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.

    We were really looking forward to dining at Owen's Fish Camp, but unfortunately our experience was…read moreincredibly disappointing. Our party of 10 waited nearly two hours for the only table that could accommodate us. We understood the wait and didn't expect special treatment, but what was frustrating was the complete lack of communication or problem-solving from the staff while much of the inside dining area appeared to be sitting empty. Once we were finally seated, things only got worse. We waited another 30 minutes without a single server acknowledging our table. No one greeted us, brought water, or even let us know someone would be with us shortly. After going back to the hostess stand to ask if someone could please assist us, we still received no service. After waiting over two and a half hours between the wait for a table and the lack of service, our entire party made the difficult decision to leave without eating. We understand that restaurants have busy nights, and delays happen. What was most disappointing wasn't the wait itself, it was the lack of communication, urgency, and customer service. We hope management takes this feedback seriously because no guests should have this experience.

We were fortunate to find a few empty seats and enjoy a drink. The bartender was friendly and quick to make drinks. The overall atmosphere is sleek and clean. We were warmly greeted and given a nice table. The restaurant is fairly small, but it's nice that you can actually carry on a conversation without a lot of background noise. Our server was quick to introduce himself and take our drink orders. The menu is a bit limited, which makes sense for the size of restaurant, but the choices are good. We were given some nice warm bread with butter, which was very good. Although there were lots of good appetizers and soup and salads, my appetite isn't huge so I settled on the shrimp and half lobster tail scampi. My entree arrived timely and looked amazing. Everything was hot and I couldn't wait to dig in. The lobster and shrimp were cooked perfectly and the sauce was exceptional. I totally enjoyed my meal. Our server was wonderful. He checked on us often, but was not intrusive. I would definitely return.

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.

I was seated right away asked for glass of Ice cold water. Those FL summers are brutal. The Staff was very friendly and answered all my questions.

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!

I was seated right away and intrigued by the menu, a combination for all seafood lovers is there, and since I moved here from the Washington, DC area, when I saw blue crabs as a choice, I jumped on adding that to my order. I ordered the "Feeling Crabby" boil, and figured I would be waiting a while, but that was not the case, my food arrived in less than 5 minutes, and it was HUGE. I dove right in, adhering to my long lost dad's rule of "Eat the expensive stuff first"- he would tell me and my 5 siblings that on the rare occasion that we ate out- so I went right for the blue crab. This was the only disappointing part of my whole visit. The blue crabs are tiny, like half the size of the palm of your hand, and I had never seen any that small. Back in Northern VA and MD, these would be illegal to keep, and there was literally no meat to be taken from them, so that was a letdown, so I moved on to the shrimp, which, with the Mr. & Mrs. Crab Special seasoning, was fantastic. I had no plans to eat the other stuff if I got full, but I love food and this was too good to stop now, so I forged on, trooper that I am. The sausage was quite possibly the best part of the show, it was so good that I couldn't get enough of it. The potatoes were soaked in seasoning and awesome, the corn was great, too. Man, this had me licking my lips the entire meal. Now I've been back a few more times and I prefer to make my own boil- shrimp, scallops, clams, and of course, sausage. It's a great dish and I eat every bit of it. The service is always good, and I've seen them handle difficult customers a couple of times- some customers are never pleased no matter what you do, but the staff handles them well. My only wish is that they had something besides chicken tenders to offer the non-seafood lovers. I want this because my wife doesn't like seafood and there is nothing else for her to eat there, heck, a fried chicken sandwich would do, so I can't go to this place unless my wife has other plans, which is a bummer.

Our table ordered a couple of dishes: chicken and waffles, southern fried chicken, shrimp fried rice, and the hitman. The water tasted like it came straight from the water fountain outside the restaurant. Chicken was overly breaded and salty, and the corn cake was sour. I also don't know how they managed to dry out dark meat. The waffle was semi burnt. The shrimp "fried rice" was soggy, vinegary, almost sushi rice like texture, and shrimp was heavily salted. The hitman smashed burger... the hitman probably killed people with the insane amount of salt on the plate. See the theme? Lighten up on the salt unless you're trying to give your customers clogged arteries. Extremely disappointing considering all the great reviews we saw before going.

I foresee myself craving this in the future and being sad I live in Orlando and can't even Door Dash. I really enjoyed the Crab Cake Eggs Benedict too - though some of my crab had a little fishy taste, but most of it was perfect. The Meyer-lemon hollandaise was creamy, light and just enough citrus flavor. Love it being served on soft foccacia bread with perfectly poached eggs. Service was fantastic! Our server "Erica" was amazing. She made great recommendations and even made a fresh pot of coffee for me, Including an iced version of it to go along with my husband's iced tea.
