    We were a group of 8 on a sat night. Food was excellant and service attentive. Douglas, our waiter, kept us happy and answered all our questions. Food was wonderful. Grouper, mahi-mahi, seared ahi, mussels, and crabcakes. Also calamari, along with two desserts. Overall, perfect. Highly recommend. We were placed near the back, so things were nicely quiet. Thanks Duval.

    We dined on the outside - the street tables set up to accommodate all the Valentines diners and it worked out perfectly. Although very busy we were waited on by David reasonably fast. The food was fantastic. With all the activity in Sarasota we joked we got dinner and a show (some pedestrians were quite amusing) at HP Always a treat and never disappointed ❤️

    This remains our absolute favorite restaurant anywhere in the world. We had Tuna trio, Seabass, mousse in chocolate shell and my husband had paella. Every bite was scrumptious with the best flavoring. Our pear and Manhattan martinis were also fabulous. The waiter was beyond the best as we celebrated year 55 of engagement. He recognized it, had a card and rose for us and a free dessert. What a wonderful dining experience.

    Really great food selection here. We sat outside and we were there early enough for half priced wine which was great. Service was nice, but I think our server was a little young and shy. Didn’t really provide a lot of details, but was still a very nice server. I’m probably being overly picky with that. Highly recommend! We will be back.🔙
