Bonefish Grill

Very good experience at bonefish grill! My boyfriend and I stopped in the other night because we had a coupon for a free bang bang shrimp. The ambiance is very serene. The lighting is dim and the atmosphere warm. They had pretty good drink specials on house wine and drafts for $ 4. So I of course went with a Blue Moon and started with the bang bang shrimp as an appetizer. The bang bang shrimp was awesome! …It was so good in fact I had to order the bang bang shrimp tacos. My boyfriend ordered the cheeseburger with bacon on the advice of our server. The cheeseburger was phenomenal! It was juicy, succulent, cooked and topped to perfection. I wish I had ordered it that’s how good it was. Overall we had a great experience at Bonefish and can’t wait to go back!

The food was great. My boyfriend & I went on New Years Day for dinner, and the place was fairly busy. We both had the filet mignon, which was perfectly cooked (I liked medium-​well). The crab cakes were DELICIOUS, as well as the mashed potatoes, which I think were garlic. Would DEFINITELY go back.

I wasn’t expecting much, they are a chain and I haven’t heard good things in the past few years. But I have to say they won me over. The food was great, the drinks were great, and the service was quick and friendly. There was a great jalapeño martini, don’t remember the exact name, but it was great and like nothing I’ve had before. They would have gotten 5 stars if it weren’t so noisy. It wasn’t completely full, but the noise is very loud, I think they need to rethink their floorplan or something.

Amazing!!! Amazing! Amazing! I do not have enough praise for BoneFish! They made my birthday special! Especially the service! The phenomenal food is an addition to the praise!
Our server Chad is one of the best I have had! Not pushy but checking on us to make sure everything was ok! Our water was never less than half empty! He was a rock star! And super personal with service! He also kept us informed on specials and was great at recommending items to us.
Bang bang shrimp, the best way to describe is addictive. It’s not too spicy and you just want to keep eating them!
Rainbow trout with mango salsa, spaghetti squash and pumpkin ravioli, wonderful! The mango sauce didn’t overpower the fish it added to it! I love that they have spaghetti squash! And it’s cooked correct!
Grilled swordfish with pumpkin ravioli. Swordfish was perfectly done! Grilled to perfection and they didn’t skimp on the portion. The pumpkin ravioli was amazing with feta cheese and crunchy onion bits. I would highly recommend it!
Cheesecake for my birthday! Delicious! They brought it out on a chocolate and caramel covered plate! Yum!
We splurged and got the pumpkin cream brûlée. It had fresh whipped cream. Wow!!! So creamy and tasted like pumpkin pie crossed with custard! Exceeded my expectations!
This was such a wonderful meal to celebrate my birthday! Thanks BoneFish! You made this an awesome night! We can’t wait to come back!

I had been saving myself to experience this place, and while on business, I decided to have a quiet dinner alone. I think the host was trying to load the dining area from the kitchen to the front door, which was unfortunate because as guest #3 of the evening, I was seated right by the swinging kitchen doors. «JUST one tonight, Miss?» the server asked. «Yes, where is my parlor maid, I need to adjust my bustle…» Can’t anyone eat alone in this nation of women who can’t go to the bathroom unless paired with a friend?!! I had the Pad Thai with shrimp. It was so spicy I couldn’t eat it. You would think returning a whole plate of inedible food would elicit some response. Nope. So, I promise to try the chain one more time in St. Louis before chucking it in altogether.

Love love love this place! Food is always delicious and had a pineapple martini that was off the hook. It is pricy but well worth the money.

Great atmosphere! Love the bang bang shrimp and shrimp and scallops with mango salsa. Sea Bass is most definitely worth trying as well! Bread is complementary but you have to ask for it. Wait staff is superb.

We have loved coming to Bonefish. It’s a wonderful experience, especially when you get Ron to serve you. He is great at getting the perfect wine for your meal. When you go make sure to ask for him.

ATTEMPTED to celebrate my brother’s birthday here. Our whole party hadn’t even arrived before they cut the entire table off from ordering any alcohol. Saying it was for the «safety of the restaurant» & to keep everything «under control». Waaaait? Whaaaat?! It completely threw everyone off guard. If you have ever been there you would know the atmosphere is relaxing and quiet and there was nothing «out of control» about our table or any other table. I usually do not pull this card but it was racism at its finest, stereotypical assumptions that our table would eventually become «out of control». I’ve worked at numerous restaurants, enough to know that you cut off guests not an entire table of people who have not even ordered drinks yet. Smh. Horrible customer service. We did leave the waitress a $ 100 tip though because it was not her fault the general manager was a racist bastard! Sorry but not sorry. The GM did attempt to cover his tracks by offering to provide us our first round of shots at the bar down the street. Weird, since the whole ordeal was supposedly for our safety …Won’t be coming back here. #neithershouldyou #thisplaceiseverythingwrongwiththeworldin2015 #itsseriouslysad #theyneedtobeputoutofbusiness #immediately #wedontwanttheminourneighborhood #promotinghate #therewerekidswithus #andtheytriedtosendustoabar #smh #horriblepeople

Ok sockeye salmon was great. Add a spinach blue cheese sauce. Fantastic. For a «chain» food great and good service. One suggestion it Halibut season!!!

We have given this location 5 tries. It’s time to give up on it. Every single time we’ve had a problem with the food not being prepared as requested. Our server would have to be flagged down and the repaired food returned after others were finished. There is no offer to make it right or take anything off for our wait. I don’t even mind paying for food I’ve eaten, but at least offer to comp. a wine to let a customer know you care. An issue every single time shows that wait and cook staff are poorly trained.
We love the Bonefish in Cape Coral, FL, so it’s not a company problem, it’s WDM’s problem. We won’t be back.

Weekend afternoon bartender a 9! Good personality and appropriately flirty. I had a non dirty martini and it was well made. Bang Bang shrimp tacos were fantastic! I would stop back just for them. Right mix of healthy fresh ingredients with the wow of the shrimp. Great place for a quick lunch before hitting Jordan Creek for shopping. Definitely on the schedule for future lunch dates. Only drawback was group of servers around the hostess station gossiping. It was uncomfortable to walk through on my way to the bar. Everything else 5 stars!

Love the bang bang shrimp, pot stickers, dirty martini’s… And pretty much everything here. Never had a bad meal. 4 stars because the bartenders are always having a dumb personal conversation that I’d rather not hear.

Go for bang bang shrimp night! Such a great deal and even my non-​shrimp loving friends love it. Make sure you ask for the bread — it’s complimentary, but they only bring it out if you ask.

The highlight here is the seafood. Very fresh and done just right!
best value: Tuesday lobster special!
must try: any of the seafood there, both in terms of the taste and freshness
service: very cozy and friendly, one of the servers can even speak some Chinese!

The new items added to the Bonefish menu are great! I ordered a spicy tuna bowl (premium sushi grade, sesame-​seared rare, avocado, sweet chile sauce, jasmine rice, and passion fruit salsa), and my S/​O ordered the rib eye steak with the creamy mushroom and bacon sauce, which came with a side of a fresh seasonal vegetable and your choice of a side (he opted for the garlic whipped potatoes). Bread and herb pesto were complimentary. My S/​O loved his dish (I didn’t taste it, so I can’t give my opinion on it). My spicy tuna bowl was delicious. I felt like there wasn’t that much tuna, which was a bit disappointing, but the great quality of the food made up for it. Shredded carrots and green onions are served with it also (but it wasn’t mentioned on the menu). Sweet chili sauce is your typical «Mae Ploy» brand sweet chili sauce. The passion fruit salsa was actually really good! I thought it would be a bit weird, but it was a good contrast to the spicy chili sauce with the tuna! Overall the food was delicious and I highly recommend.

I’m from Florida and I love seafood and even though this is a chain I give this place 5 stars because its one of the only places in Iowa that you can get quality seafood from. They always have a chefs specialty menu which is usually what I order from. The environment is always happening and the bartenders and servers are always attentive. Splash is another location is Des Moines that has good seafood that I believe is just a local restaurant.

I really, really wish I could’ve given this restaurant 4 or 5 stars and it certainly had the potential, but service was it’s biggest downfall. Bonefish has been in West Des Moines for a while where this type of issue shouldn’t be a problem. If they were short-​staffed or had new trainees, it definitely would’ve been more understanding if they were honest about it, but that was not the case today.
We were a party of 7 going to Bonefish Grill for the first time for a special milestone birthday. They even asked if it was for a special occasion when we made our reservations by phone. However, nothing special really happened during this lunch except for disappointing service and long wait times. We were seated quickly, but it probably took 15+ minutes for all of us to get water and even longer and more confirmations for our requested beverages to arrive. The food and menu were delicious, but many of our entrees arrived at just room temperature. Bonefish has the potential to really shine, but this type of service when the dining room isn’t even half full is just difficult to understand or believe. Service was scattered and disappointing. Let’s get it together, Bonefish Grill!

I thought I knew what I was coming for but totally impressed by the NEW menu!
I love BoneFish and have been to my fair share and give this location two thumbs up!
The new menu is really worth trying out as it tastes wonderful and selections are huge.
What I loved: The Cold Snap Cucumber Cosmo served in a frozen glass made entirely of ice, Bang Bang Shrimp Flatbread, Twisted Edamame Hummus, Cilantro Lime Shrimp Salad and finally the New S’mores Flatbread.
Make a reservation if you are going on a Friday or Saturday — this location is quite popular!

Ate here last night around 10 p.m. I like the fact that it’s open late.
Most dishes are priced in the mid-​teens to twenty dollar range, with appetizers around ten bucks. We all really enjoyed our dishes; however, my boyfriend was a little disappointed with the serving size.
The bang bang shrimp appetizer was flavorful and had a crunch that I liked. The complimentary bread was great. I had the lobster thermidor special while my boyfriend had the wolf fish with spinach. Our friend ordered the longfin tilapia and really liked it, but I didn’t try any of his so I can’t vouch for it.
My lobster thermidor had two meaty claws of lobster with my mahi mahi. I liked my dish, but I actually really liked my boyfriend’s wolf fish compared to my mahi mahi. The former had a lighter, buttery flavor. I’m not the biggest fan when it comes to cooked fish, but our fish was done perfectly — flaky and juicy. The only thing that I didn’t like was that all of our dishes came with a generous helping of diced carrots. I hate carrots, but that’s a personal preference.
Our server was great and checked up on us often. The dining room was dimmed with candles at each table. It’d be a nice place to have a dinner date. I was surprised to find out that it was a chain. It’s a shame that they don’t have any California locations.
