Duvals Fresh not so much. Seafood seemed to be reheated. I had the Bouillabaisse and other than the piece of fish it was all overcooked. Wont return.
Duval's Fresh. Local. Seafood.Responded on September 25, 2022Nina, I would like to personally apologize we failed to meet and exceed your expectations when you dined with us last night. We take great pride in sourcing the freshest seafood the market has to offer. I'm glad Mark was able to make the situation right for you, and I have already coached the cook on the Bouillabaisse station on where his mistake was made, and how to ensure it does not happen again. I look forward to seeing you on your next visit. Jonathan VanDyke General Manager

Made a reservation for my fathers 70th birthday but I forgot to mention a member of our party would need a wheelchair accessible table and they went above and beyond to accommodate us in every way. I was impressed by the food, service, and atmosphere of the restaurant. The staff even went so far as to put a birthday card on the table for my dad which made the experience even more friendly and welcoming. The food was as fresh as could be and very reasonably priced. 10/10 in every category. Would recommend the calamari appetizer to anyone. Our waiter Anatoly was awesome, polite, friendly, and prompt. We didn’t have to ask for anything he made sure whatever we needed was brought out before it was even thought of.

Beautiful restaurant. Nice ambiance. The service was wonderful. The food was fresh and delicious. Would like a couple more small plate fresh fish options. Like the sesame crusted tuna as an app or a tuna tartare or a salmon something. Otherwise yum and we will go back.

Visited Sarasota to celebrate our anniversary and was rewarded with a wonderful dining experience at Duval's. I googled best seafood restaurants in Sarasota and Duval's had great ratings. When we arrived, a Happy Anniversary card was waiting for us at our table. Service was attentive and efficient by Anatoliy and the food was delicious! The lobster bisque was divine, creamy and laced with sherry. I had the ocean scampi with a light garlic wine lemon and butter sauce. My bread accidentally slipped in my bowl a couple times to absorb some of the sauce it was so yummy. My husband had the surf and turf cobb salad which he found quite filling. Dessert was complimentary and we shared the honeybell cake which was light and sinfully delicious. What a treat to visit Duval's. We look forward to visiting again!

Very happy with our third visit to this restaurant. Had the Monday lunch special of crab and shrimp cake served open face on marbled rye with lettuce tomato and remoulade. Side of crispy fries made this an excellent value at $10. My husband had a burger/fry Labor Day special that included a beer for $11.99. Cooked perfectly, right-sized burger; husband was very pleased. We received some attention from the manager which made us feel important to the business. Fresh white tablecloths and attractive decor added to the pleasant dining experience.

The bisque was fair, chowder was better. Kettle chips were not kettle chips but Ruffles brand, I believe, and they were stale. Service person brought me a different side as a replacement. Our sandwiches were both very tasty although the French baguette seemed out of place for the oyster poboy. And made it difficult to eat as a sandwich, in my opinion. The Monday sandwich (shrimp and crab melt) as I mentioned was very tasty, but I expected more chunks of meat in the patty. French fries were exceptional. Service was excellent.

Very knowledgeable and attentive waitstaff. She recommended the specia of the night and I was not disappointed. Seared tilefish with lemon butter. I didn’t think it was overpriced either for being a special. Two of us with a drink each, appetizer and dessert was barely over $100.

We had a very enjoyable evening and dinner. The service was outstanding and the food was delicious. They surprised me with a Birthday dessert which was very nice. We will definitely be back.

This was our first time dining here & it was top notch in every way! The seafood bouillabaisse was full of the freshest seafood and the fennel flavored broth added so much to the dish. Our server was attentive & friendly, which also added to the overall experience! We are not in Sarasota often, but will make it a point to dine here every time we are!!!

We had such an amazing experience. The service was excellent and the food was amazing. The vibes were very light, fresh, and busy but we never felt forgotten or under-served. The perfect place for a nice dinner out with your partner or friends and family!
