Dining out: Summer flavors at Bonefish Grill; Maggiano's Eat-A-Dish for Make-A-Wish returns
In season
Bonefish Grill is making the most of summer flavors with its new seasonal offerings. Start off with the flash-fried Thai chili green beans before digging into the mango sangria pork tenderloin, blackened shrimp with Mexican street corn, mango sangria salmon or chimichurri bistro filet. For a sweet ending, try the Key lime cake. Did we mention the new cocktails? The Wild Flower Martini is a blend of Ketel One Vodka, passion fruit, vanilla and fresh citrus juices topped with wildflowers and sparkling wine, and the Fresh Watermelon Martini is hand-muddled watermelon, English cucumber and Fris vodka with fresh housemade sour and frozen watermelon cubes.
Bonefish Grill is at 1604 Randall Road, Algonquin, (847) 658-9268, and 180 S. Roselle Road, Schaumburg, (847) 534-0679, bonefishgrill.com/.
