"Grills were notably stocked with oakwood, a flavor enhancer for many of the proteins plated for their meals. Though Curci and Parker's idea bucked some major restaurant trends of the time, the concept has endured for more than two decades. Unfortunately, not every dish presented at their establishment is a winner. Tasting Table tried and ranked 10 popular Bonefish Grill menu items, from worst to best, and one in particular fell completely flat."
"Should you happen to find yourself at one of the Bonefish Grill locations smattered about the United States, surveying a menu of Bang Bang shrimp tacos, seabass, martinis, and margaritas, there's one item that is best not brought to your table. As delicious as garlic whipped potatoes might sound, keep your eyes focused on and save room in your stomach for not only the fish orders, but fries, various brunch items, steaks, and desserts instead."
"Sometimes expectations don't quite live up to reality, and this side of mashed potatoes is one such experience. You'd think garlicky whipped mashed potatoes would be the perfect companion for an order of grilled fish or steak, but these taters are not the light, fluffy fantasy you might have in your mind. Though the flavor isn't off-putting,"
Bonefish Grill opened in 2000 by Tim Curci and Chris Parker to serve fresh fish in a polished casual setting with hardwood floors and tasteful lighting. Servers called Anglers wore smart white outfits and educated guests about fish sources and recipes. Grills used oakwood to enhance protein flavors and the concept has endured for more than two decades. A ranking of ten popular menu items found garlic whipped potatoes notably disappointing. The potatoes have a heavy, not light-and-fluffy texture, though the flavor is not off-putting. Guests are advised to prioritize fish orders, fries, brunch items, steaks, and desserts over the garlic whipped potatoes.
