Bonefish Grill is a chain of restaurants located around the US. The restaurant in Sarasota is nicely decorated and moderately upscale. It was very busy during the popular winter season. They specialize in fish and sea food, but also have other options, like Steak and Chicken. The food was all good, but quite salty.
Casual to smart casual - Sarasota is a beach town, so anything from shorts and a t-shirt to nice jeans and a nice shirt are fine.
This is one of the pricier restaurants in the area. Entrees were anywhere from $13-$20
The service was adequate. Our water glasses were frequently refilled.
The restaurant was very busy in the evening for dinner. They told us the wait was 35 minutes, but it was closer to an hour. They take call-ahead requests, which is similar to reservations.
The bread basket and dipping oil arrived while we were waiting for our meal. The bread was hot and fresh and the dipping oil had some nice spices.
The shrimp were spicy but delicious. They had a lightly fried crispy batter. There were quite a few shrimp in this appetizer. We had difficulty finishing it between 3 people.
The steak was ordered medium with a side of broccoli. The steak was pretty good. It was very tender, and cooked properly. The fresh vegetables was an interesting vegetable mix of corn, beans, peppers, and some spices. The broccoli was steamed and mostly plain, except that it was salty.
The Gulf Grouper was ordered with the Pan Asian sauce and garlic whipped potatoes. The potatoes were pretty typical garlic potatoes. The fish was served with some carrot and green onion on top. The sauce was really nice and a bit sweet. The fish tasted very fresh and mild tasting. It didn't taste like fish at all, and went really well with the sauce.
The Key Lime Pie is a classic in Florida. This key lime pie was pretty good, but nothing special.
