Bonefish Grill — Restaurant in East Brunswick Township

As many times I have been at this location. I have never experienced such an embarrassing moment until Friday 10/11/24. On that Friday my friends & I decided to go enjoy ourselves after work and so we headed to the establishment for happy hr. ( food & drinks ). While the three of us were sitting at the bar enjoying each other’s company, one of my friends ordered another round of cocktails for us. Next thing we know the manager approaches us stating they can no longer serve us. So we ask, “Why Not”. The manager stated that the bartender came to her about, the amount of drinks we ordered. Did I mention there were three of us and each person had three drinks a piece as well as food. We did not disturb anyone nor did we act out of control. At that point, we paid our bill and left. While leaving, the manager ran outside behind us to apologize & stated from her observation we clearly was fine and was enjoying ourselves and not causing any problems. So, I asked her then why didn’t she speak to the bartender on our behalf and let her know we were fine. But instead she kept apologizing and then offered us a gift card to come back. My friends & I were very upset, embarrassed, and felt targeted for the way we were treated especially because there were other people there drinking and dining. I hope what happened to us doesn’t happen to anyone else. But that experience left me feeling I don’t ever what to dine at another Bone Fish Grill again and don’t want any one of my loved ones to dine there...

Bonefish is a nice place to go if you're not looking to split the atom, want a friendly, hospitable staff and reliably decent food. I personally don't find Bonefish Grill especially disruptive to the rather ordinary persona perpetuated by mid-level franchise alternatives to places like Friday's and Applebee's. While I would concede that my experiences at places like TGIF and Applebee's are as dependably disappointing, which is why I don't go to those places, bone Fish Grill could do more with the food to truly elevate to let's say a Season 52 level of experience. Season 52 isn't exactly setting the world on fire either, but in my experience, there appears to be more attention given to a diverse, seasonal menu.

I did not, nor have I ever been given their Angler service. In their defense however, I sit at their bar when I dine there. I don't know if the Angler service is limited to their dining room service, but I have ordered fishes dishes from them and no one ever approached me to advise me on the best fish choice.

I gave bonefish Grill 3 of 5 stars largely, if not entirely, because I find it a good places to gather for a bite with a date or friend, when neither of you wants to grapple with bigger, loftier questions like, "where can I find a truly sensational dining experience tonight?" Given the scarcity of such options, in the meantime, there's Bonefish Grill, which reliably offers a good, fresh mean, served by hospitable, friendly and...

Table Bread Bang Bang Shrimp Chimichurri Bistro Filet Lily’s Chicken

Although this restaurant may be a chain, they doesn’t mean the food will be less than stellar.

My girlfriend and I had a flawless dinner in this seafood restaurant.

Table bread: The bread was served warm; I especially loved dipping the bread in the pesto filled olive oil.

Bang bang shrimp: This signature appetizer was piled high and deep with shrimp with shredded lettuce at the bottom. The seafood was smothered in sweet Thai chili sauce and sriracha.

Be sure to mix the lettuce with the shrimp.

Chopsticks are included, but they are not necessary.

Chimichurri Bistro Filet: The tender, juicy 8-ounce steak was served medium rare.

Pre-slicing the steak is a great convenience because that’s one less kitchen utensil you will need.😊

The chimichurri sauce was beyond phenomenal. In addition to the steak, I also smothered it in the side dishes.

Lily’s Chicken: The chicken had a variety of toppings which included goat cheese, spinach and artichokes. It was undoubtedly one of my favorite plates.

It was a perfect dining experience at a seafood restaurant and we didn’t even order seafood entrées!
