Bonefish Grill Review

I hate to be THAT blogger that consistently reviews restaurants she's been to... but for the sake of blogging, humor me, and maybe even try the places I've been when you have free time! :)

Ben has a couple of students that he teaches cello lessons privately, in their homes. One of these students is a high school freshman whose family we've come to adore. They're beautiful people with big hearts, so why wouldn't you want them in your life, am I right?? Anyway, for Christmas, they gave Ben a $50 gift card that worked at a couple different places - Outback Steakhouse, Bonefish Grill, etc. Talk about a great gift (not to mention, there was more)! Well, neither of us are HUGE Outback fans, so we've been sitting on the gift card for three months. Last Saturday, we decided we wanted to go somewhere and have some sort of date night, so we rummaged through our gift cards, coupons, and groupons (we like to do nice things for even nicer prices), and happened upon this card. We decided to google Bonefish Grill to see if there was one near us because neither of us had ever been. There was one not far from us (15 minutes or so), so off we went!

Unfortunately, I wasn't on my "food picture" game, but we enjoyed an appetizer of calamari, as well as a couple of beers with our meal. Here's what had to eat (sorry for the picture quality - dark restaurant):

My meal is on the left! I had the Sirloin + Crab Cake Dinner. It was served with fresh vegetables, garlic mashed potatoes, and a bacon mushroom sauce. It was delicious and also reheated REALLY well for lunch the next day!

Ben had a restaurant special, the Oscar Turbot. On the menu, the description was as follows... "From the Land of Fire & Ice, Greenland Turbot is the sister in texture and mild flavor to the indulgent Halibut. Sautéed Piccata-style, topped with jumbo lump crab meat, asparagus, and lemon caper butter sauce. Served with mushroom ravioli + spring vegetables." The picture does not do his meal justice!!

Both meals were great, all of the food was delicious, the wait was short, and the service was good! We also were able to find a coupon online for $10 off, so between that and the gift card we only spent about $15 out of our own pockets! It's definitely a pricier date night, but if you forewent the drinks and appetizers it would be pretty reasonable!

On a scale of 1-10, I would give Bonefish Grill an 8!

What about you guys? What are your thoughts? Any new restaurants you want to try?
