Being pregnant and due in early August and concerned that
possibly the little tyke would want to arrive early, my husband and I decided
to fulfill our New Year’s Resolution for the month of July as early as possible. Our New Year's Resolution is to try a new-to-us
restaurant in the L.A. area at least once a month. We decided to try Bonefish in
Northridge on July 1st, which also happened to be lobster
night. Now, I usually think lobster is
over-rated, but still, I mean, who can pass up lobster night? It’s Tuesday, by the way. Lobster Tuesdays at Bonefish. Remember that.
We had made a reservation, but we arrived 15 minutes late
(partly because it was so hard to find a parking spot in the crowded parking
lot), and they had given our table away.
We were offered a table in the bar right away, or we could wait about 15
minutes for a table in the restaurant.
We chose to wait and look over the menu while we waited.

While we were waiting for our food, the waitress brought out
fresh bread with an olive oil dipping sauce.
It was good. I mean, it’s bread
and dipping sauce. It wasn’t amazing or
anything. I could list multiple
restaurants where we like the bread better, but this was adequate, and we
finished it. We just didn’t ask for
seconds.



We both decided that we would indeed come back. We liked the food. We liked the service. We liked the atmosphere. We wanted to try some other items on the menu
and find something that we actually loved (besides the crème brulee…my husband
totally loved the crème brulee and said he’d be happy just coming to Bonefish
for that!).



My mom was trying to eat healthy and low cal, which she was totally able to do. She ordered the 6oz filet, which was basically the equivalent of my meal but without the Bang Bang Shrimp. For her side, she chose asparagus, and it also came with mixed veggies, so she was totally super healthy. She really liked her meal. If you’re not trying to be super healthy though, and if you like shrimp, it’s totally a better value to get what I got. My meal only cost $1 more than hers, and it included amazing, delicious, Bang Bang Shrimp!
My husband ordered one of the evening’s specials. I really should’ve taken a picture of the
special menu, but I didn’t. I don’t
remember exactly what the salmon was stuffed with, but it was like veggies and
cheese and crab meat or something like that.
Plus it had an amazing sauce. For
his sides, he chose, jasmine rice and asparagus. My husband really liked the salmon (I tasted
it; it was too rich for me), but he said that next time he’d order what I
ordered. So, looks like Wednesday is
our Bonefish night.
Oh, and I know, I know, this blog post is LONG overdue. I mean, I ate at Bonefish a month ago, right? I usually try to blog about recipes and restaurants the same day or next day. Well, I went into labor the day after our 2nd visit to Bonefish, and raising a newborn is quite time consuming. So, that's why this post is overdue. Looks like we definitely did make a good decision to fulfill our New Years Resolution early in July because the little tyke DID decide to arrive early.
Happy eating!
