Founded in St. Petersburg, Florida (January 2000), the Bonefish Grill dining experience originated upon the premise of simplicity and consistency. Bonefish Grill specializes in market fresh fish prepared to order over a wood‐burning grill, which gives the fish a savory, even cook. A tantalizing array of signature sauces ranging from fresh and light to rich and flavorful, are offered to enhance the flavor of the fish.

Recognized as the “Fresh Fish Experts,” the restaurant offers a variety of eight species from which to choose on any given day. The fish is flown in fresh, inspected for quality and hand‐cut daily.
