Bonefish Grill – located in a strip mall at 133 W. Gage Blvd. – permanently closed Dec. 17 and is no longer listed on Bonefish’s website.
The Richland restaurant first opened in January 2006, according to state Department of Revenue records.
The Bonefish Grill restaurant chain is part of Bloomin’ Brands Inc., a Tampa, Florida-based company which also operates Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba’s Italian Grill and Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar.
Bloomin’ Brands announced in November that it had closed 21 restaurants in its portfolio as part of a turnaround strategy. The company also said it decided to not renew the leases at 22 others, the majority of which expire over the next four years. It didn’t list the affected restaurants.
A Richland employee said that those with Bonefish gift cards could use them at Outback Steakhouse, 6819 W. Canal Drive, Kennewick, including for online or to-go orders.
The only other Bonefish restaurant in the state is in Marysville.
