FishBones in Lake Mary is hands down one of our absolute favorite places to go out for dinner! Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, enjoying a special occasion, or simply looking for a fantastic night out, this restaurant never disappoints! We absolutely love their happy hour! We typically order a combination of dishes from the happy hour menu and the regular dinner menu, and everything is always delicious. Last night, we celebrated our parents’ birthday, and what an incredible evening it was! We started with the Lady Dragon Roll, which was delicious, and of course, the cocktails were flowing! Between our table, we enjoyed sangria, lemon drop martinis, and Long Island iced teas. For dinner, we all ordered the chef’s special. My husband and I had the shrimp and salmon, and I have to say, it was hands down the BEST salmon I’ve ever had in my life! Absolutely phenomenal! Our parents enjoyed the shrimp and chicken breast combination, and they loved their meal just as much. The atmosphere was wonderful, and the live music made the evening even more special. There’s just something about enjoying a delicious dinner, great cocktails, and fantastic entertainment with the people you love! I also have to give a very special shout-out to Michelle, the manager, who is absolutely phenomenal! She truly makes everyone feel welcome and appreciated. Brian was our server, and he is AMAZING! David is another fantastic server who always goes above and beyond. The entire team makes every visit feel special. For us, FishBones is our very own version of Cheers — where everybody knows your name! From the moment we walk up and are greeted by smiling faces to the friendly goodbyes when we leave, we always feel right at home. It’s that kind of genuine hospitality that keeps us coming back again and again. I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about this restaurant. The food, the drinks, the entertainment, the atmosphere, and especially the people make FishBones an exceptional

We tried the NY strip steak, mahi mahi and espresso crème brûlée. Everything was excellent. The service was good, we sat in a room with three other tables and it felt romantic. Other parts of the restaurant were lively . We would recommend the Jailhouse to our friends.

The service was great! And the food was delicious! Highly recommend!

Food and service was a very enjoyable experience! Will be back.

The food was perfect and a great value. Very clean restaurant with great local decor. Can be a little noisy. Great dining experience.
