When the Shorebird first opened I was super excited to try a new spot. Had no idea that I would meet a server (Ozzie) that became my main guy when I would arrive. As years have passed (almost 5 this June), I have celebrated there with my family, my friends, and my acquaintances. What is strange is that the employees here are now more my friends than those I brought with me here. Brianna is my good friend's twin sister that works here now. She is by far my new favorite server. The food is always on point. Chef Jay has become my new BFF. I don't want to say too many good things about this place cuz I like my friends her to myself!

We went for brunch and this was an excellent choice. I can't believe I didn't get more pics. Oh well you will have to go and try it for yourself. Beware it's near the coast so give yourself time to find parking and yes you will pay for parking. Yet once you get inside and experience this peaceful and serene setting you will want to never leave. The food is on point and every bite was worth cost. No complaints and plenty of food. My daughter and I shared two entrees. We loved both! We also had a large group and the service was amazing. They got every request right and worked with us to spilt the bill. Again another spot ever we lost track of time and never felt rushed. Overall great experience!! Would love to try dinner too.

Came here during restaurant week for brunch on Saturday with a few girls. We had a reservation but still had to wait 15-20 minutes for our table which was disappointing. And when we were seated our server was very aggressive and barely gave us time to look at the menu before literally commanding us to order. There was no "hi, hello, how are you" he just immediately said "what do you want?" And started jabbing at the menu with his pen. I understand that having to serve tables at brunch on a Saturday is tough enough, and throw on restaurant week on top of that and stress was probably through the roof. But we hadn't been seated for more than 5 minutes before he flew over and started barking at us. Felt like we were in the military! Combined with the long wait, it was a bad start to our dining experience. Now on to the food: the restaurant week menu was actually pretty good. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich with fries, a Caesar salad, and a mimosa for $35 - not bad at all! Everything tasted great but the mimosa came in a wine glass which was really odd, and all of our glasses were dirty so we had to ask for new ones. Ambiance was nice, though a bit loud because it was quite busy that day. It was a beautiful Saturday at 1pm and we were seated right by dock with a nice view of the water. Keep in mind that there is an underground parking structure to the left of the restaurant, but during busy days and times it can be tough to find a good spot so get there early. However the restaurant does validate up to 3 hours of parking. Overall, aside from the wait for our table and our aggressive server, I'd go back again and give it another try. Would be nice for another girls outing during the summer.

Came here for a going away dinner. Very cute place located next to the water. Plenty of seating everywhere. Was greeted nicely and was told her table would be ready shortly even though we were late going here. There is a parking garage to the left of the restaurant so plenty of parking and can be validated. We got a few appetizers to try, the meatballs, spicy tuna egg roll, balboa roll, garlic roll and albacore roll. The meatballs were good but a little too saucy for me, I didn't try the egg roll, and the 3 rolls we got were all good. For my entree I got the filet mignon. It was good but it tasted too char for me. The risotto was yummy! I did try the sea bass and that was yummy and moist which was nice. For the dessert we got the bananas, brownie and carrot cake. All were delicious! Definitely a great night at this yummy place
