Best Seasonal Restaurants in Sarasota

Always a fun family experience us. I especially appreciate all the gluten free options and how knowledgeable the staff is about them. It is also nice that the managers are visible and actively helping assist the servers. Although we miss having a Melting Pot in St. Petersburg, this one is worth the drive.

Everything was beautiful. Our server Katie is the best.

Duval’s has been recommended to me for a while now. Today was my first visit. We had lunch but will be back for dinner. Rachel was our server & she was well versed in the menu & most attentive without being pushy. We’re from the New Orleans area so both my wife & I ordered oyster po-boys. They did not disappoint. A great sandwich with perfectly fried oysters, dressed on a fresh crispy baguette & delicious sauce. The manager, Kelly, stopped at our table to insure we were enjoying our lunch. All-in-all a great experience.

The service and food were excellent. We’ll be back. Only suggestion would be to table bread.

Second visit, this time for the set menu on Christmas Day. A wide selection was available, including a halibut special. The lobster bisque was excellent, as was the duck a l’orange. The latter was better than the usual dish, since the sauce was served on the side, leaving the skin crispy, but the inside tender and moist. The halibut was also very good. In both cases, the portion size was very generous. Overall, an excellent experience and great value.
