We could not have been happier with our experience!!
We had been to Bon Appetit last December for a birthday dinner and were very impressed with the food, service and atmosphere there. When we were deciding on a venue for our downsized wedding, Bon Appetit is who Theresa and I settled on quickly.
Theresa talked to Nancy Williams and viewed the available venues that BA offered. Even once we said that we didn’t want to use one of the upstairs rooms, having decided on just an intimate family dinner, Nancy worked with us to set up the perfect ceremony.
On the day of our ceremony, Nancy had a beautifully decorated arch set up for us outside, right on the water. There were water and champagne stations set up, and our host Alberto kept the glasses full, even having non-alcoholic champagne available for the guests, if they so chose. The weather, location and views were perfect!
After the ceremony, we all went inside to our table, and immediately, our waiter Alessandro, began to take our drink orders. They arrived, and we all ordered. As we found previously, the food at Bon Appetit was amazing. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed what they ordered. Conversation was easy, even though the piano was being played (quite well) right at the end of our table. The volume was perfect. Alessandro was extremely attentive without being overbearing, and Nancy checked in with me several times to make sure that everything was as expected. It was. All in all, a perfect evening.
I have no doubt that Nancy and her staff will put the same care and pride into your event as well. Do yourself a favor, and give Bon Appetit in Dunedin consideration for your wedding or family event. I can’t see you being anything less than extremely pleased with how it turns out!

Perfect Venue
Nancy and Bon Appetit went above and beyond with service and detail. Food was delicious and the service was great. I even caught one of the servers dancing at one point. We had a lot of fun and glad they did too😃

Above & Beyond Expectations
Absolutely Amazing!!! We are so thankful to have booked our wedding venue at Bon Appetit, they exceeded every expectation. They were always great at communication, Leslie & Nancy would answer every phone call and email within the HOUR and always put our minds at ease with any questions we had. The staff were all so friendly during our reception, making it feel effortless and so enjoyable. The venue was decorated beautifully, they paid attention to every detail, and could tell they treated it with the most importance. Our family raved about how delicious the food was, and how courteous the bartenders were. The list goes on & on... I would recommend Bon Appetit to anyone and know that they will go above & beyond!
Bon Appetit is a Tampa Bay treasure. Located on the gorgeous waters of St. Joseph Sound the scenery cannot be matched. With being a wedding photographer in the area for nearly 20 years I've been more and more impressed with the staff at Bon Appetit as the years go by. They have little to no turn over. It is a well oiled machine with amazing food, service and ambience.
The first question about any venue should be about the quality of the staff. At Bon Appetit, theirs is a team of veteran servers and bartenders using a fine dining approach that leaves every guest pampered. Throw in some of the finest waterside views in the area & 5 star menu offerings and you've got an experience your friends and family will hearken back to for years to come!
Bon Appetit is such a fantastic wedding location!! We have worked with them for over a decade and they always take such great care of their Brides! Highly recommended!!!
