Bonefish Grill

I gave it 3 stars because my expectations were high. We ordered a number of things to try and although not bad at all, they were all bland. The fries were nice and crisp, and the sauce on them was good though and we enjoyed that a lot. The pasta was tasteless and the mussels were also just creamy and not tasty.

I had a horrible experience here. I have been a chef for 8 years and I would never send anything out to a table that I would not consume myself. I ordered the steak and crab cake. The steak, potatoes and asparagus were all to my liking. The "crab cake" looked so bad I didn't even taste it. I was offered another one to be sent out, but if the first one looked that bad I didn't want to risk seeing a second one.

We had a 7pm reservation the day it snowed. I called the restaurant to make sure it was open and our reservation was confirmed. We arrived at the restaurant and took our time ordering over drinks. Our entrees arrived while we were still enjoying the appetizer at which time we were informed that the kitchen was closing at 8pm and that if we wanted dessert we should order it then. I get the they wanted their employees to get home safely, however there were multiple opportunities to let us know of their early closing BEFORE the entrees came out. We spent a lot of money on drinks. Appetizers, entrees dessert and coffee to be rushed. It put a damper on what would have been a 4 star meal.

I have never had an experience where all the food was just outright bad. The steak is no larger than a chicken tender from chick FIL a. I asked for medium well and they gave me well done. Could barely cut it and it was burnt. The salmon cake was also not good. To be a seafood place I was highly disappointed it wasn't good. I did really like the asparagus. No one at my table liked their food but they ate it anyway not me though. Nothing was good but the asparagus. The waiter didn't come again until everyone was done their food so I spent the entire night starving. After of course I didn't have to pay for the meal and they took it back. But the fact she didn't come by to check until everyone was done wasn't good, because if something was wrong...which it was ... Then it couldn't be fixed. And I'm a very understanding person but we were the last 3 tables there so it wasn't like the waiter was overwhelmed she just didn't come. The manager offered to make it again but why would I make everyone wait after finishing their food to cook again? I will never go there again. While we were all discussing how bad the food was they said someone else use to own it awhile ago and maybe that's why it went down the dumps. I'm not sure it was my first and last time there.
