Diner Reviews
  • "I dined as a single, and was given the same level of attention as tables of 2 and 4 by my server. I never waited to have my glass refilled, or my order taken. Food quality is outstanding, and healthy options (grilled asparagus) tasted great."

  • "Greeting staff, wait staff and chefs, everyone was Great!!! I enjoyed myself to the max!! I have already requested that my family see firsthand what I experienced. I am very hard to please and you did it times 10."

  • "We dined with a special offer and the steak was a full sized filet, with all the trimmings - salad, bread, side. The waiter was attentive and friendly without being intrusive. The cocktails were exactly as ordered, including my "shaken very well" Cosmo. With so many great restaurants in the area, it's hard to stand out. Fishbones does!"

  • "We were there to celebrate a birthday. Food was very good and not too badly priced considering the competition. Our server was excellent. The meal was well timed and they brought us a complimentary birthday dessert that was excellent."

  • "We ate in the bar this time and that was nice, but the service slow. The pork chops always rock, the duck too. The fish and sea food never fail. Also, that house salad is just the right size and dressing is perfect. enjoy!"
    Dined on 3/5/2014
  • "We like how the fish is always prepared perfectly in both seasoning and in temperature. recommend to try the blackened swordfish or the triggerfish if avail. rolls are very good as well. we were debating between moonfish and fishbone, both owned by same people, but decided on fishbone, because cost is 1 level lower that moonfish and quality is just as good"

  • "Took all the great suggestions of our waiter Abdul; great food and service."
    Dined on 3/1/2014
  • "Fairly high density seating with busing for other tables frequently stationed right next to our table. Very low lighting; difficult to read menu. Food was good but wine was overpriced. A $62 Pino Griggio was selling at a nearby wine store for $17."

  • "I was not familiar with the restaurant and took the suggestion from OpenTable. It was an excellent choice. Sea Bass was delicious!"

  • "This was to be the really "fancy" dinner of our week in Orlando. The reservation system worked nicely and waited only 10 minutes for our table. We were seated in an area adjacent to the bar which made the noise level a bit too loud. The house salad was very good but both entrees were disappointing. I had the Oak Citrus Grouper which was overcooked and rubbery. Didn't have much flavor either. My wife had the Filet Oscar and while the crab sauce was tasty, the filet was a little tough and flavorless. We did not bother with desert as we had to return to our hotel to pack. I would say, "skip it"."

  • "Food was ok. Service likewise. But it was noisy and felt busy all around us. Too touristy."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "I have been to Fishbones on several occasions and it has always been a treat! Its location is sortof in that ticky tacky tourist area of I-Drive, so many tourists skip it (I think the valet parking, although complimentary sends the wrong message). But for locals and those that know about it it's a gem! The bar is quiet and comfortable offering up a wide selection of wines and spirits. The happy hour is great and the appetizer menu is perfect. If you get on their "VIP" e mail list, you receive the monthly specials and other invitations to not only this location but the rest of their restaurants, too. I highly recommend it and if you don't mind a little frustration getting into the parking lot, it's well worth a visit!"

    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "We started with a stone crab appetizer which was wonderful. My wife had mahi mahi with lump crab and I had the fried shrimp. They were both excellent and the service was spot on. I also had the wasabi margarita served with pickled ginger and saracha sauce. Very unusual but tasty."
    Dined on 2/19/2014
  • "filet was very poor, couldn'd eat. in all fairness, they did remove it from our bill. tuna was very dry. waiter had zero personality."
    Dined on 2/21/2014
  • "Scallops and shrimp was awesome. Service was great. Our friend had the crab claws and were the best!"
    Dined on 2/20/2014
  • "We had several kinda of seafood including stone crabs. All very good. Noisy setting however. Very hard to hear across the table however."

  • "My wife & I chose Fishbones Valentines Day for a romantic dinner. We heard the food was great & we always wanted to dine here (being that we only live right down the street)& it did not disappoint. Are reservation was for 10pm, we were sat within minutes. Are table was large enough for the two. Our server (wish i remembered his name) was great. We told him it was our first time, he welcomed us, made us feel special. He broke the menu down, answered all our questions. Very competent, knowledgable on menu & wine list. The ONLY disappointing moment was the Calamari. We LOVE calamari but this order was not that appetizing. My wife loved her Salmon & my Prime Rib & lobster was amazing! We will be back, especially for their Happy Hour!"

  • "Everything about the food was perfect, including the portions. Service was helpful and friendly, speed was average (fine considering it was Friday and Valentine's Day)."

  • "This was my second time dining here, and it was even better this time around. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "We go to this particular restaurant on specific occasions but the only problem is the small parking lot gets full pretty quickly and then you have to rely on the free valet service. But overall, great dining experience and top restaurant."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "The menu was enticing so we were eagerly looking forward to our Valentine's meal. The meals arrived missing items and looking flat and overlooked and they were. The Prime rib was brown and overcooked, no pinkness at all even though it was ordered medium. I sent it back, only to be returned with the same brown meat. The manager explained it as "aged" which results in a brown color. Not only was it brown but it was tasteless. The other items were also overcooked, filet, scallops all brown and rubbery. This is my second bad experience with Fishbones so it will also be the last. The only thing that was superior were the waitstaff. Very attentive and professional."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • ""I love the relaxed feel of this place - like a comfortable dining room in a friends home. I definitely would return to try more dishes. The Prime Steak was amazing and the snapper was very fresh."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "My wife and I went to Fish Bones for Valentines Day dinner. We have dined with other Talk of the Town restaurants in the past this was our first trip to Fish Bones. The atmosphere was fairly quiet, the intimacy factor was not there. It was bright and neighboring tables seemed too close and open.The food was mediocre. I had the 12oz filet and my wife had surf and turf. My filet was not as lean as I would have liked it. My wife's filet was a nice cut but it was overcooked. Her lobster was very small. However the staff was friendly, attentive, and accommodating. If the food would have been a little more appealing it would have made up for the atmosphere. With so many great restaurants to choose from in Orlando, we most likely won't go back."

  • "Excellent food. Only knock would be that the service slowed down drastically towards the end of our visit"
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "We had a great time on Valentine's Day dining here. Our waiter Eduardo was excellent. He was so knowledgeable about the menu, and was very pleasant and accomadated all our needs. Would definitely recommend that everyone try this resturant. It is also a great place to take a date for a romantic evening."

  • "the menu was exceptional including name of fisherman & location fish were caught; menu updated daily. Food was excellent from salad to entree."
    Dined on 2/11/2014
  • "Our food was great..the restruant itself is setup well....only two negatives is its rough to get in with the traffic...and the service was a bit slow...I attribute some of that to being the day before valentines day....but even my date comment saying she felt we were being ignored a bit because we were younger than most of the clientele....im 25 and she is 24.....but most were older in the restruant"

  • "Great food! The Tuna was unbelievable. It was seared perfectly. One of my sales managers decided to get the pork chops which were extremely large. I had a couple pieces which was the best pork chop that I have ever had at a restaurant. I know what I'll be ordering the next time I'm in Orlando."
    Dined on 2/10/2014
  • "First time eating here . Food was delicious and service was great. A little on the pricey side but about what you would expect for higher end dining experience. If we are back we would definitely eat here again."

  • "We decided to find a local Seafood restaurant while "doing Disney" in Orlando. The reviews for this restaurant were enthusiastic so we made our reservation. We were surprised that so many of the reviews talked about how delicious the steaks were since it is called FISHBONES and is billed as a seafood restaurant. WELL . . . we had both steak and seafood and left appreciating why so many raved! Unfortunately, we live waaayyyy out of town so we won't be able to return until we come to Orlando another time! We loved it and you will too!"

  • "At Fishbones (on Sand Lake near I-Drive) last night & started at the bar. Nice selection of affordable bar items, quite a choice of $4 cocktails! Had homemade potato chips w/ blue cheese sauce & strips of tender prime rib. Could easily feed 4 people for a before dinner treat. Dinner - husband had NT strip Oscared. Good, but the Oscar is $9 extra. However, I had swordfish w/ stuffed crab & lemon bur blanc sauce & no extra charge for the same amount of crab. Fish was wonderful, so was the crab. But the sauce was so salty is ruined what should have been a delicate lemon flavor on the fish. I even asked the waiter not to use any salt on anything because restaurants these days go overboard on salt. Other than that, good food/service"
