This was our first visit to Bonefish Grill and I was pleasantly surprised. The menu was great and the staff was very knowledgeable. Our server Christine explained their restaurant concept without asking and mentioned her recommendations. If a server eats at the restaurant it is a very good sign. Each waiter/waitress also had a thermometer on them. Our server was very efficient and had her act together.
We started off with the Bang Bang Shrimp as an appetizer. They were good but the breading fell off of almost every one. I have had different versions of breaded shrimp in a spicy cream sauce and the breading never fell off like this. I believe the trick is to apply the breading, then cool them in a freezer for a few minutes. After we ordered these they came out in literally 5-7 minutes. Either they were made ahead of time or they are quickly made, skipping the chill process which may contribute to the breading mishap. Despite the breading issue they were delicious. 4/5 stars
My girlfriend ordered the Blackened Baja Fish Tacos. She said they were delicious but the Jasmine Rice was lacking any flavor whatsoever. The tacos were spicy but offset nicely with the mango. And it would have been nice to have more of the lime crema on them or on the side. 4/5
I ordered the Tilapia Imperial with Au Gratin Potatoes and Jasmine Rice. The tilapia was cooked just the way I like it; crispy exterior but still flaked apart. The shrimp/scallops/crab and lemon caper butter was average. The Jasmine Rice was bland but some places server it like this. I would recommend adding some kind of flavor to side. 4/5
