| - Ok maybe I am not allowed to write a review yet because I did get a free meal today during the soft opening with a flyer that came from American Express, but I have made reservations for dinner later this week and for a Holiday party in December. That should tell you how good it was.
The decor is beautiful wood grained and black with the bonefish accents tastefully arranged throughout the restaurant. A really big beautiful one on the main dining room. The wait staff is enthusiastic, friendly and while there were a few minor glitches, they were quickly remedied. And hey, they haven't even really opened yet. The 17th is the first day.
The Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer, is a must order! Enough to share with 3 or 4.
I had the Sea Bass with mango salsa and it was perfectly cooked and really was sea bass. I'm sure everyone knows that the name on the menu does not always equate to what comes out on the plate, particularly when they say sea bass. This was perfectly cooked - moist, tender, and flakey. It had a beautiful sear and the salsa had large chunks of mango with red onion and a bit of spice, and was most definitely sea bass, not an immitation. It was served with spaghetti squash that was well prepared and I chose couscous as the side dish, which was surprisingly good.
My friend had the Salmon, also with the mango salsa and shared a bit with me. It was perfectly seared and her side was broccoli. Big bright green beautiful florets.
The creme Brûlée dessert was creamy, with a windowpane of fired sugar and was big enough to share.
I am sorry I did not take pictures for you. I guess you will just have to go over there yourself and see. Thank goodness bonefish grill finally came to Madison and we can pretend we are in Florida while the snow flies. This is the best seafood I have had in Wisconsin.
