----------------------------------------

Orland Park, IL (August 2013) – Bonefish Grill is partnering with Together We Cope as part of its Grand Opening festivities on Saturday, September 14, from 6 – 8:30 p.m. with a special Charity Night to benefit the organization. Supporters will enjoy fresh seafood, refreshing cocktails, and spectacular ambiance and music — all for a great cause — at the restaurant’s newest location at 15537 S. LaGrange Road, Orland Park IL.

“Being active participants in the Orland Park community is very important to us,” said Nick Kapellas, managing partner of the new Bonefish Grill location, which will open its doors to the public on Monday, September 16. “Our partnership with Together We Cope is a first step toward building a foundation of goodwill and fostering local relationships, which we hope to continue long after we open our doors.”

Guests will be able to sample all of the culinary delights that are found at Bonefish Grill including Bonefish Grill’s famous Ahi Tuna Sashimi, PEI Mussels Josephine and “American Style” Kobe Beef Burgers, and the house specialty Bang Bang Shrimp. Libations will include specialty martinis and cocktails, and samplings from the restaurant’s adventurous wine list. The polished-casual seafood restaurant appeals to those who crave high quality cuisine at a good value in a comfortable, lively atmosphere.

“We are thrilled that Bonefish Grill chose to partner with our organization for this very special night,” said Kathryn Staniero, Executive Director of Together We Cope. “Fundraisers like this, and partners like Bonefish Grill, greatly improve our ability to assist all those who need our support in the southern suburbs. Our success wouldn’t be possible without the support we receive from our community. We’re looking forward to seeing our supporters on September 14 and celebrating our continued success over good food and drinks at Bonefish Grill.”

The Orland Park restaurant features a spacious dining room with an energetic bar area, well known for its community tables and lively music. The interior’s sleek design features beautiful golden hardwood and hand-blown glass amber lamps throughout the restaurant.  An attractive array of three-dimensional art, ranging from large-scale metal sculptures of mangroves and fishing scenes to a large mystical fish rubbing, enhances the ambience felt throughout the restaurant.

Dinner is served seven days a week:  Monday through Thursday, from 4 – 10:30 p.m., 4 – 11:30 p.m. on Friday, 3 – 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, and from 11 a.m. – 10 p.m., Sunday.  And now on Sundays, Bonefish Grill will be serving a delectable brunch from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. featuring favorite breakfast dishes like omelets, French Toast served with freshly whipped cream, and chocolate croissants.
