    I have eaten at Duval’s numerous times. The food & service has always been great. They have had a lot of improvements happening inside & out which have made the dining experience even better.

    Although the food was good I felt it was over priced. 2 entrees, 1 soup, 1 salad & 2 cocktails with tip was $200. The white cloth table top did not match the environment. Very loud, very casual, food was served super quick; we felt we were being rushed out. Disappointing.

    My wife and I had lunch here the day before yesterday. We met two friends from out of town who were at the restaurant for their first time. Service was generally poor. Never came by to refill waters etc. I ordered chowder (which may be the best thing on the menu) in addition to a salad with grouper. The salad came but no chowder. I had to find my server and then ask for the remainder of my meal to be delivered. The fish on my salad was lukewarm and somewhat gray looking. I had to hunt for the bleu cheese that was supposed to be in the salad and my overall grade on the meal would be something like a C- or D+. Not what I expected from a store with their reputation. Interestingly I received a call yesterday from someone at the restaurant asking about my experience the day before. I told him I had put my 90 year old mother on hold to take his call and asked that he call me back because I definitely wanted to discuss my experience. I never got a call back. Originally I never intended to review my experience there, but after the phone call I decided to. I would strongly recommend going somewhere else to dine.

    Given it’s high rank (#3 in Sarasota) and boasting “Best Seafood in Sararsota for 9 years!” We had high expectations. I was very impressed with the hostess and we were accommodated quickly despite being very early. The food was slightly above average. Don’t get me wrong, everything we ate was very good, but nothing blew us away. The drinks were average at best. Our server was definitely the weak link. He did not check on us during our meal, ask if we would like a 2nd cocktail or offer to refill our water. He did not tell us what fresh fish was available or offer any suggestions. He spent a great deal of time at the host stand, presumably waiting for the table of 6 that eventually was seated next to us. But they sat down as we were leaving, so he had ample opportunities to check on us.
