Bonefish Grill - Table reservation

It feels like maybe somewhere around 10 years ago, Bonefish Grill was seen as kind of an upscale place to go for dinner, not that it was expensive or required you to dress up fancy, but the atmosphere was nice and in general a seafood restaurant seems like something that you would want to be a little bit more classy. But as it is right now I found the quality of Bonefish Grill to be quite meddling. Part of that could be because they seem to be in a bit of an employment Crunch at the moment as I write this in late 2022. Although the restaurant was not super crowded while we went, I think they're only five or six tables, it seemed as if there were only one server available at any one time. There were other employees who would deliver food, but overall our poor waiter seemed like he was in over his head, I'm not in any way holding this against him, but it does perhaps speak as to whether or not the restaurants quality has gone down. When we received our food, it was just so so. My plate in particular looked rather slap a dash, with mashed potatoes that were quite visibly scooped out with an ice cream scoop, and I ordered the special of the day which was described as being talked with cream spinach and crab meat, but the amount of creamed spinach on top was so negligible that I could not even really taste it underneath the strong flavors of everything else in the dish. The green beans were also just Bland and really needed a lot of salt and pepper, and while the garlic potatoes had a good taste to them, they were noticeably Lumpy and also fairly cold. Cold was another issue with our dining experience. We went late december, and were quite chilly throughout the entire meal and the temperature only decreased the longer we were there. There was a vent open right above us, but they seem to be open everywhere. By the end of the night our entire table of seven was wearing a jacket if we had one. It was not as though the food was terrible, we've had our fill and, and everything was cooked properly, but it did not feel as though the quality match to the price, especially with seafood prices at some of the highest I've personally seen them.

We were there for dinner on a Saturday evening. It wasn't that packed, about 80%.. Our waitress was great, but seemed to have more of the occupied tables and was overwhelmed. Also, there was only one working.. or maybe only one station to input food and drinks, so sometimes the wait staff was 5 deep waiting to do so. I had the steak and crab cake.. The steak was tough. Had to cut with even a steak knife. The crab cake was small and mostly filler. Very disappointing as we have eaten here twice before. Hopefully these issues will be resolved in a positive way.

Came in on August 10th 2022….. The service was great … Been to Bone Fish and grill 2x .. Once in Long Island NY and it was so so. This one in Bel Air was delish.. The Champagne was chilled to perfection .. I had the sirloin off the dinner for 2 and added a lobster tail. Steak was cooked to temp a nice medium. I can’t remember my servers name. She had a nose ring and I sat at the first booth to the right when coming in. Being a Chef, I’m not sure if a nose ring is good for food service .. All and all she did a great job accommodating us.

We were seated right away and our server was very attentive. She made a couple of wine recommendations-which we took and enjoyed. We ordered a couple of appetizers and they were on point. Only negative was I ordered the shrimp skewers and scallops but the shrimp were very over done. Other than that everything was good!

Wonderful food and service at dinner Friday. This drink was delicious. The video shows the smoke coming off the glass.
