    Our Duval’s experience was excellent, the best I’ve had. Our service was excellent with attention to dietary restrictions. Food was superb—excellent grouper cooked perfectly and served very hot. Chocolate flourless cake was special! We’ll be back.

    We do eat at Duval's with some frequency. We like the appetizers and often make a meal eating the Lobster Bisque, Wedge Salad, and the Caribbean shrimp and crab cakes. The servers are terrific. This visit we had Jesse and Toli stopped by to say hello before we left.
