Bonefish Grill

This weekend I was really wanting to try something new instead of eating at the same old restaurant. My hubby suggested we try Bonefish Grill. This really shocked me because 1) my hubby doesn't eat much seafood, 2) hubby is allergic to shrimp, 3) hubby is afraid to try new places. I was concerned it might be too expensive. but I decided to give it a go because it was either that or pizza again.
By the time we made a decision and actually got to the restaurant I was starving to put it lightly. I was so hoping for some bread, but being a seafood restaurant I was doubtful there would be any. I was pleasantly surprised when not only bread, but that yummy olive oil/herb dip showed up! SO delicious!
The menu has a little bit of something for everyone. They are known for their Bang Bang shrimp appetizer. I tried it on my second visit (yes I went a second time one week later) and while I liked the flavor, I don't think I could finish the whole appetizer. It is a spicy fried shrimp that does not have a whole lot of coating that is served in a spicy creamy sauce.
For my meal, I decided to go with wood fire grilled shrimp and scallops. I love scallops and cannot seem to make them at home. Bonefish has a seasonal side and you get the choice of one side. Their seasonal side was a succotash. Succotash just does not sound very appealing, but I decided to go with it and have herbed jasmine rice with it. You also get to choose dipping sauces. I went with the lemon butter, chimichurri, and the asian sauce. My hubby decided to go with a Kobe burger which came with home made potato chips. When the meal came, it was very visually appealing. I, of course had to taste the burger. Delicious! So flavorful. The hubby was in burger heaven. Then I went to tackle my plate. The shrimp and scallops were cooked to perfection. The lemon butter sauce was as expected and tasty. The chimichurri sauce was an herby, slightly spicy sauce and oh so good. The asian inspired sauce was like a barbeque sauce flavor and overwhelmed the flavor of the shrimp and scallops. Now, on to the succotash. It was a succotash made with bacon, onion, corn, and edemame. Let me say, that after tasting it, I decided there was not nearly enough succotash on my plate. YUM!!!
After all of that delectable food, I was stuffed! However, we were at a new place and there was a coconut dessert on the menu (Jen's coconut pie) so we decided we had to go for it. The pie was the perfect ending to an awesome meal. There was just a small amount of custard, lots of yummy coconut and served with a coconut rum glaze. So good.
One week after eating at Bonefish I was craving it again. I thought I might try something new, but my meal was so good, I got the same thing again. I was not disappointed in the least!
Needless to say, we will be frequent diners at Bonefish!
