    Swordfish risotto dish
    John G.

    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.

    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

    The outside patio
    John C.

    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!

    Strip steak
    Catt A.

    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!

    Venice Beach Sunset

    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!!!

    Great times at Fin's!

    We so enjoyed our lunch as usual! But it was really great because of Hannah! She is so professional and friendly!

    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!

    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.

    Every steak I've had from here I say to myself, "That's the best I've ever had!"

    A beautiful atmosphere ocean front and AMAZING food. 10/10 Teddy took great care of us and treated us like family. This is the perfect place to celebrate or go to for a guaranteed amazing meal.

    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.

    Smoked Ribeye
    Pam C.

    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.

    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.

After golf we prefer the bar rather than the main dining room. Their bar menu has shrimp tacos, beef Wellington, mussels and ahi tuna and many other upscale meals. We do miss the live music in the lounge. Sigh. Folks if you want a fantastic meal this is where you need to go. The main dining room has a fantastic menu which includes steakhouse fare and one or two seafood dishes. The lounge has an upscale bar menu. All in all I have no idea why it was so easy to get in. I'm guessing that many Floridians were up north for the holidays.

We didn't have a reservation but were seated promptly in about 10 minutes. This must be a popular place for celebrations as we were asked by 3 different people, literally every employee we interacted with, if we were celebrating anything...tonight we were just celebrating dinner! I was prepared to splurge and spend any amount of money tonight. Started with a couple of old fashioned drinks. They had an impressive Bourbon menu, however...They didn't have the Blantons Gold, didn't have the regular Blantons, No Eagle Rare, only had enough Four Roses for one, it was hard to get anything special as the actual selection was limited. We ordered the $22 Bacon wrapped scallop appetizer and were disappointed to only get 3 very small scallops. They were good but we expected more for the price. How do 2 people split 3 tiny scallops? They came on a bed of spinach, which I enjoyed. I ordered the 11oz strip steak with blue cheese crust which was cooked as ordered and tasted fine. Nothing special, but a decent steak. My wife enjoyed the pink snapper however, she ordered rice and it came with potato wedges instead. Our server was very nice and was attentive. However the second round of drinks took too long to come to the table. Like 15 minutes too long. Our meal with appetizers and drinks and tip was around $200. We will definitely come back and I might even try their all you can eat bbq option. Maybe I'll be celebrating something...

Food was all great (Ribeye, Shrimp alfredo, Jumbo shrimp, Salmon special and ofcourse my cheeseburger with green beans.
