Bonefish Grill

$$

This past weekend my boyfriend and I decided to go to Bonefish Grill! It was his first but my second time going. My first experience was terrible! Upon arrival, even though we had reservations, we had to wait maybe 15 minutes. Then when we were seated, we didn't get to order for like 30 minutes and once we did, the waitress didn't come back for who knows how long and when she did she had appetizers but we still had no drinks or bread and pesto! She just seemed out of it, she was very inattentive and kept forgetting to bring things we'd asked for ages ago. My drink was terrible and they messed up my order for both my appetizer and entreé!

But even after all that I wanted to give them a second chance chose because the food was actually pretty good and I liked the ambience in the restaurant. This time around the service was complete 180! Damien made us reservations and we were seated as soon as we arrived. Our waiter was awesome, he was very attentive and prompt. We were never without anything! 

So for appetizers I had the Cold Snap Fresh Ceviche and it was absolutely delicious, not to mention extremely cool (no pun intended) to look at lol

My boyfriend had their famous Bang Bang shrimp which was surprisingly underwhelming, nothing to write home about but they seem to be so raved about...maybe it's me #kanyeshrug

Then for our entreés, he had a burger, which is what he orders 98% of time at any given restaurant, and starting eating before I could snap a picture lol

I had the Bonefish Grill salad with grilled chicken it was served with a citrus dressing which was good but didn't have much kick for it to be a citrus dressing. But I'm just glad it was made the right way this time!

After downing two martinis, neither one of us finished our food, which almost never happens, so we didn't order dessert. I definitely recommend either going on a slow day (Monday or Tuesday) or late around 10-10:30 like we did so that it's not so crowded. I feel like that may have played a part in our poor service the first time. But all in all it was a good experience and I definitely plan to go back to try some new things from their menu.

Verdict: Bonefish Grill in Savannah is bomdotcom approved 👍

This week, while downtown, my bf and I decided to grab something to eat. His first suggestion was burgers (as usual) but I'm 'burgered' out so to my surprise he said Mexican! He NEVERRRR asks for Mexican, although it happens to be one of my absolute favorite types of food, he's just not that big a fan of the cuisine. But of course I jumped at the chance and we headed to Tequila's Town. 

This was only my second time going and of course, they did not dissapoint! I always try to order new things, so I went for the chimichangas because they were described as "deep-fried and covered in cheese" 😍 how could I say no? It was everything you could imagine, crunchy, cheesy, savory and full of flavor! It was a true foodgasm! And the salsa, oh my glob, the salsa! Even the waiter was drool worthy, it was arguably the BEST service I've had in a restaurant, we didn't want for anything, he was on top of everything, which just made the whole experience that much better.

So if you're ever craving some awesome Mexican in savannah make sure you stop by Tequila's Town on Whitaker Street! They even won a foodie award, what a perfect #foodiefriday. Til next time ✌️

I just wanted to quickly share my Friday night dinner with you guys because I've been looking foward to making this meal all week! This was my first time having filet mignon so I went all out, I made an appetizer, salad and desert, we even had a bottle of wine to top it off!

For my appetizer, I went with coconut shrimp. I usually don't care for coconut in anything but these shrimp were bombdotcom! I served a simple salad and homemade ranch dressing with these.

Next came the main attraction, pan fried filet mignon, roasted herb potatoes, and string beans.

I used my cast iron skillet for the steaks and they came out awesome! I didn't really need sauce but I'm a chronic dipper, I put some sort of sauce on just about everything, that's just me #kanyeshrug

Finally was my sherbet/sorbet, I used blueberries and strawberries, it was to die for! 

That wraps it up, hope this inspires someone to challenge themselves in the kitchen, try something new and really throw down! Though this meal took me hours, it was SO worth it. I hope you'll join me next friday with your own #foodiefriday meals, tweet me @ibenncocky :)
