Shorebird Restaurant is a coastal eatery that proudly presents a modern take on classic Americana flavors with influences from traditional seafood and steakhouses. Featuring a wood-fire grill and rotisserie, our signature dishes include Duroc Heritage Pork Chop with Brussels sprouts and brandy-poached apples, Faroe Island’s Salmon Mignon with a cauliflower purée, and Harris Ranch Prime Skirt Steak served with a red chimichurri sauce. For those looking for delicious, shareable plates, our Avocado Fries with a green goddess dressing, Twice Fried Chicken Wings with a chipotle gastrique, or items from our “Raw Bar,” are a great way to start your meal.

It had good food and service… But it is extremely loud. We couldn’t hear each other talk. It is overcrowded with poor acoustics. I won’t be going back

We changed it up a bit and started with a side dish as a starter…smashed potatoes with a lemon aioli — delicious. Then we had starters as our meal…my friend had crab cakes and mushroom risotto; I had scallops and asparagus risotto. All well-prepared and plenty of food for a dinner on the light side.

Happy hour is the best at Shorebird. Nelson the bartender was very helpful with our first time guests as they navigated their choices. Be sure to try his scratch margarita, probably the freshest we’ve ever had!

Delicious food. The taco platter has homemade corn tortillas. I had the swordfish tacos. Sooo yummy! Designer drinks with beautiful presentation. Even the table water was delicious - maybe filtered? Beautiful atmosphere.
