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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

We are locals but visited Fins for only our second time in early August for my birthday. And wow...yes five stars this time for two main reasons. So we did 3 sushi rolls again. Similar to last time it was a great amount of food for us to share, and we actually took 8 pieces home with us. They were spectacular and we enjoyed every bite. Reason one of two for me for my 5 star rating was our server. I wish I'd remember her name (she didn't have a name tag on), but she handled my gluten-free needs soooo wonderfully. She checked with the kitchen on the sushi rolls, made sure I had GF soy sauce, and in general made me feel at home, being taken care of, instead of an annoyance. The second reason for my 5-star review was the dessert. Oh. My. Goodness. It was coconut flan. Not just gluten free but also dairy free (I try to minimize my dairy intake best as possible). I couldn't believe it!!! The GF/DF combo for a dessert is nearly unheard of at restaurants. On top of that, it was SO GOOD. This was such a memorable, special treat for me. I was literally in heaven because it's so rare I get to enjoy a dessert like this. Thank you Fins for the very memorable bday dinner this year! read more

We went to Fin's for Mother's Day this year. Our server was very attentive. He actually is from the area of NY where we lived before moving to Florida. The food was delicious as well as the dessert. We sat outside near the the wall and had a beautiful view of the water and pier. The Gulf breeze was perfect. We will visit again soon. read more

On April 28 we went to Fin's with a dear friend for dinner. We had an incredible evening. Lance showed us to a beautiful table which was outside over looking the beach and Venice Pier. Our waiter Benny was fantastic! One if the best servers we have ever had. Funny , knowledgeable and just fantastic. Our dinners were incredible. Service impeccable... and the sunset one of the best!!! A memorable evening with a great friend and my husband!!! read more

All food was good, oyster selection very good, calamari is one of our favorites. Filet was cooked very well, could have used a sauce. Asparagus was way overcooked. 2nd dish scallops were very good but accompanying vegetables were not a favorite. Service was a little invisible towards the end. Will go again probably after season. Captains room was very noisy from large table. read more

We had drinks at the bar while our table was being cleared. Appetizer was three kinds of oysters,all good. My husband had the surf and turf and I had the cobia. Loved the ambiance and ocean views. Highly recommend! read more

I had such a great time here. Pia and Shawn were our servers and they made everything so easy and fun with their tips and recommendations. I highly recommend making a reservation, even during the week. We went on a Tuesday night, and if we hadn't booked that morning on Resy, we would have been lucky to get a spot at the bar, which is super classy but still. We sat on the patio during sunset, and it was absolutely perfect. The oyster selection was plentiful with four different kinds, my favorite being the Bluepoints. The beet salad was delicious and I could have had more beets but it was super fresh and the orange vinaigrette was fantastic. The stone crab was not only in season, but literally caught in the Gulf right outside the restaurant. Even though it was just two pieces, it was the freshest I've ever had. This is also the kind of place where you can ask for a dirty martini with blue cheese olives or an espresso martini the way you like it, and they actually get it right. Our total was around $250 for two people, but it was totally worth it for the food, drinks, and service. I will definitely be back soon. read more

After hearing so much about Fin's, I finally made it there for dinner. My group sat outside which was perfectly comfortable with the heaters. We started with the Lobster Potato Nachos, which disappeared quickly. The waffle cut and size of these Yukon potatoes made this appetizer unique. We were served bread with 4 different spreads. I liked the lemon butter spread the best. Husband and I shared the 16oz smoked ribeye. Please tell me where to purchase this delicious jerk rub! Also the smokiness of the steak sang through. The only disappointment was that the steak was on the medium side and we asked for medium rare. Our friend's steak was also 3ish minutes overcooked. Our server made up for it by comping 2 desserts. Definitely want to return for the sunset and to try seafood here. read more

My new favorite restaurant! Was going to be in Venice for Christmas and was planning my proposal to my fiancé. Looked everywhere for the best restaurant to have a nice dinner and be able to get to the beach. Fins at Sharkys checked all the boxes. When I called and spoke with the manager Scott and Events coordinator Emily, they were so thoughtful and helpful with the process. They made sure everything and everyone in our party was taken care of. They gave us Lizzy as our server and it was the perfect choice. She set a great mood, timed everything out, and make sure everyone loved the food. Incredible experience for us, and we can't wait to keep coming back here! read more

9/10- Service was great. Our server was patient while our group looked over and decided what we wanted. I ordered the demkota elite filet mignon medium rare and while it came out a little more rare than I like, it was still delicious. Our youngest daughter loved it as well and opted to help me eat it over her kids meal slider cheeseburger. I was pleased to find out the seasonal vegetables were brussel sprouts. The beer battered shrimp were slightly sweet. My picky teen ordered the coconut shrimp tempura and said it was the best he has ever eaten. The dessert though-- do not skip. We ordered three different ones and they were melt in your mouth perfection. The kids meals come with ice cream as well- which is nice in case you don't want to share your dessert. The view from the outside patio is stunning. The shades were nice but once lifted, you could feel the breeze as well. I will say- our family came directly from the beach. While we were somewhat underdressed (girls in loose dresses [NOT beach dresses] and boys in tshirts and khaki shorts) and had a couple bags with us, we had planned on eating there as we came from out of town and were visiting my mother. Someone- possibly not from their own staff (had a blackshirt with white logo on right chest instead of a blue shirt with Fins logo on left chest?) told us as we were walking in that this was an upscale restaurant and that I was in the wrong place. My mother was waiting for us upstairs just right around the corner and it caused a huge delay as we turned around, walked back down the stairs, around to Sharkys, up to their patio and then met two nice servers who apologized for his behavior because I was clearly frustrated at that point that I couldn't find my mother who had reserved a table... at Fins. While I was originally flustered by this, our server, the food, and the rest of the experience made up for it and we ended the evening with a beautiful sunset and left with smiles on our faces. read more

After 8 months of missing Fins, I returned and although it's only been 8 months it was still just as good all around. The service, the food and atmosphere are so good. Our server Amy, was so great and patient when it came to making decisions. Our table was at the window which if it were during the sunset would've made the visit well over 5 stars. Plus as usual the food and beverages were amazing. We started with martinis, margaritas and one n/a beverage. All were so delicious. Next came a charcuterie board and all the meats and cheeses were unique especially the sage/cheddar. Bonus, all the extras on the board; walnuts, fig spread, honey and olives, were great accompaniments. Then the maki rolls; surf and turf, crab rangoon and rainbow rolls were so big and filling. If you aren't too hungry or have a smaller appetite, split one with someone else. Dessert was the seasonal pumpkin flan and it was so smooth and had the best marshmallow fluff topped with peppitas. If you're going there this fall try it. Yum! read more

We usually have a great experience here when my friend is in town for a visit. We usually go for the sushi rolls and oysters Rockefeller as an appetizer which was overcooked and spinach topping almost burnt. Salad ordered as well which was not received. Sushi was excellent. Atmosphere is great. Server was not attentive and had to wait for drink replacements as well. read more

We went for lunch and were very charmed by the beautiful space and the great view of the pier and beach. We were similarly charmed with the waitstaff as well - our server was excellent, attentive and friendly. The food was outstanding as well - the lobster potato nachos were tremendous, and was the best single bite of food I had during the whole week in the area. They also have a full sushi bar, and what they're putting out from that is great as well. There are two complaints and they're both fairly minor. The first is that they had trouble seating us for our reservation. We got there early, and still weren't seated until about ten minutes after our time, despite the place not being full. The second is that the pricing is a tad high for what you get. You are, of course, paying for ambiance as much as anything, but the sushi rolls are well north of $20. Overall, a strong recommendation! read more

First impression after walking in, I realized that a 3pm reservation was still considered lunch, and I wanted surf-n-turf for my birthday dinner. The hostess was able to bump us out 1/2 hour. Yay! Queue our outstanding server, Sandy and we are ready for an amazing meal. She was so good to explain the uniqueness of the grill. Too bad my short term memory sucks. I digress. The foccacia with four compound butters is the perfect start. That, with some of the best seafood bisque with chunks of lobster, crab, etc.. sporting a subtle smokiness from the bacon and small pieces of chorizo. So good! The crab cakes were very good according to my wife. My main is the rib-eye, grilled over their in house mega grill and mesquite charcoal. I am upgrading with a lobster tail cuz it's my birthday! HB2ME!! Wow! Thanks for such a great birthday dinner. Next time we're in Venice, we'll be back!! read more

View, weather, table on the screened porch absolutely perfect!! We spend our winters here, and wanted our guests to have a nice lunch on the water. Took 3 guests there for lunch today. Everyone seemed happy with their sushi meals. Shared a starter of Oysters Rockefeller. Varied opinions on that. My husband and I asked if it was possible to split the paella. Sounded like a lot of food for lunch and it truly was. The waitress said yes, of course, many people do that. All good. Paella includes 1/2 lobster tail, scallops, shrimp, clams, mussels, catch of the day, with saffron rice, peas, and cute little peppers along with pea shoots I believe. It was a very good meal and more than enough for the two of us. The only thing is the lobster was totally hammered (rubber bands) and the mussels and clams were almost as bad. Loved the saffron rice, peas, peppers, pea shoots. Scallops were luscious. Perfect. Service was okay. Barely saw our waitress. Would we go back??? Definitely!! Over & over. It almost seems like lunch is a training period for staff and chefs. Still seems so worth it to be able to converse with friends in a beautiful atmosphere even if the food has some glitches. Miss going to Sharkies, frankly, but after so many years got tired of the wait for a table and joyfully welcome same views with a reserved table & less hubbub. The strangest thing to me is our grandkids like Fins better than Sharkies. Generation gap for sure. But they all love that pier. We're lucky to have this great diverse venue here. read more

Did the happy hour drinks and small plates--very busy place right on the beach amazing views indoors and out. Seating is very specific and limited for happy hour-so i guess patience is required.

I totally recommend if you're looking for a nice snack and a great view. read more
