Duvals Fresh. Local. Seafood. - Sarasota (FL)

5 /5 Vanessa: The candied bacon old fashioned’s are the bomb! Highly recommend trying one if you are a bourbon fan. We went during the week so it was easy to get a bar seat. The weekend can be a challenge at night. The bar tender was very attentive and the food was great.

5 /5 Lina M: I’m visiting Sarasota for the first time on a work trip and decided to take a walk around the area. I started heading to a sushi spot, but right next to it I noticed Duval with signs saying “#1” and “Best Seafood,” so I decided to give it a try instead. As soon as I walked in, the host was so friendly and welcoming and seated me outside. My server Jennifer was the absolute sweetest. She made great recommendations and treated me like a regular even though it was my first visit. The food was beyond delicious. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. I’m so glad I stumbled upon this place. Definitely worth visiting if you’re in Sarasota.

4 /5 Mayi Barov: Really enjoyed our time at Duvall’s in Sarasota. Our waiter was so nice and welcoming. The margarita and cosmopolitan were both great, and the seafood was fresh and delicious. The place has a really nice vibe inside and outside, relaxed but still elegant. I’d definitely come back.

5 /5 Lindsay V: We had an incredible meal at Duvals and I cant wait to return in the future! The team at Duvals was friendly and personable, and made every effort to ensure that we had a great experience, including a phone call the next day to ensure we were completely satisfied (we were!) We made reservations, and were in on a Friday evening. The restaurant and bar area were both busy but it never felt loud. The atmosphere is relaxed but very nice. Our server, McKenzie, was amazing! She was attentive, friendly, knew all the answers to our questions, helped guide us through our dining experience perfectly. All of the food was really great - highlights from our table were the calamari and the grouper, the sides were great too - spinach and sweet potato fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned. All this was followed by the bread pudding (wow!) and the gluten free blueberry cheesecake. I have to say that I almost didnt order the GF blueberry cheesecake but im SO glad I did - the best GF dessert Ive had in a long while! I highly recommend adding Duvals to your rotation of downtown restaurants, or trying it for a special occasion. We are so glad we did!

4 /5 Shane M: Stopped here because I was craving seafood. I did not have reservations so we had to eat outside. (Not a big deal but on certain days this could be a deal breaker). I started with a drink reccomended by waitress and then they ended up coming back and saying they where out of coconut puree. So I changed to a blujito. It was good but very very very minty. For appetizers I ordered the muscles and they were good. I probably would not order them again. For entree i got the Grouper which i had never had and I thought it was really good! The wife did the fish and chips and the fish/breading was cooked amazing but... it had no flavor. So bland. If you didnt get starter sauce there would have been no flavor. Overall it was good food but I would not go out of my way to eat here. If you are close then it would be nice place to stop
