    I had sushi and my husband had a catfish po' boy sandwich both were very good! Ava was such a grace server, I would like to sit in her section again! The one thing I was surprised about and not sure if I like it - they automatically put a service charge of 18% and I would have given 20% but we felt odd leaving only $2 to make it right -20%.

    Around a month ago my friend and I had dinner. Not only was the food delicious, but the service was even better. Ava, our waitress, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We really appreciate her dedication as a waitress.

    My daughter took me here on my birthday . The food was good but seems to be with much smaller portions. The waitress was decent. I'm not a fan of gratuity being already added, especially if it's just a party of 2. I pretty much like deciding to do my own, especially for the amount being spent...I've been here another time with my friend, he ordered a burger, she came back with fries on the side, he questioned it, she said it comes with it. We get the bill, we were literally charged $22.00 for a burger, pretty much charged for the fries..Then I noticed a white couple leaving their tip on the table, didn't order as much but, was wondering if only certain people have automatic gratuity added. The young couple didn't seem like the type to tip if it was already in the bill... you have to be alert with this place. They seem to add when not ordered and charge you at the end. Overall, I would go again.. just be more aware of what's going on..My friend and I came here one night, they had a descent band, was impressed but I noticed that there's noticed that Service charges took over gratuity..still the same if you do a comparison with my previous receipt.

    My name is Richard Porchia and I was with the party of 9 on Saturday 3/24/2024. My waitress was amazing and very attentive and professional… she was also one of the most gorgeous ladies I’ve ever laid eyes on. The food was amazing and she kept our glasses filled. I requested a candle for my mom’s key lime pie and she was more than happy to oblige. Great place, Great Food, Great Atmosphere and one absolutely stunning waitress. I can’t wait to come back from Florida and experience this place again.

    Been here a few times but had an experience on Monday 10/20 that deserves a review. 1st, I had a sushi roll as an app and as always it was fresh and very good. For an entree I got the Prime Rib Po boy. It was very good as all the things I have gotten here before. I wasn't sure what beer to get and Lyz and Taylor the bartenders, who are awesome and always do a great job, gave me several samples. Ended up with a Labats and was rightfully shamed a little for it, after having several craft beer samples. Now to the reason for this review. I had a small mishap with a crab cake, nothing major. I told Lyz about it, just for her information. Unbeknownst to me she informed a manager, not the reason I told her about it. James showed up and overly apologized and offered to make things right, which is not the reason why I told Lyz. The care and concern he showed over what to me was just a small thing really impressed me. Fish Bones should be proud to have people like Lyz, the manager James, and the other very good and personable bartender, Taylor, as representatives for their organization.
