- DDennisVIPNew York City •11 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe had a great dinner. My wife and I started with soup NE clam chowder and lobster bisque both of which were excellent. We both enjoyed the Duval Seafood Sampler. Lobster tail, shrimp and seafood, spinach and roasted potatoes. This is a great dish for shell fish lovers. I highly recommend Duval’s.
