We had about a 30 minute wait for first available table. We sat at the bar & each had a drink. The drinks were good, but nothing special. We were seated outside in a screened in porch. It wasn't bad at first as they had fans on, but then the air outside settled & it became hot. Next time we'll know to eat inside or wait for a cooler night. DH ordered the Blackened Scamp with Smashed Parsley Potatoes and Black Eyed Peas. He was extremely happy with his meal. He said the Scamp was cooked to perfection and seasoning was a compliment to the flavor of the fish. The mashed and peas were delicious too. His plate was clean when he was done. For me, I was happy with my selection of seared Tile fish. I had never heard of Tile fish so I didn't know what to expect. It was wonderful. Flaky and seasoned just right. My sides were the Smashed Parsley Potatoes and Garlicky Green Beans. Both we delicious. We were both happy with everything and we're looking forward to coming back to try other menu items.

I ordered the lump crab cake with spiced lemon remoulade. It was packed with fresh crab with very little filler. Delicious! We also tried Duval's award winning shrimp signature Po' Boy served on a baguette with napa cabbage, tomato, and chipotle remoulade. It was outstanding! The clam chowder was rich, creamy and one of the best I've had outside of New England. The restaurant is beautiful, the seafood is off the boat fresh, and the people who work there truly make the experience special. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Duval's to anyone looking for exceptional seafood and genuine hospitality!

Kelly D. reached out via a review platform but when I actually reached out and wrote to her email,…read moreshe never bothered to reply to my experience at all. Recently, I was invited to a company lunch last week with my law firm and I politely declined because of that lack of care. The rub: Jennifer was kind and full of grace while we had issues with our meal. The food was sub par unfortunately and did not taste great. We picked this restaurant for the great reviews and wanted to celebrate our anniversary but Duval's disappointed. The Calamari was not fresh, it was very chewy and every piece was tough as boots. It was difficult to eat as an appetizer. My girls steak was ordered medium rare, looked like it was more medium when cut into. It certainly needed the demi glaze because it was not seasoned at all, flavorless and a very dry filet. I ordered the lobster Mac and cheese. Half a tail and somehow I swallowed a piece of shell that was mixed into the pasta and got lodged in my throat. All in all, disappointed with the food. We continued to eat as it was the only resource we had and wanted to not let it spoil the night. The best thing was our server and the Bonanza cab.

Once again I struck gold at Walt's Fish Market/Restaurant. A day trip to Sarasota with the g/f and…read morea quick check of Yelp was all it took. The exterior very Tiki looking. The interior, a mixture of fish shack and fish market. Brittany, was our server. Very good at her job. Fast and decisive. When the girlfriend's fries were cold, we told Brittany. No defensiveness, just a quick fix and a smile. The difference between a good experience and an awkward one. First time I've had fish dip. It came complimentary as an appetizer. Very good. I'd have that anytime. I'm a convert. I had a shrimp Po' Boy and my girlfriend, the grouper Reuben sandwich. I could wholeheartedly recommend either. It was a very tasty visit. I commend Walt's and will be back.

My parents raved about Walt's and how wonderfully fresh it is, and we were excited to try. We were brought some smoked white fish spread to start out. I am not huge on smoked fish spreads but I did really enjoy it. We got the ceviche and hush puppies to start. I wouldn't get the ceviche again (shrimp and some white fish I don't remember), but the hush puppies were very interesting and we did enjoy them. For my entree I got the snow crab legs with the recommended seasoning. This was a great move. I loved the crab and with the seasoning it came with I didn't feel like I needed to use a ton of butter. My husband got the triple tail, being one of the day's featured fish. We weren't in love with it, but it was our first time trying triple tail so maybe we could've gotten something else. The atmosphere is great, with the fish market right there in the restaurant. There's a nice waiting area with bar access where you can even get some appetizers. The staff was cool and attentive. Would definitely come back to dine or shop!

Aesthetically is low light, very romantic, fancy, I loved it! We were seated and immediately serviced which I thought was great, depending the tables around you it can get pretty loud. We ordered the vegetable roll, parm truffle fries, truffle Mac & cheese (no lobster) and the Cesar salad. - I ordered the mocktail bee squeeze which is basically a lemonade with honey, unfortunately I did not like this too much, the honey after taste was weird. 0/10 - Mac & Cheese was creamy. And cooked really well, no overpowering of flavors overall 10/10 (shareable) - Parm truffle fries - HUGE fries, not sure how they cut the potatoes this big lol but they were massive. Cooked really well & the cheese was fresh. (Shareable) 7/10 - Cesar salad - so good, I loved the Cesar dressing and the parm crunchy cheese on top. - veggie roll - this was interesting to me as I expected a different kind of normal roll lol with nori etc. but this was refreshing, light and delicious. Can def share this too it was a big roll with 12 pieces. 10/10 I ordered the warm butter cake and it was delicious the ice cream on top of the warm cake, the tang from the raspberry syrup. 10/10!!! I would return again and hopefully have a more attentive server and hopefully everyone can get the same top level service as well.
