The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor, with every dish clearly prepared with care and quality ingredients. The drinks were just as impressive—perfectly made, refreshing, and well balanced. What really tied everything together was the atmosphere: welcoming, relaxed, and the perfect place to unwind or enjoy good company. From start to finish, the experience was enjoyable, and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for great food, great drinks, and a great vibe definitely a good date night spot

I recently visited Bonefish Grill for a date and ordered the grilled Mahi Mahi with lemon caper butter, sautéed greens, garlic whipped potatoes, a lobster tail on the side, and a house white.
The service was polite and attentive, and while nothing was wrong on that front, the food itself did not meet expectations for the price point. The flavors across the plate felt muted, and the dish as a whole lacked the balance and seasoning I was anticipating.
The Mahi Mahi was prepared well in terms of texture, but the lemon caper butter did not add much depth. The sides were fine, though they did not stand out, and the lobster tail felt more like an add on than a thoughtfully integrated part of the meal. Overall, the experience suggested either large batch preparation or a lack of attention to seasoning and execution.
Bonefish Grill has long been positioned as casual upscale, but this visit did not reflect that standard. The presentation suggested a higher end experience than what the food delivered. For the price, the value just was not there for me.
While the experience was not terrible, it was not memorable enough for me to return. There are other restaurants in the area offering stronger flavor and a more consistent dining experience at a similar price point.

We are from Clearwater Florida and wanted some food from back home ..we were let down.
Fish had freezer burnt taste
My uncle's fish was raw in center.
Waiter was horrible, did not listen to our order and did not bring drinks in timely manner. He brought 2 wrong dishes and then said we ordered it.
When we were getting our bill the manager asked if everything was ok and we told him no.
He offered a free crem brulee for our problems.
Two plates should have been removed.
We got home and found out they even gave us chocolate mousse instead of crem brulee..... total and utter failure and not a good manager to let this go
Never to this place when we come to new Orleans again... horrible.

Dear Bone Fish Grill Management,
I am writing to share my concern regarding my recent dining experience. My wife and I visited your establishment on 11/29/25 at about 9pm. Upon our arrival, to our surprise we were the only patrons in the restaurant. We ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp, Crabs Cakes, Chicken Marsala & the Mahi Mahi & Grilled Shrimp. While the atmosphere and service were pleasant, I was disappointed to find that the portion size for the Mahi Mahi was extremely small compared to the price being charged. Unfortunately, the value did not feel appropriate for the cost. Everything else was great except for that. However, I did express this matter to my waiter Samuel, and he did relay my message to John, the manager on duty at the time. A short time later, I was greeted by the manager John. As he approached the table, he asked, “what problem were we having?” I expressed my concern about the Mahi Mahi, being it was the size of a cracker. Considering I never touched anything on the plate, he asked, “did you eat some of it?” I replied, “I have not touched anything on the plate”, and John went on to say, “the portion size is 4 ounces”. Clearly it wasn’t close to 4 ounces, and needless to say, John didn’t believe it was either according to his reply. Unfortunately, how outdone I was when I received my meal, it literally slipped my mind to take a picture. However, that’s neither here nor there. I just wanted to bring this to your attention in hopes that you will review your portion standards or pricing so future guests can enjoy a more balanced experience.
Thank you for your time.
