This is the second Bonefish Grill I've been to in a few years. The other one was up north.
My overall experience was so-so but the food was pretty good. We went on Mother's Day. I believe someone in our group made reservations so there was no wait.
Here's how it went down from beginning to end.
1. We were seated at an "extended table" in an awkward location. Right near the front door and the "extension" seemed to be a small table that was shorter than the main table and tilted towards the floor the slightest bit so we had to be careful NOT to put anything near the join. Which was hard to remember because the whole shebang was covered with the same piece of butcher's paper (?).
2. Our drink order was taken. Drinks received soon enough but someone in our group had to ask for bread.
3. Food order taken. I applaud the staff for getting everyone's food out almost simultaneously. We were a party of nine or 10.
4. Wait staff was very attentive but forgot the side sauces some asked for.
5. Leftovers were boxed to go upon request but returned to the diners (me included) without a bag. Initially I thought they didn't HAVE bags. Then I noticed other diners exiting with bags so I asked and received.
(It just makes sense to me that a customer leaving one's establishment with... anything would be given that item in a BAG. A bag displaying one's establishment name or logo is also a means of free advertisement as I will re-use a good bag until it falls to shreds.)
6. The waiter knew to ask if and how the bill should be split.
Peeve: The way their prices are displayed on the menu.
By the way, my meal was delicious. I wasn't in the mood for seafood so I ordered Lily's Chicken. It was delicious.
