    Sat outside at lunch at Duval's. A very pleasant experience -- delicious food, excellent service from Raechel, and very reasonable prices. Lots of good stuff on the menu to choose from. I had the Shrimp Po-Boy 1/2 sandwich and chowder, quite the bargain at $13.50. My wife enjoyed her grill shrimp, too. Quiet setting outside. Only negative: $14.50 for a Vodka Gimlet. We will definitely go back, but, skip the cocktail.

    I have been dining at various Melting Pot establishments for over 25 years and the Sarasota location did not disappoint. The atmosphere, food and service were outstanding as always. The four course fondue for two was perfect for us: cheese, salad, entree and chocolate!

    I have lunch at Connor’s at least once a month. I view it as a combination of excellent food and reasonable prices. I’m particularly fond of their half price happy hour. It’s pretty easy to have a delicious meal and a beer for $20. That’s hard to find these days. Today our server was Frank and he couldn’t have been more attentive. He let us take our time before before ordering, checked if we needed anything during the meal and then wrapped up leftovers for us. If you haven’t gone already, treat yourself to lunch at Connor’s and I think you’ll be happy.
