were there @ 8:30 pm and there were only a few other occupied tables. The menu has a nice selection of meats to choose from, with multiple preparation/presentation styles. I loved this. They also have a nice list of sides to choose from, so you can build your meal as you want it! Disclaimer: This is not a place for vegetarians - I didn't notice any veggie entree options. I got the salmon with lemon butter sauce on the side, with steamed veggies and a garbanzo bean/spinach salad side dish. It was all delicious. My colleagues got other fish dishes and seemed pleased as well (ahi/mahi mahi). Service was friendly. Parking was a snap. We didn't have to wait too long to be served, and were out of there by 10 (party of 5 took about 90 minutes from start to finish). Next time I'm back in town I will likely go here again simply because it's a great meal right by the hotel.

Run don't walk! I was honestly impressed with the quality of food. Coming from Los Angeles has been difficult for me to find places to eat that are incredible. Well this one fits the bill. When I have visitors come to town this place will be first on my list to share with others! Everything was great, we went on a Wed night so there was no wait. All food had great flavor and spiced adequantly. Yummy in my tummy:-)
(5)David W.
This is one of my new favorite restaurants. The food is very good. The service is very good. I would recommend this as a very nice date destination. I would also recommend taking a family or group of friends. Good Food---Good Service---Good Prices
(4)Hank's Dad R.
Love this place. It's great to see a chain achieve success while still managing to keep the prices reasonable. We've been to three different Bonefish's, and they have been remarkably consistent, especially for the level of quality. You have to try the Bang Bang Shrimp.
(4)LuckieMaounds P.
Kenny A. and I might share the same brain... I'm from the west coast and I had never heard of Bonefish Grill, so I had no idea it is a chain. When we walked in, the decor and ambience easily gives you the look and feel of a much higher-end restaurant. I loved everything I had: the bread, the crab and corn chowder, the Imperial longfin with the amazing crab and shrimp stuffing. I don't remember what my sides were. For dessert I ordered a lemon drop martini. Service was great. I would go back in a second, even though the Newcastle came in a bottle.
(4)Holly S.
The five stars are for the manager who let us in at 10:00 pm Sunday night as they were closing. We just arrived from the airport and were desperate to eat. Our server was fabulous too. It never concerned her that she had to serve new customers when she was probably getting ready to go home! The food was good too. I had the fish and chips, and although I was surprised it was Tilapia, it was quite tasty.
(5)Steph L.
Delicious! My husband and I went on a short trip, staying in a nearby hotel. We ate here and were very happy with our decision! I had the shrimp and scallops and my husband had the sirloin with the crab cake. Both were wonderful and the service was great.
(5)Terri K.
I really like this place! I used to think it was stuffy and not welcoming but I have found that not to be the case. Great atmosphere, especially for happy hour after a long day. Sit at the bar and relax. You MUST have their Bang Bang shrimp. It is one of the best things I've eaten. Service could be a tad quicker but I'm always entertained so it doesn't bother me. You will enjoy"
