My husband and I went to the Gainesville, VA location last night for dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We arrived after 8:00pm and it looked like they were closing down the booths as you walk in the restaurant. The hostess wanted to sit us at the back where there is a lot of commotion with servers and where they roll off the paper in the back of your booth for the tables. I really didnt want that after I told her it was our anniversary, you would think she would have chosen a nicer location in the restaurant. We both ordered the crab cakes and they were not your typical crab cakes, they were flaky and just average, nothing special. They have that red remoulade sauce (red means cayenne pepper) to try to enhance the taste, in my opinion. My husband ordered tea that looked like water and asked for some tea that looked like tea and she said we can brew some more tea if you want. He said, no, thats ok, I will have a coke. The waitress drug the trash cans across the floor by us when we were eating, then proceeded to wait on the patrons in back of us. They are trying to be upscale, when they are a far cry from there. Needless to say, we will not be going back there. It is not what it is hyped up to be for sure.

The bottom line: I found pubic hair in my food. Now! Ive found hair in my food before in other restaurants like many people have but, this was pubic hair. And, it was placed on my food like garnish. I dont know if its because I was from outta of town or what (I stuck out like a sore thumb in more ways the one but, thats a whole other issue) but... Whatever! In the end the manager came over and by the look in her face when she saw the pubic hair just reinforced my suspicion but, I just kept it to myself... Until I was in town again and Bonefish Grill was an option but, the hair issue came up and we all confirmed what each of us felt - that it was probably done intentionally so, we went some where else. Well, If someone was trying to send me a message to not come back, it worked.

Two of us had the crab cake dinner. Were big connoisseurs of good crab dishes, and this wasnt one. Neither of us enjoyed it very much, both not liking the taste and agreeing they were just way too spicy. Good tasting crab is better without too much seasoning and spice in our opinion. Weve eaten crab cakes at many restaurants and these were definitely some of the worst. To their credit, they didnt have much filler, but the seasoning sacrificed the wonderful natural flavor of good lump crab. The dish came with spaghetti squash which was fairly tasteless. Not a big fan of spaghetti squash so I may not be the best judge there. Overall, it was a disappointing meal.

The food is decent. I recommend the bang bang shrimp. The food is more on the salty side. I brought my mom and my five year old for an early dinner on a Saturday. It was not as busy as I expected it be. The staff were friendly. The lighting was horrible. I had a hard time seeing my menu. My mother that wear reading glasses was also having a hard time along with the older couple that sat behind us. The booths were roomy and comfortable. Everything was clean and they were quick to serve. Overall the experience was a good one. My mother wont go back but I might.

Well its Valentines Day. I had no lunch. Getting a headache, while standing in a sea of people waiting to be seated. Some people have been waiting over an hour. We have been waiting for 40 minutes thus far with a reservation for 7:00pm. We are being told that we are waiting, because people are sitting too long for dinner, but I think it is due to the over booking every 30 minutes that is the real reason for our wait. Tonight I will have to rate very low.

Stopped by for an early dinner on a Sunday and was greeted by three hosts and led through a dining room with a lot of open tables. After ten minutes of being ignored, we left. Ironically, a fourth host asked how everything was when we left. We told her that we didnt know because we were never even served water or acknowledged by wait staff. Wont waste our time with this location again.

We had a large family gathering at the Gainesville location and although the food was good, I was very disappointed it took ~30 minutes to get coffee and tea; long after we were done with dessert. I was told they only have ONE brewer to make regular, decaf and tea for the entire restaurant. The servers were very apologetic however the manager was less than helpful.

Fantastic place, my family loves the Mussels Josephine and Bang Bang shrimp. The service is top notch, for example recently we were there and the shrimp dish did not seem to be up to par with their usual standards. I notified our server and he immediately apologized. He then went ahead re-ordered it for us and removed the charge for that dish.

DO NOT come here on a day like Mothers Day. We had a reservation and still waited 45 minutes for a table. We got drinks right away and ordered an appetizer.The waitress was so busy with other tables, it was another 20 minutes before she was able to take our dinner order. Bang Bang Shrimp.. as good as they say! Overall not an enjoyable event

Were not big on seafood, but there was a special dinner for two promotion that we checked out: dinner was really good, nice atmosphere, attentive wait staff. Bonefish isnt as pricey as Legal Seafood up in the Boston area, and as I mentioned before, we dont go out of our way to go to seafood restaurants, but this was a nice night out.

Food is just ok. I had the brunch burger, with an egg on top. Why do they ask how you want something cooked, if they are just going to cook the jeebers out of it and serve it well done? Plus, salt is a condiment, not a side dish. Burger was way too highly salted. Here is a crazy idea, let the customer salt their own food.

I have never had anythings but wonderful experiences and great food at Bonefish Grill in Gainesville, VA. I recommend it highly. The servers are pleasant and attentive, the managers are wonderful, and the food, and drink, is simply wonderful. No ifs, ands or buts. Try the Bang Bang Shrimp, and the Hypnotic Martini!!!

Good food and environment for a special dinner. Management staff has always been accommodating. Service is good most of the service weve talked to there has tried the food and are willing to share their favorites. revisited yesterday. still nice.

With all of the competing restaurants in this town, none stand up to Bonefish Grill! Consistent friendly professional service with delicious meals that are beautifully presented. And three words that keep us coming back for more: Bang Bang Shrimp!

Ate the Chilean Sea Bass, and it was wonderful. Will be returning tomorrow for my birthday for a repeat experience.! We dont dine out often but this is my preference for nice occasions.
