Rustic sophistication at it's best. The vintage feel of Sharky's On the Pier allows for frisky frolicking from sunrise to sunset. The vibe welcomes bare feet and bikinis. After your morning or afternoon on Venice Beach the restaurant welcomes you footsteps away. Yet very ying and yang of the spot, heels and fancy attire are seen often. It radiates a certain Pirates of the Caribbean type fantasy. Class meets culture. The island influenced gem has gained fame for being the only beachfront restaurant in Sarasota county. They were named Best Outdoor Dining.
The large bi-level deck offers ecstatic views of the bustling ocean rhthyms and an occassional shark catch from the pier. While sipping cocktails, live music serenades. The indoor dining emulates the world of the ocean. The savory seafood leaves a hint it has just arrived. The robust menu includes blackened ahi tuna with wasabi and peanut sauce, an array of salads, platters or a big juicy burger with fries and a creamy dill sauce. The bit of dining, dancing paradise cuddled up on Venice Beach with delicacies, sceneries and festivities awaits.

I'm not sure where you got the price range from (Price Range: $ (Under $9)) but this is more $15 - $30. The appetizers are between $5 and $12.
