Ate there last night. Get the bangbang shimp, period. I don't care who you are or what you like.

I had the steak and crabcake combo, and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I don't like the bang bang shrimp at all.

I am a massive fan of the mussels. I go sometimes just for them and a glass of wine. Plenty of food.

They just added a Pad Thai that is really good too.

Coconut shrimp are good. Asian oysters are good. And they actually have a very good burger. House salad has hearts of palm and a good dressing.

I never get a fish entree if you can't tell

Their filet isn't bad. Sea bass with lemon butter is my favorite.

Skip the bang-bang shrimp, I don't get why these are so popular. Also, NEVER go on Wednesdays unless you actually like bang bang shrimp, as they are on special and everyone there is drinking ice water & eating bang bang for their entrees....

Portion to price ratio is not the greatest on any of their items, but as for what is consistently good:

Mussels
Filet Mignon Satay Appetizer
Tuna Appetizer

Shrimp & Scallops (tasty, but small)
Sea Bass
My Favorite: Grilled Whole Branzino (not many places, especially for a chain where you can get whole grilled fish around South LA)
Shrimp Ponzu

Note, the branzino is a specialty menu item, you may have to ask for it.

Bonefish is a pretty decent chain, and they squeeze fresh juices and take a lot of pride in their drink specials as well....

Ok, I know my fish pretty well, but I had to Google Branzino. IWEI

As I said, maybe the only place in town that offers any sort of variety. Yeah, it's generally not spiced like we are used to, but some of the more delicate fish actually benefit from light seasoning so you can taste the fish.

Are the mussels an app there?

Obviously a seafood restaurant but their fontina chops are amazing. Get the au gratin potatoes as a side

It's listed as an appetizer, but unless you are sharing it is actually a bit large to eat by yourself before an entrée.

A bowl of mussels with their table bread makes a perfectly decent meal. I like to share an appetizer and then eat something like the mussels or a fish entrée and I leave satisfied and without the Cajun fried seafood platter gut buster blues...

Yep. Like I said, I go up there often to get a bowl of mussels and a glass of wine. That broth is heaven, so I sop it up with the bread they give you.

And I agree with you on the Bang Bang Shrimp. Mayo-laden sauces like that aren't my thing.. whether on sushi or fried shrimp. They actually brought us a complimentary bowl of it the other day when we had already ordered too much food I thought it was nice, but they ended up not even being touched.
