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 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.

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.

There was a little bit of a wait, so my husband and I went to the bar to grab a drink as our group was big. Bar staff were super fast getting a drink. Staff was very friendly. Once we sat down, service was efficient and amazing. The complementary fish dip was really good and everything that we ordered was fresh. As always, we over ordered and I took back half of our food to the timeshare and reheated the next day and it was still just as good . wish we could have gotten there for a second time. The only regret was we had to sit outside in the 95° weather in August but since we also live in Florida, we just put up with it. Great spot

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.

For less than $50, I got 1 lb of snow crab, 1 lb of blue crab, potatoes, corn, bottled water, and fried rice.

There were 3 single diners (including myself) dining-in while I was there. So I wasn't the only one to satiate a crab craving solo! There were a bunch of people who got their orders to-go also. They are running a special for 10% off orders over $20 through June 30, 2026. Come visit this awesome place!

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.
