We also had the Caesar wrap at our table. All were deemed great. A little disappointed in the onion rings. Totally a bar food menu but I would be back. It's really good bar food. I thought prices were VERY reasonable.

The bartender was also the server. This restaurant is working on changing up the menu and potentially adding brunch on the weekends. It has been opened about 4 months. The interior has some deeper color tones which I like. The Caesar was good but the dressing needed a tad more flavor. The steak could have been a little less bloody for medium but the fingerling potatoes were good. They don't have ginger ale which was a bummer as I really wanted a whiskey and ginger ale. The service was good so I would come back as they continue to work bad build one their menu.

Visited Sharky's on Brookside this past Saturday night and unfortunately, the experience started…read moreoff on the wrong foot. The door girl was rude and spoke to my group with an unnecessary attitude, seemingly just because we were younger. She questioned our valid IDs in a way that felt disrespectful and accusatory, which really set a negative tone before we even got inside. Once we made it in, we approached the front bar where a bartender--who I believe was named Michael based on what others were calling him--completely ignored our group. Instead of acknowledging us, he chose to carry on conversations with others and eventually left the bar altogether without saying a word. Thankfully, we decided to try the back bar, and that completely turned things around. The bartender in the back was wonderful--super attentive, friendly, and helped us pick the best drink options for our group. Her professionalism and great service are what made us decide to stay. However, one final issue stood out: after sitting in the back area for about 20 minutes, we saw the same front bartender, Michael, exit an employees-only room, and as he opened the door, a strong smell of smoke filled the air. It was unpleasant and surprising, especially since we thought Sharky's was a non-smoking establishment. Overall, the night had its ups and downs. Big shoutout to the back bar staff for turning our experience around, but the unprofessionalism at the front definitely left a bad impression.

Adding protein is an extra cost, but worth it. We loved the meatballs! Dessert, not pictured was bread pudding...made with bread from Country Bird bakery it had a unique texture...but in a good way! It was delish! Service was impeccable and their barkeep was hoppin but worked like the definition of efficiency...I don think they stopped the entire time we were there. The only thing missing was arriving on a Vespa.

The drink menu was elevated and very unique. I ordered the Mercado Roma (see picture) and my husband ordered a double ranch water. He ended up getting the Mercado Roma as a second drink because it was so delicious. My second drink was an espresso martini and I have to say it was pretty darn good. This is definitely an elevated place to get a drink but I don't believe they serve food. I didn't see any inclination that they do. I would definitely go back if I was looking for a nice place to have a drink. Service 10/10 Atmosphere 10/10 Quality 10/10
