I recently visited Bonefish Bar and Grill in Rockville Center, New York, thanks to a gift card, and let me tell you, it was the incredible customer service that will keep me coming back! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and an inviting atmosphere. I was promptly seated and welcomed with water, table bread, and this amazing herbed olive oil that I absolutely have to go back for.
Starting with the Bang Bang Shrimp, a staple that you just can't miss, my meal only got better from there. The calamari was seasoned and fried to perfection, served with a delightful aioli. The summer special ceviche was another standout, with crisp tortilla chips and a perfect balance of acidity and seafood.
For entrees, I recommend trying what's in season. This time, I had the wood plank salmon with French fries and Brussel Sprouts, and the seared scallops with jasmine rice. The salmon was cooked to perfection, topped with a creamy crab and spinach mixture, and the Brussel Sprouts were perfectly crispy tossed in a slight glaze that will send you to the moon. The scallops were seared beautifully, paired with bacon and feta crumbles, and the jasmine rice complemented them well.
Dessert was the cherry on top. The seasonal Drunken Coconut Pie was like an upgraded version of Entenmann's coconut cream pie, warm with delicious bourbon sauce and a healthy amount of coconut bits that had me feeling like I was on a tropical island. But the star of the show was the key lime cake. It had a perfect balance of sweet and salty, with a cream cheese frosting and coconut flakes, served with a swirl of whipped cream. It was so good, I ordered another slice to go, dont judge me!.
Special shoutout to our server, Jada, who went above and beyond, and to the rest of the team who provided hands-on service. There is a culture of teamwork that is evident throughout your dining experience. Even when there was an issue with my card and their terminal, the manager swiftly resolved it and even gave me a free appetizer card for my troubles.
To drink, we recommend the Pina Colada. Although it wasn't frozen as they do not serve frozen drinks, it sure was tasty and came with a cute garnish. They also have a variety of soft drinks with FREE refills. There's a large variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages including a passion fruit rum punch that we heard was great.
Overall, Bonefish Bar and Grill offers a mom-and-pop feel with delicious food and top-notch service. So next time you're in Rockville Center, or even if you're not, head over to Bonefish Bar and Grill. You won't regret it! Oh, and don't skip the bread and oil dip --it's to die for!
