    Outstanding meal and the service was excellent!! Doug "our server" did an outstanding job to make sure we were taken care of! He was very professional and knowledgeable about all the entree's. Our fish was extremely fresh and wonderful! We had a wonderful birthday celebration for my wife. She was very happy with the food and service. I would highly recommend Duval's to anyone that wants top quality fresh fish from professional staff.

    Was disappointed that one of the three main entrees for Savor Sarasota was not available for our lunch at 11:30. Was told that the kitchen had not prepared the beef in advance. Thought that odd since it had been a standard offering for the month.

    We visited for our one-year anniversary and were thoroughly impressed. My wife had the ocean scampi and I ordered the swordfish—both dishes were absolutely exceptional. The food was superb, and the service was equally impressive. We’ll definitely return the next time we’re in Florida.
