Tried to drink and eat there several times and hostess is never easy to work with. Went tonight with our dog, asked for a seat in the shade (there were two long tables in the shade, but the host told me there was no tables. When I said we would have to go somewhere else then, he said ok go somewhere else. I guess they would rather have empty seats then paying customers.
We absolutely love this place and cannot wait to return.First off your hostess Hola is AMAZING as she showed us around the whole place and was just so pleasant. Then there is Parker our server who was also excellent!As for the ambiance / atmosphere we love it and when it comes to the food, everything was so delicious.We had the deviled eggs, Brussels, yucca fries, fried dumplings and Cesar salad with blackened salmon and everything was great!Excellent work to you and your team
This is a pretty cool place that is VERY DOG FRIENDLY! The location is great, the selection of food & drinks is pretty good & everything was pretty tasty. I will say however that my dog’s food looked even better than mine! My appetizer was very good, but quite small for the price. On the flip side however, my dog received a huge bowl of pan seared salmon & rice with parsley for half the price of my appetizer & yes I did sneak a taste & yes it was delicious! LOL! If you want a great place to dine with friends & spoil your fur baby at the same time, then look no further! The Living Room on Main is perfect!
Great drinks & Food and outside atmosphere!!
Excellent food selection and taste great vibe
We ate lunch here twice and dinner once. The level of service is quite high and the food even better. There were 3 of us and everyone raved about how delicious the food was. My favorite was the Tuna Poke. You also must try the white truffle Parmesan fries. Entries are as good as the appetizers and sharables. We always ate outside but the inside looks inviting. We are definitely going back nest time we are in Dunedin. NOTE: A 20% surcharge is added to the bill with the explanation that all of the staff is paid a "living wage". Tips are accepted but not "encouraged". We tipped an additional amount because the service is exceptional.
This was our first time here and while we enjoyed the two dishes we shared, there are a few things you should be aware of for a first time visit. 1. The Korean BBQ Lettuce Wraps - We were surprised when they came out and they were prepared on romaine lettuce leaves, three of them, not a soft tortilla type wrap like the Tuna Club Wrap has. Afterwards, we double checked the menu and it does indeed state "lettuce wraps" however our assumption was that they would be "wrapped" in a tortilla along with the BBQ, lettuce and other ingredients. That was our mistake. 2. After realizing our mistake, we really did like the Korean wraps, but after seeing the small amount of ingredients on each of the three lettuce leaves, $22 is way too much money for what you get. 3. The Tuna Club Wrap, in a flour wrap, was extremely good and well worth the $15 considering the large size of the wrap, abundant filling and it came with a choice of side dish. 4. Considering downtown Dunedin attracts a lot of tourists especially this time of year along with the snowbirds, drink prices were extremely reasonable. A very large, tall Bloody Mary was only $6 and a well brand Margarita $5. 5. The biggest surprise came with the check; an automatic 20% Service Charge. It was accompanied with a placard explaining that it was to provide a living wage not to just their servers but the "back end" employees. While we commend management for such an initiative, inform your customers upfront!!!! No where on the menu is it mentioned or on their web site (at least I could not find it in either place). It does state on the placard that you can question the charge if you do not feel you received good service but, of course, that creates a very awkward situation for the customer. Also, since the 20% is now being shared between servers and all the employees that work in the kitchen, it would seem to us that the money the servers would have earned before in direct Tips is now being spread among more people making the server's take home pay less. Management....why not just pay your kitchen staff a fair wage and let the servers earn their tips based on the service they provide? While the food was good, we will not be returning because of their Service Charge policy. We prefer to tip according to the level of service we have received and in most cases we tip more than 20%. But let us, the consumer, be the judge.
Excellent food and drinks! Our server Joe was amazing! We were there for our anniversary and had a great time.For appetizers we had deviled eggs and fried dumplings - both tasty.I had the osso bucco and it was delicious. The veggie stir fry was great. For dessert we had a blackberry creme brulee that was amazing.We'll definitely be back.
Flavors were amazing. I had the salmon Benedict, and Gouda grits.Service was spot on, and Alexander did a wonderful job. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Dunedin
I recently visited Dunedin and was anxious to eat some scallps. My risotto was totally undercooked....stuck in my teeth like gum. I NEVER complain yet this was not edible and in addition to that, it was served cold! Was given another batch of risotto, this time warm. It was plopped on a side dish without the arugula and crisp strips looked totally unappetizing. I was expected to add my cold scallops to this mess. $31 for 4 small scallops and I expect quality. Not there. Deffinitely do not order this dish!
