Bonefish Grill

Bonefish is one of my favorite places to go for seafood. The service is always very nice; the waiters and waitresses know just about everything about every menu item and can tell you anything you want to know right off the top of their head. They’re very attentive and polite and the atmosphere is trendy and cool.
To start your waiter will bring delicious, doughy, bread and oil, which is so good it’s addicting. If you’re looking for a starter you can’t go wrong with the Bang Bang Shrimp, my favorite item on their menu. It’s a sort of creamy, spicy, fried shrimp served on a bed of shredded lettuce and with chop sticks to eat. The sauce is so delicious that we regularly eat the lettuce till the bowl is dry.
If you enjoy seafood there is literally nothing on the menu that isn’t fantastic. The Chilean Sea Bass and Rainbow Trout are two of my favorites. The menu can be pricey, but don’t let that scare you off; if you’re on a tight budget you can opt for the equally delicious Bang Bang Tacos, Blackened Fish Tacos, or Kobe Beef Burger, all of which ring in at around $ 13. You can easily have a couple of drinks, an appetizer, and two entrées for about $ 50, which isn’t bad for the food and service you’re getting.
The dessert menu is equally fantastic, you can’t go wrong with anything they make. Just be sure to order some coffee with it, something about their coffee is simply divine!
Bonefish is a great place to go for a romantic evening or for brunch with friends on Sunday. In fact, quite a while back, two of my very close friends were engaged at this Buttermilk Bonefish location. We were floored by the service we were given! The staff brought us a round of drinks in the house and champagne for my friends. Later after we left we all took a very long time saying our goodbyes outside near the patio furniture and the staff brought us even more drinks. It was very nice of them and we felt that they were truly happy for our friends and celebrating with us. You can’t beat that service!

Everything was great, from the drinks to the service and the food was excellent. I got the Norwegian salmon. It was out of this world! I’ll definitely be going back.

We were greeted at the door immediately and then seated. Our waitress was great and food was delicious, will definitely be back. We started with bang bang shrimp, then had fish and chips, lobster tail, lamb chops and pork chops. Not a bad thing on the plate

Our second time to stop in this restaurant. The second time we really enjoyed our food. The salmon was seasoned just right and the pineapple jalapeño martini, perfect! It’s got a nice atmosphere, too

Excellent! I had the tuna steak medium rare. Prepared perfectly! Our server was just outstanding and very knowledgable about everything (our group asked a lot of questions). We all were so full after eating but he somehow talked us into desserts. So glad he did because they were incredible! This is the 3^rd Bonefish I have eaten at, and by far the best!

What a great dinner we had the artic char and the rainbow trout so delish!!! We had the coconut pie for dessert. Jesse our server was the greatest such awesome customer service Thanks Jesse!!!

I had the Tuesday trio tonight. This is an awesome deal for $ 17.91 you get a salad lobster tail two sides and a dessert. I sat at the bar and the bartender was very friendly and very good. His name is Freddy great bartender. I would recommend the bonefish Grill for anybody traveling to this area or anybody who lives here.

De-​licious! Had one of the best dinners I have had in years. Had a girls’ night that started with Blackberry Sangria that I wished I had the recipe for. Bacon wrapped scallops with mango salsa were very good. For dinner I had pork chop with potatoes au gratin and steamed broccoli; even the broccoli was the best I’ve had in years! Even though my appetizer took a little long to arrive and we had to ask for bread, my friend and I had an amazing dinner. Everything tasted remarkable, our server was very friendly, and I look forward to coming back. It will be for a special occasion only because the prices are a bit high, but you get what you pay for.

We visited this location for Valentines Day. We went Sat the 13^th of Feb. We had reservations at McCormick and Schmick in Cincy but after reading reviews here on Unilocal changed our reservation to Bonefish since we had good experiences in the past.
We drove over from Lawrenceburg for our 4:00 reservation. The entire place was almost empty except for a couple tables and one large party. Up until about 5:00 they were very slow.
We ordered an appetizer of bacon wrapped scallops with mango salsa. The waiter came back about 15 minutes later apologizing for apps taking so long and we both ordered Oscar Wild Mahi Mahi entrees.
By now they were picking up some and everyone but our table was receiving salads and bread with some sort of dipping sauce. The large party was served. I asked the waiter if we could get bread since it had been a while and he said yes. About 30 minutes after we ordered a different person brought us our appetizer and entrée at the same time.
We asked that person for bread. We ate the appetizer and it was good although it was cooled to the point it was obvious it had sat there waiting while the entrée was cooked. Plus in my experience no one serves the app and the entrée together.
Our waiter stopped back by and said «Did your app get here before your entrée?» I told him no they came together and he laughed and said he was afraid that would happen.
He then disappeared and only passed by while cleaning off or serving other tables around us. The entrees are what earned this a 2 star because the Mahi was delicious. The appetizer was good but lukewarm scallops arent really appetizing. But we didnt have time to send them back.
The bread NEVER arrived and there was no apology for that.
So an $ 85 meal was pretty much ruined. It seemed to us that the waiter was way more interested in taking care of the large party than our two topper. The manager stopped by several tables around us checking if everything was okay but walked right past us while helping bus other tables.
I actually managed restsurants for almost 30 years and things sometimes go wrong so I understand that. But it did seem like we werent important to them because there were only two of us and they were concentrating on the group and the reservations that were during normal dinner hours.
I left a tip but less than 10% and left a note as to why. He did serve us and deserved something but we felt we should have stuck with McCormick and Scmick and most likely will next time. I’m not sure we will be back.

My boyfriend and I eat here quite often, it is kind of expensive but it’s SO worth it! The mussels are delicious, save the bread and dip it in the mussel sauce, trust me! I love how the fish changes quite often.
One time they had Wild Caught Alaskan Salmon and it was literally the best salmon I have ever had! It was actually SALMON colored! Not pink like farm raised salmon all the other restaraunts have. I was like «This is what grizzly bears eat!» Love this place.

Food was really really good. We were very pleased with our orders and the service was above and beyond. Definitely will always recommend this place to everyone.

Sunday brunch… Need I say more? Chipotle Bloody Mary with celery and bacon and a spicy sugared rim… Did I mention bacon? So you take a drink and get the sweetness of the rim mixed with house made mix and a slice of bacon that literally hits your nose making your mouth water. Just order one and see for yourself! I ordered the California omelet with the steamed asparagus as a side. It was delicious and lite! The only down fall is the plain multigrain toast… Serve that with a little flare, some butter or something maybe a spritz of sugar and cinnamon! Finished it all off with a hand squeezed ruby red grapefruit martini with sugar on the rim! Delicious! The bartender Freddy was fabulous very efficient and friendly makes a damn good drink!

Went here the other day. The food and service were very good!

Have gone back 3 times in the last 3wks while at my client’s site for the Hooked on Tuesdays specials. Have had EXCELLENT meals each time, from the incredible… yes I said INCREDIBLE … house salad, to the YUMMY desserts!!!
Upscale, well prepared, savory-​delicious dishes — Bonefish has merited my first ever 5-​star approval! :-D

Bring back the Lobster Ragoon!!!

Awesome service from the hostess to the manager! I’ve been to Bonefish in FL numerous times but my husband had never been. Unfortunately he neglected to tell them to cook his Kobe beef burger medium and it came out well done and even though we freely admitted it was his error the manager comped his burger. I had the Bang Bang Shrimp Eggs Benedict and it was AMAZING!!! I chose the scalloped potatoes to go with it and was not disappointed. Everything was seasoned perfectly, this from someone who usually salts everything especially potatoes. The bread they served before with dipping oil was delicious! We will be back!!! The servers were attentive with refills too!

This Bonefish location is light years ahead of the Norwood location, so if you’ve had a questionable experience there, please give Crescent Springs a try. Service, atmosphere and food are great. I went for dinner and loved the place and the food (shrimp and scallops) so much that I brought my boys there for Easter brunch. I’ve been doing the Whole30 program since February, so eating out has been quite a challenge, but the folks at Bonefish are wonderful. They were more than happy to cook my omelet in clarified butter so I could stay in compliance. I will be back over and over again!

It was a cool November evening when I first arrived at the Bonefish Grill in Kentucky. The strain of a long day at work was prominent on my face and my five-​o-​clock shadow told the story of a man filled with internal strife and external responsibility.
As I entered the restaraunt, I approached a podium, behind which two bashful young women resided, and requested a table for one. «Are you sure, just one?» One of the ladies asked. Yes, I was sure. I tried to make a joke of it, but this would only be the beginning of my journey to find freedom from the stigmas I would face that night.
I was seated in the center of the dimly lit establishment, a nice touch to the overall ambiance that provided a warm tranquil feeling of peace, surrounded by larger tables of groups leering at my lonely disposition. The waitress approached and asked if I would like a beverage as I waited for the rest of my «party» to arrive.
«The parties all here!» I said as I chuckled trying to encourage pleasant small talk. «Oh,» the waitress said in an awkward manner which was polluted with undertones of judgement «we serve Coke products or I can get you something from the bar.» A Coke would suffice for tonight; despite the temptation the great array of fairly priced spirits the restaurant provided.
When the waitress returned, impatient and tired from what was likely the middle of a long term, I ordered two appetizers. The waitress glared at my thin, unassuming frame with exasperation. «Those are designed for groups, will a group be joining you?» she asked plainly. She knew the answer. I couldn’t help but feel she was testing me; mocking me. «Do they come in individual platters?» I inquired. «No,» she replied in a victorious tone. I would not back down at this. I knew I had to stay strong and resumed my original order.
First came the bread, then the pile of ‘Bang, Bang Shrimp’, and finally the bowl of arranged muscles and vegetables. I looked at the bounty before me with longing eyes. I then noticed a small white box on the edge of the table with some crude drawing and markings on it. It was a to-​go box, already prepared, assuming my failure to complete my meal designed for a «party» of diners.
I now knew I had a mission before me. I began to eat all of the food which was present. It was fantastic. The flavors danced on my palette in a carefree frolic of pure joy and ecstacy. Each bite was greater than the last. Soon, I had finished the muscles. Then the shrimp. And finally the bread and Coke.
The waitress returned, smug and powerful, and asked if I wanted a refill. Now was the time. I knew I needed to assert my dominance. «Yes, thank you. And could I have the desert menu?» She stared at me perplexed. «I’m sorry, I didn’t want to pressure you,» she attested «since you have so much left over to take home as it is.» I slowly opened the box she had prepared for me to reveal it was empty.
Shock, disbelief, and a twinge of horror met the waitresse’s face. She knew she had been bested. My dominance had prevailed. I glanced back at the timid girls at the podium and they dared not make eye contact. «The desert menu, please.» I continued.
I surveyed the menu and ordered some sort of devilishly chocolate ordeal of which I can hardly remember the taste. This part of my meal was eaten out of will, not hunger.
I left the restaurant with my stomach fringing damaged from overuse. Though I also left the establishment an empowered soul who bested the judgemental assaults thrust upon me by a society that rejects lone dining.
Overall, I rate Bonefish Grill 4 stars. The food and atmosphere are fantastic and I’ll likely dine there again. I only hope my journey and victory there will further progress destroying the unfair assumptions made toward and about parties of one.

We were at the restaurant early on a Thursday thus there were very few customers. We were promptly seated and our water was there almost instantly. The menu is extensive plus there a re specials. We both ordered the tilapia with mine being blackened and my souses being grilled. Both came out perfect and were nice pieces of fish. Served with french greens beans which were delicious. The other plate had broccoli which too was cooked just perfectly. The waiter was very attentive and our drink glasses were always being topped off. This was an excellent ding experience this evening. The restaurant is very nice inside.

I sat at the bar for a quick dinner while I was traveling for work.
Service– great! I was promptly greeted. One of the servers gave me a great recommendation to try their Mahi mahi. She also recommended trying a couple of their sauces to go with the fish on the side. I had to ask for bread and water, but other than tha t, service was excellent.
Quality– House salad was a perfect start to the meal and came out very quickly. Mahi mahi was grilled just right and was not overdone! Potato au gratin was very cheesy and hearty. It was sinful. The vegetable side of the day was a mix of garbanzo beans/​spinach/​tomatoes and it was also unbelievable. I could have eaten a bowl of it.
Overall a good dinner. I would definitely go back!
