Great views of the ocean. Daniel was our waiter and he was great! We sat outside, so as the sun started to come down it felt like it was burning our faces. The shades don’t come all the way down, but we were told the glass does protect against the UV rays. I do wish the shades came down all the way. The cauliflower “steak” piccata is $28 while a chicken entree is $29. I’m not sure that pricing logic makes sense, but I love piccata sauce, so I ordered the cauliflower dish. It did not look as pictured on the menu. It wasn’t charred at all. The sauce was very bland; I couldn’t taste any lemon or white wine flavor. And they ran out of caper berries, but didn’t say anything about it until I brought it up. They did make a new cauliflower steak that was slightly charred and had some regular capers sprinkled over it. The sauce had portions of it where you could taste the white wine or the lemon, but most of it was still bland. Needless to say, I would never order the cauliflower piccata dish again. We also had the Cesar salad, which comes with two anchovies. That seemed a bit low for the size of the salad. But overall, the salad was good. We also had the lump crab cake appetizer. That was great. No complaints there. Pure crab chunks, no breading. I loved it. And again, our server, Daniel, was great. He was always pleasant and frequently checked in.

Last night, I had the pleasure of attending the Citrus Gala, a benefit event for the Dunedin History Museum, hosted at the iconic Bon Appétit in Dunedin. From the moment I arrived, it was clear why this venue remains a beloved gem in the Tampa Bay area. The setting is absolutely unparalleled. With panoramic views of St. Joseph Sound and the Gulf beyond, there simply isn’t a more picturesque waterfront dining experience in the region. As the sun set, the views transitioned from stunning to truly magical — a perfect backdrop for a special evening. The staff at Bon Appétit deserve special recognition. Throughout the event, their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail elevated the entire experience. Whether it was a passing tray of beautifully crafted hors d’oeuvres or a perfectly timed refresh of drinks, every moment felt thoughtfully orchestrated. And the food — exceptional. Each dish showcased fresh, vibrant flavors that celebrated the best of Florida’s coastal cuisine. The chefs managed to impress a diverse crowd, which is no small feat at a large-scale gala. Bon Appétit isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a Dunedin institution that continues to deliver top-notch dining and service while supporting the community. Whether for a romantic dinner, a family gathering, or a meaningful event like the Citrus Gala, it remains one of the area’s finest destinations.

The ambience and service were outstanding. The filet steak was cooked medium well when we asked for medium rare but I certainly would go back for the experience and the wonderful views.

This place is a HOT mess. My food was less than average...how can u screw up flatbread? First and last visit

Food is good and a great place for a special occasion.

The food and service were as amazing as the views. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Great view! Great food! Wonderful service!

We enjoyed a lovely waterview as we had Easter dinner. The menu featured a number of tempting options - we had crab bisque, lobster tails, and filet mignon. with sauted veggies, sweet potato strudel, topped off by chocolate mousse. Included were hot breads and salad. Everything was delicious, and the service was excellent. Cant wait to go back!

We always enjoy dinner here especially at sunset. The staff is very friendly and the service great. Can't wait to return!

Loved the view. Great ambience and food--the. Our server, Iryna, was knowledgeable and friendly. Thai style calamari was incredible as was the seared wild diver scallops and North Atlantic Dover Sole. My only disappointment was when booking the table the time slot that I wanted wasn't available and yet when we arrived the restaurant was virtually empty and did not fill the entire time we were there.

Extremely disappointing experience. We are New York financial advisors that take Florida clients to dinner. BA is outdated, and staff is not coordinated. We had a waiter, no name but from Serbia that thought he was the show. poor coordination from drink order, appetizers and dinner. literally set down entrees before appetizers were cleared. I looked forward to my Dover Sole, after being deboned presented cool with a uncooked vegetable medley. General guests opinion food not warm and lacked presentation. A beautiful sunset reduced the meal disappointment.

Amazing people , delicious food .

Great experience.

First visit since new ownership took over. Just as good as I remembered it from my last visit under original ownership. The ambience is hard to beat, too….

Excellent raw oysters and calamari. We sat outside on the water. Highly recommend.
