Saw many people online recommending The Shark and it did not disappointment!! New menu EVERY DAY. Fresh ingredients that do not need to be drenched in too much seasoning and sauces to taste good. Staff was friendly and service was very fast. We came for an early dinner in the off season so it was nice and quiet with no wait. But I can easily see why a reservation would be needed during busier times. Fried oysters were crispy and the pickled onion on top was tasty (and colorful!) addition. Rockfish was a very generous portion with lovely fresh veggies. Everything cooked perfectly. The crab cake sandwich was a great classic and even the fries were pretty perfect. We will absolutely be adding this to our regular rotation of restaurants when we come to OC!

We ate here on the 4th. Made reservations on the 3rd because they were completely booked on the 3rd. I chose this place because they said their menu is fresh everyday based on what they caught, I think that's partially true, but I'm still glad we went. We started our evening off with a few small plates: shrimp and lobster dip, fried oysters, and stuffed avocado. The dip was freaking amazing. The oysters were great after you take off the blueberries. The stuffed avocado was good and weird. It had spicy tuna salad which was fantastic. I actually picked off pieces of my daughter's shrimp and lobster dip bread to eat it. The avocado was lightly breaded and either fried or baked. All of it was placed on top of a honey like drizzle. The avocado warm which is weird in itself, but it really just didn't hit the spot. I think fresh avocado would have been perfect with the spicy tuna. The sweet drizzle.... was just a big fat no. For the main dishes, we ordered a burger and a crab cake sandwich which both came with fries. The burgers were excellent. No change recommended. My husband and daughter joked that wanted a second round of the burgers to go. The crab cake was ok. My daughter bit into several shells one was really big which turned her off so she stopped eating after a few bites. Susan was a good waitress. I think she was really busy. She started off very attentive but again became very busy as the evening went on. Regardless, we'd eat there again.

Great food - stellar views. Best meal we had in OC. Prices are extremely reasonable (dinner w drinks 70-100 per person). Oysters, shrimp, and rockfish are a must. Best burger in OC hands down.
