Excellent seafood and drinks across the board. We would go back for the tuna poke and tacos. The oysters were shucked well, clean, and tasty. Smashed avocado aka guacamole and salsa were Telmex worthy. You pay a little more for but the experience is worth it. I agree below that the tenders are fine but not at the price

We came on a Monday evening. Limited seating especially with kids. Hostess was very nice. Our server was confused and tried to take out several different times and also bring out food that wasn't ours. Food was ok but overpriced for what we got. Drinks were also pricy. 2 adults and 2 kids and over $200 later. Would not return here.

stopped in here fairly late on a Saturday night. Was immediately asked if we had reservations (no) so it was about a 20 min wait. There's not room to wait by the bar so we had to stand outside- not really a big deal; just noting that you can't grab a drink at the bar while waiting. Our server Savannah was great! We split the firecracker shrimp (heat!!) & the chicken & kale burger - yum! Limited local beer choices. Overall we would definitely come back again!Kid-friendliness: If I had young kids this would not be a good choice due to space. Definitely more family friendly options in the area

We recently had the opportunity to visit Shark Bar again as this is our go to place when visiting beach. We always request Dakota to be our server. If we have questions regarding new item or a specific drink she always provides excellent service. Thank you for providing excellent customer service each and every time! Hard to find these days.

Normally I wouldn’t post a review but I definitely felt like this time I needed to write one considering as I scrolled down I seen at least one other person with the same problem..My fiance & I dined here on Friday 3/23/24 at around 6pm, we got our drinks pretty quickly and had enough time to look over the menu and decide on what we wanted I got a burger and he got a fish plate our waitress checked on us a couple of times and she was nice enough however that’s not the problem we ate paid then left, we marked out the option on the receipt to tip on the card and instead wrote cash to let the waitress know her tip had been left on the table the following morning my fiance got a notification on his cash app card that his total had been updated to include tip it was $55 but had updated to $75 which is a $20 tip!!!At first we thought automatic gratuity but then even ifthey did automatic gratuity it wouldn’t have been $20 and we left enough cash on the table to cover a good tip. It doesn’t make any sense why an additional $20 was added onto our bill with no explanation.It was a good location and the people were friendly but it’s very confusing and frustrating to have an additional $20 added onto our bill….Unfortunately due to this incident we will not be back…
My husband and I got there around 8pm, we got seated right away. Our server was quick and attentive. I ordered the crab cake and asparagus . Very well made and very delicious!! My husband got the shrimp and chips! Huge shrimp, a side of coleslaw and very crispy fries!! Then we got the brownie and chocolate chip brookie (I believe) with ice cream!! Omgosh so good. This place was very good but limited menu. So cute inside, limited seating.

Great fresh food, great friendly bar service. Small plate fried shrimp and chips and tuna poke salad. May come back tomorrow for a repeat. Upbeat bar atmosphere with beach theme, located near Jonny Mercer Pier.

Had a question about my order and was verbally attacked by bar staff, no intention to return, clearly customer does not come first. Too many other good options

Expensive! We ordered the red snapper service and the shrimp tacos. Three tacos for $32!!! What?! This wasn't a fine dining establishment with water views. The prices do not match small cramped venue. Thank God they tasted good, but they are tacos, taco sized with no special sizes....The ceviche was okay. We've been spoiled by good cevicve in other restaurants, so it wasn't remarkable especially for the price.

I had to pay for parking at this restaurant, $6 per hour. Food was made to order and very tasty, but service left something to be desired. Our waiter was serving both as bartender and waiter, so felt neglected at times. Prices are a bit high for the portions, but the quality and freshness made up for that a bit. Paid $8 for a Pale Ale and the glass was 3/4 full.. Quite obviously a restaurant in the market of tourism, so as a local I don't think I'd go back due to the prices and mediocre service. The food is the best redeeming quality.
