We always enjoy dining at Fins at Sharky’s! The food & service are always on point. I can never resist their surf & turf with the 6oz filet mignon and the Alaskan King crab legs! The seafoam margarita is also great! We highly recommend this place for date night, family night or a night out with friends. The atmosphere compliments all occasions!

The water view from this restaurant is spectacular!!! This is not an ordinary restaurant to have your meal. Prices are higher. Make sure you check their menu ahead of time, but it's so worth it! You get what you pay for it, right? We had lunch and each dish was beautifully arranged with a little special touch. The food we had was delicious!!! They brought some bread with 4 different types of butter for us to taste. I have never tasted such delicious combinations. The servers were outstanding. The environment is clean and pleasant. While in Venice, try it!

We absolutely loved Fin at Sharkys! Amazing food and service! We had the lovely Oyster Rockefeller & also tried the raw oysters that were on the menu as well. Crab Rangoon sushi was delish! The drinks were perfect. 20/10 & we will definitely be returning again. Also, thank you to our server she did great!

We dined at Fins twice in less than 24 hours, and it was an unforgettable experience both times! Aaron and Jacob were our servers, and they were absolutely fabulous—attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel truly welcome. The food was nothing short of phenomenal. We enjoyed the spicy salmon sushi, wedge salad, nachos, sliders, sea bass, salmon entree, and snapper—all cooked to perfection. And don’t even get me started on the desserts—the creme brulee, strawberry puff, and affogatos were simply spectacular! Be sure to make reservations because this place is popular for a reason. And whatever you do, don’t leave Venice without dining here. The breathtaking sunset view is the perfect backdrop for an exceptional meal. Highly recommend!

Absolutely loved our experience! The food was fantastic and the atmosphere made it even better — laid-back, vibrant, and those Gulf views were the cherry on top. The sushi was hands-down the best I’ve had since moving here. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!

We had the most delightful dinner at Fin's at Sharky's! We dined with snowbird friends who winter in Venice at Fin's one recent lovely Friday evening. I have to say it was one of the most memorable experiences my husband and I ever had. I'm a foodie and when we travel, we look for the best of the local fare and Fin's is definitely one of the best! The ambiance in the restaurant is vibrant and lively but not so that loud that it mars the experience. Fin's is located right on the beach, if you are lucky enough to catch the sunset, you have a front row seat from most of the restaurant! The cocktail and wine offerings were wonderful. Lots to choose from but I absolutely LOVED the Sea Foam Margarita. And if I hadn't been the driver, I'd have had a second one! The menu is spectacular with so many delicious offerings. My husband had the Canadian Sea Bass dinner and absolutely loved it, especially the purple Okinawa coconut potato on the plate. Our friend really enjoyed the Faroe Island Salmon. My friend and I each had the Rock Lobster tail and it was delicious and really large! Each dish was perfectly prepared. Before the meal we had the Strawberry Blush Salad and the baby Iceberg Salad. We took home a piece of chocolate cake and had it later. Yes, all four of us shared it. All we each needed was a bite after that wonderful meals. Oh, and the bread service with the four "dips" was the bomb! We didn't sample the sushi but I saw several orders of it and it looked fantastic! Now we need to talk about Simon. Simon was our terrific waiter. I have to believe when he isn't working his tail off at Fin's, he's moonlighting at a comedy club. He was one of the best waiters we have ever had the pleasure to experience. And when we are at Fin's again, we will certainly request to sit in his area. And yes I know posting this review praising him will lessen my chances of being successful in requesting his table, but it's worth the risk. He deserves all the kudos we can give him! And I say that on behalf of everyone at the table from the standpoint of being business owners in the cities we're from. We two couples are small businesses owners who serve the public and our success depends on good people who choose to work for us and the way they treat our customers is of the utmost importance to our success. Simon was very knowledgeable about the menu, gave good suggestions which, to our delight, we followed, was unobtrusively attentive to our every need and kept us laughing the entire time we interacted with him. He's a gem and it is clear he likes what he does. We can't wait to come back to Florida to dine at Fin's again! Be sure to make a reservation...especially at sunset!

My friends and I stopped in at happy hour for some snacks and drinks and it did not disappoint! Great happy hour prices and a good selection of menu options (but not so much if you are vegetarian). The drinks were gorgeous (and strong). In terms of food, we especially loved the pork bao buns and cucumber salad! The octopus salad and sushi were also decent. I would certainly come back here, either for the happy hour or to try the lunch or dinner menu

I had the best birthday meal you can imagine! Pia, our server, did an amazing job giving us great suggestions with lots of smiles! The lobster tail was delicious and my husband had the pork chop, which was wonderful. We were also treated to a dessert on the house, which was so nice! We had creme brulee and it was the best we've ever had. Thank you, Fins, for a wonderful evening to celebrate my birthday.
