BoneFish was created when the two founders set out to create a unique dining experience. One that would help take the mystery out of fish. On January 15, 2000 in St. Petersburg, Florida, the first Bonefish Grill was born. People turned out in droves! The success of their vision has generated restaurant growth that has taken them throughout the Southeast and Northeastern coasts, and today Bonefish Grill has begun expanding throughout the U.S.
Bonefish Grill recently sent me a $25 Gift Card for their restaurant, along with an additional $25 American Express Card that I could use at any local restaurant of my choice. That way I could compare BoneFish to any resturant of my liking and not one that they picked.
My very first impression of this resturant was fantastic! We were greeted immediately upon entering the resturant and the atmosphere was just so relaxing, warm and inviting. I loved that we didn’t have to wait in order to be seated. We did have our son with us, and alot of times it is really an inconvientant to have to wait with a two year old. They set us on the bar side, which at first I thought would be loud, but to my surprise it wasn’t at all.
The food was absolutely delicious and the presentation was beautiful! I started with a cosmopolitan, which arrived right away and was done to perfection. For the main meal, I chose the Fillet Mignon with a side of steamed asparagus. The Fillet Mignon would literally melt in your mouth.
One thing that I wanted to point out about Bonefish is that they have a great little children’s menu. This is important to me with having a little one. Alot of resturants that are similar to bonefish do not offer one and it really makes it hard to order for a two year old. Also, the staff treated our son as if he were simply a little person. They asked him directly what he would like to drink and what he would like to order. That really means alot to me. Just because he is two doesn’t mean that he isn’t a person. So many resturants never take the time to include the little one.
When I compare the service, atmosphere and food to the other local restaurant in my area, Bonefish really takes the cake. The service we received there was over the top! And the time we spent there was relaxing and enjoyable and my family would go back at any time! Actually I should say that we have already been back!
