Jack from Scotland was our server and did an excellent job! He was very engaging and really seemed to enjoy his job. They have so many food choices and a price point for everyone and the restaurant is beautiful! We had the lemon cesar salad, avocado fries, wagyu burger and veggie taco plate. Everything was so good (besides the French fries that came with the burger, those need some work). Otherwise, the experience overall was an A+! We’ll definitely be back to try additional menu items.

We were dining with an elderly woman in a family reunion so the very loud ambiance was not ideal for conversation due to large groups celebrating all over the restaurant but we ( the younger member’s of the family) loved everything else about it.

My family flew in from out of town and I booked an early table for 6 for Happy hour drinks and appetizers before dinner. We were made aware happy hour pricing is only for seating at the bar after we sat. No where on their website does it say happy hour is restricted to the bar. We spoke to the manager and kindly asked if they’d honor it at our table seats and they refused. We got up and left. Kind of ridiculous to have limitations on a happy hour and not make you aware ahead of time. They lost hundreds of dollars from our table to save $8 per espresso martini and $3 on a sushi roll…. And we would have bought multiple rounds and apps. Pretentious place. I wouldn’t have booked this restaurant had I known, and we won’t be back. **changed to 3 star as response to owners message
Shorebird Newport BeachResponded on November 30, 2024
Dear Alaina, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your disappointment regarding our happy hour policy. To clarify, our happy hour details, including seating areas, are clearly outlined on OpenTable, where most guests make reservations: When: Monday to Friday, 3 PM to 5:30 PM Where: Available exclusively at the bar and surrounding high-top tables. This policy aligns with international standards for quality restaurants to maintain a casual and vibrant experience. Our GM also offered to seat your party near the bar to accommodate you, but we understand this option did not meet your preferences. It feels excessive to receive a one-star rating without trying our food or service, especially as our staff works hard to provide an excellent experience for all guests. -JM

I visited Shorebird for a friend's 21st birthday, and while the food was great and the ambiance was lovely—quiet, elegant, and perfect for a celebration—there were a few downsides. The appetizer portions were smaller than expected, and despite noting the birthday in our OpenTable reservation, we still had to ask for a birthday dessert. Service was friendly but not as attentive as I’d hoped for the price. Overall, a nice spot with great food, but a few improvements needed in service and portion sizes.
Shorebird Newport BeachResponded on November 28, 2024
Dear Kelly, thank you for providing your feedback and letting us know about these issues. We set a high standard for ourselves and are truly sorry to hear that standard was not met in your interaction with our team. We will definitely be reviewing this with our team to insure a better plan moving forward. However we are happy to hear that our location an ambiance left a lasting impression on you. We look forward to welcoming you back for a better experience in the future. Best, The Shorebird Management Team
