Went here on a whim with a friend and a houseguest. We each ordered different plates and the entire dinner conversation was about how delicious each item was! It was after the dinner rush hour but the place was still packed. We sat in the lounge. The wait staff was informative and friendly. We ask them to surprise us and it was a wise decision. Looking forward to my next visit.

Our waiter Quinn was friendly and checked in just often enough. The food was delicious. The bread smelled heavenly and was so yummy. They went a little overboard on coating the Ahi Tuna Sashimi with seeds. The soy sauce masked the seed flavor enough, though. The sweet tea was perfect. The bacon was a little well done on the Bacon-Wrapped Scallops. Quinn wanted to make sure I liked the scallops--they were beautiful and perfectly done. I guess not many people pull the bacon off and just eat the scallops! The trout was good too. I'm glad I got the sauce for it, rather than just the lemon. It's a fish that needs sauce. We were offered dessert, which we declined, and after we paid, another waiter walked by carrying coffee. I wish we had been offered coffee! I just didn't even think about it. Oh well, maybe next time.

Bonefish is delicious every time I go. I always start off with the bang bang shrimp simply because you can not eat at bonefish without ordering it. Second I always get a salad. I love the hearts of palm and other toppings that come on their salads. I feel their dressings are always a little to rich. What I order as a main dish always defers but nothing really stands out. Everything is always good but the appetizers and salads usually stick out more to me. I feel like the portions are a little on the small side too. The service is always good and prompt. However, I feel like every time I go they are always training someone new!

One of our favorites. Of the Bloomin' Brands restaurant chains, this one is the best. The food is consistent and consistently good, which is important; and the quality and value for the money makes it one of our favorites. You can eat light or indulge; you can spend conservatively or bust the bank as you choose; there is always something new and interesting on the menu; and the seafood is always fresh and prepared well. For a chain, this one breaks the chain mold, and at least for the Hoover restaurant at the Galleria, this one appears to be run like an upscale, privately owned restaurant. The place is clean, the staff is friendly and professional, and I've never had a bad meal here. Always leave here happy.

Sunday brunch in Hoover!. Bonefish excellence at a new time of the day. One of the few decent restaurants in this area to offer brunch. Great service, nice atmosphere and good food - always a winning combination.

It is a wonderful quiet, peaceful place to unwind. I go there weekly and it is a great experience every time. The plus side is it is so close to home so I dont have to drive 30 min in five o clock traffic to have a nice dinner.

Far better than I deserved. I hate people like me. Showing up without a reservation at a popular restaurant on a Saturday night, circling the parking lot for 5 minutes looking for an empty spot, cuz the place is just that packed, I actually had the nerve to walk in and ask if they could feed me. I was nice about it, and willing to hear "Are you nuts?" The hostess may have *wanted* to say that, but she didn't. She looked around at the full restaurant, looked at the people already waiting for a table and asked how many were in my party. I told her I was by myself, hoping that would work in my favor. She said she could probably have a table for me in twenty minutes which was a lot better than I'd hoped for.

She gave me one of those pager thingies and I went outside to wait. I'd been sitting for maybe 3 minutes, 5 tops when the pager went off. I don['t know how she did it. I wonder if she realized that with no companion to talk to during dinner I wouldn't be apt to dawdle and would be in and out fairly quickly and she moved me ahead of other people. I have no idea. All I know is I was put at a table for 4 and darn grateful for it.

I'd perused the menu online and knew what I wanted. When my waitress came for my drink order I told her I knew I was taking up valuable real estate and told her I was ready to place my order if she was ready to take it. I got the Wagyu Beef and Ginger Dumplings. I asked them to hold the Thai chilis cuz I'm a wimp. She kindly warned me that I'd better ask for the sauce on the side, just in case. I also ordered the wood grilled lobster tails having recently discovered them. She asked what side I wanted and I asked if she liked the garlic whipped potatoes or the potatoes au gratin. She was firm in her insistence that I get the au gratin. I'm glad I listened to her. She brought a cute square shaped loaf of bread when she brought my soda. Soon after the appetizers came. The sauce was wonderful! I quickly poured it over the dumplings and made quick work of them. The lobster was incredible. two tails, split. The grill marks added to their appeal. To be sure, the butter wasn't clarified, but that's the only thing I would change. Those au gratin potatoes were so rich, that if the serving had been any larger I couldn't have finished it. "Luscious" is really the only word to adequately describe them. You MUST try that side dish! Even the veg of the day was good. Zucchini and tomato with Parmesan cheese cooked under a broiler. It is one of the best meals I have ever had in umpty ump years of eating.

The seated me--quickly--when they should have laughed at me.
The waitress was very efficient and her recommendation was spot on. She was confident enough (and knew the menu well enough) to convince me to follow her suggestions.
The food was the kind of food that makes you feel like a millionaire being served by your own butler in your penthouse when you eat it.
And I didn't have to take out a 2nd mortgage to pay for it!
It took me a loooooong time to check this place out but it won't take me a long time to go back for more.

Good and Consistent. Everything I've ever ordered here is always delish! They are consistent with every dish - It's definitely a good place for the picky because you can customize the fish that you order. Love the mussels and bang bang shrimp.

Flavorful, fresh tasting food. LOVE the Bang Bang Shrimp. I've been twice and look forward to the next visit. Service was great, and the food came out quickly. Good kids menu- grand kids loved the popcorn shrimp. Server let me "upgrade" the crab cakes appetizer to an entree. With a salad it was plenty! And the house vinaigrette is tasty. Go at non-peak times or make a reservation. It gets busy at dinner.

Excellent fresh seafood. Have eaten at this location since it opened. From what I hear each location has it's own fishmonger and sources for fresh seafood. This is probably consistently the best in b'ham. If you like fresh seafood then this is the place for you and the wood grilled flavor is also excellent. Staff is usually very good also. Enjoy.

Consistent. Third time dining here and have left happy each time. Bang bang shrimp is a must and the creme brulee is excellent. I ate off the specials menu for my entree and was more than satisfied with both taste and portion size. Service is usually good but can be hit and miss. Will return.

Good. Bonefish is always good. I like both the bang bang shrimp appetizer and the grilled fontina chop. Their olive oil dipping sauce is wonderful. We usually go for lunch and the prices are very reasonable.

Very Good, Reasonably Priced. Neither my companion nor I had been there before, and didn't know what to expect.
The atmosphere was that of a fine-dining restaurant, and the waiter was better than average, though not perfect.
We started with a crab-cake appetizer, which was as good as any I've had, and much better than most (especially the nice, hot & spicy sauce) . I'd compare them to the crab cakes at John's City Diner.

I had grilled shrimp and scallops, which were very good, although the waiter wasn't willing to specify that the scallops would be cooked medium rare. They were medium, which was OK, though not what I had asked for. Still, really good.

My lovely companion had intended to try "Lily's Chicken," but the waiter mentioned that she could also take her choice between several different offerings of fresh fish, prepared "Lily's" way. She opted for the filet of grouper, which was grilled to perfection and, being "Lily's," was topped with artichoke hearts, goat cheese and spinach. I tried her dish, and it was as good a seafood dish as I have had anywhere. There's only been one other occasion when I'd give a meal a score of ten out of ten, and that was not in Birmingham. As for my own meal, it gets a good, solid 8.5 out of ten, and the crab cake appetizer another ten.
We shared a dessert of chocolate creme brulee', which was very tasty and beautifully presented, and a fine way to finish our dining experience.
Our meal, including dessert, a nice cocktail, and a glass of wine, totaled $75 before tip.
I have spent lots more for a lot less.
I recommend Bonefish Grill for a romantic evening with a date, with your spouse, or for a date with your spouse.

Good Seafood-Good Prices. This is one of the better seafood restaurants in the area with decent prices. The bacon wrapped scallops and bang shrimp are tongue pleasing for sure. And the Hpnotini is as hynotic as it's name. If you can go when thet first open it is a great place for a cozy 1st date.

Great place to eat!. I love the Bonefish Grill because they serve more than just seafood. I get the porckchop plate with fresh veggies and garlic mashed potatoes...which are AMAZING! I always finish off the meal with their creame brulee. I have never tasted a dessert that has even came close to their creame brulee. Will definately be back to eat there in the near future!

Really Good Seafood Restaurant, with Fine Dining Atmosphere. Love the Mussels! They are a sister restaurant to another one of my favorite restaurants, Carrabas Italian Grill, and I love them both. The Bang Bang Shrimp are great as well.

Consistantly good food. Ample parking & convienent location near the galleria mall. Good service in comfortable modern surroundings. Annoying that this chain requires servers are dressed as chefs (anology: a traffic cop posing as a navy seal) but alas- a good marketing tool. The bang bang shrimp are a must! Like she said- this restaurant is not closed.

In addition to the fish and chips, the Bang Bang Shrimp starter is nice if you're in the mood for something fried and spicy.

Another excellent dining experience! The Crab Cakes were delicious. The Rockefeller Butterfish melts in your mouth, and their handcrafted cocktails are always perfect. The Smoked Old Fashioned that our waiter Joey recommended, was picture perfect.

Really great food. A friendly and caring waitress. Despite being busier than usual, according to Google, we were seated in just a couple of minutes. I enjoyed the ambient lighting. Restrooms were clean, staff was clean, alert and attentive. I look forward to bringing friends. I brought my toddler and he also loved the food. He thoroughly enjoyed the bang bang shrimp, and they put the sauce on the side in case it was too spicy for him.

It was a Sunday night and the first restaurant we’d plan to eat at had closed at 8pm. We googled Bonefish Grill to find out they closed at 9pm. We arrived about 8:25, asked if we could still order and the Host was welcoming and said “absolutely!” The menu was loaded with a variety of pricing options, and creative flavors and combinations of seafood, steak, salads, appetizers with caloric value listed with pricing. I chose linguine pasta with jumbo shrimp and artichokes tossed in a creamy creole sauce. Absolutely delicious. I’m wavering between a 4 or 5 star rating but our server was obviously unhappy about having another table to wait on. It’s not to difficult to offer a smile, instead of showing unhappiness.

We really enjoyed our dinner here. I ordered the 12oz bone-in pork chop, it was so juicy and tender. We also order a seafood/cheese dip for our appetizer and that was wonderful as well! The service was exceptional. I can’t wait to go again. 5 STARS!!

Amazing food!! Loved the bang bang shrimp appetizer. This could have been a great meal on its own. The fried cod was really good. Grilled Salmon was perfectly grilled. The lime tomato sauce made it perfect. Grilled scallops and shrimp were delicious. Generous portions

All four visits were excellent. This last time we were seated in the back it was extremely cold. BUT!!! WE HAD A AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN WAIT ON OUR TABLE. I couldn't get a good look at her name Friday June 17,2022 around 4:30- 5pm. Anywho she amazed me on how knowledgeable she was with the menu and the different types of food. She was very friendly and patient with me and my spouse and another couple was placed in her area she was just as attentive with their needs & wants as well as ours.
