My mom and I have been to this bonefish grill location many times in the past but haven’t been there in a while. Today, we were very satisfied with our visit back. The food was satisfying with a specific emphasis on the bang bang Wednesday shrimp being one of our absolute favorites and MUST-HAVES any time that we go.In particular, hospitality from two different employees made the visit very special & comfortable. 1.) there was a greeter at the door (I didn’t catch his name) but he was a black guy and really set the tone with a wonderful & friendly greeting. Overall, he had a very nice mannerism that was easy to be greeted by and that was super appreciated. Next, we had a super waiter, Keith who was so accommodating, patient and helpful with our entire experience. Keith was phenomenal and both these men exemplify that there are still amazing people out there in the hospitality and food service industry. - Makeda
