Celebrated my birthday here and it was so great! Everything was 5 stars. We had the arancini and baked crab dip for appetizers, chimichurri steak and scallops for dinner and strawberry shortcake dessert. Recommend everything. Our server was also great and brought me a glass of champagne on the house for my birthday. I’ve been for brunch too and that is also great. Can’t wait to be back. So many things on the menu look delicious.

Great meal. Part of our party was late and they never rushed us ana in fact we felt worse than they seemed. Food was not rushed and arrived hot at the table. They servers were very friendly and made us feel well taken care of. Steaks and pork chop were tasty. Hash browns were wonderful as is the Mac and cheese. The ice cream cake that came for the birthday boy was amazing and is worth it at any price. Bones never disappoints.

Very lively place especially on a Monday night. The service was amazing it was our first experience there and the waiter made sure to be patient and answer any questions we had. I would say be sure to have a reservation tables were always full. The food and drinks were amazing I got a dirty vodka martini which was very good. Me and my husband shared pasta and pizza and it was the perfect amount of food for us. Would most definitely be back!
