    Going to DUVAL for the first time was a real treat....the folks, all of them were down home, and real friendly.....we didn't have to wait to be seated, and the restaurant was 'buzzing', and of course we had a reservation thru OPEN TABLE. We had drinks, time to enjoy them, appetizers, and then the 'special' was 'grouper' grilled for my wife, and I had it seared......and it was amazing. Being from FL and going to an unlimited number of other 'seafood' places, I have to say that DUVAL stands out on top for their 'chefs' special treatments, and not spoiling the taste of the fish, which was very fresh, served with a medley of vegetables, and rice. The portion was just right, and we would highly recommend this place to others.....We did not have a 'dessert' as both of us were 'stuffed', but maybe next time. Enjoy.

    Great dining experience. Their unique Caesar salad is a must! Scallops were cooked to perfection as well as the swordfish. The Andean rack of lamb was delicious. It's a fun place to dine with friends. Find the cozy private room off the lounge in the back for great happy hour offerings.
