| - I went to the Bonefish Grill in Maryland and my experience was okay because the service was excellent, considering how busy it was. The food was not that hot though, the scalloped potatoes were cold and undercooked. My fillet mignon was really good and lean though, crab cake was really tasty though not hot too.
Finding out they had recently opened a location in the Pittsburgh area was exciting. I thought I could give this a place a try on a more quiet night, hoping that they could pay better attention to the food. It was incredibly packed on a Wednesday night; the wait was an hour.
We ordered the 2 for $39.9. The meal came with 3 very small cuts of ahi tuna, salmon, sea bass, as well as 2 shrimp and 2 scallops. It also included 2 salads and 2 sides (asparagus $1 extra and garlic mash potatoes) on another plate with their signature garbanzo salad. The fish was just simply undercooked. The ahi tuna made my stomach turn, because it was raw, and I understand that is how they do it. It just did not sit well with me. The texture of it was just too mushy and flavorless. My taste buds were not very excited to work the sea bass either- salmon, I make that at home and it wasn't good either. The scallop I ate was undercooked too.
In the end, our bill with tip came to about $60 (we got water). I'm not sure I'll ever pay that price again to wait an hour for food that is disappointing to just okay. I might stop by for Happy Hour because the service is really good and the atmosphere is extremely nice (slightly crammed). However, dinner would be more enjoyable, for me, somewhere cheaper and better tasting. The 4 of us that went left agreeing that TGI Fridays would have been better and much cheaper.
