Best atmosphere hands down. Impress your out of town friends by eating in the beach . Always busy so make sure you plan ahead with a reservation or you may be in for a wait.

Jennifer Edmundson

We had so much fun! Go and just chill get beer . The calamari and artichoke dip was amazing and my blacked mahi-mahi sandwich was killer .

Sandro Di Simplicio

As usual the best combination among good food, good cocktails and great atmosphere. King crab is a must must

MLe B

The plank is fantastic! Super big portion enough to split with a friend. It has three different local fish in a cream lobster sauce , a dish unlikely to find elsewhere.

Karen Lee

Two words: MANGO BANGO ! Crab and avocado tower is a must, when it is available. Try the Grouper sandwich blackened with the edamame salad . You won't be disappointed!

Brian M.

Great service inside and outside. Friendly / clean / great views / great drinks. Awesome gift store on site.

Chris Burns

Nothing better than drinks on the beach listening to live music and enjoying great food. The filet is worth it!

Raphaella Vaisseau

I've been here many times. Favorites include Onion rings , bean & Cheese nachos , mahi mahi tacos (NOT the fish tacos ). I DON'T care for the key lime pie . Not authentic (sweet, not tart ).

Mike M.

Awesome drinks. Awesome scenery. Can't beat this place for a drink at sunset .

Mary PARNP-BC

Great ambience. Good service and the food is tasty. Been twice and would go back again but I love to eat & drink on the beach !

Brent Simon

The fin next to Sharkey’s . Great upscale awesome views . Air conditioned . Octopus . And calamari app are way to go.

ENGMA

Delicious frozen alcoholic drinks . ????

Sandro Di Simplicio

Unmissable if by chance you are in Venice. Don't forget to try the Crab 's legs

Keely B

Great food and amazing atmosphere. Seafood Aruba is fantastic, but you need to ask for it. It's the epitome (note correct spelling) of a Floridian restaurant .

Bob T

It’s the tourist place in town . Go for sunset .

Cyndi Popp

Great location right on beach . Friendly wait staff .

Lynn Selby

Thai pasta with shrimp , burgers and drinks! Beach bar atmosphere is the best!

I'd go someplace else if I were you. This place is not what it used to be. To many other great seafood and tiki bar restaurants to choose from. Read your reviews first, Then pick !

Christy Wopperer

Great atmosphere, indoors and out. Even more room on the beach for a picnic :) All new showers and changing rooms.

Lynne C

Every year it gets bigger & bigger & that means a verrrry long wait . But it's worth it for the view .

Daryl McElroy

Always the place to go when I'm in town , cold beer great food and one of the best beaches in South Florida!

Jay Auxier

Has two electric vehicle charging stations . They appear to be connected to a big array of solar panels

Matthew Fisk

Great food/drinks and best view in Venice.

Fabio Narvaez

Sit in the tables in the bar area if you don't want to wait. Great views of the sunset . Food was a little overcooked.

Crystal Menzel

We always bring out of town guest love it!

Bartender pours a mean drink from 9am to 4pm food good. Not sure about next bartender but this guys great for a bad day.

Very Good food and great atmosphere.

Don't order The calamari but the stuffed mushrooms were fabulous!!!

Locals I know only go when they have guests,it's overpriced,&tastes like frozen food.Unfortunately it's the only restaurant on the beach so that is the only real reason to go,definitely not for food
