    Awesome happy hour ( Fins frenzy) at Fins at Sharkys this week. I came in right at 4pm and the bar was full already, managed to get the last spot. Bartender Lindsay was spot on taking care of multiple patrons at the same time. I had Coral head ipa , Jose Cuervo margarita w touch of mango flavor, 3 sea mist oysters from RI, nice and plump, great presentation, duck empanadas ($8) for 2 w mango salsa, pork bao buns ($8) , fluffy and flavorful, Pisces roll ($8) . Everything was quite delicious and came out quick. Before and after this stop , I spent time at the beach and walking the Pier. What an amazing day indeed. I shall return there soon!

    Some kind of chicken cordon blu / cheese with side salad.  (I can't remember day later)  it was good according to friend

    Update: February 15, 2026 - 4 for lunch Had our friends from NY/LI down. VERY blustery day. We haven't been here or Sharkey's for a few years. It was packed in season. We got a variety of lunch sandwiches, salads, sides and I got a tofu sushi plate with seaweed salad the I REALLY enjoyed!!! The tuna topped salad with avocado was fresh and fantastic piece of fish. A blackened maybe grouper or mahi mahi was reported also very nice. Rolls were fresh and firm. A chicken with cheese / cordon blue looked nice and was reported as very good. The place was packed and the service was still awesome. The food timely and well prepared. The place clean and tableware and glassware spotless. Really great job. We will be coming back a little more often I think with friends down visiting and for sure on the off season when its quiet.

    Our complimentary birthday dessert!

    Fins at Sharkys is on the upper level of Sharkys. The view was gorgeous! Our reservations were for 430pm so we could see the beach and the ocean view for sunset. Breathtaking! Seafood, chops & sushi in airy, modern surroundings with coastal decor, and deck seating. Our waiter was Benny, who was so friendly and courteous and accommodated a birthday dessert once our meal was done. Food was delicious! And I would go back.

    We were seated on the patio at a table with a beautiful view. Our server Britany was super helpful and got out drinks to us while we decided on what to eat. We started with the Fresh burrata cheese, prosciutto, cherry tomato confit, olive tapenade, sundried tomato pesto, toasted pine nuts, balsamic glaze, focaccia crostini, micro basil, olive oil - we could have used a few more crostini. We then ordered the Beet and Shrimp salad and a half dozen raw oysters from the New England area. The oysters we clean and full of flavor. The salad was a wonderful combination of ingredients, which together, were bursting with flavor. The goat cheese was not over powering and the beets with the mandarin oranges added a nice touch. This was not a cheap lunch, but I guess we were also paying for the view. We will be back next time we are in Venice Beach. Tasty Travels!

    Lovely view

    What a beautiful venue! We got patio seating on a beautiful spring day and had 5-star service from Sean. He did a great job at describing options and specials. The food and cocktails were great. The ambience was worth every penny! My grilled mahi sandwich was good and I enjoyed the champagne slaw. My friends had a rainbow roll and the fish and chips. Everything was great. Definitely recommend

    This is probably my favorite restaurant in the area. My children and I love sharkys on a great beach day, but Fins is another level of delicious. We started off with one of their excellent cocktails and the charcuterie. The pairings were exceptional, down to the truffle honey and fig jam. Then we were treated to their bread service. I ordered the cobia and my husband the strip steak. Everything was cooked perfectly. During this time, I was slightly chilly and the manager brought me a blanket. The server also ran to get me a cup of hot coffee. We ended the meal with coffees and the sticky toffee pudding. We were not rushed, we were able to take our time, and the service and atmosphere was perfect. I highly recommend checking out fins for an elevated experience.

    Chardonnay our server was very good, helpful yet discrete. She knew right when to bring everything from coffee to chowder to our entrees. My tuna was excellent and my friend enjoyed her chicken topped salad. The best of all was our seafood chowder we shared! So yummy!!! Perfect combo of fish, potatoes, and broth.

    Always love this place. We usually eat up in Finn's, but tonight we decided to not make a reservation and eat down here. They played music, we walked along the pier for sunset, and the drinks/food were great. Alex, our waitor was also great. Overall, great night for a little bit colder of a night!

    Great anniversary dinner for mom and dad! I so appreciate the staff who made it a special night for them . Happy 49! Calamari, corvina with crab & scallops were a hit!

    Lobster seafood paella - tasty.
    Kate H.

    A month later, and I'm still thinking about our amazing dinner at Fin's, including the wonderful, attentive service from Kaylee and the charming atmosphere. We had quite the spread of oysters, sushi and lobster seafood paella. The sushi rolls were my favorite - and the passionfruit mojito was so delicious I had to order two. Will definitely be back!

    Our visit was great. We made a same day reservation. We arrived 15 mins early and were accommodated. The booth was slightly on my bigger belly the sweet host adjusted the table for me. The waitress was training and they both were great. The food came out perfect and we had a great time.

    The best place to enjoy a family dinner while watching the sunset. Amy was absolutely amazing with her service to our table and she didn't miss a beat.

    Husband and wife vow renewal dinner. What section would be best to make reservations?

    Outside deck.

    Do they take reservations for dinner?

    Yes

    What's the difference between Finns at Sharkeys and Sharkeys? Would Finns be suitable for a nice anniversary dinner?

    Fins is a higher class dining experience, Sharky's is more casual. Romantic dates, anniversary's and birthdays are best celebrated in Fin's Restaurant. Food and service is a little more expensive, but worth it.

We love the Indian place a few doors away so when this came up on a Yelp search I figured I would drive over from Lake of the Woods/Jacaranda West area and pick it up. By the time I made the trip I did not expect the food to be kitchen hot and fresh: my review is not about that. I suspect to make things even more challenging, they told me it would be ready in 35 to 45 minutes.....and I was there in 30. I think it had been sitting already for a bit...the place was FULL with people waiting. There were 4 drivers in queue for Door Dash and Uber Eats I suspect. We got the Chicken Satay as a common item, which my wife really enjoyed, the chicken was tender and properly cooked. Sauce and seasoning very nice. 8/10 We got the white rice. i am NOT a fan of white or basmati rice or any white rice for that matter, even brown is suspect with arsenic and chemicals and processing and packaging issue. But I would have gone for brown but that seems to be NOT an option here???? My wife selected the Spicey Basil Shrimp which was also nicely prepared and a healthy variety of vegetables lightly cooked and seasoned, a very nice job. The shrimp seemed a good product and not too scary (smile). She could not finish it and is taking it to work/school tomorrow. 8/10 My daughter rolled with the House Fried Rice with double egg but no meat/chicken. She really enjoyed this and this is here "test" entree. So simple and yet when its poor......you really know it!! Hats off this gets a 9/10 I got the Garden Vegetable Fried Tofu. This has a nice wide array of vegetables nicely firm but amply cooked. The sauce was also very nice. The tofu was cubed and fried on all sides but perfectly done and not greasy and oil charred blocks or rubber. Good tofu product!! I really enjoyed this! I will order this ON SITE when we dine in just to see how much better it will be kitchen to table fresh and hot!! 10/10 So for take out, this was pretty good. 10x better i am sure freshly served and not sitting on a shelf and in a plastic bag.... then driven 20 more minutes to the house..... great job Star Thai & Sushi. Till we meet again to dine in..... Good job!

Fairly open at 5:30 pm on a Sunday....... PACKED and folks waiting by 6 PM!!!!! Clean (brand new restaurant) and plenty of parking, however we walked over from d/t Wellen Park. Not packed, but we still had to wait for server. We did have to flag her down multiple times and ESPEICALLY as the rest of her tables filled up. I got a tofu ginger soup that was awesome. I coudl (well actually now I can't) rattle off all the rolls and items we got. I got vegan/veggie vegetable aspargus and avacado and etc rolls............ each and every one was prepared perfectly, and presented fantastically and had fresh and delectable ingredients. I have had a bit of sashimiand sushi in my 45 plus years of international and domestic travel and living in NYC/LI. As well I worked for a Japanese company for 10 years......... this was VERY well done and my top spot in the Sarasota to North Port corridor and thankfully 6 miles from my home..... my wife works a mile away!!!!!! As a restaurant amongst over 150 I have tagged they are also top ranking with me. Sadly I will never be able to get in there as they are already busting at the seams and when YOU read this you are going to make it worse (smile) That is okay, ENJOY and Bon Appétit ..... or meshiagare.

I popped in there with my 10 year old daughter today for a late lunch. The place was completely empty and appears to be mainly a take out place now although there are several booths. I told the young lady behind the counter that we were eating in so she brought us a menu as we sat down. I walked up to the counter to place our order of miso soup, California roll, and hibachi style steak udon. The soup & roll came out almost instantly served in take out containers complete with lids on and flimsy plastic cutlery. It seems to me that if there are multiple booths for eat in customers there should be regular serving dishes and utensils available for those diners. The miso soup had a strange flavor like it had absorbed the smell of a refrigerator IYKYK. The rice on the California roll was dry and crunchy on top as if it had been rolled hours earlier and left uncovered in a fridge to dry out. After a few minutes my udon appeared also in a covered take out container with a cheap flimsy plastic fork. I ordered it "habach" style so I expected that lovely browness you get from sautéing on a very hot flat top. There was none of that. The "steak" was gray and impossible to chew, most likely some cheap cut of roast that if treated properly might have passed for steak but as prepared was just cubes of grey tough flavorless muscle. The vegetables of carrots, broccoli, cabbage, and zucchini were cooked to mush with not a hint of seared flavor. The noodles were gummy and pasty and whatever small amount of sauce was at the bottom and watery and bland, didn't cling to the ingredients at all. I added a ton of soy sauce to try to enhance what little flavor there was but even that didn't do much. When the cashier approached to ask how everything was I, very nicely I promise, explained some of the issues. All she was interested in was telling me that everything was fresh not reused from yesterday and that I was wrong about my assessment. She offered no refund or remake although a remake wouldn't have been accepted anyways. I ate a few bites of the noodles because I was starving but we threw everything else out. We will not be back and I cannot recommend.
