Fueled by their mutual passion for fish and adventure, our founders set out to create a unique dining experience- one that would take the mystery out of fish for people who didn't eat it very often, and yet provide further mystery for the truly adventurous.In their search to find fish from the waters of the world, they hunted down fish purveyors with the same commitment to quality as theirs. They hired a responsible fish guy who never stops traveling in search of unique species.Today, the founders'​ ritual of receiving, inspecting and hand cutting fish daily is still practiced by the partners at Bonefish Grill. As is their dogged commitment to quality and excellence at every level.On January 15, 2000 in St. Petersburg, Florida, the first Bonefish Grill was born. People turned out in droves! The success of their vision has generated restaurant growth that has taken them throughout the Southeast and Northeastern coasts, and today Bonefish Grill has begun expanding throughout the U.S.Bloomin' Brands, Inc. is a company of restaurants, not a restaurant company. Our family of founder-inspired brands include Bonefish Grill, Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar, Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba's Italian Grill, and Aussie Grill. Our People are what set us apart and they are at the center of everything we do!
