I See Seafood – A Bonefish Grill Giveaway!

Several weeks back, I had the honor of joining Bonefish Grill in a blogger event honoring National Seafood Month.  This was a fantastic night out for many reasons.  First, it started off with:

1. One great menu! 2. They knew to start off the night with an apple cider martini. 3. They let me bring my momma, too!

 

The Bonefish Grill team pulled out all the stops:  We had a plethora of dishes to try from their seasonal and regular menus.  We started out with appetizers.

Bonefish Grill is famous for their Bang Bang Shrimp, which I had never personally experienced, but found out why everyone loves them that night.  Super savory!  The tuna was fresh, and the mussels were some of the best I’d ever had.  And, I’ve been around a mussel or two.

After we’d eaten more than our fair share of the first course, we moved on to entrees: Mahi Mahi was perfectly cooked and not too fishy (one reason why I tend to stray away from it, although I’d definitely reorder it at Bonefish).  Plus it came with some a delicious pumpkin and fried sage side.

I was also just as impressed with the filet mignon.  Not something I would typically order there, but they know their way around more than just seafood.  Good to know!  The tuna dish we had was really good, but to be honest, I like mine on the rarer side.  Ya know, ’cause I’m sooo picky! 😉

Dessert was a tasty end to the night, although, I’m not much of a dessert person, myself, and I was crazy full.  If I had to choose from all of the sweet stuff we sampled, my favorite would be the Chocolate Espresso Martini.    I’d show you the pics, but they aren’t very good.  We could blame the bad lighting, or the wine, or the martini(s). You decide.  Um, thanks for the car service, Bonefish!!!

Enticed?  I hope so, ’cause guess what??? Mom Favorites has a $50 Bonefish Grill gift card to giveaway!! Holla!  Enter by November 7th for your chance to win using the Rafflecopter app below.

    I’m not sure of the exact dish I would get, but it would be something gluten free. I love the fact that my family can eat there and enjoy a delicious gluten free meal!

    After moving to Charlotte two months ago and getting the house organized, the children and my husband organized along with looking for a job….I NEED A NIGHT OUT. It would be so lovely to have a dinner with my husband, adults only. We could use and I could not think of a better place. I can only imagine what to order…..something that I have never had before. I am ready to add to all of my new experiences since in Charlotte. Fingers crossed.
