Sharks Seafood Bar & Steamer Co.

Wow just wow! From the moment you walk through the door, the wonderful steamed seafood butter and garlic aromas fill the air. The vibe is cozy and family oriented. Karen and her team go over and above for each and every customer. It will be a diner to remember. Nothing but good vibes and warmth from this must visit Restaurant! Great date night or family and friends gathering. The bar is also a great place for the solo travelers who have a hankering for delicious seafood and cocktails!

Small tucked away place that you got to look for. They cook all their fish through old time steamers, nothing fried.. You can sit at their bar and watch the cook.Small operation but big on Food. We had Cioppino - portions were large, price was reasonable and the "lazy man's" Cioppino was the best we had on the coast. We will be back!

It is so rare to be welcomed into an establishment with such warmth and kindness. That was the beginning of our fabulous meal at Shark's. We have been camping for two weeks now so we were looking for a casual spot - nothing fancy. We both ordered dinner salads and the cioppino - I had mine with the pasta. The salad was generous and fresh and the cioppino was the BEST we have ever had...I especially love not having to work so hard to enjoy my dinner. At Shark's the crab in the cioppino is served with the shell removed. We mentioned a place we frequent in Nor Cal/Moss Landing and the hostess said she was familiar with the place. She mentioned Sunset Magazine did a spotlight on their cioppino, as well as the Moss Landing restaurant's and a place in Seattle. We only have one night here in Newport and we feel so fortunate to have found Shark's.

Karen always welcomed us with open arms and a hug. If that's not a fantastic starter, check out the menu. I would rate it as one of the best seafood joints I have ever experienced. The quality of food and their cooking make a huge difference. We have come back for dinner every time we come to Newport, at least once. Highly recommend you to try.

Off the beaten path for Newport but right on 101. The best seafood we have had on our entire trip. The night before we ate on the Newport “main drag” and this blew everything out of the water. The seafood was steamed and incredibly delicious. If you want a true local feel, this is the place to go. You can see the ocean from the restaurant and it’s so quaint! Thankful we stumbled upon Sharks. The Cioppino was AMAZING and staff is unmatched.

This is the BEST restaurant in Newport! My family came here 7 years ago and traveled 3,000 miles from Pennsylvania to come back again this summer for my Dads 60th birthday! The service is outstanding, the quality of food is amazing, and the atmosphere is extremely welcoming. There were several regulars in there that the waitress knew by name so that’s always a great sign! Can’t wait to go back 😃 🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈

Everyone in our party of four liked their meal and cocktails. The place is extremely small. Four tables that fit four and three more that fit two, but we went on an off night, Wednesday night, and did not have a wait. Never felt rushed. Delicious, perfectly made, and generously poured cocktails. One thing I greatly appreciated is that when our fabulous waitress, Karen, told us about the specials she also told us the price of the specials. Most specials were about $43-$46 but the menu items have wonderful choices for around $25-$30 each. They were also extremely accommodating for my very challenging dietary restriction of "no garlic". Very generous portions of seafood. Definitely would come back again, and highly recommend the restaurant. Although, pricey, fresh seafood is pricey.
