Went to church Sharkeys for a dinner date, and the food was excellent. Service was excellent. Only criticism was that the prices were a little steep for the food that was offered. Waiter was excellent and attentive, and the ambience was extremely nice. Would recommend visiting if you're looking for a very nice sitdown restaurant with excellent food and service. read more

Went there last evening our waiter, Dillon was great, wife loves the Faro salmon and I had the filet with 3 shrimp and it was delicious. The prices are comparable, if not less than other fine restaurants. Beautiful views of the gulf and beach with both inside and outside seating. read more

The service was very slow at this glitzy restaurant when we dined on a Friday night. It took 1/2 hour to get our drinks, longer for bread. I really wanted the coconut shrimp roll, but was told that it would take 30 minutes for sushi, so I ordered the swordfish and it came out 40 minutes later. The sunset view was very nice and our waiter Simon tried to distract us (and other tables) from the wait with the same corny jokes about my mom and I looking like sisters, etc..that got old after a while. My husband ordered his steak medium but it was well done when he got it. Other entrees were ok, but we'll stay far away from this tourist trap if we visit Venice again. read more

This is our go to restaurant when we have out of town guests! The view is spectacular if you sit outside (request table 207 or 208). Come close to sunset and you won't be disappointed. My wife has gotten the calamari appetizer and it's always been delicious. The fish tacos (usually mahi mahi) have an ample amount of meat. The variety of food on the menu will satisfy anyone's pallet. If you are a sushi lover, their "rolls" are great. The staff is courteous, efficient and well trained. Reservations are recommended. read more

Beautiful location on the beach! Service was very good. The watermelon salad was disappointing- under dressed and mostly greens, but the grilled octopus was outstanding - highly recommend!!! read more

Thank you to our server Gage for telling the story of the josper oven. If you are a ribeye fan-get the ribeye, wow read more

Fins At Sharky's - Steakhouses Near Me - Venice, Florida

It's on the Gulf, nice views. So much for the good part.... Overpriced seafood & Italian food that isn't so special. Run of the mill really. Nice views though! It's basically a tourist trap & the hut below it is much worse! Overpriced drinks that aren't really done well, rude hosts & bartenders. They literally snap at you unless you are young girls, they get service with a smile & stare. The poor servers try hard , but they aren't done any favors by the other 2 previously mentioned. Avoid this place below, you can see the beach from better spots. read more

The service here was awful, but the drinks were STIFF. I had the Smoked Pineapple Rum Old Fashioned, and it was so delicious and so strong, I was positively elated when I left. The mojito was also really strong and delicious. read more

One of the best restaurants I've been to. From the food to the outdoor seating and catching the sunset, it was amazing. What we had: margaritas were some of the best I've ever had. lobster chowder was amazing. The lobster potato nachos were fantastic and came with some decent sized pieces of lobster In them. We ordered a bunch of other stuff and it was all delicious as we kind of shared things around the table. Overall great food at a great value. read more

At first you'll ask yourself how can this place be any good, on top of or part of a beach bar. But it is. This place along with 1 Italian restaurant in Venice were the only decent meals we had in 7 days. Great food. Almost as great as the sunset views this location provides. Book it!! And don't think twice. read more

We go here so much that the receptionist knows me now. I love it here. It is classy, romantic, high end eatery with great drink options as well and the most beautiful views of Venice beach! read more

I've eaten there three times now, and will be going back again for lunch in the next couple days. Beautiful sunsets and also the food lives up to the reputation. As well as the service! read more

Lovely spot for lunch. My second visit. I thought sunset here was spectacular only matched by the fresh delicious sushi. But stopping in at noon with the beautiful weather was the best idea. Enjoyed a Blue Fin Colada, A Rainbow Roll and their version of Fish and chips. The size of their fish portion in the fish and chips was filling and delicious. My rainbow roll had a great mix of fish (blue crab tuna and salmon). And the presentation is so beautiful. The service was great as well. Treat yourself to this experience.. Just a note from my first visit - their oysters were fresh and tasty. Their sea foam margarita also delicious. I am definitely coming back read more

We have been to Fins a handful of times now and it does not disappoint. LOVE that they take reservations and we usually get a water/sunset view which is amazing! We both had amazing steaks and will for sure be back! read more

This place has really friendly staff, a great atmosphere, and some amazing food! Rebecca was a hostess who took our reservation over the phone and talked with us when we arrived. She was sweet and welcoming over the phone and in person, which our big group appreciated. We had Fran as our waitress who really made the dining experience come to life. Of the entire group of six people we had, there was not one food or drink item we ordered that we didn't love. By far though, the chocolate mousse is something everyone needs to try when they go there. That was a collected favorite. Highly recommend this place! read more

This is our special occasion, bring folks from out of town restaurant. I've never had a bad meal here, in fact I've lived it all! I'm not big on calamari, but it's amazing At Fins, not chewy or rubbery, tender & flavorful. I'm also not a big bread eater, but I should be ashamed at how much of their focaccia bread & can eat. And to top it off, it's a lovely view read more

Awesome food, great views! We have been multiple time and have never had a bad meal or service. read more

Great everything!!! Sushi is high grade, the drinks are spot on and the service is great at the bar. Will be back many more times...

Food is ok but expensive for what you get. Presentation is nice. It's a great place for a view of the Gulf and Sunset read more

The restaurant has a beautiful view of the beach and water. You can see the sunset from your seat. The waiter was very attentive and polite. I wasn't impressed with the bread which is served cold with dips. Only one dip the olives was good. The appetizers took a long time to come out. The oysters were good not a fan of octopus but the other people at the table liked it The surf and turf sushi was plentiful and excellent. All in all it was a good meal and I would come again. read more

This is always one of my favorite spots to visit when I'm in town! I have never had meal there that was less than perfection. In addition to the unforgettable menu, this restaurant is one of most romantic destinations in SW Florida! The wraparound porch with outdoor seating offers the perfect setting for enjoying the sunset. I also recommend ordering one of their delicious bottles of wine and decadent desserts! read more

Amazing service and food! Love their breads and toppings. I had a delicious smoked rib eye. It was perfectly cooked and enough for leftovers! We had a great waitperson named Sandy. She took great care of us. Also loved Jane... she helped us with our reservation. read more

Fins At Sharky's - View of the pier from our table over dinner at Fins. - Steakhouses Near Me - Venice, Florida

This place is right above Sharkeys and I believe it might be a higher end rendition of the restaurant below? I'm not sure but we are really glad that we were direct it up there because nothing was available downstairs. The view was really nice for cocktails on the patio until our table was ready. We had a window table and the service was excellent. The manager came once or twice to make sure everything was perfect. I had a shrimp cocktail and my wife had the stone crab claws. The claws were so delicious that I even had to ask if they were cooked in sugar water. Truly outstanding. My Seabass was the best I've ever had After asking for it to be cooked through, and otherwise it's not sushi. It was excellent. My wife's fillet of beef was excellent tasting but just a little bit overdone. She likes it medium and it was medium well. They offered to take it back but we didn't want to. I would definitely go back here again to try other things. The only reason I do not give it five stars is because of the outside being somewhat dirty with Sharkeys below. And the extreme crowd approaching the location.... read more

Fins at Sharky's has one of the best Gulf-front views in Florida, unrestricted views up and down a very nice sliver of the Gulf of Mexico from just about anywhere in the restaurant's huge windows! For those who would like to enjoy the sunset, try the outside deck on a cool evening. We chose a dish cooked on the Josper Grill, a charcoal grill used by some 40,000 restaurants world-wide to achieve a high quality of grilling inside the restaurant. We chose the Grilled Tenderloin Salad with perfectly seared tenderloin pieces on a skewer. I would have liked a bit more food, but the small Creme Brulee for dessert helped. The tab was a bit pricey, but the views and quality justify a premium. A few irritating things: The slim, tall water carafe left on the table was about 18 inches high and was made of heavy glass and difficult to pour, interfering with a view of our guests. The server was usually unavailable to fill the water glasses, so we struggled a bit with four persons. read more

Good food, good location, but extremely over priced....its Venice but its not Venice Italy, no need to cost so much.

Food and service excellent. Went above and beyond to wish us happy anniversary.knew I had dairy and gluten allergies recommended what I could eat. Even brought out a small bowl of chips so I could taste dips that came out with the bread. No restaurant has ever done that. Highly recommend read more

Service was really quick and efficient. Sit outside if you can, because it's right on the beach and it's shaded. The food was great.

Terrific oceanside dining! Majestic views and gourmet food featuring local grouper, crab, and beef organically sourced. Drinks were a visual feast and desserts too pretty to eat. But we managed to finish every bite. Fins is a must see for anyone visiting or local. Impeccably designed for ocean views most tables. Top notch bartenders and wait staff. Reserve on yelp for best tables or face a long wait time. read more

Went for our 10th year Anniversary. It was a great experience. I'm sure that during the day time the beach scene would be great. At night time not so much. The food was great. It was delicious in all sense of the word. Although the sides are chef picked they are flexible. The potatoes a'la mashed where a delight and the prime rib cooked the way any experience eater would like it. read more

Amazing place on the beach, but it's not a walk-in with your coverup on. Food is out of this world. Inside and outside seating and the sunsets are epic. Great Happy Hour daily 4-6. I had the Shojin Ryori roll. 6 bucks and delicious. read more
