RESTORATIVE – American
Chef-owned fine dining in Dunedin from husband-and-wife team Jason and Erin 'Cricket' Borajkiewicz, running an ever-changing small menu since 2017 around an open kitchen. Florida sourcing rules the plates — Theo's Harvest produce, Seminole Bee Farms honey, Fort McCoy grass-fed beef — from chef's-counter seats or the intimate dining room, with Tampa Bay Times top-30 honors and a Creative Loafing number-one behind it. It suits tasting-minded dates, counter-seat kitchen watchers, seasonal-menu loyalists, and diners who book to feel restored, as promised. The no-fixed-menu policy makes every reservation a small act of trust, consistently repaid.
