FRESH FISH AND SEASONAL SPIRITS AT THE BONEFISH GRILL

The Bonefish Grill is a chain that's making its way into New England that you should definitely check out. I went to their brand new location in Newington, Connecticut on a Saturday night. Be sure to make a reservation. This place fills up fast and for good reason. The food is excellent.

There are many unique apps on their menu. The waitress said Bonefish is known for its Bang Bang Shrimp, which are tossed in a creamy and spicy sauce. Maybe next time. This visit, I tried the bacon wrapped Atlantic Sea scallops. You get four plump scallops wrapped in crispy bacon. They are served with a mango salsa, which complements the dish perfectly.

Bonefish Grill has a full bar with canned beer, drafts, cocktails and wine. I tried one of their seasonal cocktails, the Winter White Cosmo with Stoli, white cranberry juice and a few fresh cranberries. Delicious!

The dinner menu is packed full of seafood goodness. Grilled fish options include sea scallops, salmon, shrimp, lobster tails, ahi tuna and rainbow trout. Top your fresh fish off with one of their signature sauces including mango, pan Asian and lemon butter. The entrees come with two sides, including a seasonal vegetable. Hand-held dinners include fish & chips, fish tacos and a good ole fashioned hamburger. Other seafood-free options include steak and chicken. For vegetarians, there are some salads on the menu and a side of pumpkin ravioli.

UPDATE: As of spring 2018, all New England locations of the Bonefish Grill have CLOSED. , , ,
