TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The fresh fish experts at Bonefish Grill will kick off their 20th anniversary year with a blast from the past to delight guests who've made the now-iconic restaurant a favorite with nearly 200 locations nationwide. Bonefish Grill was founded by friends Tim Curci and Chris Parker in January 2000 in St. Petersburg, Florida, where they opened the first Bonefish Grill, fueled by their shared love for catching, cooking and serving fresh fish.
The founders' vision still rings true today, demonstrating a deep understanding and passion for seafood and expertise to create an unparalleled lineup of dishes designed to please every palate. Bonefish Grill's vibrant, comfortable ambiance has been a hallmark of the restaurant from the beginning, featuring hardwood floors, upbeat music and flattering lighting, complemented by the enticing aroma of the wood-fired grill.
"Two decades after Tim and Chris opened the first Bonefish Grill just a few blocks north of our current St. Petersburg location, we're proud to say we have remained dedicated to their mission of serving perfectly prepared fresh fish and creating an incredible dining experience," said Jeff Carcara, President of Bonefish Grill. "Offering a taste of the past is our way to say thank you to our longtime guests as we begin a year of special celebrations."
The milestone menu that will be served on January 23rd features a mix of past and present, offering guests the best of two decades of favorite dishes and drinks. Appetizers and entrées include:
