Decided to check out the Bonifay pro shop after hitting the new Sarasota driving range late this afternoon and was surprised to see the restaurant open. So I called my wife and she promptly met me there so we could try it out. Had a drink outside and then dinner inside. Love the decor and the menu is much better than we had expected. She had pot roast and I the beef stroganoff. Both were very good and decent portions. They are presently having a soft opening, working out the bugs etc, until the grand opening on the 28th. Happy hour is 2pm to 6pm. I am testing my memory trying to remember some of the menu items but here goes:

Beer Battered Fish & Chips
Filet Mignon
Beef Stroganoff
Pot Roast
Chicken Parm
Salmon, I think it said BBQ not sure
And of course salads, sandwiches and burgers.

I think they also said something about it being a quiet opening for now, Oops!
Looks like Bonifay will soon become a favorite of ours.

We've been so disappointed with Havana's food and are eagerly awaiting Bonifay. Hopefully they will attain and maintain high standards for food quality and service.

Let's start a betting pool on what day they start to get bashed on TOTV.
I pick tomorrow. What do you say? $1.00 a person? Of course I could still lose
today there's over 5 hours til midnight. I wanted to do this for the new place at Town
Square, but someone complained before I could post.

Oh yeah - I almost forgot ....IMHO.

Default First Impressions

Went to Bonifay tonight. Very good service,food was very good had the sea food gumbo,wife had pesto chicken Pasta both had soup. All was very good. After dinner we hit the bar also very good. Will deffinate be back. Hope it keeps up. spoke with the manager he has very positive feelings for the people and the resteraunt. Happy hour is 2 to 6 at both the inside and outside bars. Actual opening is the 28th but check them out. PS Hope the pool fails we need a good Southern End club.

I thought the same as I read the first post. Does hoping "they keep the good service up" or "will people still feel that way next year" count as soft bashing? What the h$^% does that all mean?

That's not bashing. Remember I have tomorrow in the pool...

My husband and I ate there last night, too!
The food was great, and the staff was very eager to please. Drinks were great, especially the Key Lime Martini!
I had Lime Chicken Salad, and my husband had Meatloaf. Wonderful!
Forget the "pool," and waiting for someplace to fail! It looked great, was great, and with community support will stay great! Glass can be 1/2 full, you know, and it can stay that way!

Tried to have dinner there about 6:00 Monday night. Parking lot was packed. They estimated 90 minutes to get a table so went elsewhere.
