    Amazing! Went for my boyfriend’s birthday dinner and we were sat at a table overlooking the water. The service was impeccable, views were stunning (we came right at sunset), food was flavorful and we especially loved the pianist playing in the background. We will certainly be back!! :)

    The view was beautiful on the water. Our waiter was fine. It was lobster fest so we both had a lobster dish. I had the lobster pasta which was delicious but the lobster was tough. My son had the lobster tail which we also chewy. For the price, it was a disappointment. Probably won’t go back..

    Our steak was excellent, our salad was good, but our server continually displayed an attitude that made us feel that it was a bother for him to serve us. The pianist was outstanding and overall I would recommend this restaurant but only if a different server was available.

    We were looking for a lovely restaurant to toast our birthdays. We loved the white tablecloths the soft music and the beautiful view. Our waitress was delightful and we were impressed with the pictures of the food. The lobster bisque was delicious with lots of lobster. We also enjoyed our salads and were totally satisfied and too full for dessert. Our lunch at Bob Appetit truly made our birthday celebration.

    My wife and I dined here this Saturday evening. We were pleased that we got to sit near the windows for a lovely sunset view, but that was about it. First of all, the entire area is so cramped that we felt like we were a part of the conversations of the three tables surrounding us. We also had a major issue with service. Simone was our waiter. Our first interaction was him coming around with the bread platter. He looked at my wife and myself and said, “you look like you never turn down bread!” Admittedly, we aren’t small people, but we have never had it verbally called out at a meal, and it was a very awkward moment for Simone when he realized we understood what he was saying. We ordered a round of cocktails and our starters. Never once were we told about the lobster specials, which is a shame. We love lobster and would have happily ordered it if we had known. Simone pressured us to put in our entree order immediately. We felt as if we were being pushed out. Maybe it’s because we like to frequent the Black Pearl when we visit Dunedin, but I was not impressed. Our first round of drinks was lovely, but when my wife ordered a second white linen cocktail, what was brought to her was something full of sweet and sour mix. Holding my glass up to hers, mine was clear and hers was yellow. We were able to get a replacement, but it was still subpar. Our starters were pretty good- the escargot and onion soup. We were rushed through those for our entree, and when those came we weren’t impressed. When Simone came to check on us and asked how it was my wife said “It’s…” and before she could finish he responded with, “excellent!” And walked away. At this point it was obvious we were just trying to be pushed out the door. We were rushed and when asked, totally steamrolled. At the point of finishing our meals my wife suggested our typical bottle of port to share over a desert. I was done. We asked for our check and we’re given some electric device where we paid and tipped.

    I recommend the whole lobster, grouper and the mojitos. I wouldn't recommend the special Kona ribeye. I wasn't a fan of the ground coffee coating, and it was boneless. My particular steak wasn't too flavorful on the inside compared to some other bone-in ribeye steaks.

    The whole experience was awesome! Our waiter, Manu was fantastic. We started our dinner with the mussels, the sauce was amazing. I am gluten sensitive so couldn’t eat the accompanying bread, next time will ask for a spoon because that sauce cannot be wasted! My husband had the Dover sole and he was very pleased. I had the scallops, they were perfectly cooked and no grit whatsoever. We ended the night with a crème brûlée, it was fantastic, creamy and perfectly cooked as well. We were lucky to have a window seat and enjoyed the beautiful sunset. We will definitely return again!

    This was a food and wine event, and it was well planned and executed. The food and wine pairing could have used a bit more refinement. The food was good and well prepared but the sauces that came with the dish was almost sweet. This created a clash with the wine as they were not pairing well with those sauces. This of course is all to taste, but it seemed this way to both me and my wife.

    We had a table of 8. My friend ordered stir-fry ($42) and due to the noise level or lack of hearing of our waiter, received steak and lobster dinner ($94). We waited so long for our food that she went ahead and kept it taking the $50 hit so she could eat with all of us. My SO ordered the lobster roll. It came on a thin piece of bread and was served with blueberries, melon, and cucumber slices. What a weird mixture for a side item and not worth the $36 price tag. I ordered the octopus appetizer. It was ok... I've had better. I also ordered the Greek salad for my main course. The feta was dry, the potato salad was sweet, and overall, I've had better salads at McDonalds. To drink I had a lemon drop martini that was tasteless. The sunset was beautiful, but the noise level, lack of service, and mediocre food will keep us from ever returning. We live in Dunedin and this used to be a favorite spot. No longer.
