This was hands down the best dining experience my husband and I have ever had. Everyone is so pleasant and a big thank you to Michael and Daniel for the lovely service especially on our special day (Marriage Anniversary). The food was divine, the pianist playing soothing music made the whole night as romantic as could be. Definitely a 10/10 would recommend and look forward to coming back again! -The Wilsons read more

Wonderful dining experience. Nenad was courteous and attentive. My first time at Bon Appett and would definitively recommend

Bon Appetit holds an extremely fond place in my heart because this is where I was married in the most gorgeous setting right on the water. Working with the wedding planner was wonderful, they handled everything excellently and gave me some great ideas regarding which room to do the ceremony in and of course helped me pick a delicious menu that guests talked about long after the wedding. Prices for the wedding packages were very reasonable. We had prime rib and chicken Marsala as our mains and the food was so well prepared and presented beautifully. Since we were married during the day, the stunning water views and pelicans flying by added such a nice touch to a wonderful event. I've also been to an event there at night and the night view with all the lights along the shore is quite beautiful as well. read more

My wife took me to the restaurant for my birthday. She made the reservations, four months in advance and requested a window seat overlooking the water. When we arrived, we were seated next to a window overlooking the driveway and the outside bar. When we asked to move, she was denied and was told she needed to be there at 4pm for a 6pm reservation to get one of those seats.....Even though she had a reservation four months in advance requesting a window seat overlooking the water. The host was not very friendly. To make matters worse, another couple then asked to move to an open seat by the window with a water view and was moved to the seat that my wife requested. Additionally, the wedge salad was warm and limp. We should've left. There's no situation where the host should treat a customer that way when they had a long term reservation requesting a water view seat. I would not recommend going to this place based on the service from the host and the cost of the food. On a positive note, our server, Ben was amazing. He was the best part of the evening. read more

My parents really love to come here when they are in Florida and wanted to go there to celebrate my mom's birthday. We were sat in the back by the window, so we had a nice view. It is extremely loud and we had a hard time hearing each other and our server. Service overall was just okay. Drinks: - Key Lime Pie Martini - very sweet and tasted like flavored eggnog. sent back - Pomegranate Martini - not made consistently. My mom's was much sweeter than mine. Good, but nothing special - Almond Old Fashioned - this was nice. The almond was a nice change from a normal old fashioned Appetizers/Entrees: - Prosciutto & Date Flatbread - this had a nice amount of proscuitto, but there was too much balsamic dressing as it overpowered the whole dish - Spanish Octopus - TINY! It has nice flavor, but there's not a lot of octopus in it, which defeats the purpose - Seared Sesame Ahi Tuna - very nice flavor, but they only gave 6 pieces of tuna and 3 wonton chips for nearly $30 - Cedar Plank Salmon - best thing we got. It's the only dish that had the perfect amount of everything and was enjoyable to eat. The cedar gives the salmon a very nice flavor - Port Wine Glazed Pork Osso Bucco - disgusting mushroom risotto. Pork was undercooked so we had to send it back to be fixed. Came back cooked correctly and tasted decent. They gave a good amount of pork. This place is ridiculously pricey for the small amount you get for most of the dishes. Lots of issues with our visit and it just isn't a relaxing place to eat with how loud it gets. 2.5 stars overall. read more

Dining at Bon Appétit on the water in Duncan was an unforgettable experience. The peaceful waterfront setting made the fantastic meal feel extra special, and the service truly elevated the evening. Nikki went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. I had purchase a wine glass and it had a slight crack I did not notice and the manager, Christian, handled it with genuine care and professionalism. He is mailing me a new one no questions asked. Their attention to detail and commitment to making our visit perfect turned the night into a wonderful memory that left us feeling completely taken care of. read more

Went to Bon Appetit for our anniversary. We are seated at a table with a wonderful view. The service was very attentive. Even though we reserved it 30 minutes before our reservation, they had a happy anniversary card at our table. Most of the food was very good. Our appetizer was very good. it was from their 250 celebration menu. I got the surf and turf and signature salad. The salad, can't remember the year it was named after, would give Columbia's 1905 salad a run for its money. I really enjoyed it. The surf and turf was quite expensive for what you got and the filet portion was of a disappointing size and quality. I have cooked a lot of steaks, including filet. the three tiny pieces had grizzle and seemed like they were the trimmings of the filet. It was disappointing, but the scallops saved the dish. Even though they did not have a good sear, Ramsey would have thrown them on the floor, they were some of the best tasting scallops I have had in a long time. Flavor 6 Star, sear, 3 Star. My wife had the sole, prepared table side. One of the most expensive things on the menu, it has quite small. My wife, who is not a big eater, left hungry. She ordered the Brussel sprouts and was disappointed. She took them home and never ate them. She never throws left overs away but did this time. It was the only significant miss of the evening. So view and service were 5 star. Food was probably 3 star, so the rating is 4 star. Not sure we would intentionally go back, it is about an hour away from our house, but if we were in the area, we might go again. read more

We made dinner reservations here weeks ago. Bon Appétit Restaurant & Marina Bar is a landmark waterfront restaurant in Dunedin. It is known for its panoramic views of St. Joseph Sound, fresh seafood, and American/European cuisine since 1976. It offers both indoor dining with reservations and outdoor seating at the marina cafe, with options for lunch, dinner, and special diets, plus a full bar and live music. The atmosphere is considered sophisticated yet relaxed, I was surprised the by 8 o'clock. Everybody had emptied out.. We sat at a round table facing the sunset, beautiful. Miguel waited on us, he was attentive. Six of us ordered delicious seafood. I really enjoyed my Aji tuna, my husband, his grouper sandwich, friends, the oysters, the octopus and lobster roll. Portions were generous prices were reasonable and presentation was gorgeous. We celebrated a birthday and our table enjoyed a complementary glass of Prosecco. We weren't rushed and happy to be able to enjoy a relaxing dinner. read more

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! read more

The service was great. The food was good, but a little pricey, but expect nothing less for being on the water. The ambiance, oh my, I was at the bar, where I was treated like family but the outside is right on the water. Absolutely beautiful. Sorry the only pics I have are of sunset. The people kept me so engaged in conversation I forgot to take more. read more

Came here with my girlfriend for dinner after dark. We had the best table inside--in the corner of the full-glass wall, but we couldn't see the water. Bummer. That would have been amazing! The restaurant has great water views if you come during the day. They also have an extensive outdoor area with a bar and live music, which is on the parking lot side. Our server, whose name I didn't catch, has been there about 40 years. The menu is a classic American upscale menu with many options. I ordered the crab and artichoke salad and we split a side of the mushroom risotto. I also had a dirty martini, which was generous. They brought rolls and butter, as well. The salad was DELICIOUS and the crab on it was generous. I only ate half and took the rest home for lunch the next day. It had brioche toasts that were so good! The mushroom risotto was meh, in my opinion. We also shared the flourless chocolate cake, which was huge and delicious, came with sliced strawberries and a scoop of vanilla ice cream with, I think, chopped pistachios. A good date spot or special night out. read more

We came here for our anniversary. Was nice to be able to make reservations and have our request met for a window seat so we could watch the beautiful sunset. Service was on it- always stopping by to check on us. The fish spread for the appetizer was quite decent--nothing extraordinary, but what you'd expect anywhere along Florida's coast. The real highlight was the lively bar area, which seemed to buzz with energy as the sun dipped below the horizon. We took a leisurely stroll out to the water's edge, capturing breathtaking photos of the sunset that painted the sky in hues of gold and rose. It's clear this spot enjoys stunning sunsets every evening. We're already planning our return on a Friday or Saturday night to experience the magic again, especially because they have a bagpiper who serenades the sunset, adding a touch of enchantment to an already picturesque scene. read more

To celebrate 44 years of marriage we chose Bon Apetit for its view of the Gulf & past experiences. We wanted to eat at a classy restaurant, and Bon Apetit seemed the perfect place. We were seated by the window, next to an empty corner table. Unfortunately the couple who eventually occupied that spot watched YouTube or other videos on their phones and we heard numerous times the wedding music in those videos. They were less distracting than the two couples next to us. Their loud conversations made it impossible for us to hear each other as we spoke quietly to one another. We finally abandoned our conversation and took out our smart phones. The food was okay. My husband's ribeye was tough and chewy. It was medium more than the requested medium rare. He thoroughly enjoyed his mashed potatoes, and I enjoyed mine. The butternut squash was the best I have ever had. My filet mignon was cooked perfectly and was delicious. Our server was adequate. He took our orders. Someone else delivered our steaks. We do not recall him returning until it was time to pay the bill. This was a less than memorable way to spend our anniversary. read more

Very rarely do I ever get taken back by a restaurant, it's super rare. But the time I had at Bob Appétit was phenomenal. It's my moms favorite restaurant, and I can absolutely see why. The ambience, the music, the food, the service, the VIEW... it was all incredible. We set a reservation for 530pm. Which gave us plenty of time to prepare for sunset! Their dining room inside is nestled with perfect sight on the water. I'm from out of town, but this is a Gem in the Dunedin. Aka little Ireland. Super close to downtown Dunedin too! We all had a few drinks; Chai Manhattan, Aperol spritz, champagne. Etc. A few of the entrees that were ordered, because we share our bites with each other were: The 14oz Ribeye, Lobster Tail, Bouillabaisse, Grilled Salmon, French Onion Soup (BEST I EVER HAD) Our server, Michael, was very accommodating as we saw it was extremely busy at the restaurant. He showed us in full detail, the specials of the night & described them eloquently. I was very impressed with his enthusiasm & delivery. We didn't go hard on desserts, as we each had our own $3 dessert shooter, all varied in flavors, shared of course. The restaurant is big on shareables it seemed, if thats your style or restaurant!! I will have to come back & celebrate more intimate date nights here. I was completely impressed with everything. I attached a few sights to further describe my experience. kindly, GTB read more

We came to Bon Appetit for the views, and left feeling pleasantly surprised! We made reservations, but there were plenty of available tables on a Sunday night. The menus are on iPads and a little hard to navigate at first. We ordered our drinks, then headed out on the dock to snag some sunset pictures. We ordered the shrimp cocktail for an appetizer, which came in an oversized martini glass, so fun! For dinner, I ordered the Sole, which was de-boned at the table and cooked perfectly. We decided to share crème brulee for dessert, which was slightly burnt but overall good with the fresh berries on the side. Our server, Cameron, was friendly and attentive! They do have a dedicated parking lot which was confusing to get to, but super convenient! read more

The food was good and the view was phenomenal. The service was very subpar. The server showed up twice within 1 hour of being there. And we had to find her to close out our tab. Then the minimal option for a tip was 20% (unless I chose to customize it). I opted for the 20%. After that we asked about walking out onto the lighted deck. We were told it was locked. No one attempted to unlock it even though it was only 10:00pm. After that we went to the outdoor bar and not once were we acknowledged by the young bartender even though we were there for 20 minutes. And there were only 4 other patrons there. The food was excellent but unfortunately it was ruined by a lack of customer service! read more

Looked for a restaurant on the water and thanks to yelp found this place. Very welcoming friendly staff. They are professional servers, nice location great atmosphere inside. Ordered the escargot and it was a miss. Some people like curry but my opinion, don't add it to escargot doesn't belong. French onion soup was very salty along with everything else I ordered . 5 star service 3 star food. Won't be back, you might like it But not my cup of tea. read more

Always a lovely evening at Bon Appetite! Our server Michael, from Mexico City, made this visit extra special! We had been drinking Bubbly, at the bar, and brought us another complementary glass while we waited for our food! Very thoughtful! We ordered the muscles and split the filet with a lovely Bearnaise sauce! Excellent! Steak was perfectly done! We always split an entree... I have no idea how people eat the American, generous portions! This is a very very special place and when the service was as good as ours, makes you feel like you can't wait to go back! Also... almost forgot the best part... I am gluten free and they even have a gf key lime pie! Outstanding! read more

This is one of your finer dining experiences in Dunedin. With a spectacular view and unobstructed view of the Sunset if it cooperates. The restaurant is well lit and the staff is top notch.

This was my second visit. The first was better, but only had an app and drinks at that time. Service was kind but extraordinarily slow. The ambience was lovely in their outside area.

Another year in the books. The wife and I started our New Year's Eve party at Bon Appetit. Honestly it the perfect place for a date night or going for some drinks. They have an amazing view of the ocean with both in door and out door seating including an out door bar area. I have not gotten a chance to sit down and have a dinner here but had a cup of the lobster bisque and it is amazing. Chunks of lobster with a rich and creamy broth. Could have easily ordered a second cup. Also had there play on the old fashioned called Almond old fashioned. Not too bad and nice to sip on. I think I had just one too many drops of bitters but that also my taste. Topped with an orange and cherry's. Service was completely on top of it as it was very busy for being New Year's Eve. Bar staff kept checking on everyone, making sure they are all good or needed anything. I ordered my cup of lobster bisque and had it in front of me with a roll with in 5 mins. I hope to bring the wife here for a meal soon! read more

A sweet location right on the water, great views and a diverse menu is why we poked our heads in here for lunch. Apparently it's connected to the Best Western next door, but the vibe is not at all that of a hotel restaurant- it feels like its own thing, with lots of casual outdoor seating (with heaters and high tops at the bar area) but also a bit more elevated at the separate tented patio area where we ate. The menu is seafood-heavy but with a nice selection of everything from salads to soups to pasta, but the Salmon sandwich was the right call for me, even though the fish was a bit overcooked and the bread - well, there was a lot of it, and a bit more than I thought necessary. Still, on a clear December day with a view of the water, our vantage point did not suck. There's an adjacent pier you can walk out onto, and apparently there is seating on it for certain parts of the year. Add to that the fact that our server was professional, patient and efficient and full of good info, and you have a thumbs up consensus from everyone in our group. It's also just off the main drag of Dunedin so you can stroll around afterward to work off the meal. A very nice, slightly refined spot with great views that should please most. read more

We stayed at the Best Western hotel at the marina, and CHOSE to have lunch/dunch at Bon Appetit 3 times (which, for us, is a rave testament to the diversity and deliciousness of this restaurant). All 3 times, we chose to go to the external site, overlooking the water, at "odd times" so we could avoid the enthusiastic crowd, who love the bar, the music, the raucous atmosphere. Service was friendly, efficient, and well-done. The seafood was excellent. The view was fantastic. And we could STILL hear the live music from the bar, behind us --- albeit with less decibels, since we were many yards away. Great choice of location. Nice restaurant. Fabulous panoramic view of the water. read more

This restaurant is excellent. The service was good however, server should always take the ladies order first. Aside from that one picky peice of feedback.

Came in here the other weekend, and I have to say I was not that impressed. Coming in however, I loved the layout of the restaurant and that we had a view of the ocean. I loved the views from the inside of the restaurant. But the food here, I was not impressed with. To start, we ordered some drinks and the oysters. The drink I got was great, it was a spicy margarita and I loved it. The oysters were good, but some looked a bit off, so we didn't touch them. My bf and I ordered the French onion soup each and the ribeye to share. We were trying to eat light and thought it would be perfect. The soups were great but the steak and the sides it came with, not so much. The steak was cooked perfectly, however it lacked flavor. The coffee seasoning( I forget what it was) just did not have the best taste, it was missing something in my opinion. I believe it was paired with best and sweet potato mash, and they did not compliment the dish either. I looked over at my sisters plate which was the land and sea, and I could tell that the filet medallions looked so dry and were over cooked and she confirmed it. I also tried there risotto it came over, and it was not great. However the scallops were good. If I were to come back here it would not be for a steak, I probably shoulda have known better and ordered an entree with seafood but at the time the steak sounded delicious and I've had one that sounded similar to this one before, but it was not at all the same in taste. read more
