| - Wife and I were excited to see this place open-we are seafood fans. The thought of fish brought in fresh daily was very appealing, considering we live 400 miles from the nearest ocean. How wrong we were! We had no reservation, but we were greeted promptly & courteously, and seated immediately. Nice ambiance!
If the story ended here the place would be a winner. Menus arrived promptly, and the server immediately pointed us toward the alcohol menu. We weren't interested, and asked if there were any specials. The server explained the menu well. This place is nothing more than a restaurant with pictures on its menu. Blue cheese dressing on the salad was right out of the jar. When the entrées came, they reminded me of the WWII army chow line-when the servers would slap the ice cream on top of the mashed potatoes. The food was piled into an inglorious heap, very unappetizing and very UNpresentable. Wife's mahi was totally overcooked and inedible . When we told the server, She was quick to apologize, and went to find a manager. After 5 minutes or so, she returned to say the manager was busy with something and couldn't come out, but offered us a free dessert. We looked at her as if she had a foot coming out of her head, while the very inedible mahi sat in front of my wife with the server looking at it as if she thought it might bite. In addition to all that, there were intolerable waits to get our iced teas refilled. However, when the check came the mahi was deleted, and we left. This place would do well to close up for 10 days, train the staff, hire a decent kitchen staff from head chef on down, provide proper portions, and learn how to present dishes in an appetizing way. If Bonefish Grill succeeds, it won't be on our dime!!!
