I have wanted to check this place out for a while since some of my friends talk about how much they love it. I went to the Bonefish Grill in Greensboro the other night with a friend of mine. It’s located right next to the Four Seasons Mall at 2100 Koury Blvd. It’s fairly expensive; not somewhere I could go very often. Most of the people wear a dressy casual and the place is pretty nice. When you sit down at your table, immediately a waitress takes your drink orders and comes back with bread. They give you olive oil too with spices cooked into it and it is very good. They also give you the recipe for their spiced oil. Most of the menu consists of fish but there are some steak, chicken, and pasta dishes as well. It is set up so you can choose exactly how you want your fish and what you want on it.

For an appetizer, I got Ahi Tuna Sashimi. It is thinly sliced raw ahi tuna with sesame seasoning and they give you soy sauce on the side for dipping. It was very fresh and had a lot of flavor. Anyone who enjoys sushi would probably love it. My friend wasn’t into it so she ordered shrimp for an appetizer. For my entrée, I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass. When you look down the menu, you are offered a choice of different sauces and toppings for your grilled fish. All of the toppings are unique, not what you would regularly find around here. I decided on a mushroom and sun-dried tomato topping, and I chose a lime, tomato, and garlic sauce. The sea bass was cooked perfectly and had great texture while the sauce and toppings gave it a ton of flavor. It was hard to choose which toppings and sauces to pick because there are so many and they all sound very good. As for sides, they offer rice, veggies, or different styles of potatoes. I ordered rice and the vegetables, both which were very good.

We didn’t end up getting any desert because we were too full. I enjoyed everything about the restaurant. Not only was the food and service great, but the staff were very friendly and seemed to be very knowledgeable on the food. Afterwards, we were both very satisfied. It is pretty expensive though; the fish entrees are within the fifteen to twenty dollar range. Again, it is not a place I can go all of the time, but once in a while I would love to go back.
