Good food, somewhat expensive. Great beach location. Service was a little slow, but gave us more time to enjoy the sunshine. I had the mixed platter with shrimp, crab and grouper, along with french...

I feel like I might be a softy when it comes to giving out stars but Sharky's gets five stars! When you come down to Florida from up North in the middle of winter, Sharky's is the place you had...

Good food, great atmosphere. A solid beachside restaurant. This place is hopping. Went at noon on a Monday, and waited 25 minutes for an outside table (and this is no small restaurant), but no big...

The ambiance was great. We sat inside too! I thought it was overpriced for the food though. I got a fresh piece of fish, a few red potatoes and some beans. I think I paid $22 (plus tip) for that....

Fantastic ocean views and great fun atmosphere! Food is good, but aside from the fresh seafood, sides are average and drinks are expensive. I still look forward to it, after a day on the beach or...

Gulf side dining outside, although inside dining is also available. They have nightly entertainment which is enjoyable. Serves steak, chicken and salads in addition to their delicious seafood!

There are things I like about Sharky's: - Sitting outside overlooking the beach as the sun goes down on a hot evening - Freshness of the fish - Certain preparations like blackened - Some of the bands...

This is a review for the outside bar. We only sat and had drinks and did not eat. The bartenders were friendly and hlepful. We sat at one of the tiki hut bars. My husband drank beer and I had a...

the food is awful, the drinks are overpriced and watered down but most importantly the people that work there could not be any ruder to people - visiting from other places - trying desperately to give them...

Where DID they go wrong. How about slow service, where's the server, where's the check? Probably the grand finale after you say you want separate checks in the beginning - NO, corporate policy is one check,...

I'll have to go with 4 stars on this one, though I would lean a little more towards 3-1/2 (can you guys tell I need half ratings :)?). I relly enjoy Sharky's because of the location, right there on...

Sharky's On The Pier is a great restaurant with wonderful fresh seafood! It's located in Venice, FL, about 20 minutes south of Sarasota on the Gulf of Mexico. Plan on spending the day at the beach searching...

The ambience is what you get for going to Sharky's. You're right off of the beach, but to wait 30 minutes at 8 pm for a table on a Tuesday was a little much. Maybe it was the one man band, because...

The only thing going for this place is the view of the ocean that you get when you sit outside. Food is pretty mediocre - Pulled pork sandwich that I ordered seemed like it was out of the can or...

This is a quaint resturant right on the gulf of Mexico. It has outdoor dining, and live entertainment on some weekends. They built an observation deck on the roof, but it would have been better to add...

Best place to sit on the upper deck and watch the sunset and drink. The food in the restaurant was not very good. We eat lunch there and was very disapointed. The nightlife is a great over 50's pick up spot....
