party of 8 had dinner at Sharkey's on the Pier and rated the
mahi Mahi/ cocktails fair because "I was so-so with the meal"
and writes on 9/16/2009: "When we got to the restaurant, it was
nice to the eyes, the sunset was amazing.. The service was the
worse I have experienced ever.. Very slow and the waitress
seemed miffed to being working that day.. The food was just ok,
I was expecting to much I guess.. I felt I could of gotten
better seafood at Captain D's. My mahi Mahi was not very good,
It had a off taste to it."

party of 1 had dinner at Sharkey's on the Pier and rated the
chicken fair because, "adequate for a tourist destination, but
too greasy for my taste." and writes on April 23, 2007,
"Sharkey's food is fair, but not the subject of this comment. I
was sitting at the bar after dinner listening to the band, and
when a friend of mine arrived I tried to order a glass of wine
for her. I was rudely told by the bartender that I had to get
out of my seat and go stand in line at the other side of the bar
if I wanted to buy her a drink and then he walked away. When I
complained to another bartender about it, I was told that if I
did not like it there I should leave.
I have never been treated so rudely and poorly in any bar or
restaurant in my life. They seem to take pride in their
arrogance. "

party of 5 had lunch at Sharky's on the Pier and rated the
Coconut Shrimp, Clam Chowder, Quesadillas very good because,
"most of the party were very happy with their meals." and writes
on February 8, 2007, "This was "girls day out" for 5 women. We
had driven from Port Charlotte to do some shopping and have
lunch. Sharky's was the perfect location because it was right on
the water and some of us were able to do some beach walking
while waiting for our table. The wait for a table was less than
the estimated 25 minutes. Two of the women had the grouper
specials and one had the quesadillas. Myself and another woman
were especially looking forward to having coconut shrimp. I had
a cup of clam chowder in addition to the shrimp. It was
excellent, loaded with pieces of clams, thick and wonderfully
spiced. The shrimp, however, were a big disappointment. They
were flattened, breaded and overcooked, which made them
extremely dry. I would definitely go back to the restaurant, but
not for the coconut shrimp."

Mathes and a party of 6 dined on burgers, seafood, nachos and
the frozen specialty drinks and rated the food excellent
because, "everyone could find something they wanted, even the
kids, and we were all very pleased with our food." and writes on
November 28, 2004, "I rate this restaurant as excellent because
of the food, the drinks, and the overall atmosphere. I have been
to Florida 4 times and each time I have made it a point to visit
Sharky's. When we were last there in February 2004, we ate lunch
outside on the deck. We had a variety of food, including seafood
nachos, seafood pasta, burgers, chicken tenders for the kids,
and several other items. Everything was done perfectly and the
service was excellent. During the same visit to Florida, we made
it to Sharky's again for dinner and stayed well into the night.
I will make sure to visit Sharky's everytime I visit Florida!" Anonymous
says they have visited Sharky's 50 times and ordered Mahi Mahi,
seafood pasta and rated the food excellent because, "I have
never had a bad meal there yet and I have been going for 20
years now." and writes on June 29, 2004, "I'm not going to write
a very long review, I am just going to say that I am driving a
hundred miles out of my way to dine at Sharky's! That should
tell you something!" Allan
Hoskins and a party of 6 dined at Sharky's on 7/14/2003 and
rates the food excellent because, "I ordered pasta with shrimp,
scallops, lobster, and mushrooms in a wine sauce. There was more
than enough for two people and was one of the best meals I had
in the 4 weeks I was in Venice." He writes, "The outside patio
is outstanding, especially during a sunset. The storms can be a
little exciting but the music continued as long as the wind
didn't blow. The seafood pasta was outstanding and there was
plenty for two. I wasn't real happy with the $2 charge for the
second plate since my wife didn't order a meal, but she did
order a salad. All frozen drinks are very good and the beer is
cold...the draft is the best buy... and I've tried all of them.
It can be hard to get a patio table...sometimes its bump and run
to get one when people leave and on other nights its reserved. I
haven't got that figured out yet but I will. Sharkey's is one of
our favorite places to eat in the area and there are SO many
good places to go. Oh, one final note...the server who has very
happy feet and dances all over the place is a real keeper. She
is so fun to watch. Can't wait till Christmas." The
Max party of 4 had lunch at Sharky's and dined on Jambalaya and
Grouper and writes on 11/12/2002: "This was the 4th time
we had been there for lunch. If you stay away from ethnic dishes
they feature from time to time you won't be disappointed. If you
stick with the seafood you will be happy. The cook the standards
well and show good inventiveness in other dishes that should
satisfy most palates. The fruit/vegetable breads are outstanding
and everyone is friendly and anxious to serve. It is great place
to take visitors. The lunchtime prices are quite a good value.
We haven't eaten dinner there."
Josephine of New Jersey writes, "We liked
this restaurant because the food is good and the prices are also
good. It's casual, which we like when we
are on vacation. We don't like to dress up when we are away. They are very accommodating to the kids and
tolerate them going to the fish tanks to
watch the fish.
We always try to find restaurants that our kids which are both
under 6 enjoy.
The views are terrific and when not too hot it's nice to sit
outside on the pier.
The service on both occasions has been very good and the
restaurant was very clean.
We will definitely go back next time we are in the area." |
