| - I've been to Bonefish a number of times, but never took the time to post a review. I've been to a number of locations in other cities, as well and never left disappointed. This time, I visited on a busy Friday evening after having received a $10 off coupon via email (always a plus!). I had a made a reservation thru the website, so I had no wait upon arrival. I ordered a glass of the pineapple wine (which was very good and a deal at $6). I placed my entree order and was presented with a fresh sliced ciabatta roll and seasoned olive oil for dipping (yum!). I has also ordered the house salad which I have always enjoyed, heart of palm, spring mix greens, sunflower seeds. My entree arrived a short time later, grilled shrimp & scallops (a little bit overdone, but still ok), with sides of green beans and crab fried rice. This is the first time that I had the rice and OMG, it was delicious. I've always enjoyed the key lime pie at Bonefish, so I ordered a slice to take home. The meal was great, especially with the $10 off coupon. I could hardly wait to get home to enjoy my dessert. Well, the dessert was not nearly as good as my meal. I was very disappointed, especially because I've had it many times before. The portion was small, and there as not the usual tangy lime taste. The filling was a bit waxy and flavorless. The crust was soggy and the entire dessert was completely covered (as if to disguise the small portion) in an unappetizing, off-tasting whipped cream substitute. I felt as though, I got the last piece that had been forgotten about, in the back of the fridge. If I had been served the same while in the restaurant, I would have definitely sent it back to the kitchen.
I will definitely return to Bonefish, but would think twice about dessert.
