Their boney logo is unique and unmistakable too. In the merger, the agreement was that they would retain control of the food (it never served bonefish) and the restaurant name. There are now about 150 locations and Tim fishes almost every day and still lives in Tampa. Chris unfortunately passed away a few years back. Bonefish is one of the most successful brands in the US (JMHO).
