This place rocks and it’s great to have some very nice restaurants away from Dunedin downtown on the main road. Super good food very good portions and flavors we will be back for sure this was top notch! Started with the home made Nan bread where we added the whipped ricotta and Nduja butter really really nice. Then we ordered the scallops and the burrata which were to die for and lastly we finished with the halibut and the wagyu steak likewise amazing. Desserts were great too honestly nothing else to say this place is amazing!!

Another amazing dinner. Since they have a new menu weekly, every time we go it’s a new experience, but as always, everything was great. The chef does an amazing job combining so many different flavors that you don’t expect to work, but they just do. The pasta dishes are a great new addition that they started doing. Also, I see some people don’t like that the cooking prep space is open to the dining area, but that’s really part of the atmosphere. The bar seating puts you right next to the chef and you can talk to the staff and see things being prepped. It’s part of the vibe. Also, I love that the location is a very unassuming shopping plaza, makes it feel more unassuming and under the radar.

My daughter and daughter-in-law took me here for my 75th birthday. Tucked away in a little strip mall is this absolutely AMAZING gastronomical experience! Normally when I go out to eat at a nice place I am able to "reverse engineer" the food so that I can make it myself at home. Even if I could have done so, I wouldn't even want to try. They have a way of combining ingredients, flavors, and textures that is just extraordinary. It was an experience and treat to remember.

One of Florida's hidden gems - one the greatest restaurant experiences I have ever had. A romantic fine dining experience hidden in a Dunedin strip mall. Words don't do it justice - you need to try it out - at least once!

My family has been going to the Restorative for years and we’ve always considered it one of the best restaurants in Clearwater/Dunedin if not the best. But the last couple times have been so good that that I felt compelled to write a five star review on the food. Last night our family of four had dinner there and ordered every item on the menu and every item was so good. The savory creme brulee with crab salad was just out of this world good. The tuna tartare left me wanting much more. The Icelandic cod was perfectly cooked and topped with delectable shimeji mushrooms. The desserts were fabulous including the best home made mint ice cream. If you haven’t been for a while, highly recommend trying The Restorative again newly.

Had a wonderful, wonderful experience at the restorative. The food was absolutely divine; imaginative and creative, while still being approachable and appealing looking, everything was beyond incredible. The techniques, the ingredients, and the pure skill made eating at the restorative not just consumption, but an event in and of itself. Beyond good. If they have the Parmesan creme brulee, get two. It’s absurdly good.
