We went for dinner short notice. Inside was jam packed during a cold front and directed to come back or take a table out on the patio bar... The two bartenders outside immediately greeted us and got the heaters working. The gentleman of the pair handled our table and was beyond a gem. He recommended two dishes and both were some of the best seafood weve had in FL. Tried the pistachio crusted seabass, wow just perfectly done. Also had the signature grouper dish and it was nailed outta the park! Pictured is the pistachio seabass with fried gnocchi in a butternut squash cream sauce and asparagus tips (I hate butternut squash but this was beyond anything I've ever had).
Extremely expensive
Horrible waiter. Extremely rude when he wanted to go over the menu and I said no because I was waiting for my husband and daughter to get there. He insisted and I was shocked. He asked why he was doing this. He leaned close and told me to chill. I just sat there dumbfounded. I told my husband and we decided to leave. Went down to Pisces for sushi and had an amazing time. Won't go back to Bon A petit
We had a wonderful time. The service was a little slow but they were very busy. We were jot in a hurry. Everything I have had at Bon appetite has been wonderful.
We all enjoyed our dinners, the pork Osso Bucco, scallops, and Bouillabaisse. The bread was even top notch. My only complaint is how close our table was to the next one.
You go here for the view. Unfortunately, our table did not have much of a view because of its location. I understand this is just bad luck. The waiter was overworked and not able to keep up as I would have expected. We had drinks, then ordered a bottle of wine to go with the meal. Even waiting, then eating slowly, the meal was almost done before the wine arrived. Also, the lobster tail was tough. The table next to me mentioned the same thing so I would not recommend.
Server completely over whelmed, servicing way too many tables. Took about 1/2 hour between our interactions with server. Raw Oysters and Onion soup, excellent. Land and Sea entree was just OK. Disappointingly Steak portion minuscule and a little tough for is expected from this restaurant. Grouper Entree Magnificent. Hostess seated a couple behind a post. They could not see Sunset. Gentleman had his back to the view. Beware of being pigeon holed when you dine here.
Nice meeting you Yvonne!! See you 03/02!! There'll be 4 of us!!

Ryan was a stellar Server. My anniversary ended on a GRAND level. Greeted by Lilian and Don the manager made a cameo🤎🤎 Food was superb.
I have lived in Dunedin for 7 years and this was my first time dining here and will be the last. Service was absolutely awful. The server checked on our 2.5 hour dinner maybe 4 times. I had to ask the hostess for a drink because I was tired of waiting for so long. People sitting near by were experiencing the exact same issues as us. Waiting around for someone to refill drinks, bring boxes, and get the check so they could leave. The people at the bar were so rowdy and loud. No one said anything, people asked to move tables to be away from them. My steak was not properly cooked, and was as tough as a rock. My girlfriend's shrimp were absolutely disgusting. Also hard as rocks. She had 2 of them and couldn't stomach anymore. Within 45 min of finishing our meal she has experienced diarrhea, could barely make it out of the car. We believe it is due to the shrimp. Tried calling the restaurant 3 times with no answer. Beyond disappointed and underwhelmed. Our experience needs to be rectified asap.
Happy wife happy life. Thank you Ryan for a great evening and serving us with such style. Food was very delicious and presentation was to live for.
Thank you Ryan for making our anniversary a very special one. Your suggestion to have my sauce put on the side of my grouper was a GOOD one. I would not have been happy because I didn’t care for the sauce at all, that would’ve been a total bad experience and a waste of money to both parties. Kudos to you for that. The young lady thst greeted us Lilian was a sweetheart. Don thank you for making your rounds and checking on us letting guests know you were raising the blinds👏🏽👏🏽
Just got home from celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary. Lilian Avalynn, Ryan and manager Don made our dining an experience to remember

Wow! This place did not disappoint! Made reservations three days ahead of time for a Friday evening. We were seated right on time and the place was vibing both at the outdoor bar and restaurant. Perfect place to watch the sunset! Started with the bacon wrapped shrimp - so so good! I ordered the Land and Sea (3 scallops and filet medallions) and it was delicious! Scallops were a good size and filet tips were a nice portion. My husband ordered the pistachio crusted rack of lamb. Cooked to perfection, super tender and the homemade mint jam was amazing! After dinner, we headed out to the outside bar and it was such a great way to end the evening. Highly recommend if you're looking for a nice dinner with great service!
Overall good experience but this time the Dover Sole was rather dry. The other 2 meals were wonderful. The octopus app was exceptional. We will still return as we love thIs place.

Went there on Valentine's Day and the best experience ever. The server Ellen took great care of us. She was awesome. Also the valet guy gio was very helpful too.
This place never disappoints. We've eaten here five or six times and Ryan is our favorite server. If you have a chance to dine here, try to get in Ryan's section. He'll take great care of you.
