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.

Crab artichoke salad

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.

Sunset

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.

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.

Touchless menu
Courtenay O.

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.

old fashioned

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

Espresso martini

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!

Caribbean Lobster Tail
Wendy S.

A little too chilly to sit outside last night, so chose the indoor bar. What a treat! We're from Boston and travel down here often - tonight's entertainment was brought to us by Bobby from Boston! Great to trade stories, watch the bartending show and have a delicious meal! The food. The ambiance, and the service were all outstanding. This is a must try if you are in Dunedin!

Grouper with fingerling potatoes
Kia R.

Oh this was amazing! Right on the water and an amazing view of the sunset. Parking is not a problem. There's a free lot across the park if their lot is full. I hear brunch is also very good. I got the fish and they deboned it table side and the lemon sauce was soooo good. I will be back to get the fish.

The bar is located on the third floor and we took the elevator to get up there. The atmosphere is an open outdoor bar with tiki themed decor and a DJ. The music was super loud which was not appealing to us but we found a secluded table that was away from the noise. The views from the rooftop are spectacular even if it was way too loud. We ordered one round of drinks and all of them were delicious! I ordered the buttery chi chi which was not super strong which was perfect for me. My partners ordered stronger drinks and both were delicious. The ratings on their menu are definitely accurate for what you can expect from a liquor forward perspective. The bar was slammed so it took a little bit to get our drinks but everyone was very nice. We didn't order any food but would probably return for drinks!

The staff was very helpful and answered all of my questions, from parking details to resort fees. Since my friends were also staying at the hotel, I requested to be on the same floor if availability allowed. I was pleasantly surprised to find that we were placed directly across the hall from each other--thank you to the staff for accommodating that request! The staff was friendly overall, and check-in was easy. The lobby is located on the sixth floor, which is a bit unique but not an issue. Parking is included in the price, and the in-and-out access to the lot was a great perk. I stayed in a room on the 10th floor with a pool view and was pleasantly surprised to with an ocean view too. It was great to enjoy coffee on the balcony! The room was clean and spacious. That said, the desk chair was noticeably scuffed on the back, and the bathroom mirror had scratches on the glass--both items that could use replacing. The hotel itself was quiet at night, which made for a restful stay. The next morning, I tried the breakfast buffet, which was disappointing. There were no hot food options such as eggs or oatmeal, and the coffee was not very good. While I was able to find something to eat, the breakfast offerings could definitely be improved. Overall, I would stay here again when visiting Clearwater Beach, though I would likely skip the breakfast buffet next time. One thing to note is that during busy seasons, the elevators--especially between the parking area, lobby, and guest rooms--can get crowded, which may result in longer wait times. I did not stay during busy season but it is something to consider if you come in the summer.

I was not expecting the garden or all the statues. I came here for the Lobster Festival so I had a chance to walk around. Both gardens are spectacular. I think they are the highlight of this events center. Since I wasn't here for a normal event, I didn't get the full vision of what it could look like. The inside area was spacious and nice as well. Everything is really clean and the building seems well taken care of. There are a million photo ops here for a wedding or dinner type event. All the Grecian details make a spectacular backdrop. From the outside, the building doesn't look like much. I think that's what makes the inside even more shocking. The parking lot is crumbling a little. There was a cone in the middle of a lane so people wouldn't drive over the hole. This is definitely an instance of don't judge a book by its cover. I would suggest coming and seeing this place in person if you are looking to book an event.
