We had a very pleasant and delicious meal at the Shark! Everything that was placed in front of us was fantastic, from the cucumber with wasabi spread to the bread & spreads to the appetizer and main course. The fried oyster appetizer was very tasty and, for the entrees, my wife enjoyed her crabcake dish and I loved my mahi-mahi... More

Visited The Shark on the Harbor during our recent OC vacation. The establishment is a true gem. We were fortunate enough to be in town during restaurant week dined from their outstanding restaurant week menu. I have worked in the food industry for over 25 years and the offering presented to us on our visit can compete with the the... More

The restaurant is located in an out of the way place, nestled across the street from a great restaurant....but in a bayside shipyard just a few miles over the bridge. Be sure that you not only bring the address for your GPS, but take a look on Google Maps before you venture as it is hidden away. Anyhow, the intimate... More

After seeing the reviews on Trip Advisor, we decided to try The Shark. Once there, we realized we had been there several years ago and remembered a fine meal. Again, the food was excellent. Pecan crusted rock fish was absolutely perfect. I don't know how they cooked the surrounding vegetables, but I ate and enjoyed a few that I normally... More

The owners at the Atlantic House in OCMD recommended The Shark. What a great place to dine! Our dinner on Friday night was so good we made reservations to go back on Saturday. Very creative and fresh ideas! The restaurant only serves organic fresh food and all fish is from the local fisherman. You have to try it! Casual dining... More

I heard such great reviews about this place and they were all so true. This place has a great view, amazing food and good service. One of the best Mother's day experiences ever, they gave my mom complimentary chocolate and a lotto ticket for mother's day! Will defiantly go back there.

Thanks to a recommendation from one of the locals, we ventured off the strip to find this gem. Can't say enough good things about The Shark. Creative, fresh seafood with a menu that is updated twice a day depending on the day's catch. Service was excellent, our waiter knew the menu inside and out, and was very attentive.

Our third visit was just like the first two. Creative, delicious dishes and superior, friendly service (this time from Danny.) The best in O.C. and one of our favorite restaurants anywhere. If only we lived closer. Maybe we'll move!

Very busy even in off season because this seems to be one of the only fine dining restaurants in Ocean City. Nice lively crowd. Unless you want to get there at 5:00 you must have reservations. Excellent sea food and drink offerings. Fabulous view of the bay. Service warm and friendly. Fine dining....not ordinary beach fare.

My wife and I stopped by for lunch. $5.99 lunch specials are VERY good. Will definitely return to try the dinner menu...
