    Burger

    Came here for lunch on a weekday, seated immediately although the restaurant was bustling. Bright, airy dining room, just the right temperature. We split the beet salad and goat cheese BLT. Both were very tasty and enjoyable. My teenager had his usual, a burger and he liked it a lot. Service was attentive and helpful, our food came out quickly, prices were reasonable. Would return and try brunch next time.

    The rating should be much higher. Our waitress was attentive and courteous. Prices are better than their competitors. Everything we ordered was delicious. We all over ate. Chocolate martini was great. The best dish was the fettuccine with grilled chicken. Asian salad, chicken parm and Cajun pasta- all good.

    Ham & Cheese Omelet, Crab Cake Benedict, mimosa.

    I had high hopes for this restaurant. I noticed it on my last trip to Dunedin and put it on my list of places to try. Unfortunately, it just wasn't my cup of tea. It was pricey for what it was. The ambiance wasn't anything special. It was a bit chaotic. No clear leader to run the floor. My server seemed annoyed and I attribute that to the lack of support. And then the food was mid at best. No good flavors and honestly bland. I wish that this had been a different experience. With that all being said, we were there for brunch so I can't speak to their lunch/dinner. That might be a better experience.

    We stopped by Cafe Alfresco today for lunch and it was a lovely experience. Walking in, we were warmly greeted and offered our choice of seating. The entire staff was friendly and I could definitely tell that this is a place that is big with the locals because of the interactions I witnessed. The inside of the restaurant was clean and a great place to sit and people watch with great views of the street. Our meal was prepared quickly, accurately and was delicious. Our server Shyanne took really great care of us. Fun fact, this is the first restaurant we've ever eaten at that has an electronic menu, it was a tablet that had the menu and all of the items had pictures. Very cool and easy to use. My only regret is that I didn't have room for dessert because there was a cooler full of beautiful looking desserts and the chocolate mousse was really calling to me, along with a few other items. If you're in Dunedin, I'd recommend Cafe Alfresco. We really enjoyed our meal and will be back.

    Nestled in the sleepy little downtown of Dunedin is the gem of a restaurant, it's definitely has an Italian slant to the menu but surprisingly offers a good variety of other dishes too. Portions are very generous: service is warm and welcoming and our food was brought out in a very timely manner. Our waiter advised us on options and helped to make our decisions. The menu is presented in iPad format. The ambience is nice with some seating at the small bar area, an interior dining area, a conservatory dining and some al fresco dining. I would definitely eat here again!

    Food is always devine. Service is top notch, Cooper was at the bar today and she is always on her game. Aesthetics better than most. Returning back to the office.

    Well, going to the craft fair in Dunedin and we happen to stop in this lovely restaurant. Of course there was a grumpy man at the door, which just added to the ambience. The food was incredible. We both had the Greek salad with the salmon on top which was delicious and the raspberry tea, which was amazing. this place is quite lovely and I definitely want to come back. Our server was very efficient and friendly.

    We've walked past here mid-day, and tonight we found out why. We were seated right away on a Tuesday night and got in our drink orders. They came out quickly and we out in our food orders. Drink prices are very reasonable, and they have a good wine selection and a full bar. Rolls are offered, and come out hot and fresh. For dinner? My wife got the Bean Soup. It had big chunks of potato, along with the beans and other veggies. A bowl was a good meal for her. I got the Chicken Piccata. It was delicious! Creamy lemon caper sauce with nicely pan fried chicken and a heap of pasta. There is indoor and outdoor seating, and if you're indoors there is a lot of glass to see the trail and street. Service by Dan was great as well!

My husband had the soup, I can't remember the name but one they always have, and it was so delicious. I had the tomato salad and it was perfect. The dressing served with the tomato salad was so good. Last but not least their key lime pie is the best we have had anywhere, ever!!!! Sorry we didn't get pictures but we were too consumed in the moments to mess with our phones. We will be back!!!

    Definitely a five star experience and we will be back…read more Parking in the lot in front is quite small, but there is a lot of parking around the area that's free. On the website they list out parking lots, so I would recommend checking that out. We ended up parking at a parking garage that was a couple minutes walk from the restaurant. Also, pro tip thanks Yelp, they do accept reservations. You have to look on OpenTable, though, I don't feel like I saw it on their website. We were there at 7 PM on Saturday and even without a reservation we would've gotten a table. However, it is on the smaller side if you want to sit inside, they do have a back patio. I saw a reserve sign on our table, so they definitely honor Reservations. I got hogarita which is their version of a margarita. It was good. My husband got an old-fashioned and liked it. The food is where this place really shines. I got hogfish grilled with their veggie of the day and key lime slaw. My husband got their salmon grilled with veggie of the day and hush puppies. The hush puppies are exceptional. I usually avoid carbs and I'm sure this one is really bad for you, but it was absolutely delicious. My husband, who normally isn't a huge fish eater liked his salmon. We both agreed, though that my hog fish was better. The hog fish was flaky and tender, a very mild tasting fish, but absolutely amazing. 10 out of 10 on this dish. This place is pretty casual, it feels very down to earth with really good food. Service was attentive and quick, we will be back.
