Extremely low lighting sets the tone for each table. Though the next table is only a few feet away, you feel secluded and romanticized by the dimmed spot lighting throughout the black painted ceiling evoking a nigh time under-the-stars dining experience. The soft spoken staffs, dressed in tradition white uniforms resembling a chef outfit, are both welcoming and insightful as they tell you the specials and their personal recommendations and a little about that dishes preparation.
Appetizers and entrees are reasonably priced. Seafood appetizer prices start at $5.50 for Cajun Chicken Egg Rolls and end at $9.90 for their Crab Cakes. Entrée's range from $12.90-$21.00 and includes grilled and sautéed seafood dishes. Figure under $40 for two drinks and two entrées. On the down side the menu does not include anything for vegetarians.
Taste is fantastic from their home made bread and extra virgin olive oil sauce to the main course-a Shrimp Diablo for example. Bonefish Grill prides themselves on the freshness of the items on their menu which changes according to availability and their home made touches like the whip cream on the deserts. The presentations of the dishes are equally impressive.
Overall a great experience. Perfect for fish lovers looking for a different take on the same dish and wanting to do so in a quiet yet enjoyable atmosphere for two or twelve.
