fishbones

good food, but not inexpensive. ate for my first time atfishbones last night. the food was good, the service outstanding.

we started with a bahamianfishdip appetizer. nice smoky flavor, very good.

for dinner i had the mixed grill: a grilled piece of grouper, nicely done; a piece salmon grilled to perfection, and the scampi shrimp and scallops. the scallops and shrimp were cooked just right. the scampi was just average, thought. and i had one or two pieces of shrimp that were not properly dressed--that is, some shell that should have been removed had not been. i found this lack of attention to this detail to be a bit annoying.

dinner was accompanied by some mixed veggies and some orzo. the mixed veggies were ok, maybe a bit overcooked. the orzo though was downright pasty. definitnely undercooked, or not cooked right.

the service we received from brandon was outstanding. he was very attentive to all our needs, checked back often, and explained everything to us in great detail. rarely have i had service that good.

so, overall, service was tops! grilledfishwas excellent. scampi was just ok, nothing special. orzo was not very good. a mixed experience, but i'd eat here again....brandon won me over on that point.

went here with my wife and parents and had a good experience.  the food although expensive is very good.  the service was top notch.  the selection is decent sized too even though the menu may not look big.  there is a decent amount of gluten-free options as you would expect and can make most things gluten-free.  i had the fried hawaiian triggerfishand it was the best friedfishi've ever had.  again it's very expensive but you get good quality and tasting food and service.

over it. have been tofishbones 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.

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,fishwas 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,

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 tofishbones 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 convincedfishbones 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 freshfishtrigger fish, which was grilled to perfection. i rarely, if ever view triggerfishon 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 recommendfishbones 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!

best service in a long, long time. my husband requested this restaurant for his borthday dinner, and that was fine by me, since i haven't had a bad experience here. but wow! the experience was awesome.

we arrived, two adults and two small children, at 8:30 on a friday night. i was expecting a bit of a wait, but was suprised that i was seated within 5 minutes. our server immediately greeted us and brought us water.

the food was good. i ordered the corvinafishgrilled ($30), and my husband ordered the indian unicornfishin a wasabi/mirin sauce ($38). both were delicious, with the unicornfishstanding out. my kids ordered the calamari ($8) as an entree and the fried shrimp kids meal($6). my daughter didn't like the calamari because it was spicy, but i was impressed with the tender preparation. my son devoured the shrimp like it was going out of style.

the best part of the experience was our server, dennis. he was everything that i expect with service. he was attentive but not oppresive. he had great suggestions and interacted wonderfully with my children. i was extremely impressed with his quality of service and could see him serving at any fine dining restaurant. what a wonderful dinner.

wonderful! we experienced a little of everything, sushi, oysters, unicornfish& desert were all a wonderful experience!!!

oh my gosh!!. my boyfriend took me tofishbones for my birthday recently, and it was great, so romantic and really nice waitress. i loved everything.fishbones isn't the type o place i could afford every week, even every month but for a real specail occassion its a great place to get in goood with your girlfriend or wife : )
