    My only regret is that I don’t live closer so that I could experience this fabulous restaurant more often. Glenda took great care of us, and we sat outside on a beautiful night. I highly recommend the scallops, Caesar salad, the tuna entree and the skirt steak with plantains. This was a special anniversary for us, and the dessert- a chocolate confection of mousse with a hard chocolate shell- was divine. Thank you, Selva, for a memorable evening!

    Our table ordered ribeyes, sea bass, and a filet. They were all prepared exactly as ordered, and delicious! But it’s really the service that makes this place special. The staff are friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about their entire menu including wines. Sit at a booth and enjoy your evening!

    The service was outstanding, and remarkable, due to the specifics of this particular night. Our group was at Bavaro's in Sarasota during a busy holiday week, and on a night when the restaurant was a little understaffed, yet filled to capacity with patrons. Even the food met the standard that we have come to expect from Bavaro's. I tip my hat to you Bavaro's.

    Duvals is one of the best restaurants in Sarasota for selection of seafood dishes. They're prepared perfectly. We've never been disappointed with our meals. One great feature Duvals offers is a complimentary shuttle that offers door to door service. It's especially convenient when downtown parking spaces are hard to find.
