Bonefish Grill Reviews

This is one of my go-to spots for seafood. The mahi-mahi and Chilean sea bass are amaaaaazing! Good drinks. (Pomegranate Martini) is my fav!

On 4/27/21 around 7:48 at Pineville location in Charlotte NC. My two married gay dads and I entered this eatablishment only to be discriminated against because we are a part of the bglt community. We were greeted with some lady hostess with the frizzy hair who did not want to seat us because we’re either gay, because we were of different nationality, or because she was judging what we were wearing? Her lame exscuse which was obviously a lie was....” Due to them having just one waiter and understaffed, there was going to be a 30 minute wait.” I took a peek inside and only saw 3-4 tables that were occupied which didn’t make sense to me of why she would lie to us. ? This hostess person was obviously judging us. I wasn’t born yesterday and I can tell when I’m being profiled and discriminated upon. I was just surprised that in 2021 and during a pandemonium time where businesses are struggling to stay affloat. This franchise would dare make us feel like our money was not good enough for their establishment??? To the person who turned us away I hope you know that one of my gay dad who is in his 60’s recently had a heart attack and was obviously limping towards your establishment. He had to limp back to the car starving because of your ignorant values. Just know that there is a special place below the earth’s crust for people like you. If you are a minority of any sorts just beware of this location and how prejudice they are and apparently above equality rights. My gay Dad is wise and was the one who pointed out this injustice because he’s had to deal with it in the past. I’m appalled by this but hope that any establishment that operates like this will get the karma that they deserve. This location might as well be Chick Fil A or Cracker Barrel due to their antigay/ antiminority agenda. Shame on you!!!

This is for the location on 1260 Bower Pkwy, Columbia, SC - Dine In.
I kept meaning to write reviews the last 2 times, but forgot...anyway:
Had the Calimari appetizer twice and Ahi Tuna once: delicious!; had the Sea Bass once, Pecan Crusted Trout once and I forget the 3rd: delicious!; excellent bar, great service. Bacon Mac n Cheese was so-so, as were the desserts, but not bad enough to lower my 5 star rating. I'll definitely go back...again.

Today we went to the Bonefish on Commercial Way in Brooksville. As usual my husband's service dog was with us because he goes no where without him. We sat outside in 90 degree weather and not a soul out there besides us. We requested a dish of water. The waitress came out and informed us that we had to take the dog off premises to drink the water. Are you kidding me? We had a different problem with them a few years ago. They tried to seat us at a corner table and there was no place for the dog to go. We left the restaurant and contacted the regional manager. About a week later we received a gift basket for the dog and $200 in gift certificates begging us to come back. We did and everything was fine until today. Snickers is a service dog and we were outside with no one else around. It was almost 2 so the lunch crowd was gone - even inside was empty. You have got to be kidding me? First of all he is a service dog wearing a vest, etc. Second there was no one outside. We have been going there for years - but no more!! And I will make sure everyone knows how we were treated there. Most places are very accommodating with service animals - not Bonefish!! Two strikes and you are out. Guess what - ANYONE will take our money!!
