Restaurants near Marietta Museum Art Whimsy

The service from the front dest to the servers was exceptionally smooth and pleasant. Food was delicious. Not inexpensive but there were high quality items on the menu that one could escape to if the other choices were out of range.

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.

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.

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!

This restaurant has been open 3 days but it runs smoothly. We sat outside on the upper deck and had a lovely view of a courtyard, surrounded by high rise condos, and a large canal that opened out onto the Sarasota Bay. I had the 8 oz filet mignon (extremely tender and flavorful). My husband had the blackened snapper and found it delicious as well. Everything we ordered was excellent (wedge salad, onion soup, whipped potatoes and chocolate peanut butter pie with Ethiopian French press coffee). My. Old Fashioned was very good as well. My husband ordered a non-alcoholic beer which they had run out of but someone ran to the store and got him one without delay. Brendan was our waiter and he couldn't have been more attentive. All the staff was top-notch. We will be back, especially when we have guests who are steak lovers!
