Bones once again proves it’s the best steakhouse in the entire Southeastern US. 5 star service accompanied by the highest quality, tastiest food. Our party of 5 each had steaks. Each one was perfectly prepared, tender and melted in our mouths. The corn soufflé, Mac n cheese & spinach sides were on point as usual. The warm pecan pie for dessert was a show stopper. Can’t wait to go back again and again.

Except for valet (upon arrival, he just looked at us, zero greeting or communication...), our experience was excellent all around. Caviar service, veal mousse, carpaccio, gnocchi, lobster pasta, clam pasta, and halibut. Clam pasta was just okay. Everything else was perfect. Thank you, La Grotta.
