Outstanding service! Great atmosphere. But the food…it was truly outstanding ! I sat at the bar. I had surf (scallops cooked to perfection) and turf (filet perfectly prepared medium rare) over mushroom risotto and a side salad. Definitely a little pricey, but the portions were large and the experience was worth it. You have to try Bon Appetit. Highly recommend!
Bon Appétit Restaurant & Bar is truly a gem, but what makes this restaurant exceptional is Hugo, the manager. You can immediately feel how much he genuinely cares about every guest’s experience. His attention to detail, warmth, and professionalism elevate the entire atmosphere and make you feel welcomed and valued from the moment you arrive. Hospitality like this is rare and unforgettable. The food is consistently excellent, the ambiance is elegant yet relaxed, and the stunning waterfront view reminds me of beautiful evenings in Italy — peaceful, scenic, and full of charm. 🇮🇹✨ A place where great cuisine meets true hospitality. We will definitely keep coming back.
Valentine dinner was good service was excellent. My food choices weren’t as good as I usually have had in the past. However I would go back on a regular day!
Food was delicious and the view is gorgeous 😍
The execution of food did not live up to expectations. We had a much better experience in the past which is why we decided to make these reservations. It was a prix fixe menu for Valentine’s Day. Food came out quickly— too quickly. It tasted premade and not reheated well. It was obvious the night for them was about quantity over quality. It was a special night for us and we were happy to be together so we did not complain. We had other issues addressed and wanted to move on. The service staff was great and I know they are not responsible for the kitchen. A kitchen already overwhelmed. Next year’s celebration will be somewhere else and possibly all other reservations.
The special Valentine's Day menu for $99 was certainly good value, and as a meal in itself including the Glass of Champagne was exceptional. It was packed and at that price no surprises. The extras if you needed them to add to the meal were fairly priced and also very good. Highly recommend.
Been a loyal customer of Bon Appetit for almost 10 years, and always gave 5 stars on my reviews. I had spend numerous celebrations there like NYE, Xmas, aniversaries etc and always had my requests to seat at front window view to the ocean attended and top star reception, but yesterday was a little different, I guess the new management don’t care for older customers, I made my booking more or less a month ago for Valentine’s Day 4 course dinner to seat at the front window and the gentleman at the reception with I believe to be the new manager totally ignored my request giving me a table by the orchestra with was extremely loud and no view to the ocean, I went back to the reception to tell him I made this reservation long time ago requesting sunset view he put me in another table with side view of the ocean but no direct sunset view and no privacy was surrounded of other tables very close to each other, I went back to the front to tell him I rather wait in the bar for the usual type of table I was looking for he just stared at me and said he gave a good table and he was too busy to attend my request with I felt extremely rude, and then the other gentleman who also was at the front desk saw me and took care of my request and put me in the location I wanted to be from the beginning. I just don’t understand since that table was empty since when I arrived WHY this new manager did that to me? It almost ruined my celebration if was not for the gentleman that step in, thanks to him unfortunately I don’t know his name. Sadly after this issue I never spend any important dates there. I can spend in other restaurants that also have amazing sunsets and happy to attend my requirements.
This was a very delightful dinner! Our waitress was great - very concentrated on her job. The food was top notch and cooked just as we requested. We will be back!!
Amazing and beyond beautiful place, amazing food, love it
You can never go wrong dining at the restaurant. Our server, Ryan H, was very attentive and made sure we had everything we wanted. The food was amazing! I highly recommend Bon Appetit if you haven’t already been there. You won’t be disappointed.
My honest review. We had dinner there last night. The waiter, Keith was very good, personable and attentive. The wine was good, the beet salad -splendid. The entree we selected was NOT GOOD, We ordered lobster tail as we were celebrating a birthday. It was very rubbery and overcooked. Not wanting to complain, we dealt with it. Have to say it was disappointing as our bill was quite high due to the tails.....and we were expecting the WHOLE DINNER to be good.
Superb!!!! We had a Valentine lunch with incredible food, drink and service! Our view was spectacular! Spacing of tables perfect for quality of noise. Can no say enough about Bon Appetit, our favorite for Dunedin dining.
Well done in every aspect on Valentine’s Day! Will make it an annual tradition!
Very nice place. Great service and food. We enjoyed our 55th Anniversary dinner very much.
My husband & I went to Bon Appétit to celebrate our Valentine’s Anniversary of 44 years. They had an Anniversary card on the table & we were each given a glass of champagne. It was such a special touch. Our server, Ryan from PA, was gracious & attentive. The meal, as always, was amazing. This is our go-to restaurant for a special celebration meal. We appreciate the atmosphere, the scenery, the service & the fine dining. We definitely recommend dining here! You will not be disappointed! Bon Appètit!
Delicious food. Great views. Outstanding service. Very loud, so not too private feeling.
Arianna was a very good server. Our food was delicious & the presentation was beautiful. The manager checked on us to make sure everything was to our liking. We highly recommend
