On recent trip away from our reality in Miami we visited Venice Island for an extra long weekend. Our hosts talked up several activities and restaurants to visit during our trip... none more than Sharky's On the Pier.

We stopped by Sharky's on a Saturday night for a round of drinks and dinner. If you've ever been to a busy restaurant, you'll know what this place looked like. We were told the wait for a table for four would be about an hour. So we did what any group would do... we went to the bar for a cold beverage to wait it out.

Not only was the restaurant packed, the bar was too! In fact, the bartender barked at us for blocking the way because three of us were standing behind the sole seat at the bar we could find. The drinks were wonderful... well made to say the least.

Once we finally sat down for dinner the food didn't disappoint either. It was a little pricier than we expected. The view is great. The staff was great. Our waiter was a bit slow on the service though.

All in all, great place with a wonderful vibe and delicious seafood. If you're on Venice Island, make sure you add Sharkey's On The Pier to your list.
