I decided to try it here since it's very close to the house. We ordered a dozen raw oysters, Bang Bang Shrimp, and Maryland Crab Cakes for appetisers...Note to self, don't order too many appetizers and then a full meal :-) The Oysters were very good. The Bang Bang Shrimp were excellent. My wife liked them better then a similar offering from PF Changs and Flanigan's. I personally prefer Flanigan's the best but I still enjoyed the ones from Bonefish. The Maryland Crab Cakes were also very good, they could have had a little more salt on them though. For my main meal I ordered the Pecan Parmesan Crusted Rainbow Trout, it was a little oily but still tasted very good. It also had artichoke hearts on the plate, a few more on the plate would have also been nice. My wife ordered the Salmon, it was cooked perfectly and tasted great. We ended up overeating our appetisers and under-eating our meal; so we had it wrapped to go. The food tasted great the next day once the flavors melded together. I will say that it is not going to be a top go-to spot for us even though it's very close to home, but it is a nice place to eat if you are in the mood for some good seafood. We didn't get to try their steaks; sometimes the best meats are served at seafood restaurants. Next time we go back we will try their steaks.

Accommodations are very good, service no complaints I even thought there were more staff than necessary but that is great. Talking about the food, everything we order seam to be coming from frozen food I don't think anything was fresh, food did not have much taste I would not come back here because of the food

Small portions. Some of the food was good and some was blah. Red pepper soup was too salty. House salad was mediocre. Tilapia was ok but very small portion. This restaurant is evidently having some issues.... small portions usually means the place can't stay profitable and they cut down on costs......

Yes, so it's a chain restaurant but it's within walking distance to our place and it's cheaper than Novecento which is in the same plaza. The arctic char has become my go-to dish - always flavorful and fresh, while my husband likes their lobster roll. The drinks aren't bad either (their sangria is decent). We had a coupon for $20 off dinner and decided to stop in and take advantage of the offer. If you can, try to get Matthew - he was the *best* server! The only reason I don't give it a higher score is because their location is exactly where our Barnes & Noble used to be and I miss having a bookstore in Aventura :( I suppose there's some good to this tradeoff...

Solid three stars. I went to my first Bonefish Grill in Orlando. It was fantastic! Then I went to one in Las Vegas and it was great as well. This one was good but not on par with the others I went to. Good drinks and service was just "okay". We shared the pork chops and I had a side salad and a side of potatoes. I don't think I would come back here. To many other good places to eat around here. Enjoy!

Went in the other evening for a late lunch/early dinner. Sat at the bar and the bartenders were very attentive and friendly. Got a mango sidecar to start. It was excellent. I love a standard sidecar and the mango added a little extra that made it even better. The bread with herb dipping oil was warm and tasty. Then tried the bang bang shrimp tacos. I don't usually eat fried food so not sure I'd get it again but it was good to try. All in all a nice experience. It's newly built and the decor is inviting.

Enjoyed my time here. My server abner was really nice and tentative and the food and drinks were good. I loved the crab cakes here and I'm super picky when it comes to that. I would definitely recommend this place. Only time where I wouldn't recommend it is for large parties. They won't bother accommodating mine. They just gave me the run around to call back numerous times but whatever I won't be going with a large party just a few friends every so often.

Always a great place to grab dinner and a cocktail. They have happy hour weekdays 4-6:30 PM - definitely a good deal

The food was nothing good. Eggs benediction with lobster and filet mignon was disappointing. The tuna appetizer is regular. And my husband's tilapia they had to redo since they are pretty new and don't have an idea of what they are doing. Service is awful. I had to ask for service after sitting for 10 mi uses and no one came to take the order. Will not come back.

I've been to Bonefish twice for lunch and the salads and service and acoustics were terrific THe bread is a killer!. this was my first time for dinner and I was disappointed. The four of us sat at a bar table which was fine. Our salads came out first, two minutes later the appetizer, and before we finished eating the salads and appetizer (which should not come out at the same time), our main courses arrived. We felt extremely rushed. They offered to bring the food back in a few minutes, but that's always risky in my mind so we just finished our salads and ate room temperatured food. The manager came over and offered a free dessert. We are locals, not tourists, and the type who frequent a neighborhood restaurant often. If we wanted our drinks refilled, we had to keep asking. A good server sees it's empty and just refills it. My friend had to ask for lemon twice, and sat there waiting to eat her fish until he finally brought it. Portions were not that large, with a mini scoop of rice. My main thing is not having to inhale my food on a Saturday night. Because it's a mile from my apartment, I will eat there again, but not in the bar.

I was introduced to BoneFish on my 25th bday by my best friend. I immediately fell in love with the house made lemonade. I recently went back this past Saturday for my best friend's grad dinner and was put off by our waitress/server. She gave us incorrect information about them running out the house made lemonade so I have the settle for blueberry smash. She disappeared & did not bring us out bread or come to take our orders. I stopped someone named Brooke/Kristen who was in business attire and she made everything right. She was on top over everything.They did in fact have house made lemonade in the back which was ready. The manager comped our drinks and appetizer (bang bang shrimp). I really enjoyed the tilapia imperial and the side of crab fried rice I ordered. The pieces of crab meat was not mixed into the rice but placed on top of it. They was literally only 8 tiny pieces. This is the nearest location near me so I will return back.

I must say the food at this location is just OK but it takes upwards of 2 hours to get your order and it comes out cold.!! Its INSANE...This is the 3rd time I have gone there & they STILL DO NOT have it together at this location. I have been to numerous Bonefish grills in South Florida, as well as throughout the country ( when I travel on business) ...This place, by far, usually is a VERY consistent .. NOT here & the manager, while she is VERY nice can NOT handle it . Additionally they DO NOT serve the happy hour menu.They did & then all of a sudden stopped..Since the kids do not eat too much fish & t hey are not big eaters we looked at the happy hour menu ..since they had a smaller version of the lamb chops we thought we were set...only to get there & be told they do not serve the happy hour food ...WHAT ????? then I suggested the lobster grilled cheese...Guess what...they do NOT have it on the Aventura menu ....It seems that since they are a new location they have a scaled back menu The Staff is VERY confused...there is NO excuse for this being that this is a chain and they have some locations close in proximity...Hello...I grew up in the restaurant industry...take half of your staff( including your kitchen staff) and send them to other locations, team them up with GOOD experienced staff and TRAIN them PROPERLY take some of t he areas better staff & bring them here to train ... I know that they did this for a time in the first week but the staff did NOT catch on. .You have to ask 8 or 9 times for them to fill up your water. I must agree with Shay on the 3-22 visit that the blackened fish was WAY too salty..this is puzzling since I have blackened fish a different Bonefish Grills a bunch of times. Not only does the waitstaff have no idea how to wait on a table, but you can ask any of the other staff ( there are an abundance of them) for something,but the will say yes & then they will never come back...What is that all about...this is a basic serving rule...if someone asks for something you work as a team & get what is requested...There were 7 in out party & we all asked for water with lemon in the beginning, here she comes with the water no lemon, then we ask for lemon & here she comes with 3 slices of lemon ???? What ...can you count 7 glasses ALL ask for lemon & I will bring 3 ..If you want to go to Bonefish Grill SKIP this one & go to another one Ok so I gave this place 2 additional visits...My opinion....SKIP IT...the place is nice looking ,,, the food is OK... the waitstaff ... well you determine the wording...when a cold soup came to the table ( cold food seems to be the norm here ) ...We brought it tot he attention of the server& her answer was its not cold you don't know what you are talking about... WHAT????????? you work on tips, Yelena.... Then I saw the bartender place a drink on the service bar for a server to pick it up...prior to it being served... I saw 4 servers stick straws in it take some ( that is not a big issue because they did not sip from them but they got some of it from the bottom of the straw & it never touched their mouth BUT then the bartender added something to the drink and all 4 including Yelena ( our server) put their straws back into the drink & took some MORE ( after they all put the straws in their mouths !!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME ???????? Then the server picked up the drink & served it to a customer...If you don't want your server eating or drinking you food before you are served Reconsider going to this BONEFISH Grill .

One more new restaurant, today Sunday March 29, 2015 at 1:30 pm we went to this restaurant for nice time but, we don't have The nice time , first we wait for the waiterscome to the table 15 minutes after we did the order, they service the appetizer and we wait half hour for the food . I order tilapia imperial and they serve me regular tilapia the server take back and after they serve me the same tilapia with a shrimp creamy sauce, they miss the scallops and crab meat and also I order different sauce One of the manager come to the table and we tell her about the mistake and she don't know how was my plate so she go to the kitchen ask how service the Tilapia. Imperial The waiters come to the table and we tell her about, finally we asking for the check and the time when we pay the manager arrive to the table with the fish I order, is clear that the staff no have any can of training , you can see the waiters delivery food to all table before go to the real tableI Food is not good service is very bad Is not brunch menu, is only 6 items for brunch or better is a dish with eggs they call brunch Try other place not this one

I'm gonna have to give this one a two star rating.... Me and the wife had eaten at the Fort Lauderdale location one time before, and to be honest we were not enthralled by our first experience. Then we recieved in the mail a $20 off of $40+ total bill coupon. So we though what the heck, give it another try...We got the bang bang shrimp as an appetizer. It was good, and portion was good as well (subject to change knowing restaurants down here). Then my wife ordered the terryaki chicken bowl, and I the ribeye with garlic mashed potatoes and green snow peas. The waitress came around and took our order, got our drinks, then another waitress delivered the appetizer. I had to ask the second waitress for refills on drinks (which was an ongoing task throughout the dinner), and the bread that we thought was included with the meal like at other locations. The waitress then advised us that she was instructed only to serve bread when requested. Then the main course comes along shorly after.... Everything looks small... The portions are just as we remember them at the other location. Definitely not worth the price you pay. My wifes terryaki chicken had like a half of a half a chicken breast in it. The taste was good. But the value was dismal. The ribeye steak I had ordered was thin and also not cooked medium well as I had ordered. Although I do not know how someone could cook such a thin steak to medium well. At that point I was expecting that commercial where walmart walks in and surprises everyone and says did you know you were eating a walmart steak?! Yes, it really did have the consistency of a walmart steak... The mushroom bacon sauce it came with was good. Although I did not see any bacon in it at all. The sides were so tiny I almost had to get a microscope out to see them. I think my meal came with 6 snow peas and maybe 4-5 tablespoons of mashed potatoes. I don't really understand why this place is so wildly popular. The last time we ate here the fish servings and everything else were also small. They should maybe throw tapas into the middle of the name. "Bonefish Tapas Grill". Then we will know what to expect. Small portioned sometimes good flavored food, made in portions and at a price point to maximize profit without drawing too much attention to value.

Great dinner at the bar this evening. The bartender Dave was slammed but seriously worked his butt off to serve all the customers. It was extra busy this evening apparently due to $6 bang bang shrimp. I love me some bang bang shrimp but I opted for a meal instead. I had the tilapia imperial with rice and veggies. It was excellent. It is topped with crab and scallops along with capers. The veggies were zucchini and peppers and were nicely seasoned with Parmesan cheese. Everything about my meal was delicious.

This place has consistently gone south!! Went when they opened and several times after.. What happened??? Did they change the chef? Do they think the name is enough for success?? Well, same plates all the time and nop... Not good! The trout, below average and tiny! The chef salad, missing taste and balance... Also ordered more dressing and they brought a miniscule sample... Service as average. The place is clean... I do warn management that the floor near the restrooms is VERY slippery... Why?? Do they clean it well, or is it something with the tiles?? Beware, someone can fall!!! Other than that, enjoy.

The dipping sauce for the bread was way too salty. I had a bowl of spicy tuna but the rice it came with was mushy. You hardly could not see the grain of rice. Instead of fluffy rice, it was more like kid's play dough. The staff are nice and the atmosphere is very elegant but I am not sure I would go back.

First time going to a bonefish grill and it was pretty good.I really enjoyed their appetizers. My family got the Rockefeller oyster (very very good) and the fried calamari. For entrees we had two pork chops and a steak. The pork chops were a little on the salty side and my steak was a little bland and over cooked. However, I must say that I enjoyed the Au gratin side that came with it. I would come again but just to try something new.

I went there twice. The first time i had the Atlantic Salmon with Broccoli and the Mango Salsa. It was delicious. The second time was over the weekend and I had the Glazed Lamb Chops with Green Beans. The service was remarkable and the atmosphere was awesome. I totally loved it.

I have personally been to other restaurants in the chain of Bonefish. I have had a much better experience than the one that our party of 12 had on Sunday afternoon. This is not the place for a large party and definitely not a party that has more than 2 children. The portions were extremely small and the bill was extremely large. We were not happy as a group and will not be visiting the chain again. Our waitresses (2) were not attentive to the group as a whole and we had to continuously ask for refills or any attention at all. I am a very good tipper and expect to be treated like a consumer who is appreciated; unfortunately on Sunday afternoon, I did not!

I have eaten at bonefish grill at other locations but the one at Biscayne is amazing. The service was excellent, the suggestions made by our server were superb and the blacked fish tacos to die for. Highly recommend this restaurant and location to any one.
Only been one my food was okay. The location was okay and the service was okay. No complaints overall I enjoyed it. Great family place or to link up with a group of friends who like seafood..

Attended the soft opening of Bonefish Grill in Aventura. It was a great experience ! From the greeter to the reservation attendant to the waitresses, the service was friendly and on point. Started off with calamari as an appetizer and a delicious crab corn chowder. Then for entrees it was scallops and shrimp in pesto sauce with garlic mashed potatoes that was delicious. My friend ordered a salmon like fish with the crab fried rice and we also had as an extra side the mac n cheese with truffles that was very good. Finished off the night with a Crème Brule with fresh berries and whipped cream was exactly right. Not too sweet and the consistency was perfect. Definitely worth coming back for sure!

This place always holds a special place in my heart... It's where I had the pleasure of having a second date with the love of my life! Ok... So really, about the FOOD... Overall this place has a great selection of items and most importantly FISH! The selections are always grilled or cooked to your liking, well seasoned and great presentation. Their Mussels are GREAT - when they have them available. The Tomato Avocado Salad is well seasoned and the hint of cilantro adds a great flavor. You can't go wrong with their fish tacos and as a main dish I've had the Salmon and it's been well seasoned and cooked great. I have had it with their Lemon Butter sauce. I wouldn't recommend the White Truffle Mac & Cheese - for some reason it didn't taste so well. If your thinking of a southern style and flavor of this kind of dish, unfortunately it doesn't come close. Overall this place is great for a date or just a nigh out to eat and have some drinks!

I hate resturant that nickel and dime you. I hate spirit airlines where every thing is extra. Just include the extras in the price. I really just hate companies that do this! It's the principle just charge more for the product and stop nickel and dime people! As far as the fish, the fish is average at Bone Fish. Red Lobster has a better fish. Really the parmesan encrusted tilapia is amazing! How can Red lobster $15 fish beat Bone Fish Grills $28 fish? Amazes me every time! Bone Fish is over rated! :(
We just celebrated my son's birthday there and it was a fantastic experience! We had the most delicious drinks I've had in a long time and the food was beyond our expectations. I really recommend the coffee martini, modern mojito and pork shop with fontina cheese, prosciutto, mushrooms n wine sauce. And the service was excellent!! So glad we took a chance and visited for d first time.

I was traveling Miami Beach and visited here since this is my favorite restaurant back at home. Well... my experience was very bad. The wait staff service was horrible. Our server name was Alexis she was rudest server I have ever met. Our drinks were not served before the bread and she would disappear for longest time and come back just a few times to check on us. Never heard what the special of the day and she was finishing every sentence with "... okay?!? (like do you understand what i am saying?)" - treat customers really bad. She was leaning over our table or table seperator and treat us too casual. I would understand if this was Denny's but I am expecting better service at the Bonefish! (Back at home it's top service.) Food was great and other staffs were good but they need to do something about the servers. I will never go back to this location because of her.

Amazing food, awesome presentation, and exceptional service. I ordered the lamb chops and my friend ordered the house burger. The burger was super moist, and not over seasoned. The lamb chops we're cooked perfectly and had a great marindae. ( it didn't even have that chewy texture most lamb has. The sides that come with the meal are huge and delicious, the fresh baked bread they bring is awesome. The price is pretty decent. 7 chops and 2 sides for $21.99. I will definitely be back soon.

Came here last night for my boss's birthday dinner with his family and it was a horrible dining experience. Our server was either high and couldn't do his job, or he just shouldn't be a server at all. He messed up one of our orders, the filet mignon, and without even apologizing or asking if we wanted something else instead, he simply took it and didn't come back for 10 minutes to tell us they were making a new one. We waited and waited, by that point everyone else had eaten except the one who ordered the filet mignon. By the time we had paid, her dinner hadn't even come out yet. Of course, they CHARGED us for the meal, you know, the meal one of the people at the table ordered and had yet to eat. By this point my boss was furious, his two kids (2 and 4) we're getting irritated of sitting down for such a long time and were basically screaming, one of the people at the table hadn't even had dinner, our server was clueless and missing, and of course, they had charged us. He decided to call the manager over, Demonte, who was also clueless and told us that "had he been aware" of the issue he would've tried to handle it. Seriously? What kind of management oversees this restaurant? He then proceeded to offer us vouchers for NEXT TIME and a slice of key lime pie... Mind you, a SLICE, like that would instantly fix things. Overall, my boss walked out of the restaurant saying this had been the worst birthday dinner he had ever had. What was supposed to be a delicious and fun night out with friends and family turned into a headache. I doubt we be coming back anytime soon, at least not while Demonte is working and overseeing the restaurant.

We got the pleasure of eating the Bang Bang Shrimp for dinner. We ordered one with sauce on the side. I have to say that the sauce was creamy and very well seasoned. There was just enough spice for taste and didn't dominate the flavor. The shrimp was lightly breaded with a good seasoning. I found it pleasing to taste the shrimp and sauce separately and the combination of the two is mouth watering! Excelent as an appetizer or as the main dish.

My family and I were excited that a Bonefish Grill had opened by our home. Perhaps our expectations were high since we frequent the Bonefish Grill in Ft. Lauderdale and are always EXTREMLY pleased. We visited the Bonefish Grill in Aventura on a Saturday late afternoon. I have to add that the atmosphere was not comparable to the other Bonefish Grills in South Florida (have been to all). It was chaotic... loud pop music playing and it was evident that the staff was overwhelmed and confused with all the pacing back and forth by managers and waiters. It seemed like our waiter never had any waiting experience and no idea what costumer service is about. He did not ask how our food was, or refill our drinks, and did not bring us any bread until we asked. The wait was long and unapologetic. The "manager" chose to greet select elderly guest but ignored our table. Perhaps she was tired of feeding guest with excuses. The food was so salty; in particular the blackened fish tacos and calamari. My husband asked for a manager after he put his fork in the "jasmine rice" which looked more like sticky rice. In a minute a manager we had not seen ( I had seen about 4 walking around back and forth ) came to our table chewing her gum loudly as she heard my husbands complaint of the food and how we had not had our drinks refilled. She said she was sorry and would take the dish off our bill and still did not offer to refill our drink. At this point my children were coughing and sucking on ice cubes. .. no exaggeration. I left with lips feeling as if I stepped out of the ocean and extremely dehydrated and sad that we did not experience what we had hoped. I had to open a yelp account in hopes that complaints would be heard and changes will be made. No doubt we will not be returning to this location.

Not only this location, but Bonefish Grille in general seems to have the worse side dishes. All of there side items are distasteful. Even I can do a better side item than them. I've tried every side item on there menu and at every location I've visited they were all disgusting. Everything else is not to bad, but for the price I would just recommend going elsewhere if possible.

Bonefish is known for their $5 Bang-Bang Wednesday. However, this newest location does not honor this and charges over$11 for their Bang Bang. The place is nice and the service was good. Until this location does their Bang Bang special, I will be going to the Ft. Lauderdale location who sticks with what is tried and true.

I decided to try it here since it's very close to the house. We ordered a dozen raw oysters, Bang Bang Shrimp, and Maryland Crab Cakes for appetisers...Note to self, don't order too many appetizers and then a full meal :-) The Oysters were very good. The Bang Bang Shrimp were excellent. My wife liked them better then a similar offering from PF Changs and Flanigan's. I personally prefer Flanigan's the best but I still enjoyed the ones from Bonefish. The Maryland Crab Cakes were also very good, they could have had a little more salt on them though. For my main meal I ordered the Pecan Parmesan Crusted Rainbow Trout, it was a little oily but still tasted very good. It also had artichoke hearts on the plate, a few more on the plate would have also been nice. My wife ordered the Salmon, it was cooked perfectly and tasted great. We ended up overeating our appetisers and under-eating our meal; so we had it wrapped to go. The food tasted great the next day once the flavors melded together. I will say that it is not going to be a top go-to spot for us even though it's very close to home, but it is a nice place to eat if you are in the mood for some good seafood. We didn't get to try their steaks; sometimes the best meats are served at seafood restaurants. Next time we go back we will try their steaks.

Yes, so it's a chain restaurant but it's within walking distance to our place and it's cheaper than Novecento which is in the same plaza. The arctic char has become my go-to dish - always flavorful and fresh, while my husband likes their lobster roll. The drinks aren't bad either (their sangria is decent). We had a coupon for $20 off dinner and decided to stop in and take advantage of the offer. If you can, try to get Matthew - he was the *best* server! The only reason I don't give it a higher score is because their location is exactly where our Barnes & Noble used to be and I miss having a bookstore in Aventura :( I suppose there's some good to this tradeoff...

And my husband's tilapia they had to redo since they are pretty new and don't have an idea of what they are doing. Service is awful. I had to ask for service after sitting for 10 mi uses and no one came to take the order. Will not come back.

I've been to Bonefish twice for lunch and the salads and service and acoustics were terrific THe bread is a killer!. this was my first time for dinner and I was disappointed. The four of us sat at a bar table which was fine. Our salads came out first, two minutes later the appetizer, and before we finished eating the salads and appetizer (which should not come out at the same time), our main courses arrived. We felt extremely rushed. They offered to bring the food back in a few minutes, but that's always risky in my mind so we just finished our salads and ate room temperatured food. The manager came over and offered a free dessert. We are locals, not tourists, and the type who frequent a neighborhood restaurant often. If we wanted our drinks refilled, we had to keep asking. A good server sees it's empty and just refills it. My friend had to ask for lemon twice, and sat there waiting to eat her fish until he finally brought it. Portions were not that large, with a mini scoop of rice. My main thing is not having to inhale my food on a Saturday night. Because it's a mile from my apartment, I will eat there again, but not in the bar.

I was introduced to BoneFish on my 25th bday by my best friend. I immediately fell in love with the house made lemonade. I recently went back this past Saturday for my best friend's grad dinner and was put off by our waitress/server. She gave us incorrect information about them running out the house made lemonade so I have the settle for blueberry smash. She disappeared & did not bring us out bread or come to take our orders. I stopped someone named Brooke/Kristen who was in business attire and she made everything right. She was on top over everything.They did in fact have house made lemonade in the back which was ready. The manager comped our drinks and appetizer (bang bang shrimp). I really enjoyed the tilapia imperial and the side of crab fried rice I ordered. The pieces of crab meat was not mixed into the rice but placed on top of it. They was literally only 8 tiny pieces. This is the nearest location near me so I will return back.

I must say the food at this location is just OK but it takes upwards of 2 hours to get your order and it comes out cold.!! Its INSANE...This is the 3rd time I have gone there & they STILL DO NOT have it together at this location. I have been to numerous Bonefish grills in South Florida, as well as throughout the country ( when I travel on business) ...This place, by far, usually is a VERY consistent .. NOT here & the manager, while she is VERY nice can NOT handle it . Additionally they DO NOT serve the happy hour menu.They did & then all of a sudden stopped..Since the kids do not eat too much fish & t hey are not big eaters we looked at the happy hour menu ..since they had a smaller version of the lamb chops we thought we were set...only to get there & be told they do not serve the happy hour food ...WHAT ????? then I suggested the lobster grilled cheese...Guess what...they do NOT have it on the Aventura menu ....It seems that since they are a new location they have a scaled back menu The Staff is VERY confused...there is NO excuse for this being that this is a chain and they have some locations close in proximity...Hello...I grew up in the restaurant industry...take half of your staff( including your kitchen staff) and send them to other locations, team them up with GOOD experienced staff and TRAIN them PROPERLY take some of t he areas better staff & bring them here to train ... I know that they did this for a time in the first week but the staff did NOT catch on. .You have to ask 8 or 9 times for them to fill up your water. I must agree with Shay on the 3-22 visit that the blackened fish was WAY too salty..this is puzzling since I have blackened fish a different Bonefish Grills a bunch of times. Not only does the waitstaff have no idea how to wait on a table, but you can ask any of the other staff ( there are an abundance of them) for something,but the will say yes & then they will never come back...What is that all about...this is a basic serving rule...if someone asks for something you work as a team & get what is requested...There were 7 in out party & we all asked for water with lemon in the beginning, here she comes with the water no lemon, then we ask for lemon & here she comes with 3 slices of lemon ???? What ...can you count 7 glasses ALL ask for lemon & I will bring 3 ..If you want to go to Bonefish Grill SKIP this one & go to another one Ok so I gave this place 2 additional visits...My opinion....SKIP IT...the place is nice looking ,,, the food is OK... the waitstaff ... well you determine the wording...when a cold soup came to the table ( cold food seems to be the norm here ) ...We brought it tot he attention of the server& her answer was its not cold you don't know what you are talking about... WHAT????????? you work on tips, Yelena.... Then I saw the bartender place a drink on the service bar for a server to pick it up...prior to it being served... I saw 4 servers stick straws in it take some ( that is not a big issue because they did not sip from them but they got some of it from the bottom of the straw & it never touched their mouth BUT then the bartender added something to the drink and all 4 including Yelena ( our server) put their straws back into the drink & took some MORE ( after they all put the straws in their mouths !!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME ???????? Then the server picked up the drink & served it to a customer...If you don't want your server eating or drinking you food before you are served Reconsider going to this BONEFISH Grill .

I'm gonna have to give this one a two star rating.... Me and the wife had eaten at the Fort Lauderdale location one time before, and to be honest we were not enthralled by our first experience. Then we recieved in the mail a $20 off of $40+ total bill coupon. So we though what the heck, give it another try...We got the bang bang shrimp as an appetizer. It was good, and portion was good as well (subject to change knowing restaurants down here). Then my wife ordered the terryaki chicken bowl, and I the ribeye with garlic mashed potatoes and green snow peas. The waitress came around and took our order, got our drinks, then another waitress delivered the appetizer. I had to ask the second waitress for refills on drinks (which was an ongoing task throughout the dinner), and the bread that we thought was included with the meal like at other locations. The waitress then advised us that she was instructed only to serve bread when requested. Then the main course comes along shorly after.... Everything looks small... The portions are just as we remember them at the other location. Definitely not worth the price you pay. My wifes terryaki chicken had like a half of a half a chicken breast in it. The taste was good. But the value was dismal. The ribeye steak I had ordered was thin and also not cooked medium well as I had ordered. Although I do not know how someone could cook such a thin steak to medium well. At that point I was expecting that commercial where walmart walks in and surprises everyone and says did you know you were eating a walmart steak?! Yes, it really did have the consistency of a walmart steak... The mushroom bacon sauce it came with was good. Although I did not see any bacon in it at all. The sides were so tiny I almost had to get a microscope out to see them. I think my meal came with 6 snow peas and maybe 4-5 tablespoons of mashed potatoes. I don't really understand why this place is so wildly popular. The last time we ate here the fish servings and everything else were also small. They should maybe throw tapas into the middle of the name. "Bonefish Tapas Grill". Then we will know what to expect. Small portioned sometimes good flavored food, made in portions and at a price point to maximize profit without drawing too much attention to value.

Great dinner at the bar this evening. The bartender Dave was slammed but seriously worked his butt off to serve all the customers. It was extra busy this evening apparently due to $6 bang bang shrimp. I love me some bang bang shrimp but I opted for a meal instead. I had the tilapia imperial with rice and veggies. It was excellent. It is topped with crab and scallops along with capers. The veggies were zucchini and peppers and were nicely seasoned with Parmesan cheese. Everything about my meal was delicious.

This place has consistently gone south!! Went when they opened and several times after.. What happened??? Did they change the chef? Do they think the name is enough for success?? Well, same plates all the time and nop... Not good! The trout, below average and tiny! The chef salad, missing taste and balance... Also ordered more dressing and they brought a miniscule sample... Service as average. The place is clean... I do warn management that the floor near the restrooms is VERY slippery... Why?? Do they clean it well, or is it something with the tiles?? Beware, someone can fall!!! Other than that, enjoy.

The dipping sauce for the bread was way too salty. I had a bowl of spicy tuna but the rice it came with was mushy. You hardly could not see the grain of rice. Instead of fluffy rice, it was more like kid's play dough. The staff are nice and the atmosphere is very elegant but I am not sure I would go back.
(3)Traci B.
Enjoyed the dining experience, the food was delicious great service, nice ambience! I really wish there were a location in Los Angeles, California.

First time going to a bonefish grill and it was pretty good.I really enjoyed their appetizers. My family got the Rockefeller oyster (very very good) and the fried calamari. For entrees we had two pork chops and a steak. The pork chops were a little on the salty side and my steak was a little bland and over cooked. However, I must say that I enjoyed the Au gratin side that came with it. I would come again but just to try something new.
(4)Michelle H.
I went there twice. The first time i had the Atlantic Salmon with Broccoli and the Mango Salsa. It was delicious. The second time was over the weekend and I had the Glazed Lamb Chops with Green Beans. The service was remarkable and the atmosphere was awesome. I totally loved it.

I have personally been to other restaurants in the chain of Bonefish. I have had a much better experience than the one that our party of 12 had on Sunday afternoon. This is not the place for a large party and definitely not a party that has more than 2 children. The portions were extremely small and the bill was extremely large. We were not happy as a group and will not be visiting the chain again. Our waitresses (2) were not attentive to the group as a whole and we had to continuously ask for refills or any attention at all. I am a very good tipper and expect to be treated like a consumer who is appreciated; unfortunately on Sunday afternoon, I did not!
(1)Donna S.
Absolutely love the place. The food is phenomenal and the service is superb. I've never been to a place with better experience. Always come and never let down.
(5)Marisa H.
I have eaten at bonefish grill at other locations but the one at Biscayne is amazing. The service was excellent, the suggestions made by our server were superb and the blacked fish tacos to die for. Highly recommend this restaurant and location to any one.

This restaurant opened about a week ago. I think it's a great addition to Aventura. I had a coupon for a free order of Bar Bites and we were in the area, so Mom, Clyde, and I stopped by for Happy Hour. The restaurant was very attractive and the people working there were friendly and outgoing. Instead of just having a drink and an appetizer we decided to stay for supper. We started with drinks, $3.25 each for Happy Hour. Next I ordered shrimp sliders with my free Bar Bites coupon. There were three buns, shrimp, and sauce. We each made our own little sandwich. It was okay for an appetizer. The shrimp were good. I wasn't crazy about the bun. The dish needed something to jazz it up a little. Maybe some spices or hot sauce. Our server put their delicious bread and herbed oil on the table. I had forgotten how much I like their bread. I couldn't stop eating it. For our entrees Mom had fish and chips, Clyde had the pork chop with garlic mashed potatoes, and I had blackened fish tacos with garlic mashed potatoes. I had to sample Mom's and Clyde's dishes. I loved Mom's entrée. Her fish and chips was delicious. The fish was mild, the coating was light with a slight crispness. The French fries were perfect. The fish came with ketchup and tarter sauce. The tarter sauce tasted homemade. Clyde's pork chop was thick, tender, and delicious. The mushroom gravy was so flavorful. He loved his side of garlic mashed potatoes. I enjoyed my blackened fish tacos and my side of garlic mashed potatoes. There were three plump tacos filled with tender fish, mango salsa, and lime crema. I would order that again. The service couldn't have been better. Even though the restaurant had gotten busy, our server was always checking on us to see if we needed anything. He went out of his way to make us feel welcome. The next time I'm there I want to try the Bar Bites doughnuts, which are three small doughnuts that you fill with chocolate and salted caramel sauces. Sounds yummy.

Only been one my food was okay. The location was okay and the service was okay. No complaints overall I enjoyed it. Great family place or to link up with a group of friends who like seafood..

Attended the soft opening of Bonefish Grill in Aventura. It was a great experience ! From the greeter to the reservation attendant to the waitresses, the service was friendly and on point. Started off with calamari as an appetizer and a delicious crab corn chowder. Then for entrees it was scallops and shrimp in pesto sauce with garlic mashed potatoes that was delicious. My friend ordered a salmon like fish with the crab fried rice and we also had as an extra side the mac n cheese with truffles that was very good. Finished off the night with a Crème Brule with fresh berries and whipped cream was exactly right. Not too sweet and the consistency was perfect. Definitely worth coming back for sure!

The lilys chicken wasn't the best the goat cheese smelled and tasted a little too musty, but my daughter loved the shrimp bang bang.

This place always holds a special place in my heart... It's where I had the pleasure of having a second date with the love of my life! Ok... So really, about the FOOD... Overall this place has a great selection of items and most importantly FISH! The selections are always grilled or cooked to your liking, well seasoned and great presentation. Their Mussels are GREAT - when they have them available. The Tomato Avocado Salad is well seasoned and the hint of cilantro adds a great flavor. You can't go wrong with their fish tacos and as a main dish I've had the Salmon and it's been well seasoned and cooked great. I have had it with their Lemon Butter sauce. I wouldn't recommend the White Truffle Mac & Cheese - for some reason it didn't taste so well. If your thinking of a southern style and flavor of this kind of dish, unfortunately it doesn't come close. Overall this place is great for a date or just a nigh out to eat and have some drinks!
(5)Perry J.
I hate resturant that nickel and dime you. I hate spirit airlines where every thing is extra. Just include the extras in the price. I really just hate companies that do this! It's the principle just charge more for the product and stop nickel and dime people! As far as the fish, the fish is average at Bone Fish. Red Lobster has a better fish. Really the parmesan encrusted tilapia is amazing! How can Red lobster $15 fish beat Bone Fish Grills $28 fish? Amazes me every time! Bone Fish is over rated! :(
(2)Rob G.
So what do I think of Aventura's latest edition? Let me tell you, as a "pescatarian", I was really excited to hear when they were opening. My first visit was this past Wednesday night. My son and I arrived around 9. We walked in, and went straight to the bathrooms to wash our hands. Upon walking through the door, I got a first impression of the place. Nice décor, but just a big open box. There was a wall with wine separating the dining room and bar dining area, and as I walked through the main dining area, it didn't seem all that big. I noticed two private dining rooms on the far side of the restaurant, as well. Bathrooms weren't a big mess, but not as clean as one would like to see. As we went back to the hostess area, to ask for seats, they were like, thanks for coming and bye, and I just had to laugh, because they didn't realize that just 2 minutes earlier, we walked through the door and told them we were going to the restrooms, and would like to be seated afterwards. Busy night I guess (lol). I saw a booth/high-top at the bar area, and asked if the main menu was available in this area, and they said "Yes" so I requested to sit there, as none of the booths were available in the main dining area. They said of course, and seated us. As we sat and started cruising through the menu there were a lot of dishes and apps I wanted to try. Our waiter came by, young man whose name I didn't catch, asked us what we were drinking, and informed us that "Wednesday is bang bang shrimp day", so the appetizer was half-off. We ordered one, with our drinks, son ordered the shrimp pad-thai bowl, and I was somewhat on the fence. I asked him what fish they recommend, and he said the "arctic char" was popular, as well as the "rainbow trout". I ended up going with the arctic char, which he described as a mix between Salmon and Trout, not as strong as Salmon and was a wild fish. Drinks came, and the appetizer came shortly thereafter. It was a nice size appetizer, and even better at the nightly special price. It had a little too much mayo for my taste, compared to other places that serve this type of dish, but overall it was nice. Had some green lettuce at the bottom which was like a mini salad with the bang-bang sauce/shrimp on top. Next came the main dishes. The pad-thai was very good size for the price, and my dish also was decent size. The portion of fish I thought could be larger, but I was satisfied being that we had the appetizer first. My dish came with a seasonal veggie (green beans) and a side of choice, which I choose broccoli. Both dishes were very enjoyable, and was cooked properly. Overall very satisfying. So here is my conclusion: FOOD: Im kinda between 3-4 stars, so I will say its a solid 3.5, could be a 4. For a chain, they certainly are better than others, and the food selection and quality are over par. The food was cooked properly, and came out in a very reasonable amount of time. The price was also inline, and they have specials in terms of better price offerings, and also seasonal food selections. SERVICE: I wouldn't say bad, but our server was somewhat lackadaisical. He was attentive but forgetful. He kept asking us how we were, but didn't bring us plates for the appetizer, didn't bring us silverware, didn't bring us any bread (when our neighbors had 2 servings). Another staff member asked if he can come in and grab a bottle of wine behind me. It was actually in the aisle between the 2 tables, but I thought it was very respectful that he asked if he could grab a bottle, as to not interrupt or intrude on us. As a joke, I said something like, if you need anyone to sample that wine, to make sure it was ok, I would offer my services for that, and his response was, he would gladly pour me a sample of wine of my choice, which he did, and made a great recommendation based on the meal I ordered. So I am giving 3 stars for service, just based on the fact I had to ask for plates, had to ask for silverware, and got no bread. Could easily be a 4. RESTAURANT - The restaurant itself was nice, easy to get to, plenty of parking, and overall pleasant. I did get the impression it was a big open box, but it wasn't overly loud and the décor was nice. Bathroom could be cleaner, but not so messy. I would certainly come back and visit this restaurant, being that it is so close to home, and so easily accessible. It is a great addition to Aventura restaurant scene, even for a chain, just having more variety is a big plus. I have read some other reviews that were bashing this place, perhaps due to recently opening, and still working out the kinks, but I didn't get the feeling that it was disorganized and the bottom line, the food was good. 3 stars for today, perhaps on next visit, they will earn another star. Give them a try.

We just celebrated my son's birthday there and it was a fantastic experience! We had the most delicious drinks I've had in a long time and the food was beyond our expectations. I really recommend the coffee martini, modern mojito and pork shop with fontina cheese, prosciutto, mushrooms n wine sauce. And the service was excellent!! So glad we took a chance and visited for d first time.
(5)Jim A.
Came here with optimism, but...Horrible. Terribly small portions. Understaffed. Salmon grossly overcooked. Sea bass flavorless. Red lobster is a better choice.
(1)Jee K.
I was traveling Miami Beach and visited here since this is my favorite restaurant back at home. Well... my experience was very bad. The wait staff service was horrible. Our server name was Alexis she was rudest server I have ever met. Our drinks were not served before the bread and she would disappear for longest time and come back just a few times to check on us. Never heard what the special of the day and she was finishing every sentence with "... okay?!? (like do you understand what i am saying?)" - treat customers really bad. She was leaning over our table or table seperator and treat us too casual. I would understand if this was Denny's but I am expecting better service at the Bonefish! (Back at home it's top service.) Food was great and other staffs were good but they need to do something about the servers. I will never go back to this location because of her.
(2)Jonathan G.
Amazing food, awesome presentation, and exceptional service. I ordered the lamb chops and my friend ordered the house burger. The burger was super moist, and not over seasoned. The lamb chops we're cooked perfectly and had a great marindae. ( it didn't even have that chewy texture most lamb has. The sides that come with the meal are huge and delicious, the fresh baked bread they bring is awesome. The price is pretty decent. 7 chops and 2 sides for $21.99. I will definitely be back soon.
(5)Laura R.
Came here last night for my boss's birthday dinner with his family and it was a horrible dining experience. Our server was either high and couldn't do his job, or he just shouldn't be a server at all. He messed up one of our orders, the filet mignon, and without even apologizing or asking if we wanted something else instead, he simply took it and didn't come back for 10 minutes to tell us they were making a new one. We waited and waited, by that point everyone else had eaten except the one who ordered the filet mignon. By the time we had paid, her dinner hadn't even come out yet. Of course, they CHARGED us for the meal, you know, the meal one of the people at the table ordered and had yet to eat. By this point my boss was furious, his two kids (2 and 4) we're getting irritated of sitting down for such a long time and were basically screaming, one of the people at the table hadn't even had dinner, our server was clueless and missing, and of course, they had charged us. He decided to call the manager over, Demonte, who was also clueless and told us that "had he been aware" of the issue he would've tried to handle it. Seriously? What kind of management oversees this restaurant? He then proceeded to offer us vouchers for NEXT TIME and a slice of key lime pie... Mind you, a SLICE, like that would instantly fix things. Overall, my boss walked out of the restaurant saying this had been the worst birthday dinner he had ever had. What was supposed to be a delicious and fun night out with friends and family turned into a headache. I doubt we be coming back anytime soon, at least not while Demonte is working and overseeing the restaurant.

We got the pleasure of eating the Bang Bang Shrimp for dinner. We ordered one with sauce on the side. I have to say that the sauce was creamy and very well seasoned. There was just enough spice for taste and didn't dominate the flavor. The shrimp was lightly breaded with a good seasoning. I found it pleasing to taste the shrimp and sauce separately and the combination of the two is mouth watering! Excelent as an appetizer or as the main dish.

My family and I were excited that a Bonefish Grill had opened by our home. Perhaps our expectations were high since we frequent the Bonefish Grill in Ft. Lauderdale and are always EXTREMLY pleased. We visited the Bonefish Grill in Aventura on a Saturday late afternoon. I have to add that the atmosphere was not comparable to the other Bonefish Grills in South Florida (have been to all). It was chaotic... loud pop music playing and it was evident that the staff was overwhelmed and confused with all the pacing back and forth by managers and waiters. It seemed like our waiter never had any waiting experience and no idea what costumer service is about. He did not ask how our food was, or refill our drinks, and did not bring us any bread until we asked. The wait was long and unapologetic. The "manager" chose to greet select elderly guest but ignored our table. Perhaps she was tired of feeding guest with excuses. The food was so salty; in particular the blackened fish tacos and calamari. My husband asked for a manager after he put his fork in the "jasmine rice" which looked more like sticky rice. In a minute a manager we had not seen ( I had seen about 4 walking around back and forth ) came to our table chewing her gum loudly as she heard my husbands complaint of the food and how we had not had our drinks refilled. She said she was sorry and would take the dish off our bill and still did not offer to refill our drink. At this point my children were coughing and sucking on ice cubes. .. no exaggeration. I left with lips feeling as if I stepped out of the ocean and extremely dehydrated and sad that we did not experience what we had hoped. I had to open a yelp account in hopes that complaints would be heard and changes will be made. No doubt we will not be returning to this location.
(1)Latoya S.
Not only this location, but Bonefish Grille in general seems to have the worse side dishes. All of there side items are distasteful. Even I can do a better side item than them. I've tried every side item on there menu and at every location I've visited they were all disgusting. Everything else is not to bad, but for the price I would just recommend going elsewhere if possible.
(3)Elio P.
Really like the new look and the Bang Bang Shrimp platter is unbelievable. The staff is really attentive and friendly.
(5)Javier S.
I was there last night, i really liked the place, servers were really nice, good food and we didn't have to wait long until food was served. I will go back to try more good stuff
(5)Andrea F.
I really really love fresh fish. I love how creative they are with the food presentation. The bread and oil was super yummy, and the tuna stack very flavorful. The staff was on point with every service step but it kind of felt a bit too corporate to the point they sounded robotic and boring.
(4)Donna L.
Sure nice bartender great food, cooked to perfection. Great value. Fresh and delicious
(4)Mark C.
We went in for Father's Day and had a great time. The staff was attentive and prompt. The ingredients and spices were fresh and good. Love the Aventura location.
(4)Therese A.
Place has potential. Food fresh, tasty. They need to train their servers. Although very pleasant she was slow and disorganized. Took forever to take our order. Soup came after entrees. All in all a pleasant experience and we will return.
(3)Gigi M.
Bonefish is known for their $5 Bang-Bang Wednesday. However, this newest location does not honor this and charges over$11 for their Bang Bang. The place is nice and the service was good. Until this location does their Bang Bang special, I will be going to the Ft. Lauderdale location who sticks with what is tried and true.
