"Table For Two...By Boat?" Gary Sofen On "What's Next For The Former Bone Island Grill Property"

You’ve probably heard the rumors, but you want to know what’s REALLY happening at the former Bone Island Grill location...

Today on the show, we’re welcoming back a familiar voice—and he’s bringing some big, exciting news to the Lake Country!

You already know Gary Sofen as the owner of the popular Lake Oconee Bistro, a staple in our local dining scene. But now, he’s setting his sights on the water—literally. Gary has just purchased the former Bone Island Grill property, a once-beloved boat-up restaurant that’s been sitting quiet for years… until now.

Today, we’ll dive into Gary’s bold new vision for reviving and reinventing the space. What kind of restaurant is he bringing to the lakefront? What will the menu look like? And how is he planning to create a destination that’s as welcoming to boaters as it is to patrons arriving by car?

We’ll talk concept, culture, construction—and get a sneak peek at how the two restaurants will be able to work together, while still maintaining their unique vibe. Whether you’re a foodie, a lake lover, or just curious about what’s coming next to our corner of Georgia, you won’t want to miss this one!
