fishbones

excellent!. went to fishbones in lake mary for the first time tonight and was very impressed. a much more elegant atmosphere than i expected. the two beautiful aquariums were a nice touch.

i ordered bleu cheese chips as an appetizer and had the ribeye for dinner w/ bleu cheese mashed potato - both were fantastic.

the service at the bar and in the dining room was top notch (very attentive, yet not overbearing)! i would definitely recommend fishbones in lake mary to anyone!!!

over it. have been to fish bones dozens of times. obviously it is now under new management and that is not a good thing. went in to celebrate our 44th anniversary tonight and was very disappointed. we were seated right away - not a good sign for a not full restaurant. waitress never asked if we wanted anything from the bar, did not introduce herself . we asked for drinks and were immediately asked for our order. i ordered the florida duck. when it arrived it was not even able to be sliced ... it was hard as plastic. it was taken away and i opted out of. replacement. we were then served our check ... no offer of dessert or after dinner drinks. very disappointing and not what we were used to at this eatery. it will be a long time before we darken these doors again.

delicious menu. i have eaten at fishbones a few times and have really enjoyed it. their stuffed scallops and shrimp entree is excellent. the atmosphere is always terrific. their bar area is also very nice. this restaurant is very convenient to get to as well, right off of i-4 area between state road 46 and lake mary blvd exits.

"consistently great place to eat"
i have eaten at fishbones many times over the past few years , with many different people and have always had a great meal with great service !
i believe this is one of the best restaurants in central florida !

best steak ever!. my husband has always said eat what ever the restaurants specialty is, however neither of us are seafood people. but, i have always wanted to dine there because the decor and ambiance is amazing. not one detail left out. we both ordered a steak and were shocked at the quality and perfection it was cooked. we thought it was a fluke and didnt go back for a year, afraid it wouldn't be the same and we didn't want to ruin the memory. we've gone 10 times since and each time was the same perfection. we've dined at the best chop houses and nothing compares.

terrible experience. stop!! dont waste your time and money!! this is nothing more than a glorified red lobster! dined on 7/10/2013 for my husbands birthday. following is our impression of our dining experience:

ambience/decor: fail! - felt like we were walking into a banquet hall.
food: fail!
lobster bisque - worst we have ever had - predominantely tasted like flour.
salads with goat cheese dressing - just ok.
stuffed black grouper ($40 dish) - horrible, fish was not cooked through, just awful from presentation of the dish to taste. really you dare serve this for $40?
aged steak; meh definately not worth the money.

manager offered to bring me another entree (so i waited while my husband continued eating his dinner alone) - i requested the stuffed shrimp and scallops but that is not what i received. i was too disgusted to even let her know that this was the wrong dish. i was given what i think was the shrimp and scallop scampi - i've had better at a fridays!

during this time our waitress simply disappeared - we sat with our dirty dishes in front of us for over 15 minutes.

if you want a great meal and great service try terramia brick oven pizza in the same strip mall - great service and great food. wish i had taken my husband to terramia for his birthday,

good first time out. my husband and i ate at fishbones with my in-laws last night (first time for all 4 of us), and we enjoyed our experience as well as the food. some of us had the caesar salad to start, others had the specialty salad-- both very good, tasted very fresh. we also enjoyed the blue chips as a starter. the cheese/garlic bread was very tasty, too. my husband and i split the 10 oz filet and he added the blackened shrimp; i added asparagus with bearnaise sauce. *excellent* steak! best i've had in a long time; husband enjoyed the shrimp very much, and i thought the asparagus was very well prepared, although the tough ends were left on, which i found odd. we shared the chocolate cake for dessert, which had a beautiful crumb; and the drizzle of mildly coconut flavored sugar glaze rounded it out beautifully.

truly delectable dining adventure. all of dining experiences associated with talk of the town restaurant group have never led us down in our high expectations of flavor and service...and 99% of the time, exceeded them.
our latest visits to fish bones delivered a phenomenal taste extravaganza. beginning with the recommendations and efficiency of our server, karen quinn, our appetizers, salads, entrees and desserts were paced at a relaxed and manageable level so that we could genuinely savor every delectable bite.
my spouse considers himself as a true connoisseur of lobster bisque – and firmly convinced fish bones wins the grand flavor prize! he followed up with the 20/20 surf and turf, of which he claims the 20 oz dry aged filet mignon was the best he had ever tasted! and he was rating it with his steak at bern’s steak house in tampa! it was accompanied with a 20 oz cold water lobster tail that he claimed was tender and sweet he didn’t need the drawn butter to enhance the flavor (but yes, he still indulged!).
i had the fresh fish trigger fish, which was grilled to perfection. i rarely, if ever view trigger fish on local menus so i seized the opportunity and was thoroughly impressed.
we ended our meal with dessert – i had the authentic key lime pie, delivered true to description and not too sweet. my spouse had the red velvet cake which was topped with crème cheese icing.
throughout our time there, annette cavallaro, the dining room manager was constantly circulating the restaurant, welcoming new table guests and introducing herself, as well as revisiting to ensure our dining experience was more than satisfactory. there are private dining rooms, a cocktail lounge, raw seafood bar and main dining room - all exclusive to one another, each offering their own ambience and low level of noise and traffic.
i never hesitate to recommend fish bones or any of talk of the town restaurants to visitors or locals, and i always receive a follow up “thank you” for sharing my favorite!

excellent steak, and very well cooked. few places know the difference between black & blue and pittsburg rare. menu prices were shocking but the overall bill was not, oddly enough! very good for a group of picky eaters. this is an upscale chain; the other fishbones i went to in south florida was not good. this one is excellent. service was attentive but not bothersome. location is way out in the northern orlando burbs, but easy of the interstate. i'd recommend it for a picky group.

best ribeye ever

excellent happy hour prices and the best ribeye i have had in many years. we will be back.

fantastic happy hour and atmosphere! outdoor bar is great for a cocktail and sushi. great for the price!! put on your boat shoes and go!

everything we ate was so fresh. i loved the raw oysters. the house salad was great with the roll. the wood grilled black grouper was perfect. my expectations were high since this was my first visit. i was not disappointed. great service as well.

not as good as expected. it was probably my fault i had a poor experience. i decided the mixed grill (sea food) sounded best and ordered it despite the waitress warning me that it was not one of the better options. i did not enjoy the fish, shrimp or scallops and i usually love all of it! as appetizers, the clam chowder was really good and the florida gator was really good. probably won't be back, but if i do, i won't order the mixed grill.

so, overall, our experience was somewhat uneven, not what i'd expect for a restaurant like this, given the high prices. i'm not sure i'd really go back again. i've had better food and better service for a better price at other places. but what the heck, give it a try and you decide!
