<\/a><\/p>\n The signature dish at Bonefish Grill<\/a> is a luscious mound of tender, crispy shrimp napped in a creamy, spicy sauce reminiscent of New Awlins’ remoulade. Each mouthwatering morsel reminds you why the Bang Bang Shrimp<\/strong> is the most popular dish on the menu and why you’ll be back for more. Settling into a comfortable booth awash with the warmth of the winter sun, my dining partner and I immediately perused the cocktail menu where classic and contemporary drinks feature fresh fruit and juices for a coastal seaside twist. \u00a0Savoring a refreshing Blood Orange Paloma<\/strong> \u00a0Sauza Hornitos tequila, Solerno blood orange liqueur, fresh grapefruit juice + hint of lime) for $6<\/strong> (!) and a Classic Sidecar + Mango Twist <\/strong>(the classic brandy cocktail given a modern twist with mango juice –\u00a0$5<\/strong>!) just made the Bang Bang Shrimp all the better.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Classic Sidecar + Mango Twist, Black Cherry Guava Mojito,\u00a0\u00a0Blood Orange Paloma<\/p>\n While the Bang Bang Shrimp is a guest favorite, my personal favorite is the Seared Sesame Ahi Tuna Sashimi<\/strong>. Ruby red ahi dredged in crunchy sesame seeds in a nest of crispy romaine \u00a0and drizzled with wasabi sauce alongside a ribbon of sriracha to drag it through, is something I can’t resist.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n By this time we were on cocktail #2 – the Parker Margarita and the Blackberry Cherry Guava Mojito \u00a0(Cruzan Guava Rum, black cherries, fresh mint, lime –\u00a0$8.5) were both fantastic. The Parker Margarita ($7.5) is founder Chris Parker’s favorite cocktail and, finished with OJ and Grand Marnier, you will totally understand why. I can’t get over the fact that all the drinks are priced below $10 – even the martinis – that’s so unheard of these days for cocktails of this caliber.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Moving on to the soup course – you can add a cup of soup to every entree for $3.5. We had to try their Corn Chowder + Lump Crab because, well, it’s a seafood restaurant! It did not disappoint – the cup was more like a small bowl and the chowder was just right – not too thin, not too thick, pureed sweet corn providing much of the creaminess and a generous amount of crab. I ordered the Grilled Fish of the Day and chose Salmon with a Herb Pesto sauce. Meat lovers will be glad to hear that there are non-seafood choices on the menu: a Wood-Grilled Filet Mignon, American Kobe Burger, Lily’s Chicken, Fontina Chop and others, as well as several vegetarian offerings.<\/p>\n
