    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.

    The outside patio

    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.

    CHAZ 51 -- 5 Stars Only Because They Won't Let Me Give 1,000…read more My wife and I were recommended to try Chaz 51, and let me tell you... this restaurant is only getting 5 stars because that's the highest option available. If it were up to me, they'd get 1,000. The reviews and pictures already had our expectations high, but somehow the actual experience still EXCEEDED the hype. We spent a year living in Texas, experiencing some of the best food in the country. When we moved back to Florida, a lot of our dining experiences felt underwhelming and overpriced... UNTIL we came across Chaz 51. They start you off with this incredibly soft, delicious bread while you wait for your appetizer. Everything is made fresh, so trust me when I say it's well worth the wait. And before I even get to the food -- the sweet tea was ON POINT. I had the French onion soup, while my wife and niece had salads. Needless to say, those were gone in seconds. We were damn near licking the plates and bowls. Like I said, everything is made fresh, so when your food comes out, that plate is PIPING HOT. Our server warned me -- but my wife knows how quickly I forget things. Now let's talk about this steak. I'm a SAUCE GUY. I ordered blue cheese and A1 sauce on the side because that's just what I do. After my first bite, I felt DISRESPECTFUL for even asking for extra sauce. NEVER -- and I mean NEVER -- in my life have I had a steak this well-seasoned and cooked this perfectly. There was absolutely no fat or gristle, and all 14 ounces were DEVOURed. I didn't touch the A1. I didn't need the blue cheese. The steak needed absolutely NOTHING. Normally, I save enough room to try some of my wife's food, but even if I wanted to this time, she wasn't leaving me anything. I looked over and she was already about 80% through her meal. I didn't even get the chance to ask my usual question, "Are you going to finish that?" because I already knew the answer. Then I look over at my niece, and her eyes are WIDE because the ribs were practically the size of her. She had no idea what she had gotten herself into. Our server was incredibly attentive throughout the entire experience. At the end of the meal, she asked what we wanted for dessert. I was STUFFED, but I really wanted that cheesecake. I had eaten so much and was so satisfied that I just didn't have the space. So the three of us decided to split a crème brûlée instead -- and even that was incredible. What really took the experience to another level was the chef actually coming out of the kitchen and speaking with everyone in the restaurant to personally ask how everything was. That small gesture made the entire experience feel much more personal and showed how much they genuinely care about the food they serve and the people eating it. Then, after speaking with his wife, who also runs the business with him, I found out he had been a head chef at Ruth's Chris for over 25 YEARS. Suddenly, everything made sense. Safe to say, we've found our new regular spot. Whenever family comes into town, whenever friends ask me, "Where should we go for REALLY good food?" -- my answer is going to be Chaz 51. It was only about a 30-minute drive from where we live in Sarasota, and it was EASILY worth the trip. Honestly, if it were two hours away, I'd still make the drive. I'm extremely happy we found a new place to dine, and now I feel personally obligated to work my way through the entire menu. My only regret from the whole experience? I DIDN'T GET THE CHEESECAKE. But there's always next time -- and there WILL be a next time. Chaz 51, you've officially earned some regulars.

First up - PARKING was awesome!!! we parked in their lot and had plenty of choices. yay. Second - When I had made a reservation for our special occasion I was asked "Inside or Outside" which I picked Inside. I was then ASKED "window table?" to which I happily confirmed yes that would be great. I then confirmed to my wife. 6PM, Inside, & Window seating. When I arrived I was quizzed if I had a reservation. Yes. Then I was asked did i want to dine Inside or Outside and I replied I had confirmed an Inside, window reservation. And he brought us to our inside aisle non-window table. When I asked why not a window as I confirmed - I was informed they only give them out when they are available and he can't guarantee it? I then asked "Why do you ask then when the reservation is made?" He just walked away. Probably not a good candidate for a public or customer facing role. As others have stated (and I in my first review) the staff and server experience here is highly variable. 1/10 Third - Our server was excellent and gregarious. we were seated well over 5 minutes until we able to tender a drink order, but then everything went very smoothly. The bus staff seems "nervous" and inexperienced, I had to ask twice for more water. The bread and butter was a little disappointing. one of the rolls was ok, the other either old, stale or did not sustain the heating process very well - inedible. There were two flatbread crackers in the basket as well. 3/10 Fourth - We both got a cup of seafood bisque soup. This was a smooth and flavorful soup. Chunks of seafood of various types and a little shot of sherry on the side to pour on. (my 10 year AA medal pushed it away - smile) 9/10 My wife ordered a Pompano special with scallops and the chef special vegetables and green beans. This was very substantive entree and she did bring half of it home. The fish was nicely prepared and properly cooked, the vegetables were cooked al dente and not just something on the plate - good job. The green beans so nice as a vegetarian / vegan plant based eater I am going to order them as my entree! 9/10 I ordered a shrimp cocktail as part of my main. I haven't had shrimp in a few years, and these were fairly decent. the cocktail sauce was disappointing as I am a Kelchner's horseradish and Heinz Chili Sauce kind of guy.... pink from the 50/50 mixture. The sauce here was a restaurant pack can of catsup and a splash of tabasco. yech. 5/10 Also as my main an Arugula Salad with Roasted Beets, NO goat cheese, Almonds, Honey-Citrus Vinaigrette, Raspberry Coulis. A VERY nice salad with an extremely fresh and beautiful collection of arugula lettuce, and the roasted yellow and purple beets were nicely cooked and prepared. The dressing was light and tasty and not some gloppy oil slick of goo. 10/10 Finally, our server brought us out a little keylime pie to commemorate our occasion, we were actually pretty full from the dinner and declined dessert but she brought this out and we took a few pictures!!! VERY nice touch!!! Thank you. I think the kitchen has improved over the last three reviews and last three or so years. The reservation and front desk and the service is variable and inconsistent, still. The communications and reservation situation is flawed - a reservation is between two parties - if we agree on something the expectation is we BOTH deliver (I arrive on time and pay, and the establishment seats and accommodates as per the expectation) Both should expect what was agreed to? Obviously this is all personnel and seasonally dependent here in Venice, FL, now that we enter the slow and less tourist oriented I think the employees and the patrons will be less wired and unpredictable. My wife and I have discussed a mid summer visit to the Crow's Nest - maybe for my birthday in August?

Actually our very first time here we couldn't get a seat because it it that popular. I love their chicken and dumpling soup. This is THE definition of comfort for to me. It tastes like a quality chicken pot pie with actual goodies, none of this whole farmland of potatoes, carrot, and peas plus some broth and butter and a shred of chicken tail and calling it a "chicken soup." This was a hearty soup with chunks of white meat chicken and soft dumplings. Basically chicken dumpling soup as they say, vs potatoes cube soup. It is a must have. I really did myself a disservice and only got a cup.... on my own vacation after working throughout the entire pandemic on-site. The gulf shrimp platter (I got blackened) absolutely delicious. I love the Bourbon Sriracha sauce and used it as a dipping sauce for my fries. You can also never go wrong with hearty mashed potatoes and their gravy. My fiance got some brisket pork combo (in the entrees section) plus mac and cheese side... so good!! This is a must go to place, and the staff are super pleasant. Zero complaints from me!
