    Duval’s has been recommended to me for a while now. Today was my first visit. We had lunch but will be back for dinner. Rachel was our server & she was well versed in the menu & most attentive without being pushy. We’re from the New Orleans area so both my wife & I ordered oyster po-boys. They did not disappoint. A great sandwich with perfectly fried oysters, dressed on a fresh crispy baguette & delicious sauce. The manager, Kelly, stopped at our table to insure we were enjoying our lunch. All-in-all a great experience.

    Second visit, this time for the set menu on Christmas Day. A wide selection was available, including a halibut special. The lobster bisque was excellent, as was the duck a l’orange. The latter was better than the usual dish, since the sauce was served on the side, leaving the skin crispy, but the inside tender and moist. The halibut was also very good. In both cases, the portion size was very generous. Overall, an excellent experience and great value.

    I have been dining at various Melting Pot establishments for over 25 years and the Sarasota location did not disappoint. The atmosphere, food and service were outstanding as always. The four course fondue for two was perfect for us: cheese, salad, entree and chocolate!

    I hadn’t been here for a few years and was happy to see that it’s just as good as it’s always been. Three of us enjoyed delicious meals. The Parmesan beignets were amazing! One in our group raved about the mushroom soup. Also – I always recommend getting their homemade ice cream for dessert.
