Bonefish Grill

The food is always good but they need to work on their customer service (i.e waitstaff and hostesses). more

Calamari was nice, excellent sauce. I chose their Arctic Char special and then regretted it for the rest of the evening. Meal was overpriced, bland, and obviously tainted meal. (I'm suspect of the chorizo topping) Hopefully the health department will pay them a visit sooner rather than later. Stay away from the specials because they are definitely serving food that is going bad. Thank you for giving me food poisoning Bonefish Grill. Pros: Nice Atmosphere, Great Calamari Cons: Serving Expired Food, Afraid of Seasoning more

Bonefish is living on an outdated reputation as far as I am concerned. Typically, dinner for two of us costs between $70-90, and it's a chain restuarant, nothing unique or special. The seafood is ho-hum, to say the least. Fish, regardless of the type, tends to be presented in thin slices and, on a couple of occasions, has been less than fresh. The menu is very limited and provides few choices. The management seems unconcerned about its treatment of customers. On a recent visit, we were finally seated 40 minutes after our reservation time and then were rushed by the manager to leave so that others could have our seats. At most decent restaurants, the late seating and the rush to get rid of us would have garnered a complimentary drink from management, but all we got was the sense that we'd been an imposition when we arrived and that we'd been booted out at our departure. We will not be back EVER. Pros: good bang-bang shrimp Cons: expensive for only so-so drinks and food more

Having made a reservation EIGHT days in advance for a party of 12, and being assured that I did not need to confirm it, the first members of our party to arrive are told there was no reservation made. The next group to arrive are told the reservaton had been cancelled, which it HAD NOT!! When I inquired what seemed to be the problem, the manager( I do not know the name, but he was on duty Sat., 5/16 @ 6:00p) insisted that the reservation ( made in my name) had been cancelled, that he personally had received the call,and he remembered it was a reservation for a party for ""two digits"". He continued that in spite of ""my cancellation"" our party was being accommodated as well as possible...which meant a tight squeeze at tables angled in such a way it was imposssible to see or converse with those not nearest to you. There was no apology inferring that the restaurant had made an error, but insistanced that in spite of the ""cancellation"" ,we were, nevertheless, being accommodated without having to wait!! At no time did the manager approach the table to apologize for the obvious error or for the inconvenience, and certainly there was no compensation of any kind offered. Yet in spite of a sour taste of subtle arrogance and indifference, we did enjoy a good meal served by an attentive wait staff; but the evening certainly left us less than satisfied that we had chosen this location; and very frustrated that a well planned evening for a friend's birthday was begun in such a upsetting manner. I would hope that other patrons never have to endure such a poor attitude from someone who represents this restaurant. Pros: Wait Staf and Food Quality Cons: Managerial attitude and reservation mishandlling more

We have been to Bonefish 2-3 times with so-so results each time. While the atmosphere and decor are nice, I don't find the food to be anything special. Everyone raves about the bang-bang shrimp, but I find it to be greasy with not much heat. The bread is good (and warm on arrival at the table), but the worst thing about our most recent visit is that everything was incredibly salty and oversauced. Both my husband and I agreed that we left feeling like our lips were puckered from the salt and we needed to drink a gallon water to quench our thirst. We find the service to be adequate. Pros: Nice bar area Cons: Tables are very close together. Noisy, extremely salty food. more

I first went to a Bonefish Grill in Baton Rouge LA. It was wonderful! I was there with the Rad Cross working on the Katrina DR. We had a large group (26). We had reservation and were seated and served promptly. It was a wonderful experience. The Bonefish Grill in Cary was no different. The group was smaller but the service was still great and the food wonderful. The bar here is a little slow but still a good experience. Pros: The food and service is excellent! The place is really nice with a different quality to it. Cons: None that I see really. It is a bit pricey but that is to be expected with seafood and a higher class restaurant. more

if you want a honest opinion/experience here it is.. the fish that my wife got, the salmon tasted absolutely disgusting had to sent it back and just got a refund she didn't have the stomach to handle anything else after that. the tilapia that i got was undercooked and extremely thin no meat whats so ever. thats probably the most amazing part of our experience in this dump, trying to figure out how they could fillet a fish that paper thin!!!!! to top it off lousy service, arrogant little waitresses thinking that getting $15hr(tips & salary) makes them extra special, don't fall over the hype like i did. do yourself and your wife/family a favor and keep driving a little more i don't know where & don't really care...i know i will be though next time. Pros: great location - Weston Pkwy is no doubt the best part of Cary Cons: disgusting overpriced food, avg/lousy service more

went to Bonefish for the first time with a date who had been there many times. Had reservations for7pm--it was a wed and very busy.Were sat at 7:15pm. Server was friendly and prompt. Only glitch was my date was not served his wine he requested. Came out about 20 minutes later. Server said they had to open a new bottle and let it cool down. Food was delish-my fish had great flavor and the sauces they serve with it our awesome. Key Lime pie was tastey too. I had fish at Ruth Chris the other day and it was a complete disappointment-did not even compare. Will go again. Pros: great food,price Cons: tables close together-obstacle course to get to your table more

Numerous people have told me I have to try Bonefish, so I finally did this weekend. We had reservations and were seated right away. The first thing I noticed was the tables are pretty close together so you do have to squeeze around people to get to your table. Also, it gets really loud, so wouldn't be a good place for a first date or something were you'd actually want to hear each other. Our server was fantastic, knowledgeable about the menu, a wine drinker, and he checked on us throughout the meal. The calamari appetizer was just OK, a little too much cornmeal for my taste and the sauces it was served with were very sweet. I had the pistachio crusted trout and the fish itself was fine. It didn't have as much flavor as I would have expected though, the breading was a little heavy and mostly you could just taste the oil it was cooked in. I never would have guessed pistachio nuts were used because I couldn't taste them. The side dishes were however really good, I recommend the potatoes au gratin, not a side I see offered very often and it was a nice change from regular old mashed potatoes. I don't recommend getting the Key Lime pie. It doesn't have the right consistency, the filling is more like pudding which comes out droopy and had a bit of a grainy texture. The server mentioned they had changed the recipe and were using less gelatin, but in my opinion a key lime pie should stand up and not run all over my plate. My overall opinion is the restaurant looks nice, is not overly expensive, the quality of the food is a little better than average but not enough to make me really rave about it. Pros: better than average chain food fare, a good value Cons: seating is crowded, noise level is high more

My and my finance' have eaten at Bone Fish on several occasions. The food has always been excellent in my opinion. However the bar staff is less than friendly at the North Hills location. They have the same bar staff they've always had on a Saturday night. We normally go in have a couple drinks while we wait for a table. I got carded Saturday night(which I don't have a problem with) I handed the guy my ID and he showed it to the other bartender (both of these guys have served me before) and they denied me service. Instead of making a big deal out of it we simply walked out and went somewhere else. Where the bartenders are a little friendlier. We went to Bogart's, which have better martini's if you ask me. So if you have a faded ID not even think about going in there for a drink. more

Never have I had better food. We have dine at all the upscale restaurant in the area and none of them standup to the quality of food served at Bonefish. The service was great. We had dined at An, next door, and there is a night and day difference in these two restaurants. Pros: Great Food and Service Cons: Food took too long more

My love is Seafood, and these guys have brought it to me, THANK YOU ;) Pros: Great Seafood more

THIS PLACE IS THE BEST IN THIS AREA!!! WE HAVE DINED EVERYWHERE IN THE RTP AREA AND HAVE FOUND EITHER GOOD FOOD, GOOD SERVICE, OR GOOD ATMOSPHERE, BUT THIS PLACE HAS IT ALL. Pros: EVERYTHING WAS AWSOME Cons: NEED MORE KICK TO THEIR DRINKS more

We have been there at least 5 times in last 3 months period and as a family group this place has everything for any body between age group of 29 to 55. Pros: Exciting Menu items, must try Appetizers, Good Food and well worth the PRICE $$ Cons: Avoid Groups bigger than 8 as they are not well served due to tight seating. more

we go to the Bonefish about once a month to get our seafood ""fix"". We always enjoy the food, washed down with an appropriate glass of wine or beer. Our last trip we had the alaskan salmon which was perfect. Bring a group, family or significant other, you'll have a great time Pros: Great seafood place Cons: sometimes busy more

THEY KEPT US WAITING AT THE BAR FOR OVER AN HOUR (OF COURSE WE ORDERED A ROUND OF DRINKS WHICH WAS A HUGE MISTAKE WHEN YOU GO TO A RESTAURANT WITH THE MENTALITY OF BONEFISH). WE HAD BEEN THERE A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE PAST AND ALTHOUGH THE FOOD WAS NOTHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT, IT WAS PLEASANT AND THE SERVICE WAS ATTENTIVE. HOWEVER WITH A 90 MINUTE WAIT AND FOOD WHICH HAS DETERIORATED IN BOTH TASTE AND PRESENTATION, WE'LL GO TO FINS FROM NOW ON. YEAH IT COSTS MORE BUT AT LEAST YOU KNOW THE QUALITY OF THE FOOD IS FIRST RATE. THE MANAGER OF BONEFISH WAS VERY RUDE TO US WHEN WE ASKED ABOUT THE TABLE WAIT- THIS WAS 10-21-06- I DON'T RECALL ANYTHING MUCH GOING ON THAT WEEKEND, BUT THEN WE WE FINALLY SAT DOWN AT 8PM THERE WERE 4 EMPTY TABLES THAT STAYED EMPTY THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF OUR MEAL. THE RESTAURANT IS SO DIMLY LIT THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ THE MENU. Cons: MANAGER SERVICE/LIGHTING/WAIT LIST POORLY MANAGED/MEDIOCRE FOOD more

I just had the best meal I have ever eaten in a restaurant. I had the Atlantic Salmon with garlic lemon sauce, my daughter had the scallops and shrimp with all the dipping sauces they offer and loved every one of them, son in law had Lobster tail and we all enjoyed our meals. There was nothing they served us that was not the best we have eaten and we eat out a lot. I would highly recommend dining there. We brought my 2yr old grand daughter and she acted up a little and was treated with respect and I can recommend that it is a child friendly restaurant. The service was the best ever. I am looking forward to a return visit. Pros: Food, Service, Parking more

Can't say enough about this place. I love this place--the restaurant in Cary. They have good seafood and the BangBang Shrimp is DELICIOUS! The spaghetti squash side dish was so good I had to look up the recipe. I'm going again next week. Can't wait. Pros: food, ambience Cons: sometimes the lighting is too low more

The resturant was excellent. There were a few things I would have considered when building to have been done differently-making the resturant bigger and tables longer but other than that i loved everything about it. It was just hard to fit 7 people on a 4 person table. But Was very nice and will be back just with less company. more

We made reservations for Sat. at 6:45, arrived at 6:30 and was seated at 6:35pm. The ""Bang Bang shrimp"" appetizer was fantastic; it was ""bangin"". My wife got the Gulf Shrimp and Scallops and I got the Talapia and we were totally satisfied with the meal. Everything was cooked to perfection and the portions were plentiful. The service was above average. Pros: seating time, food portion, service Cons: quite noisy, snugged seating, ran out of Salmon more
