Mrs. Buggy and I now like to go to Bonefish and sit at the hightop tables by the bar. We get the bar menu food with a drink or two each. I like the Bang Bang Tacos (two flour tacos filled with bang bang shrimp and salad) for $6. A couple of vodka & tonics at $3 each and you have very good dinner for about $12 each. With the bar food menu, we do not take food home.
Hi buggy. This thread just appeared again...don't know where they disappear to but anyway to answer your questions.

Based on my comments I know bonefish has a loyal following. I just happen not to be one of them.

The last time I was there I ordered steak and shrimp. The shrimp on the skewer was that tiny shrimp restaurants usually put in salads for accent
The steaks was consumed in about three bites. I can't recall the exact price but then I was over bonefish when the waitress set my plate down in front of me and I knew I would be cooking something when I got home.

and yes I did say that given price to quality the place is overpriced. I am no longer a big eater so that is not my issue. My issue is utility for my dollar and frankly I gotten better steak and shrimp at golden corral then bonefish.

Perhaps my taste buds are going bad. I am not saying I am right I am just saying that bonefish is not right for me.

Bon Appetit'
