Bonefish Grill on Carmel for early dinner. I was delighted by the greeting from every employee! Our server was quick to the table & knowledgable ... enough so to clearly detail the specials, answer questions and make recommendations based on something specific to the dish. She also brought bread w.a good sized platter of seasoned olive oil. Not those skimpy ones other places give & I always have to ask for more....like 3 more! Unfortunately I forget her name & she was excellent! :-/ Oh! And the servers wore chef's coats! Nice touch!
Wednesday special: Bang Bang shrimp appie for $6. I ordered them GF/grilled, no breading. Just not the same as fried but ok. I didn't order a salad bc the shrimp come on a nice bed of greens. The salads I did see coming out were generously portioned! Being rather hungry (aka eyes too big for my stomach ) I added al a carte sides of potato au gratin & sauteed spinach ($3 each). The potatoes were chunked like potato salad, not the usual sliced, and had lots of gooey cheese. Very good! The spinach was delicious; not oily & had just the right amount of garlic. One of my pet peeves is when you don't taste the food bc it is overseasoned. Like, what are they covering up when places do that?!
Excellent service, good food & nice atmosphere for just $12.00
Sometimes it's not worth shopping & cooking. An enjoyable visit!
There were drink specials, also. But, it was my "off night".
