The Restorative - Dunedin

My wife and I feel so fortunate. We are able to enjoy an extraordinary meal within 5 minutes of our home. The Restorative is a real gift of a restaurant. Menu is limited, or rather concentrated, to a few amazing dishes. Yet the menu changes every few days. We enjoy the freshest ingredients and the most creative application of those ingredients. The kitchen is open, visible from the bar and the tables. The wait staff is perfectly attentive and the feel of the place is friendly and intimate. We always feel welcomed and valued as guests. God bless the folks that bring us this food, and these perfect evenings enjoying the best food in the Tampa Bay Area.

Never disappoints! We love to sit at the bar and watch the chef do his magic. The menu is consistently evolving, always creative and the freshest ingredients make for a vibrant display. If you’re a foodie you must swing by. We recommend a reservation and honoring it!!

I've had the pleasure of dining twice at The Restorative over the past year, and both experiences have been absolutely amazing. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, balancing flavor with artful presentation. The service was excellent and the dining room has a fun vibe with zero pretension. It has become one of my Dunedin favorites.

After wanting to dine here for years, we finally got to go and had a wonderful dining experience. The food was superb, unique, and memorable! Cricket was wonderful and kept the atmosphere perfectly relaxing for 2 exhausted parents looking for respite even if just for a meal. We will definitely be back and will recommend to everyone we know. Also, get 3 servings of the curry butter and Naan! Absolutely phenom!

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 crème brûlée, get two. It’s absurdly good.
