Dining out on Father's Day
Many Florida residents have favorite restaurants where they enjoy bringing family
and visiting guests for special occasions. Our favorite restaurant is one of the
Bonefish Grills located at 1880 N. Congress Avenue in Boynton Beach, (Renaissance Commons). Although it is part of a "chain" of Bonefish Grill restaurants,
this one has a charming and friendly atmosphere, excellent service, pleasant
decor, and moderate prices for 8 different very fresh fish every night.
4:00 – 10:30 pm Monday through Thursday, Friday; until 11:30 pm on Sat.
Sunday, from 4:00 – 10:00 p.m. While reservations are not required, they do take them for parties as small as 2 people, and they honor call-ahead seating. (561) 732-1310.
Managing Partner, Neal Kelly, dressed in chef "whites," often greets patrons at
the door or comes to your table. The decor includes beautiful woods, metallic
sculptures on the walls and fishing scenes. It's has a really nice ambiance.
I did some research on the background of the restaurant and learned that it was
founded in St. Petersburg, Fla. in 2000, by Tim Curci and Chris Parker. Their idea
was to cook their fish dishes over an oak-burning grill, which gives the fish a savory flavor. Patrons can choose different sauces, so that every time you eat there
you can try your favorite fish a different way.
For land-lovers, they also serve steaks, pasta and chicken dishes. Wait until you taste their "bang-bang shrimp." I love their fresh bread, too! Yes, they have early bird specials - like a glass of wine for less than $3.00!
Now, for you single people! What a great place to meet someone! Their bar
is the gathering place and destination. Community tables at the bar are first
come, first serve. Everyone is friendly, and the menu at the bar is the same as
at the tables.
Enjoy Father's Day.
