\"\"<\/a>I don\u2019t normally review chain restaurants but had the desire for seafood the other night and Bonefish Grill<\/a>was the \u201cbest\u201d choice given my attire (not fancy dressed) and the time I had to plan (almost zero.)\u00a0 We thought about going to Cajuns but decided against it.\u00a0 My wife and I decided on Bonefish and\u00a0invited a friend to\u00a0the Cantrell Road location this last weekend for dinner.<\/p>\n

We arrived at 6pm and were told we had a 45 minute wait.\u00a0 We took our buzzer and sat down at a table in the middle of the bar.\u00a0 We did not order any food although we could have.\u00a0 In fact, you can eat an entire dinner in the bar but we wanted to sit in a more relaxed area to eat.\u00a0 Bonefish is \u201cupper\u201d casual in that I wouldn\u2019t feel comfortable wearing shorts there but do feel comfortable wearing jeans.\u00a0 It is decorated nicely and has a huge kitchen.\u00a0 Their bar is typically packed with people so get there early if you want\u00a0a seat to sit in while you wait.<\/p>\n

Bang Bang Shrimp<\/p><\/div>\n

About 45 minutes went by and we were given a seat in the middle of the restaurant.\u00a0 We ordered the appetizer of Bang Bang Shrimp<\/strong> ($7.90) and I ordered the Maryland Crab Cake Dinner<\/strong> ($16.)\u00a0 We also placed our drink orders and waited.\u00a0 We waited for quite some time for our waiter to return and he brought a basket of fresh bread on his return.\u00a0 He mixed some olive oil onto a plate in front of us with herbs and it was wonderful with the bread.\u00a0 The bread must have been fresh baked or much improved from my last trip because it tasted great.\u00a0 I was very impressed with it and it along with the olive oil was gone in short order.<\/p>\n

We had to flag down our waiter to order a drink for my wife and I didn\u2019t get a refill of my iced tea, ever.\u00a0 The place was busy but the service we received was pretty bad.\u00a0 The waiter was nice but slow.\u00a0 We received the appetizer of Bang Bang Shrimp and dug in.\u00a0 The shrimp was nicely fried and not too greasy.\u00a0 The sauce on the shrimp had a nice kick to it and a great flavor.\u00a0 There was just enough of the appetizer for three people with a little left over.\u00a0 I would definitely order it again.<\/p>\n

Crab Cake Dinner<\/p><\/div>\n

Our entrees followed up about 30 minutes later (they were running very slow).\u00a0 My first reaction was \u201cWow, the economy has really hit Bonefish.\u201d\u00a0 I said this because I used to receive two huge crab-cakes when I ordered the crab cake dinner.\u00a0 Instead, I had two very tiny mounds of crab with a heap of potato au-gratin on the side.\u00a0 The crab mounds were about 1 inch in diameter.\u00a0\u00a0 I don\u2019t know what happened but they used to be huge.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Regardless of the size, the crab cakes tasted wonderful.\u00a0 They had a nice buttery texture to them and had great flavor.\u00a0 They were small but very good.\u00a0 The potato au gratin had just the right amount of cheese in them and had a great texture as well.\u00a0 They tasted good and I didn\u2019t leave any on my plate.\u00a0 I do wish there was more crab on the plate and would have been hungry had I not had some of the appetizer first.\u00a0 I will order it again but I hope they include more next time.<\/p>\n

For dessert I had the\u00a0Macadamia Nut Brownie<\/strong>($5.50) which is a \u201cflourless brownie with\u00a0raspberry sauce and\u00a0vanilla ice cream\u201d.\u00a0 The brownie is heated with a melted chocolate sauce poured over the top.\u00a0 This is one of my favorite desserts and I\u2019ve been known to go to Bonefish Grill just for the dessert alone.\u00a0 It\u2019s great and something I have ordered in the past and will order again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
