On-street parking was ample nearby. Menu had MANY options. Food was great. Service (Carlos) was courteous and very prompt. Carlos was knowledgable about the menu. Prices were very reasonable. Noise level was acceptable even for this 81 year old with bad hearing. Nothing not to like and a VERY pleasant evening! Will keep coming back.

We really like Duval's. We got there just before the end of Happy Hour and our server, Jen, volunteered to keep our 2nd glasses of Chardonnay in the chiller for us until we were ready for them. What a great deal -- Happy Hour prices paid for Happy Hour wine ordered before 6:00 but consumed later. Since Swordfish was not on the Fresh Catch menu (and I love the way Duval's does Swordfish), we decided to share a few appetizers. Always a good choice and always delish. It was a delightful night dining outside in their Parklet. We are so happy that Sarasota voted to continue to allow them even after the COVID-19 pandemic ended.
