Bonefish Grill

I have visited here on two occasions recently. The first time was midweek with husband and second was on Valentines Day with my family. The first visit we shared the bang bang shrimp. I was unimpressed. It was okay but drowning in mayo. My wood grilled mahi mahi was amazing. It was topped with lump crab and a kemon butter sauce. I couldn’t get it down my piehole fast enough. My husband had the fontina style filet mignon. It was amazing. It was in a marsala reduction with fontina cheese, mushrooms and crispy prosciutto. I almost had food jealousy. Our server was fabulous. He made great recommendations and made sure our cups were always full.
Now obviously holidays are always a bit off but woosah! First we informed our server that our child had severe peanut/​treenut allergies. I guess I just assumed she would tell the chef or find out what was safe for him to eat. She brought out our beverages and bread (served with pesto, an obvious no no). I asked if the bread was safe. She responded that the pesto had pine nuts (no kidding?) but wasn’t sure about bread. I reminded her that he had a life threatening allergy and didn’t want to ruin everyones meal with an epipen and ambulance so perhaps she could check with kitchen. She came back and it was in fact NOT safe. I’m glad I asked again. Then the kids menu… It is outdated. She said that burgers are no longer offered but could get him and adults one. (he’s 7 and weighs 46 lbs). I politely declined and opted for the chicken fingers. Again I asked if they were safe. You guessed it! She had to check with kitchen. So annoying. I wonder if they are trained in dealing with food allergies. It does state on the menu to let them know of any allergies. Why so difficult?! She came back again, they were NOT safe. Glad I checked… again…The only safe options were baked chicken breast or mac and cheese. He had the mac and cheese (with green beans because if I had to wait while she double checked fries I was going to starve to death).
Moving on to my meal and husbands. Fontina style filet= amazing. His was a bit too rare and stringy. Mine was perfect medium. My oldest son ordered pan seared scallops and shrimp. Fail. It came out room temperature and the scallops were raw in the middles. She apologized and said everything is cooked to medium (ummmm what? Husbands medium steak wasn’t and raw scallops are medium… hmmmmm). Anyway she bought back a new one that was hot and cooked. He said it was much better.
Overall I think the food is good but go on a quiet night. The server can definitely make or break your experience here.

Very impressed with menu. I enjoyed the Maryland Crab Cakes. Service was great and delivery of meal was prompt.
I could not have imagined a better experience!

First, pros. Drinks were excellent Food average, nothing too exciting. bang bang shrimp is my go to app. Entrée just ok
Ok service. Again average not horrible but nothing special either.
Cons. That floor is horribly slippery. Surprised no one has slipped and broken their neck. Be careful in heels ladies or you going down.
Prices are on the high side for the quality of food. You are located in the Ocean State with an abundance of quality fresh seafood. Disappointed. The only redeeming stars is the bar and bartender and drinks. They were fantastic. Stop by for drinks and apps and you won’t be disappointed

Countless visits for this restaurant at Chapel View. They are great!
Outstanding customer service, quality food, and nice atmosphere. The price is reasonable for what they have to offer.
Their lobster stuffed shrimp and bang bang shrimp are great appetizers. The lamb chops as appetizers are great too. The servers put 100% attention to all details which makes a dining experience so much better and they bring it to the next level. The manager has came to us (my hubbie and I) for two of the visits so far to ensure our experience and quality of food. (I am not sure if this point she recognized us lol)
The variety of their food is also another attractive trait of the restaurant, it is not limited to one kind of style but very international. I would say I have visited this restaurant with my husband for more than 5 times in 3 months. We haven’t encountered any bad experience from this restaurant. They are very consistent with their food quality and customer service/​experience.
I love Bonefish Grill!

You can not go wrong here especially on Tuesdays. They have a special prix fix menu for Tuesdays and the prices are just incredible for what you get. They offer the choice of Caesar or house salad, about 9 entrees (prices will vary), and dessert all for as low as $ 14.99. You can also get a special price on the bang bang shrimp (or substitute for chicken), almost half price. I believe this bang bang shrimp appetizer has to be their most popular item. The sauce is a little spicy and works so well with fried shrimp or chicken, must have this when you come.
I have been here numerous times and each time I am thrilled with the service. Everyone I have met is passionate about the business, they recommend what they like and truly believe in the company and provide you with the best service.
We got the filet and the seared tuna bowl, both were delicious. The filet was so moist and cooked perfectly and the tuna bowl had many flavors that paired so well together. I am shocked I like this place so much as it is a chain restaurant but good for them for actually changing my mindset!

They might be a seafood restaurant but the steak is excellent. Price and quality are much better than the neighbouring establishments. Service was by younger people but was perfect

The service here was great. The waiters/​waitresses, the bar, and other staff were great. The food was really good especially the bang bang shrimp. The first time I went was through an Unilocal event and then went two times after that the next week. This place is great for everyone. Go check it out, you won’t regret it!

What a GREAT place!!! The «Bang, Bang» Shrimp is a must-​have!!! The service was wonderful, and not a flawed dish in all the sampling we did. We’ll be back. Just LOVED it! Great suggestions on wine pairings for each seafood dish, too!

My wife and I went back to BG again yesterday for a light dinner before we went to an event in Providence. I know this establishment is a chain, but we really like the atmosphere, service, and most of all the food.
Our server was Mike, who really was very attentive, courteous and professional. He took great care of us from beginning to end.
We each had a beverage, and I enjoyed a cup of the soup of the day, which was a red pepper soup (delicious!), followed by a house salad w/​chicken (also great!). My wife had the Bang Bang spicy shrimp and a house salad and she really was happy with her choices. We opted to skip dessert and instead have a second beverage instead.
Great place! Would have given 4.5 stars if I knew how to do that.

I had previously been here for a Unilocal elite event and looked forward to going again. I took a friend and we were both blown away by the experience. Plenty of parking and we were seated quickly. Luis was our server and he is a gem. He was attentive, made sure our food was correct and drinks were filled. Service was great and the food was even better. We each started off with a salad and it was huge. The entire large plate was covered with fresh greens. The blue cheese dressing was to die for and was clearly made in house. I love the bang bang chicken so I had
To try the bang bang chicken tacos. They were fresh and loaded with delicious chicken. Wow. We both had the House made Chips and they were awesome. Bursting with flavor. Even though I was full I could not resist the donuts. They are deep fried and covered in caramel sauce. Yummy. I found the price to be reasonable for a dining experience. It was 70 $ for two of us. We each had a cocktail, an appetizer, dinner, and dessert. If your looking for a delicious dinner with awesome service this is a great option. I know I will be back. !

This place is great, the food, service, servers and the bar all rock!!! A buddy of mine and I came here after work to have a drink and get some dinner and were surprised at how many people recognized us from the Unilocal event that we had attended here, it made us both feel real special.
Will I come back here, of course I will and I’ll go to the one in Tampa, when I go back home too.

Bonefish jus got UnilocalED, we walked into the restaurant and it was an amazing experience. Our waitress took time to describe everythng that was on the menu and also they honored the coupon that was e-​mailed to me. Great waitress, always smiling, and checked on us frequently as we ate our meal.
The was food was delicious grilled salmon wit squash and steamed broccoli with 3 different types of sauce mango, lemon pepper, and oil and herbs. Also grilled chicken drizzled wit teriyaki sauce and brown rice and mango sauce on the side.
The experience was great. I cant wait to do it again

This place hands down earned a five star rating! What a fantastic place.
Really nicely decorated interior, without being pretentious. Staff is friendly & very attentive. Managers strive for happy guests. And they all work together so well.
But the food! Let’s talk about this amazing food! Let me start by saying that there was not one bite that was not delicious. And the martinis… perfection. We tried a seasonal pear martini today that literally knocked my socks off. Oh man, was it good! And I just can’t come here & not order the Bang-​Bang shrimp. It’s soooo good! Even my seafood hating hubby couldn’t get enough of it! I had a filet/​crab cake dish. Steak was cooked perfectly & the crab cake was fresh & amazing! For you seafood haters, try the Fontina Pork Chop. Whoa! Yummers! So tasty. So juicy. And the Marsala sauce is legit… not this overly sweet sauce that you find at your neighborhood chain restaurant.
Now, you can’t leave here without dessert! Hubby had Jen’s Jamaican Coconut Cream Pie… warm, creamy, & scrumptious. It had this amazing rum sauce over it that just put it over the top. I had the pumpkin brûlée…a seasonal dessert. So good! I’ve had the donuts here before at a Unilocal event… damn! So, so good! If it wasn’t for the pumpkin dessert, that’s what I would have had for sure!
So, bottom line… go here. Be happy. Bring your credit card because it is a bit pricy… but absolutely worth it!

So decided to come back with my lovely friend for another round of delicious Apple Martini and Moscoto drinks. We decided to have a few apps to split as well. The last time we were here, it was for a Unilocal event. My friend loved the Ahi Tuna, as did I, so we ordered that. It was just as delicious this time around. I also decided to give the raved about Bang Bang Shrimp another try. I had sampled it during the event and sadly, it was not what I had expected for a signature dish. Yet again, it was the same mayonnaise taste. Unfortunately I could not continue to eat it, and as much as I do not like sending food back, I just had to. I then decided to order the Wagyu Beef and Ginger Potstickers. While I didn’t mind the flavor of the potstickers themselves, I would need to ask for them to lighten up on the amount of soy sauce that they come doused in for next time.

After the recent YEE at this location, a friend and I decided to return and revisit Bonefish’s fantastic drink menu. We came in late and dined at the bar, pairing our apps with rounds of moscato and apple cider martinis (delicious)!
Service: Our bartender was helpful and cordial, but training another staff member, so it’s a little difficult to gauge our overall service level. While BFG prioritizes customer experience, on this night, there were definitely gaps. Again, I chalk this up to the training scenario more than anything else.
Food: Whether you dine at the bar or in the restaurant area, the restaurant starts patrons off with bread and pesto, a nice and flavorful touch in an era where those little «extras» are quickly dissipating. The pesto deserves some recognition; it was clearly made fresh, and bursting with basil-​y goodness. We ordered the following:
Ahi Tuna Sashimi: My personal favorite, perfectly prepared and complimented by traditional sushi condiments. The regular suze, paired with a salad, makes a great entrée.
Wagyu Ginger Dumplings: I had high hopes for these, but they disappointed. The texture of the dough was inconsistent, and the filling, unpleasantly mushy. The plate was swimming in a miso sauce that overwhelmed the delicate wagyu and normally distinct ginger.
Pumpkin Ravioli: a side order is 4 large ravioli, lighly buttered and topped with crumbled bacon and feta. The filling was nicely savory, and the dish was served al dente, which is sometimes tricky when prepping from frozen. A winner!
Bang Bang Shrimp: Ugh. Mayonnaise central with an overwhelming sriracha afterburn. This fried shrimp app, touted as a signature dish, is essentially, a deconstructed Bloomin’ Onion with shrimp. Which is great if that’s your thing, but, while it may be easy to turn out of the kitchen, it’s just a heavy, palate-​coating mess.
Overall, I’d visit again for the drinks and the atmosphere, both of which lend themselves nicely to an after-​work meeting or business function. The food is a little hit-​or-​miss for me, and reinforces the impression that, underneath the fancy trappings, Bonefish remains, essentially, a chain restaurant.

OMG!
About last night,
So I was able to attend my very first Unilocal event. I was late, which is something that really grinds my gears, but we arent going to talk about that lol I missed the first round of drinks but was still immediately served an amazingly fresh apple martini. This was the best apple martini I have ever tasted. It was made with fresh apples and not that artificial «green apple» flavoring (which I hate) with a dash of cinnamon… yum! great way to start the night. I had two great friends at the table with me, one of which was able to explain that we will be having 5 courses with drink pairings. First course came out and it was the Seared Ahi Tuna… phenomenal. It came along with all of the typical sushi accoutrements but none was necessary. That tuna needed nothing but its coat of sesame around the sear ahhhh it was seriously amazing. Second course was the Oysters Rockefeller, now i have never in my life eaten a cooked oyster, but this was great. So clean, well seasoned, and very well prepared. Thanks Bonefish, Ive experienced a very positive first with you! The third course was the Bang Bang Shrimp, of which is very popular, I cant say I see why. This statement does not mean it wasnt properly executed, the shrimp was cooked perfectly. I just couldnt get the idea of «Mac Sauce» out of my head (thanks to my tablemate!)…it was good, just not my thing. Fourth course, Chilean Seabass, Sea Scallops and Prawns with an amazing Mango Salsa on the side. WOOOOOOOOOOW! seriously everything on that plate was EXECUTED! just plain executed, hats off for that one. The last course was paired with a lovely Cabernet… cant remember the name but it was extremely floral, and fruity and awesome. My favorite and final course was the Lollipop Lamb chops… holy shit. So simple, so elegant, so perfect. Cooked a little more well than I like personally, but i am in no way shape of form complaining. Lastly we were served dessert. I am not a dessert person at all, but make/​decorate your own doughtnuts is a great touch to end the night. Not to mention two grown men at a table battling their plating skills like they were on Top Chef lol The espresso martini that was paired with it was mind blowing, I couldnt stop eating the sugar coat on the rim. Such a great job with that one. Man what an amazing night. I had soooo much fun. The staff is super friendly and warm and hilarious and nice. Bonefish is a place I would definitely frequent, its great there, go check it out!

The tuna was OMG. Oysters Topped with spinach and bacon and cheese. Bacon rules. The cheese over powered the flavor but I still loved them. On to jacobs creek
Moscato. I do not drink wine but it was light and fruity. The bang bang shrimp was good but expected more seeing it’s their signature dish. The Lamb is good. Not amazing but Ok. The tuna so far is my fav.

Hold up. Bonefish Brunch? An absolute NECESSITY.
I’m not sure where else (if anywhere) in Rhode Island you can get bottomless beverages paired with a very delicious brunch. The staff here is highly attentive and the food is prepared so perfectly. If TV’s are a must for you sports freaks out there, I’d highly recommend sitting at a booth in the bar area to catch the games as we did.
Short story short, you really cannot go wrong with a Sunday game day brunch at this spot. The views are gorgeous and I know I’ll be a regular this season. Cheers!

I probably would never have come here had it not been for a Unilocal Elite event but I’m glad that I went! The event paired drinks with a sampling of their appetizers and everything was delicious. The bang bang shrimp is delicious, and we were big fans of the ahi tuna and the DIY Doughnuts. Not a huge fan of the oysters with cheese and spinach in them, but even with them being my least favorite, they weren’t terrible. OH and the lamb chops! For a place that is all about the fish, the lamb chop lollipops were awesome.
We won a gift card and came back a few weeks later and were able to enjoy a few cocktails and appetizers on them! The next time I’m in the mood for some seafood (and the mood to venture out of Providence) bonefish grill will definitely be an option.

Went for dinner last Friday night. This is not the first time I’ve been to Bonefish Grill in fact it’s a go to restaurant for us. I had the prix fix menu which included a salad and dessert. My husband had a salad and the ahi tuna appetizer as his entrée. We shared the oysters appetizer special which was fantastic. The food was great as always and the atmosphere perfect for and pending of the work week dinner out. Not too quiet and not too noisy. We also shared a bottle of wine. Service was friendly and professional. I highly recommend you get the cinnamon sugar donuts. They come with a squeeze bottle of caramel and chocolate to go with. yummy! The bill came to $ 92… We had an online coupon for $ 10 off
