| - It really saddens me to write a bad review since we had been looking forward to dining at Bonefish Grille for quite some time. But it was absolutely AWFUL. Do not waste your time or money! My husband has been talking about Bonefish for as long as I can remember and couldn't be more excited that one finally opened in Phoenix. We went last weekend for Sunday Brunch. The brunch menu is a little limiting compared to the regular menu but so be it. It was pretty quiet in the restaurant and not busy at all (several servers clearly had nothing better to do and stood next to our booth, literally an arm's length away, chatting away during our entire meal). No one was out and out rude but the hostess seemed annoyed when we asked for a booth and quickly quipped that she couldn't put a high chair or sling at the end for our baby. Not a problem, he's young enough to stay in his car seat. The attitude was unnecessary though. Our server was nice enough but super slow to refill our drinks (had to ask three times for iced tea refills). They charged more than $4 for our 5 year old's lemonade (separate from her meal that should have been included) that "had to be made at the bar"-taking a full 15 minutes longer for our kiddo to have a drink after the rest of of table received theirs. And it was served in a tall glass-not very accommodating to young kids when the restaurant has a kids menu. Minor things but there was hardly anybody there so I'm not sure why they delay. The issue is the food-my husband's bang bang tacos were just ok. I'm not sure what people are gushing about in the online reviews but they were mediocre at best. I ordered the surf and turf eggs benedict. I am not a food snob by any means-but I coudn't even gag my way through half of it!! Poached eggs, hollandaise, filet mignon, and lobster-it should have been fantastic. The eggs and english muffin were too tough to even cut with a steak knife, the lobster was flavorless, and the filet mignon, although it appeared to be cooked well, had an odd smell and taste to it. I felt sick for several hours afterward. The cerviche appetizer was the only tasty dish that came across our table. The whole experience was just awful. We could not be more disappointed. There are plenty of fantastic restaurants in the valley, do your taste buds, tummy, and your wallet a favor and go just about anywhere else.
