The food is very good and the drinks are yummy. The view of the water is so beautiful and the staff is very attentive. Great spot!

Beautiful setting on the intracoastal waterway and delicious fresh seafood, excellent service.....Never disappoints!

Slow, 1.5 hours for the first bite of food. Average food. Good drinks food came out cold. forgot appetizer read more

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. read more

The sunsets in Dunedin are always amazing so cannot go wrong with ambiance. However, outside dining does not allow reservations so plan accordingly for sunset. Service is always top notch. Food is good but some menu items better than others. I like the filet best as always served perfectly. read more

I love this restaurant on the water. The music can be a little bit loud if you're dining under the tent outside, sometimes it might be windy. There's also a wonderful bar and depending on what side you sit on you can view the water. It's not inexpensive. read more

Um. It wasn't horrible. Will never eat here again though. Food was okay. Nothing to ever rave about. Bouillabaisse was pretty rough....bland as all get go. Probably the most bland one I've ever had. The Brussel sprouts were the star though! They were great. Service was solid. View was pretty. A place to go to once to say you did it because the view is pretty lol read more

We made a reservation for Thursday night for 4 people, got great seats, and nice view. We didn't know what to expect but we knew that the view will be nice. Service was outstanding, very knowledgeable and attentive. His name was something "Serbia". He definitely was more of an old school waiter, respectful, dressed nice, and very attentive. Nowadays so hard to get a good server, even in Michelin star restaurants, often times you see young servers who smell like weed, and don't want to be there. So we were very pleased with service. They have a very large wine selection. We got a seafood tower and it was amazing. We loved it very much. I had scallops for main. Dessert: tiramisu and chocolate cheesecake balls. All food was great, we were positively surprised with how great food was. The only reason it is 4 and not 5 stars is because of the restroom. It was very dirty, with toilet paper everywhere and it smelled bad. Also it was Thursday not super busy day, they should keep bathroom clean. Other than that, everything was great. read more

Not sure where to start but here goes . Food was very good but came all at once . Appetizer, salad, and entree . Our biggest concern was how our waiter from Serbia ( never got his name ) ripped us off by serving us 9oz glass of wine without offering the 6 oz .i ordered the surf and turf special the was supposed to be $97. That was fine . However, the waiter intentionally charged me for a filet mignon $55 and a lobster tail $55. This was criminal behavior and he should be let go . We been at the restaurant man times but won't be back . I am a physician in the Tampa area and will be warning others . Thank you Charles Smithe read more

I was working through lunch and new to the area so I thought I'd treat myself to something good. The restaurant is located on the water and a beautiful place to enjoy your meal. However, the escagot was so overcooked and mushy that I could hardly tell if it was escagot or some piece of meat or fat. The roasted duck was so dried tasting like cardboard and appearing as if it had been under the warmer for days and there was no juice left; the roasted carrots that came with it was so soft that you'd not need teeth to eat them; there was hardly any spinach. Bottom line, this is not acceptable to be served in a fine dining establishment and was not justified the $60 I spent for lunch. I'd not order from them again nor take my family there. read more

We went on Mothers Day and walked upstairs for their buffet. $$$ is how I would describe this place. You can sit anywhere and still be able to enjoy the water view on a wonderful sunny morning. Food was on a buffet, servers were quick to clear and provide beverages, the buffet stations were well manned, seating was comfortable, high quality restaurant but be ready to pay $100 per person ply the 20% tip. Wonderful experience celebrating mothers. Highly recommend it for special occasions read more

TOM TERRIFIC HERE WITH ANOTHER HONEST RESTAURANT REVIEW. On August 31, 2024, I wanted to celebrate my 23rd anniversary of retirement from a Pennsylvania steel mill so naturally I chose the best restaurant in Tampa Bay to have dinner. I was fortunate to get a table in the main dining room and had a view of St. Joseph Sound and the 8 pm sunset. That really added to my dining experience. Chobbo was my very efficient server and I started the night off with a Dirty Martini ($12) made by Rachel the bartender. It had two bleu cheese olives. The drink was great. Next I opted for the grilled octopus with vegetables ($19). It was perfect and the saffron sauce was to die for. Lots of different veggies and plenty of octopus on the plate. You have to try it. For my main I decide on the 12 oz N.Y. strip ala Oscar ($54) done medium. It arrived as requested with red in the middle, a scoop of crab meat on top and a ton of asparagus, carrots, green beans and roasted potatoes that were still hot. The strip had a delicious full deep flavor that I was craving. For dessert I went with the petite Pina Colada ($4) which is sort of mousse concoction with pineapple on top. I loved it. I finished with an Ocean Mist drink with blueberries ($12) as I watched the sun set over Caladisi Island. The bill came to a little over $100 and I tipped Chobbo $25. As other servers passed my table, they said hello. Very friendly and inviting. The managers came over to see how i was doing and to make sure my food was properly prepared. It was and I complimented them both, Jeff and Christian. If you have not tried Bon Appetite I encourage you to do so. There's a reason they get selected as best of the best every year. read more

Great service, beautiful views, and delicious meals. It is a bit pricey but well worth it for a great date night.

Went here for Thanksgiving 2023. The food was amazing! We sat outside next to the water. The heaters were on outside for us so it was perfect. The appetizers were great! We had lobster bisque & also shrimp cocktail. For my entree I had the Rockfish & my husband had the Steak. For dessert I had sweet potato pie. We also had champagne. The food was perfect! The drinks were great! This was our first time eating out for Thanksgiving and it was worth it! This will definitely be a tradition for us now. The wait staff was beyond friendly. read more

On Saturday 7/12/25, we walked down to the marina, thinking we would just grab a cocktail and check out the restaurant. Place has a lovely outdoor area with live music and a bar; however, due to the heat and the humidity, we slid up to the inside bar for our cocktails. It is a bit more formal looking inside. We were all casually dressed. Took a look at the menu and liked what we saw so we inquired about reserving a table for dinner. We were in town for a celebration of life for a family member. Before we knew it our dinner group grew to a party of 14. Without hesitation, the hostess was able to accommodate our large and somewhat rambunctious group. Can't say enough good things about our server Sierra! She rolled with the punches with our group and did a great job with service which can always be challenging with such a large party. Everyone at our table raved about what they had ordered. Four of us opted to split an order of the ahi pokie, calamari, half a dozen oysters on the half shell. I also had a bowl of the lobster bisque, which was terrific and had lots of pieces of lobster. The oysters tasted so fresh and the red sauce did not need any additional horseradish because it was perfect just the way it was. Oh and the desserts! We split a crème brûlée and Keylime pie between four. We could've licked the plates clean because it was so tasty. Another family member had the coconut cream pie, which he inhaled. Probably the only negative I could have commented on would be that it was a bit loud in the restaurant due to several birthday celebrations. However the pianist Karen, who was sitting near our table, certainly made the ambience much better and she even took requests. To cap off our wonderful evening, we were graced with the most spectacular sunset! Love, love this place and when we get back to Dunedin, we will return. read more

Bon Appetit Restaturant in Dunedin , our all time favorite waterfront seafood restaurant !!!! Celebrated a "mom and me exclusive belated birthday dinner" for my daughter. We chose this place because they are the only place near us where we know of that serves fresh whole Maine lobster with attached claws and all. We were doted on with service deluxe by a lovely young lady whose name is Careena, alongside with 2 other food servers...talking about VIP treatment!!! The dinner lobsters were huge and baked to perfection! The shrimp stuffing we asked to serve on the side and served in style! Careena (beautiful outstanding service with a smile always) got us started with complimentary champagne from the start, and food and beverages, hot tea in beautiful porcelain teapots and cups , with dessert and a birthday candle was so nicely presented. Oh and not to forget the freshly baked rolls and rolled butter just first class all the way...fine dining at its best! Went home so happy, that even the valet parking attendant was so courteous , we were so pleased with our overall VIP treatment/experience! Manager Hugo greeted us on our way out and that added a warm welcome even more! Kudos to the management and staff of the amazing Bon Appetit Restaurant...Looking to book our next special event here in a couple of weeks. read more

Went back to this restaurant after several years and it still was a perfect spot for dinner and drinks. Good service. Nice location on the water and indoor and outdoor seating are a plus. Plenty of food options. Drink options are also plentiful. The food is very tasty and the while some may find the prices high, I think they are in line with the restaurant type and offerings. Some reviews mention the age of the diners. Personally I would prefer to be in a place where everyone isn't on their cellphone and have kids running around or making lots of noise. Plenty of options out there. Keep trying and you will find one that fits your personal preference I am sure. read more

Great atmosphere, food and service. Overall wonderful dining experience. I would recommend this restaurant

The view outside was nice if you looked straight ahead, but the outdoor area of this restaurant was filthy. For what they charge, a clean space is warranted--they need a day where the whole staff grabs rags and soapy water and gets to work. We ordered two very watered-down Diet Cokes for $6.50 and two grouper sandwiches with poor presentation: thick, and I mean thick, one individual 3/4 inch slice of red onion and one 1/2 inch slice of tomato with two small scraps of fish on top--for $25 each. So bun, an onion slice, a tomato slice, and flavorless fish scrap, all for $25. We also ordered a basic burger with Brie cheese on top for $18. The cheese wasn't fully melted--one side was jiggly like flan, while the other looked like normal Brie. Appetizing, right? I'm not kidding--save your money. Go to Five Guys for a burger or McDonald's for a fish sandwich. Our total for three disappointing sandwiches, two Coke flavored waters, subbing 1 regular fry for sweet potato fry up charge of $1.50 lol (not mentioned on the menu), water, tax, tip came to $94.32. I don't mind paying for good food, but this was far from it. I mentioned my disappointment the food that came out on our plates to the waitress and still left her a 20% tip since the poor quality wasn't her fault, though she really didn't seem to care much at all. I took my dad here for his birthday lunch, with my mom joining us. They didn't have to say a word--I could tell from their expressions that they were just as disappointed with their meals. I had a bad feeling even before the food arrived. To make things worse, I watched as the food was set down on a service table just a couple of feet away, where it sat waiting for our server to bring it over, despite the restaurant not being busy. Other waitresses were just chatting and hanging out, waiting for our server to come over and hand us our plates instead of helping to ensure our food was delivered promptly. Bottom line: save your money, please, you've been warned. Don't be fooled by the location by the water--this place is not the cute spot it appears to be. The food is bad, the service is indifferent, and the prices are outrageous for what you get. Spend your money somewhere that actually cares about the quality they're serving. I would not recommend this place for a special occasion, a holiday, if you're passing through and need a bite, keep on driving bc the disappointment was real. $94.32 for the above, come on. For lunch? Never again. read more

Disappointing for the money, at least at the Thanksgiving buffet. For $99 I'd expected real carved turkey and all they had was turkey "loaf" (processed). Stuffing was pretty good, though. There were a lot of choices on the buffet; vegetables were hit-and-miss with some undercooked and some just right. Dessert selections were adequate but nothing to get excited about--I think the cheesecake in the freezer case at Publix is tastier. I'd have been happy if it were half the price, but not for 99% of a hundred bucks. On the plus side, the service was beyond terrific (our waitress was exceptional) and the views are very nice. read more

Had an absolutely perfect lunch outside today! We showed up around 1pm on a gorgeous Saturday and scored one of the last outside tables. It's first come first serve for outside dining, but they do take reservations for indoor dining. They just recently started seating out on the pier too; our server told us it was actually the first day of doing so. We kept it sober for dry January by opting for mocktails - the cucumber refresher was so light and delicious! But they had an extensive cocktail and wine list, so if that' what you're looking for you won't be disappointed. The bread rolls were nice and crusty & the butter was on the slaty side in a good way. Our meals were top notch; my friend got the encrusted salmon & I got the duck. She really enjoyed her's; the portion size was great! My duck was an entire half, so it definitely could be split between two people honestly. The maple glaze was the perfect sweetness and the meat was cooked to perfection. The sweet potatoes paired so well with the flavors happening here. We made sure to save space for dessert and went with the crème brûlée - perfectly done, wonderfully rich, and the berries paired with it were peak ripeness. Our waitress was wonderfully sweet, but seemed to have quite a few tables to manage, so there were some delays at times. But honestly with a view so nice and food of such great quality, I don't mind sitting around and enjoying it all. read more

Came here because I had a gift card and heard from a friend the views were great and the food was amazing. I was greeted by friendly staff. I had a reservation that I made online for 6:30pm but I arrived a little after 6pm. The reservation system was easy to use and modify. I was seated immediately at a table by a window. The blinds were drawn due to the sun but they assured me that they would open the blinds once the sun was setting. Once seated, I was greeted by my server, Simon. He brought me a water and I ordered a Pepsi. They use paper straws, which I love for the purpose and for the environment but the change the taste of things in my opinion. I always carry a silicone travel straw so I was able to use that. I started off with the lobster bisque for $13.95. It was Lobster Fest so that was a treat. The lobster bisque was finished with a sherry wine and topped with whipped cream. This was very good but the bowl in came in was a little awkward. It was like a plate with a bowl in the middle. If the soup spilled on the plate it would splatter and make a mess. It was flavorful and had big chunks of lobster in it. I also ordered the Snails for $14. This was my favorite! They are baked in a Sweet Garlic, Herb & Shallot Curry Butter. They are served with a Mini Baguette. This was amazing! So much flavor! Would order this again. For my entree I ordered the half rack of New Zealand lamb for $34. This had an Herbal Pecan Crust and Natural Jus. It was a mint sauce that went well with the lamb. I ordered mine medium rare and they came out that way. Unfortunately more of the bone was covered in the Herbal Pecan Crust than the lamb. It came with potatoes and some vegetables that were very oily. Both the lamb and the vegetables were disappointing, especially for the price. For dessert I ordered the Creme Brûlée, which was served with fresh berries. This was very good! The service was a bit lacking though. After I ordered the soup and the snails. It went downhill. My server checked on my less and came by less. He walked by me at least twice when I needed a refill on my water and soda. It was an interesting set up. Someone would bring the various food items for myself and other patrons and place it on a table out of the way. Then the server(s) would deliver to the table. My rack of lamb sat for about 8 minutes on that table before being delivered by my server. The views were fantastic but the service was not. That makes the overall experience decline. Would not return due to service. read more
