    Came here for our anniversary. The air conditioner was out. Rather than call to cancel our reservation, they gladly took our money. Food was good. Not great, but good. For the money, would have expected the air conditioner to work - or for them to offer a reschedule or even a discount.

    We are very sorry about tonight! We didn't realize the air was going out until about 530 or so and by that time the dining room was full of guests. Meanwhile on the back end we were frantically trying to get someone to come out to fix it but out of the 6 companies we use, no one could come out until the morning. If you decide to join us again we will happily make it up to you. Sorry for your experience tonight

    Went here recently to celebrate my mother’s birthday. The service and food were wonderful! The sommelier was able to recommend some great wine pairings. The chef cooks everything to order and in a timely manner. Very great and would recommend to anyone stopping by Dunedin looking for a great meal.

    Having such a great restaurant blocks away in Dunedin is tremendous. A fine dining experience with superb service, wines, and chef inspired dishes. Wonderful dinner!

    Some of the best food I have had anywhere and certainly the best I have had in Florida, including top rated places in both Tampa and St. Petersburg.

    The service is great as always. The duck and grouper were subpar. the 20% service charge was very unexpected and not necessary for the pricing that was already very high.

    Overall, the experience is great as always. The service is fantastic, Dan who has been our waiter each time is outstanding. The food was good especially the carrot bisque and roasted oysters. Wine and pistachio crème brûlée were to die for.
