Crown and Bull

This is a locals favorite! The outdoor patio is whimsical. The management and staff are friendly and top notch! But beyond all that, the food is absolutely amazing! Locally sourced and premium ingredients that include gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options. Every bite is bursting with flavors!

Crown & Bull is a fantastic spot with a welcoming atmosphere, delicious food, and a beautiful outdoor patio that's perfect for a relaxing meal. Every dish was fresh, well prepared, and full of flavor, and the live music added a great touch without taking away from the dining experience. The service was friendly and attentive, making the whole visit even more enjoyable. Whether you're stopping by for brunch, lunch, or dinner, this is a great place for a memorable meal in Dunedin. I'll definitely be back.

I had high hopes coming in. After visiting a couple of places which didn't meet our expectations, I suggested we hit Crown and Bull, based on previous reviews. We walk in to a fairly large space with different dining areas (indoors and out). The decor seemed a bit disjointed with fake alligator skin covering the seats in the booths on the dining area, across from cheap looking aluminum bar stools in front of a bar with TVs and a hideous neon blue backlight that clashed with the rest of the place. The service is mostly very young people concerned about their phones more than the customers. We ordered two cocktails which were priced at premium level. I ordered a pasta dish and a side salad, My wife got the same pasta dish. Our whole order came out ten minutes after ordering (not a good sign...is it reheated?). The pasta was barely warm and it had no shine, no aroma, no steam...like it was just out of the microwave. We had to wait a while before anyone acknowledged us in order to get our food reheated. When it came back, it was warmer but not hot. Our server, who was way underdressed, spoke so low that I had to ask her to repeat herself ever time. When it was time to pay, our server showed me the total on her little tablet, took my card, and asked me to sign...then walked away without giving me a receipt. When I asked for a receipt, it was like I was bothering her. This place isn't going to last...IMO. 🤷

The fried chicken Sandwich was tasty so was the Thai slaw. The menu is confusing though it had a steakhouse vibe inside and outside but has an Asian and Mediterranean menu. Prices are high as well. The truffle fries tasted like plastic to me maybe my taste buds were off for the day had a funky smell and not of truffle.

The food was excellent and the appetizer were spot on. The pistachio clams were delicious and the lump crab toast was awesome. We had the 12 oz filled that my grandson loved and ate it all. My stepdaughter and myself had the seabass. It was delicious too. My wife had the lemon pan seared salmon. My son in law had the 12oz Riley. He really enjoyed it. The martini drinks were strong but just right. The server did an excellent job and checked on us several times. The tiramusu dessert was delicious they stated. We will definitely be back and the live music was great too. It was well worth the price, great quality food.
