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.

    Food was good, but not amazing . I found it hard to choose an item because there were few healthy options. It was quite noisy despite the sound panels all over the walls (strangely placed).

    Another amazing dinner at Shorebird. The service is top notch from the moment you walk in. Jaggers mixed drinks were classic yet exciting, and you can never go wrong with Juan as your server. This time we tried the sea bass, oysters, sushi, and pork belly skewers! I’m already looking forward to our next visit.

    Our first visit. Excellent service and the food was delicious. The menu is a bit condensed but the options are creative and innovative. Conveniently located on El Paseo, there is valet service in the front and a large parking lot in the rear.
