The ambiance is wonderful, the service is very kind and attentive, the food is a 10/10. The new owner Matt is a wonderful, kind, funny, and cares about his costumers
I had the Caesar Salad with the Villa Antinori Tuscan Red Wine and Rack of Lamb and every taste bud was titalated.
Had a great dinner here! The food was delicious, but the service really made the night. Our server, Justin, was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely asking for his section next time we’re in!
Amazing hidden gem! o Average food, we received the best service from Justin. We will definitely come back
Absolutely disgraceful experience. My parents chose this establishment to celebrate three birthdays and an my engagement with my fiancés family flying in from Michigan. My parents had gone in person and walked through with the hostess to confirm a circular table by the windows for sunset. They called again and spoke to the manager last week to confirm this arrangement, as it was a special once in a lifetime occasion. When we arrived, the table was given away and no effort was made to rectify this clear management breakdown. Further, the food took over an hour with multiple parties coming and going before our party of 8 received our lukewarm meal. On top of that, service was poor, with us having to ask for waters periodically. Further more, rowdy drunk clientele was permitted in ball caps and flip flops to dine in the nicer area, something I’ve never seen at “nicer” dinner restaurants. The manager other than lip service made no effort to right this. Never seen management so poor, very sad to see it go down in quality after the hurricane
Good food and friendly service. Beautiful view. On one occasion we're able to observe a group of dolphins frolicking.
Food was ok. Sorry they took smoked salmon offering off the menu. Serve more side salads and less fried stuff. Calamari was soggy not crisp. So sad. Love the view. The service is fantastic. Food was not the usual quality.
We stopped in here last night for a light meal. I looked on open table earlier to see about securing a reservation, but it looked pretty wide open. We figured we'd eat at the bar if we couldn't get a table - it was just the two of us and it happened to be freezing cold last night. Around 6:45 we walked in and were told there was no availability for at least 2 hours if we didn't have a reservation. The host also told us unfortunately the bar was full as well. We started to leave and were in the parking lot when we both stopped and looked at each other and decided to check open table - just to see if there was anything open. Lo and behold, reservations were available - several as a matter of fact. We made a reservation for 7pm (in 10 minutes) and went back inside. Needless to say it was a little awkward having just been told there was nothing available. The host said "We'll a table just became available". Really??? I still can't figure out why he would've told us they were full - when clearly they were not. Once we were seated we saw several empty tables. Regardless , the food here was delicious. I had lobster bisque and an appetizer of gnocchi bolognese and my husband had the French onion soup and escargot. The waiter didn't mention any specials to us (I don't know whether they had any to mention anyway) but he was efficient and the service was fine. The dining room had a great view and the sunset that evening was spectacular. We didn't have a window table, but it was beautiful just the same. Overall, I would probably go here again but thought it was really strange to be turned away initially. As a side note, we were both dressed fine - no different than most of the other diners. Weird.
Amazing food, great views

the food was good it’s always good!! our waiter Michael was outstanding it was the best service ever Bob Smith
Love this restaurant! Food and service are always excellent. One small issue is the area where they seat parties of two. It is on the lower level, narrow, and the sun bakes you, especially if you’re near a window. I have sat here several times and while the noise level is low, it also feels like you’re not really in the restaurant. They should put more tables for two in the main dining room.
We visited again yesterday, St. Patricks day 2026. It was very crowded. I had a house salad, very good, and a bistro burger and fries, which was ok. My wife had the lobster bisque, which she like and corned beef and Cabbage, which was standard fare. I am glad I did not get it as the corned beef was too fatty for me. We sat near the windows which had many 2 person tables, 2 deep. Just too many tables and people for me. The food and drinks did come quickly. No short beer available. I also do not remember it being so noisy, like a cafeteria. It was also a bit pricey. Our waiter was very friendly and hard working but i think the wait staff was a bit overwhelmed. I do not think I will visit again. .. Last review started here: Great food, views and service. A longtime establishment in dunedin. Our server was great. A little pricey . Has an outside bar section. Section first come first serve section and an inside reserve section. I recommend reservations. Near downtown Dunedin. A cool, pet friendly place, but very crowded, especially during spring training for MLB.
A perfect Friday afternoon, sitting out on the deck, enjoying the water views. Our server Rya made us feel right at home. We told her we were on a four-day weekend from Pennsylvania and she made us feel very welcome. She explained the menu to us and answered all of our questions. Coming from up north we wanted to have seafood and she recommended the clam bake which was out of this world. I even recommended it to other tourists as a great special. Thank you to Rya for making us feel right at home and making sure our visit was enjoyable.
Great place for that special night. Five star food and service. My favorite restaurant in Dunedin.
Walking through Dunedin on a Sunday evening we happened to spot Bon Appetit. We wanted water view and we got just what we wanted! Atmosphere: Romantic near the water Food: We ordered a bunch of appetizers to try different things. The mussels were my favorite thing ever, I still want to go back and get more. Flatbread and calamari were also delicious and hit the spot. I had a nice glass of Sangria which was excellent. Service: was just OK, I understand that they were busy, but we were outside and felt a little forgotten. Definitely worth it for the atmosphere and the food.
Bon Appétit is always an over the topic experience with superb service, amazing food, and the best view in Dunedin!
Been here many times, food is usually outstanding but was disappointing this time. The lobster meat add-on did not taste like Lobster at all, or even any shellfish very very flavorless. The Maple glazed half duckling was not a half duckling at all, no breasts just two leg quarters, which is clearly not a half duckling. Service was spotty, kept having to look around for my waiter, however they were very accommodating to my service dogs and this is the first time out of maybe 15 visits over the years that was disappointing.
Birthday reservation, asked for a window table,and when sat by the seater he goes into how I made sure that we got the best table,that I had put pressure on them when that didn't happen and then get the worst table in the restaurant when I requested a window table.$48 piece of fish that came to the table that looked like the salad guy made the dish,never seen grouper cut so badly,waitress was obviously working on the other side of restaurant, food runner tried to give our food to another table,and I witnessed this 3 other times,pure cluster fuck at this restaurant, no air-conditioning. Way over priced don't be fooled by it being on the water, so many better restaurant out here,don't waste your money
Although we did get to sit outside by the water, it was a long a walkway that lacked the atmosphere of the upper deck.
