Look to be honest; it isn't as good as the old location. I don't mind fish smells as I love the stuff, but it does smell a little as you are next to fishing village either side.
Sharky's very quiet - in the old times it was always busy. Still get the hawkers which is good - need to the fireworks and things :)
Music doesn't arrive to around 7 as they have to walk up the main part of the beach first.
Meal is nice - they are a little tighter on the weights than they were previously.
For the local; they work on 30% commission (as most in Jimbaran). So if you take a driver they'll get 30% of your spend. If you have a local friend; take them with you and they'll get some of the commission. ie. negotiate 10-20% discount from your bill and they'll get the remainder as commission.
